Siyi's heart sank heavily with the words spoken on the other end of the phone.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling; she just stared blankly at Jiang Yan Hui.

But then she saw him get up from the bed, walk a few steps away, and then ask in a low voice, "Don't cry, tell me, where are you?"

His tone was tense, and his brows revealed a rare seriousness.

Siyi naturally couldn't hear what was said next.

She just looked at the man not far away, holding a phone in one hand and the other in his pocket.

He stood there tall and straight, but the lines of his profile were somewhat taut.

In an instant, she felt as if someone had poured cold water over her head, chilling her from head to toe, and even her heart seemed to have instantly turned cold.

She pursed her lips and put on her clothes.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Jiang Yan put away her phone and walked over.

She looked up at him, the lust in his eyes long gone. Siyi sensed he had something to say, and for some reason, she stood up from the bed almost instantly and said calmly, "I suddenly remembered I have something important to do. Um... you should be awake by now, I'll go back first."

"think……"

Before Jiang Yan could even utter the word "Yi," his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, while Si Yi had already walked past him quickly toward the door.

She couldn't figure out why, but she just didn't want to hear him say anything, especially at a time like this. Her usual pride made her feel that she had to turn around and leave first, so as not to appear too embarrassed.

She reached out and forcefully pulled open the apartment door, quickly slipped out, and the door closed behind her. She then leaned against the wall for a long time.

No one knew what they were waiting for, but the door remained closed.

Two minutes later, she finally took a quick step toward the elevator, pressed the elevator button hard, and when the doors opened, she practically couldn't wait to go inside.

As the elevator descended floor by floor, Siyi kept her eyes fixed on the constantly changing numbers, feeling as if her heart was sinking little by little along with those numbers.

He didn't catch up.

Her heart felt empty, as if a piece was missing, and a dull ache lingered within her.

Perhaps she was used to him always chasing after her; perhaps she was used to him grabbing her wrist tightly whenever she turned around, and then holding her tightly without a care in the world; perhaps she was used to him constantly calling her "baby" in her ear; perhaps she was just used to it all…

Yes, habits, habits are a terrible thing.

Siyi walked out of the apartment building in a daze. Suddenly, a red sports car rushed out from the corner of the parking lot not far away. In the night, the two large taillights were particularly dazzling. She subconsciously squinted her eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the car had already disappeared at the end of the corner.

Her heart sank.

At that moment, she felt as if she had been abandoned. A heavy sense of loss washed over her like a tidal wave, with a fierce and powerful force. Her eyes stung, and she felt a cold touch on her cheek. When she reached up to touch it, she found it was tears.

She craned her neck to look at the dark sky, but couldn't see anything. The night was neither too hot nor too cold, but there wasn't a single star in the sky. She blinked hard, forcing tears into her eyes.

What's there to cry about?

She already knew that his relationship with Yu Caiyi was unusual, didn't she? She had already seen them together all the time, a match made in heaven. Besides, he hadn't made any promises to her, so what right did she have to feel sad?

"A child, yes, they have another child." These past few days, she had never considered this question. Just because he had once held her and said the child wasn't his, she had chosen to believe him and refused to think about it further, not even asking. But now, she realized that she hadn't truly believed him; she simply didn't want to face the truth.

What does this represent? What does all of this represent?

Siyi bit her lip, unwilling to think any further, and forcefully suppressed all those emotions. She took a deep breath into the thick darkness of the night, lifted herself up, and walked towards the intersection.

When Jiang Yan arrived at the bar, Yu Caiyi was lying on the bar counter.

She had already downed more than half of the glass of strong liquor in front of her, and seemed to be drunk. She was leaning against the bar, and because she was wearing a baseball cap and the light was dim, most of her face was obscured, but Jiang Yanhui still recognized her at a glance.

She strode over, stopped her from continuing to drink, and pulled her off the stool. "Come back with me."

Yu Caiyi dazedly raised her head and saw Jiang Yanhui's straight nose and captivating peach blossom eyes. She felt a surge of emotion, and all the feelings she had suppressed in her heart overwhelmed her. Almost instantly, she reached out and hugged his neck, pressing herself into his arms. "Yanhui... Yanhui, you're finally here. I've missed you so much... I really missed you so much, Yanhui... Yanhui, please don't abandon me again, okay? I'm in so much pain... Yanhui... I'm in so much pain, I beg you, please save me..."

She called out "Yan Hui" again and again. Her voice was already soft, but now that she was drunk, it sounded even more charming. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, any man who saw her at this moment would feel pity for her.

Jiang Yan's expression darkened slightly. Because the bar was crowded and noisy, he couldn't say much, so he simply lifted her up and headed for the door. Unexpectedly, a group of people rushed in, and accidentally bumped into Yu Caiyi's hat. She tilted her head back, and the hat fell off, her long, dark blue hair flying in the air. Someone turned around, seemingly wanting to apologize, but upon seeing Yu Caiyi, their mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"This...isn't this Yu Meiren? Are you Yu Meiren?"

"Wow, it really is Yu Meiren! Yu Meiren, I love you so much! Can you sign your name for me?"

"Can you take a picture with me?"

"Isn't that Young Master Yan over there? They're actually together..."

The once noisy bar was suddenly filled with a crowd of people surrounding Jiang Yan Hui and Yu Cai Yi, who were talking amongst themselves. The two of them couldn't get a word in edgewise. Yu Cai Yi, drunk, leaned against him, and Jiang Yan Hui couldn't push her away. Their intimate posture resembled that of a couple, and some people even came out with their phones to take pictures of them.

Jiang Yan's heart sank. He bent down, picked up the hat, and put it on his own head. He pulled Yu Caiyi and tried to squeeze through the crowd, but the crowd kept growing, and Yu Caiyi was very uncooperative. He had no choice but to bend down and pick her up. Seeing the group of people taking pictures of them as if they'd discovered a new continent, he looked displeased and hissed, "Get out of my way!"

But these were, after all, the masses, not journalists; most were passionate teenagers, and his words had little effect, quickly drowned out by the even more enthusiastic voices of the crowd.

Finally, the bar manager realized that something was wrong and quickly came out to smooth things over. When he saw Jiang Yan carrying the unconscious Yu Caiyi, he was so frightened that he hurriedly nodded and bowed and apologized, "Young Master Yan... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, this is not Miss Yu."

Jiang Yan didn't even bother to look at him, her brows furrowed with a sharp edge. "Disperse the people for me."

This bar is actually a small branch of Jinzuo. The manager probably never dreamed that this big shot would actually come in person today. He was scrambling to tell the security guards to disperse the crowd. He watched as Jiang Yan, with a frosty expression, carried Yu Caiyi out of the bar, and didn't forget to stand there and apologize.

Jiang Yan Hui placed Yu Cai Yi directly in the passenger seat. He walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. He reached out and tugged at his collar, frowning as if he was about to say something, when the woman beside him eagerly pounced on him, "Yan Hui..."

"Caiyi, wake up!"

Jiang Yan reached out and grabbed the hand that was trying to hug her neck, pulling and pushing her to sit up. Her tone was already showing some impatience, "If you keep doing this, I'll just call a taxi to take you home."

"I don't want to!" she interrupted immediately, looking at him with a resentful expression. She was probably quite drunk, as her speech was slurred. "Yan Hui, why are you doing this to me?"

Jiang Yan started the engine and glanced at her when she had a moment. She noticed that even her delicate face looked much more haggard.

He still felt a little reluctant, and his tone softened a bit, "Caiyi, you've had too much to drink. I'll take you home to rest first. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow when you're sober, okay?"

"Not okay!"

Yu Caiyi persisted, "Yan Hui! How many days has it been since you last contacted me? If I don't call you, will you never talk to me again? Do you really think I'll marry that devil Jiang Yansen? Do you think that just because I gave birth to Jiajia, I'll be labeled as Jiang Yansen's woman for the rest of my life?"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, eventually breaking down in sobs. "Back then, you clearly said... even if I gave birth to Jiajia, you wouldn't abandon me... as long as I was happy, you were willing to do anything... you were the one who encouraged me to give birth to Jiajia, saying the child was innocent, and I listened to you! I listened to everything you said! You told me to give birth to Jiajia, even if it wasn't your child, I still gave birth!... But now, why don't you want me anymore?!"
