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

Jiang Yan was surprised that she would ask such a question.

Seeing her awkward expression, he had a sudden thought and took a few steps toward her.

The two were not far apart to begin with, and his tall figure was standing in front of her in no time.

The room wasn't very big, and every time he leaned against her, he liked to press himself tightly against her.

Siyi's breathing became erratic, and she felt as if a pair of burning eyes above her head could pierce through her internal organs. She subconsciously stood up, wanting to take a step back.

However, her ski boots were too cumbersome, causing her to lose her balance and almost fall.

A pair of hands reached out just in time to support her firmly, and a familiar scent surrounded her.

Siyi's heart was racing, and she couldn't bring herself to look at his face.

Jiang Yan reached out a hand and gently lifted her chin, his deep voice carrying a hint of allure, "Baby, look at me."

Siyi's heart trembled, and she dared not look him in the eye.

She always knew that there was an abyss in his eyes, and every time she looked at them up close, she would involuntarily sink deeper and become unable to extricate herself.

Jiang Yan noticed her eyes darting around, and she wouldn't look at him. He didn't force her, but gently pinched her chin with his thumb, stroking it lightly. As if on purpose, his deep voice was even more captivating and profound, "You really don't know?"

Siyi's heart trembled even more violently.

Don't you know?

She's not really an idiot; how could she not know?

She dared not think too much about it, nor did she dare to even consider it. The distance between them was too vast, like an unshakeable mountain. She knew she was weak, but she was powerless…

She had tried her best to control herself, but he always managed to provoke her when she was at her most vulnerable. She knew that this man had taken over her body and soul inch by inch.

She would experience emotions she had never felt before because of him.

However, she took this matter too seriously, and she couldn't ignore her family. She knew that even if she had the courage, she wouldn't have the strength to take that step. She didn't dare to take the risk. Maybe he could, but she knew she couldn't.

She regretted it; she shouldn't have asked him that question.

Because she realized that although the question was directed at him, the answer was clearly in her own heart, and even the deepest feelings within her were becoming unbearable to suppress...

She knew she couldn't continue like this; the atmosphere was too ambiguous, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself if things continued.

She was scared.

Yes, for the first time in her life, she felt afraid.

I'm afraid I won't be able to control the feelings deep in my heart.

So he could only struggle to change the subject, "I... I feel a little pain in my feet, these boots might be too small."

Jiang Yan narrowed her eyes, knowing full well that she was merely using this as an excuse to change the subject; she still had no intention of facing the truth.

In truth, what she could sense, he could sense as well. The expression on her face before him emanated involuntarily from the deepest recesses of her heart.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize that she only showed that shy, girlish side when she was in front of Jiang Yan Hui.

"Then get a bigger pair."

He helped her sit down again, took a pair of shoes a size larger from the side and helped her put them on. After buttoning them up, he asked her how the size was.

Siyi didn't dare look him in the eye anymore and nodded symbolically to indicate that she could.

Jiang Yan slowly stood up, looked at the top of her dark hair, and suddenly said, "Rest for a while tonight, and I'll take you skiing tomorrow. There are two rooms here, you can choose one to rest in."

After he finished speaking, he didn't linger and turned to go downstairs.

Siyi blinked, watching his departing figure, feeling a little uneasy.

She had expected him to press her for details; wasn't that always been his personality? But he didn't say a word. She felt like a turtle, retreating into its shell, yet deep down she hoped someone would call her name a few more times, giving her the courage to peek out again…

She knew she was selfish and cowardly, but what could she do?

Why is it that I can't pick it up, yet I can't bear to put it down?

Of course, Siyi had no idea that Jiang Yan's behavior was not due to anything else at all.

He just felt that Ye Siyi was a very smart and thoughtful person. Since she had already thought of the most crucial point, it would be better for her to see through some things herself.

In matters of the heart, Siyi is no match for Jiang Yanhui; his move is a classic case of "playing hard to get." Yet, Siyi finds herself completely unsettled by his manipulative tactics.

Fortunately, this state didn't last long. Jiang Yan was surprisingly well-behaved throughout the night and didn't bother her. She wasn't one to dwell on things, and since she came to relax, she decided to put aside any questions she couldn't answer for the time being.

That evening, she took a shower, stood by the window, and looked down at the small town below.

Many skiers gathered in twos and threes at a small bar not far away. Because it was night, there were several orange lights in the white snow, reflecting the wooden and metal chain bar signs, with a few vines and wildflowers dotting the scene. The distant mountains blended in, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the annoyance of red lights.

As Siyi looked at everything before her, she suddenly remembered what Jiang Yan had said: "When you come to a place like this, surrounded by white expanse, it will purify your soul."

A slow smile crept onto her lips. Who says a man's mouth can't produce ivory?

Sometimes his words are quite profound, aren't they?

At least for this moment, she truly felt as if her soul had been purified.

Because she was relaxed, Siyi slept very well that night. Although she was a little uneasy about the bed and the fact that everything around her seemed transparent, she quickly drifted off to sleep due to the long journey. When she woke up the next day, the sky was filled with the glow of dawn. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the brilliant light and suddenly felt more excited for her skiing trip that day.

She quickly got up and tidied up.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yan returned to the door of the house.

He was dressed casually, his brows relaxed, and he was drinking coffee while chatting with a man next to him.

Siyi's French wasn't very good, but she could understand some of it. She saw the man looking at her with a smile, then at Jiang Yanhui, his face beaming with a spring breeze, and he leaned closer to Jiang Yanhui and said something.

When Siyi saw Jiang Yanhui raise an eyebrow and then turn her face to look at her with such a gentle gaze that it was almost drowning her, Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her face away, naturally not hearing what Jiang Yanhui said.

"Go get some breakfast."

He was already standing in front of me, hands in his pockets, his handsome features accentuated by the white sky behind him. "We're done eating. Let's go out."

Siyi glanced at the man sitting at the dining table, and Jiang Yan immediately leaned closer to her face and whispered, "That's the local man who looks after this house for me. I remember you should know a few words of French, right? If not, I can be your translator."

Seeing his smug look, Siyi snorted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You underestimate me."

As she talked, she walked towards the dining table and ended up having a brief chat with the man. Although her French wasn't very good, she could speak basic French, and she wasn't in the habit of talking while eating, so she ate quite quickly.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, Jiang Yan returned and was ready. She opened the car door for her to get in. Si Yi changed her clothes and, without any hesitation, jumped into the car.

Jiang Yan drove the car herself. The air was very fresh. Si Yi leaned out the window the whole way. The sky was a pure, clear blue, while the mountain peaks were divided into two sections.

The bottom is chocolate-colored, dark and deep, gradually rising as if covered with a layer of creamy milk, soft and sweet.

She covered the curtain with her hand, squinted at the mountaintop, and felt a genuine sense of joy deep in her heart.

Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Yan had barely stopped the car when Si Yi eagerly jumped out. Before she could even take two steps, someone called out to her from behind, "Si Si!"

She took a deep breath and replied without thinking, "Hmm? I'm here."

When she turned around, Jiang Yan reached out and placed a pair of sunglasses on her face. When he smiled, he always had a wicked and seductive air about him. "Don't forget this."

He seemed to have done it casually, then went to move the ski equipment, but Siyi stood there blankly, trying hard to recall how he had addressed her.

No, that's not the point. He's always referred to himself that way in a glib way, either as Sisi or Baby.

However, she never directly responded to his address.

She had always felt that such an intimate way of addressing someone was reserved for the closest people. Even her family didn't call her that, so when he used to call her by her nickname in a flippant tone, she would never respond, and she had told him countless times that she wouldn't allow him to call her that anymore. But just now… she had responded so readily. Yan had no face to be in this situation.

A sudden, damp feeling welled up inside me, as if my memories had been soaked by a silent, gentle rain.

Jiang Yan had already taken the large set of things. He walked past her and saw that she was still standing there without moving. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why are you spacing out again? Let's go."
