Siyi had an urge to turn around and leave.

But where can she go?

Jiang Yan put her arm around the woman and entered the elevator, but she never looked at Si Yi's face.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

In that small space, Siyi subconsciously took two steps back.

But she still couldn't escape the coquettish voice in her ears, which made her feel like she had goosebumps all over.

"Ugh...there are still people here...please stop..."

"...You don't like it, huh?" The deep male voice was so familiar, yet so frivolous.

"...Oh dear, Young Master Yan... there are still people here..."

"Isn't that more exciting?"

…………

All I could hear were unrestrained flirting sounds.

Siyi couldn't help but recall the scene she had witnessed in the parking lot.

The handsome man knelt down in front of the little girl and gently comforted her.

He gently reached out to wipe away her tears...

But the man before me now—

Was there something wrong with her eyes, or was it all just a passing fancy on his part?

She took a deep breath, feeling as if a huge hammer was hammering at her temples.

What does it taste like?

She couldn't quite put her finger on it; she just felt a dry, astringent feeling in her throat and a tightness in her chest.

The already cramped space felt even more stuffy.

"It's only two minutes, can't you all wait?"

When Siyi realized she had spoken, she knew she couldn't control herself after all. But now that she had spoken, she didn't intend to remain silent any longer. "Even if you can't hold back, wait until the elevator doors open and you get out before you can hold back. There are other people here. This is a public place."

The alluring woman immediately shrank into Jiang Yanhui's arms, her eyes filled with hostility as she looked at Siyi. "Then you can go out. Nobody asked you to stand here and watch."

Why should I leave?

Siyi subconsciously gripped the bag at her side. For some reason, a complex anger welled up in her chest, causing her to lose her usual composure and blurt out, "I was the one who got into this elevator first, so why shouldn't you get out?"

"Why are you being so aggressive? Who do you think you are—"

"She's a top lawyer."

Before the woman could say anything more, Jiang Yan slowly turned around, grabbed the woman's shoulder, and smirked wickedly, "Don't say anything carelessly, or someone might accuse you of something, and don't blame me for not warning you."

"Young Master Yan!"

The woman hadn't expected Jiang Yan to know her, and was momentarily speechless. She could only stomp her foot and whine, "What's so great about a lawyer? Look how annoying she is! I don't care, just make her leave!"

"Do you hate it?" Jiang Yanhui's narrow phoenix eyes seemed to hold a pool of autumn water. With just a slight smile, he exuded indescribable charm. He released the woman in his arms, took a step forward, and reached out to lift Siyi's chin. "Siyi, are you going out?"

Siyi hated his attitude the most. He would touch her chin all the time. What did he take her for?

With a cold expression, she slapped his hand away, her delicate brows furrowing. "Jiang Yanhui, have some self-respect! You can't call her Sisi! Also, I'm asking you, did Yu Chengfeng come with you? Where is he now?"

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, pretending not to understand, her smile becoming even more languid. "What? So you're actually interested in Chengfeng?"

Siyi's face turned pale, and she choked with anger. After a long while, she finally snapped, "Jiang Yanhui, don't think of everyone as filthy as you! Do you think everyone is like you? Do you think you have good taste by changing women every day? In my eyes, you're nothing but vulgar and shameless!"

The words sounded particularly sharp in the confined space, and just as the words fell, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Siyi glared at him fiercely.

Without thinking twice, she reached out and pushed him away, then walked straight out of the elevator.

"Young Master Yan..." As soon as Siyi left, the woman who had been left standing aside immediately clung to her like a limp rag. "That woman really has a death wish, daring to talk to you like that. Why didn't you teach her a lesson? She has no manners at all..."

Women's intuition is always the most accurate. Although this woman knew that she was just Yan Shao's female companion and could be replaced at any time, she clearly sensed that this legendary playboy treated the lawyer very differently.

Which woman wouldn't be jealous?

Especially men like Jiang Yanhui.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the man who had been smiling wickedly suddenly dropped his nonchalant expression, his face gradually darkened, and in the end, even the temperature around him dropped.

He reached out and shoved the woman beside him aside, giving her a cold look. "Did I tell you to talk about her?"

After he finished speaking, he reached up to straighten his collar and stepped out of the elevator.

The woman turned pale at his simple words, but what welled up in her heart was not grievance, but fear.

The way Jiang Yan looked at him just now was completely different from his usual expression.

Those deep eyes seemed to harbor the ferocity of a bloodthirsty leopard; a single glance from them could be fatal.

She shivered violently, and seeing that the person had already walked out of the elevator, she quickly followed.

Siyi originally wanted Lin Piaoyun, but after going up this staircase, she realized that there were more than a dozen VIP rooms here.

She couldn't possibly knock on every door one by one, especially since she couldn't get through to Lin Piaoyun on the phone. Helpless, she could only go to Zheng Muyan first.

They found the reserved private room. Zheng Muyan hadn't arrived yet, but several lawyers they had met in court before had already arrived.

Siyi then realized that all the men had brought female companions, and she felt a slight unease.

"Attorney Ye, come in, come in. Mu Yan should be here soon. Please have a seat." Someone came up and greeted her warmly.

Siyi forced a smile and sat down with the others in the far corner of the sofa.

A moment later, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and Zheng Muyan, dressed in a light gray casual suit, stood elegantly at the door.

Siyi quickly stood up. "Senior brother, you're here."

Zheng Muyan smiled gently, his gaze fixed on Siyi. "Sorry, there was a traffic jam, so I'm a little late."

As he spoke, he walked straight toward Siyi.
