He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 121 Jiang Yan is coming back
The idea of taking a trip on a whim was something she and Lin Piaoyun had actually made together back in high school.
Life was carefree back then; all I thought about each day was what to eat, what to wear, and where to go.
But in the blink of an eye, everything had become unrecognizable.
That's probably life. As you keep moving forward, you'll lose some things that you once considered the most important things in life.
She just remembered their promise: even if she couldn't hike the Great Wall with Piaoyun, she thought it would have a different kind of experience if she went alone.
She didn't tell anyone, not even Ye Zhenghao. She changed her phone number, put the old SIM card in the bottom of her bag, and after explaining everything, she went to the airport to buy a plane ticket.
It only takes a little over two hours to fly from City A to Beijing.
This was Siyi's first time climbing the Great Wall, but she had done her homework well in advance. She even made a list before coming and then found a shop.
She had seen the street where she died online before. The whole street was lined with small shops, none of which were very big and they all looked pretty much the same. But when she went inside, she discovered that there was a lot more to it than met the eye.
The walls and shelves, stretching from floor to ceiling, were filled with all sorts of things. Siyi didn't know what many of them were for, and she felt overwhelmed, just like last time she came.
As she strolled along, she unknowingly entered a shop. The owner, a bearded man, was currently engraving something on the counter. He glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Hey, little girl, here to buy equipment?"
He was actually quite rugged-looking, with a full beard, and when he smiled he revealed a set of white teeth, but he gave off a very approachable feeling. "What do you want to buy? Let me show you around?"
Siyi thought for a moment and then said, "I want to climb the Great Wall. It's my first time, and I don't know what to buy. Boss, can you recommend some things for me?"
The shop owner raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard her say that, "Walking up the Great Wall?"
Siyi nodded.
He laughed heartily, "Can someone as small as you handle this?"
Siyi didn't say anything, she just smiled, but her eyes were always on the things in his shop.
The shop owner didn't say anything more and kindly started introducing the items to her. "Since you trust me, young lady, I certainly won't rip you off. Here, take a look at these." He took out quite a few items and introduced them to her. "Tent, moisture-proof bag, sleeping bag, waterproof jacket, hiking boots... oh, and this water bottle... I'll pack them all in for you."
Siyi watched as he packed all those things into a large backpack. She was surprised that he could fit so many things in it. The backpack was quite big, almost as tall as her. Finally, the shopkeeper tossed the backpack onto her shoulder and said with a smile, "Good luck. But you should buy some more chocolate and biscuits, just in case you get hungry, they'll give you some energy."
Siyi thanked them repeatedly, carried the big bag, paid the money, and left the small shop.
Finally, she took a car to the Great Wall. By the time she arrived, it was already dark, but she wasn't afraid. She had a flashlight, and this time she was there to experience something extraordinary, so she naturally wouldn't take the usual route.
She had a guidebook in her hand, which she had prepared beforehand, but being a novice, she was already struggling halfway through. Especially with such a large bag on her back, and the long road ahead looking so far, she was already panting heavily.
However, as night deepened, a few stars were scattered across the sky. She simply took off her bag from her shoulder and placed it on the ground, then lay down herself, using the large bag as a pillow. She leisurely rested there, gazing at the starry sky, as if all her worries and stress had dissipated.
She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so completely relaxed.
From graduating from high school to going to university and then pursuing further studies, she always carried an inescapable burden on her shoulders: she had to become an excellent lawyer, and she couldn't bring shame to the Ye family.
So she kept pushing forward with all her might, but when she finally reached a certain height, she realized that the life she had hoped for had long since gone off track.
In fact, it wasn't just her life that had gone off track; her family had long since derailed as well...
She gently exhaled a breath of stale air, then slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, she didn't want to think about anything anymore. She wanted to leave all the troubles behind and just enjoy this trip in peace and quiet.
Suddenly, a small noise rang in her ears. The night was so quiet that the noise seemed particularly abrupt. Siyi was clearly startled and jumped up, instinctively reaching for the flashlight beside her.
In this desolate wilderness, she's not afraid of people, but what if there are wild animals...?
Although it's unlikely there would be wild animals in a place like the Great Wall, it's always better to be safe than sorry, and she didn't want to lose her life far from home.
She shone her flashlight around but found nothing amiss, as if the noise she had just heard was a hallucination.
Siyi pursed her lips, her cautious nature still making her feel a little uneasy. She gripped the flashlight tightly and prepared to walk over to the side to take a look.
She was walking on a path outside the scenic area, which was naturally not as smooth as the paths in the scenic area. In addition, it was nighttime, and she was only focused on looking ahead, but did not pay attention to her footing. She accidentally stepped on something and twisted her ankle, losing her balance. The flashlight rolled down the slope with a thud.
Her vision suddenly went dark, and she instinctively screamed. In that instant, she truly felt that she was going to die, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist firmly and lifted her up.
She broke out in a cold sweat, not even having time to think about the person who had just pulled her back. She patted her chest, still shaken, and said, "That was close."
"You still know it's dangerous?"
A deep voice rang in her ears, each word uttered with a familiar intensity that resonated deep within her soul. But in this environment, at this time, Siyi truly believed she was seeing a ghost. She almost jumped up, but then accidentally twisted her previously injured ankle again. The pain made her vision blur, and she hissed in shock, holding her breath and gritting her teeth as she whispered...
"You...are you a human or a ghost?"
Jiang Yan was shocked by this woman's outrageous words. He couldn't help but mutter a few curses under his breath, "Ye Siyi! You woman, do you think I'm a human or a ghost? Do you wish I were dead before you'd be satisfied?"
This damn woman!
After learning about the newspaper incident, he immediately went to look for her, but he couldn't find her anywhere. Finally, he went to the office and caught up with Xiao Zhang, who had just finished get off work.
Xiao Zhang recognized him at a glance. Seeing her hurrying towards the building, he chased after her. "Young Master Yan, are you looking for Lawyer Ye?"
He had met this assistant before, but she didn't leave a deep impression on him. When she asked him this question, he nodded casually, but unexpectedly she told him, "Attorney Ye is not here. She has taken leave and said she is going on vacation for half a month."
He felt a moment of blankness, but when he came to his senses, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where did she go?"
Xiao Zhang shook her head. "Attorney Ye didn't tell me where she was going, she just said she was leaving soon." As she spoke, she raised her watch to check the time. "I think she's already at the airport by now."
Airport?
He drove to the airport without stopping, and on the way he sent people to look for her ID card registration records. Finally he found them. This woman had suddenly decided to come to Beijing for vacation.
He immediately bought the fastest flight of the day to Beijing. Of course, it wasn't a big problem for Jiang Yan to find out where she was going. The two hours he spent on the plane were enough for him to have someone investigate where she was going.
When he got off the plane and saw the information his subordinates had sent him, he found it even more unbelievable.
What is this woman thinking? She actually went hiking up the Great Wall alone so late at night?
"Don't you know the meaning of death? A woman coming to a place like this late at night. If I hadn't caught you, you would have fallen. What's going on in your head?" Jiang Yan's tone became a little harsh. He was still shaken by the thought that she had almost slipped.
At this moment, Siyi finally realized that the man holding her was not a figment of her imagination; he was real. He actually... he actually followed her here?
At this moment, she was truly stunned, and she simply didn't know how to describe her feelings; she felt a mix of emotions.
But all her feelings eventually turned into anger. She reached out and shoved him, but couldn't push him away. She growled in frustration, "Jiang Yan Hui, were you stalking me? You're shameless!"
"Follow me?" Jiang Yan scoffed, her tone dismissive. "Do you think I need to follow you? If I wanted to know where you were, I could easily find out with a simple search."
Siyi trembled with anger, "What right do you have to check my whereabouts?"
"Why can't I check your whereabouts? You're my woman, it's only natural for me to know where you go."
His domineering tone only fueled the anger deep within Siyi's heart.
She twisted and turned in an extremely uncooperative manner, trying her best to push him away, but her ankle was injured, and she was unsteady on her feet. She almost fell several times, but Jiang Yan caught her.
In the darkness, he didn't notice that her eyes were slightly red, and her stiff tone clearly carried a hint of self-mockery.
"How could someone as mentally unstable as me be worthy of being your woman, Young Master Yan? You have beautiful confidantes, all stunningly beautiful, why would you bother with someone as plain as me? Young Master Yan, I beg you to be merciful and stop bothering me. Someone as insignificant as me is not worthy of being amused by someone as important as you!"
