He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Siyi was enraged and naturally didn't notice.

How sour his own words were, every single one seemed to have been soaked in a jar of vinegar.

In the deep darkness of the night, there seemed to be a faint smell of vinegar in the air.

Jiang Yanhui, with her sensitive nose, naturally smelled it, and was overjoyed at the moment, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, his forehead instinctively touching hers. His deep laughter, like feathers, caressed every pore of her face.

She was most afraid of his smile, which possessed an irresistible charm that made her tilt her head back. Just then, she heard him say, "Baby, are you jealous? I told you last time, if you're jealous, just tell me. Why sulk by yourself? Are you angry?"

Siyi was deeply offended by his word "jealous," and wished she could jump out of his arms. However, he held her firmly, so she couldn't move. In her anger and embarrassment, she pushed his face away with her hands, vehemently denying it. "Who's jealous? Jiang Yanhui, let me go! Let me go, do you hear me? What do you want? Can't I even get some fresh air by myself? Why are you always haunting me like this?"

"Okay, stop fooling around. Didn't you twist your ankle? Let me see."

As he spoke, he carried her to a flat area. He finally managed to put her down, but before he could even squat down, Siyi stubbornly stood up and pushed him forcefully. Jiang Yan didn't dare to push back, and could only let her push him. His tall frame swayed slightly, and he heard her say in a sarcastic tone...

"Young Master Yan, why are you bothering with someone as mentally unstable as me? Someone like me only knows how to play hard to get and is arrogant because I'm favored. Don't you think you're being pathetic for chasing after me all this way?"

This woman, every word she says to me is barbed, isn't it?

Jiang Yan looked at her stubborn face with some helplessness, sighed softly, and finally took a step forward. Seeing that she still wanted to push him away, he didn't cooperate this time. He simply picked her up horizontally and said domineeringly but gently, "Don't say you're mentally ill anymore. My Sisi is very smart and quick-witted. She can expose criminals in court. If that's mentally ill, then everyone in the world is mentally ill."

"I don't deserve it!" she replied curtly, showing no appreciation whatsoever. "Young Master Yan thinks too highly of me. A woman like me doesn't know when to stop and always yells at someone as important as you. By the way, Young Master Yan, isn't there a limit to your tolerance? Please don't hold back, I'm really afraid I'll bring bad luck upon myself."

Jiang Yan's eye twitched. For the first time in his life, he felt that his mouth was always the cause of trouble. What was wrong with saying it? Couldn't he have held back back then? He knew what kind of temper she had, but he still blurted it out. Now, every word this little wildcat used to shut him up was a blow. He felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before.

Although he always spoke in a glib and frivolous manner, he liked to be unserious when he was with her.

But she was really angry, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Especially after learning all the facts, he was even more at a loss as to where to begin.

Jiang Yan had never done anything like coaxing a woman before. "I'm sorry, okay? Sisi, what can I do to make you stop being angry?"

Siyi was taken aback by his words and was momentarily stunned. Under the starlight, she could see him looking down at her with eyes lowered, his eyes and brows seemingly filled with an indescribable tenderness. Her heart skipped a beat, and her last shred of rationality made her turn her face away immediately, forcing herself to say, "I don't deserve it. Why should Young Master Yan apologize to me? You haven't done anything wrong. Can you just let me go?"

Jiang Yan didn't speak, but stared intently at her. Si Yi was being held in his arms, her body arched back. She wanted to avoid his gaze, but it was too obvious. For a moment, she didn't know where to look. She felt him staring straight at her face, and her face gradually turned red. Just as she was about to lash out, he suddenly put her down, but only placed her where she had been lying. He then sat down next to her, one arm still holding her waist possessively. He sighed softly and then said seriously, "Si Si, there are some things I thought I would never mention again in my life, but now, for you, I'm willing to say them again. I'll only say them once, so listen carefully."

Whether it was his overly serious expression or the captivating words he spoke, Siyi paused, then forgot to struggle, sitting there, staring blankly at his profile. She watched as he pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a drag. His deep, ethereal voice, carried by the smoke drifting through the night, became somewhat unpredictable.

“I know you're upset with me because of today's newspaper article. I didn't know before that Caiyi and I were photographed at the bar last night. But Caiyi and I have nothing going on for a long time. She was indeed a woman I liked before…”

When he said this, he paused, and Siyi's heart skipped a beat, as if something was blocking her throat, making it difficult to even breathe.

Jiang Yanhui casually placed her hands on her slightly raised knees, flicked the ash from her cigarette with her slender fingers, and continued, "Caiyi and I have known each other since we were very young. In a way, we were childhood sweethearts, along with Jiang Yansen. However, he was a later addition. When I was twelve, my father suddenly brought a woman and a child from outside. That woman was Jiang Yansen's biological mother, and that child was Jiang Yansen. I didn't expect that he was actually older than me. In other words, my father had already had a woman outside for a long time, but he couldn't keep it a secret all these years. When the time was right, he brought the mother and child home and told my mother that she and that woman should get along peacefully."

His eyes turned slightly cold, and his tone carried a hint of sarcasm. "He really thinks he's an emperor, wanting to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives. Of course, I won't let him have his way. It pained me to see my mother crying every day, but I was too young then and didn't know how to comfort her. I could only try my best to attract the old man's attention. But there was Jiang Yansen, who was even better at pleasing the old man than I was. From that time on, he started to take my things. Anything that belonged to me, he would take away."

Jiang Yanhui remained silent for a moment. Siyi could sense the great emotional fluctuations he was experiencing while discussing these matters. Although he concealed it very well, she could still feel it. She really wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Just as she hesitated, the man beside her took another deep drag of his cigarette and continued calmly, "I've been fighting with Jiang Yansen for over ten years. I got together with Caiyi when I was seventeen. I did like her then, but I didn't think too much about the long-term future, after all, we were too young. Caiyi is a very good girl. She's been with me for several years. During the most difficult times of my life, she stayed by my side without ever abandoning me, even during the years after my mother's accident." "I have a very short temper. If it weren't for Caiyi back then, I don't think I would have been able to get through it. Later, I did think about marrying her after a few years when everything settled down. But at that time, I was only just over twenty years old, young and impetuous, and I loved to have fun. Caiyi wasn't actually my only woman, and she knew that herself, but she never said anything. Since she didn't say anything, I felt even more unscrupulous. I felt that I was just having fun with those other women, just playing around. As long as she had a place in my heart, that was enough. I just didn't expect that Jiang Yansen had already been coveting Caiyi, and later, because of my negligence, Caiyi got into trouble."

He suddenly stopped, not saying anything more. The half-burnt cigarette between his fingers had been blown down to the bottom by the wind. Siyi turned to look at him, and for a moment she saw endless regret and pain in his eyes. Her heart trembled slightly, and she subconsciously opened her mouth: "What happened?"

“A few years ago, the Jiang family wasn’t as powerful as it is now. Many people in the underworld were eyeing the Jiang family covetously, but they didn’t dare to lay a hand on my father. They always tried to target me or Jiang Yansen. But we weren’t so easy to deal with. I can fight, and I have many people around me. As for Jiang Yansen, he’s been a very cunning man since he was a child. Ordinary people can’t even think about scheming against him. Seeing that they couldn’t do anything to us, those people thought of targeting Caiyi.” He took out another cigarette, but held it in his hand without lighting it. His voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain an unimaginable amount of restraint. “That night, Chengfeng and I were out having fun when Caiyi was kidnapped. They must have drugged her. They originally planned to send me over to exchange her for a hostage, but I drank too much that night and didn’t answer the phone.”

Siyi's heart was in her throat. "Then... what happened next?" She didn't like Yu Meiren before, always thinking that a woman who was too beautiful and could thrive in a place like the entertainment industry must be someone extraordinary. But now, hearing Jiang Yanhui talk about these things, she felt a mix of emotions. "Did something happen to her later...?"

"Something happened? I guess you could say something happened."

He replied calmly, his tone so steady that it betrayed no emotion, "She simply went from being abused by a few people to being abused by Jiang Yansen."
