Jiang Yan had already guessed when she saw Ye Zhenghao that she must have returned to City A. She didn't expect her to suddenly say these things to her. Of course, she knew that there would be more to come. She just hummed and gestured for her to continue.

Siyi quickly closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously clenching. After a moment, she spoke softly, "Five years ago, when I left City A, I thought I would never go back. Three years ago, I happened to see your marriage news in the news. Actually, at that time, I thought that no matter what, I would never go back to City A. So, whether you got married or not, I never cared. There were so many ties between us; to untangle them, to sever them, had already exhausted me." She paused, her voice growing even darker, "If a person's feelings are like a bowl of water, used a little and it's gone, then I must admit that my bowl of water is almost empty. But five years later, we still met. I've never regretted giving birth to Beibei and Tiantian, but I don't want them to be illegitimate children. I'd rather they have no father. That's why I've always been unwilling to tell them that you are their biological father. I admit that sometimes I am indeed very selfish, but everything I've done is for the children."

She had tried desperately to avoid it, but fate had still decided their destinies.

If she truly couldn't defy fate, she didn't want to leave in such a wretched state.

Siyi reached out again and handed the necklace to him, looking directly into Jiang Yan's eyes. "Maybe this world is just that small, so after all the twists and turns, I was able to meet you again, and even though I went to City A, I was able to run into your wife."

At first, Jiang Yan thought she was going to talk to him, but she suddenly switched to the topic of "wife." The change was so fast that he was a little confused and helpless. "What wife?"

In his mind, Ying Rui was never his wife. They didn't even have the same title, so he always thought he was single. Where did this wife come from?

But to Siyi, his bewildered expression was nothing but a pretense. She had been suppressing her anger, only wanting to have a proper talk with him. After so many years of ups and downs, she really didn't have the energy to play that cat-and-mouse game with him anymore. But what did he mean by this?

Desperately denying it?!

Siyi took a deep breath and simply shoved the necklace into his hand, saying, "Jiang Yanhui, I don't want to argue with you today, nor do I want to play the silent treatment game. We're not children anymore. I admit I'm upset, and I'm a woman after all. If you can't do this, don't lie to me so easily. I've always made the issue of the children very clear. I don't object to you acknowledging them; if they're willing, you can spend time with them occasionally. Besides, they now know you're their biological father, so please stop lying, okay? Don't treat me like a fool! I hate being lied to!"

Jiang Yan looked at the suppressed anger between her brows and sensed something was wrong, but he was still a little confused. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment before narrowing his alluring peach blossom eyes and tentatively asking, "What are you talking about? Have you seen someone? Is it related to this necklace?"

“Yes, I’ve seen her!” Siyi smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “She’s very beautiful and kind, but she was wearing a necklace that was exactly the same as mine. She told me that it was a gift from her husband, a one-of-a-kind necklace in the world. She was beaming with happiness. She told me that her husband is a big shot in City A, and his name is Jiang Yan Hui.”

Siyi finished speaking in one breath, pointed at the necklace in Jiang Yanhui's hand, and said sarcastically, "Jiang Yanhui, I remember you said the same thing to me back then. I'm not asking you to do anything for me, but I beg you, don't joke around with me! I hate being deceived. If you want to use your unique self to do something like having multiple women, I advise you to give up. There are no secrets in this world."

Jiang Yan was initially confused by her rapid-fire words, but he had already processed them in five seconds.

She must have run into Ying Rui in City A.

Then the two of them should have spoken, but how could Ying Rui possibly have an identical necklace?

He had gone to great lengths to acquire this necklace, and he was certain that it was the only one of its kind in the world, and there was absolutely no way it could be a fake.

And Ying Rui actually told her that her husband was Jiang Yan Hui?

Jiang Yan's heart sank, and her expression changed abruptly. What exactly was going on with Ying Rui?

"Sisi, I really don't know what happened." Let's be honest. "But believe me, I'm really not married."

Siyi's lips curled into a cold smile. She merely glanced at him, her eyes filled with an indescribable strangeness. "If you want others to believe in you, you should also do things that are worthy of their belief. What do you look like now? Your backyard is on fire, and you expect God to send a torrential downpour to put it out for you? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Jiang Yan didn't blame her for her cold words at all; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

She wouldn't say to herself, with a look of utter despair, "Let's call it quits."

She's clearly angry right now. Her anger means she still cares about him. As long as she still cares about him, she'll come back sooner or later.

"Honey, my house doesn't have a backyard."

This description really left him speechless. "I only have one wife in my family, but she's always angry with me and refuses to move in. There's nothing I can do about it."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've made myself clear. Don't do anything foolish like this again."

Siyi took two steps back, her gaze coldly fixed on him. "The former Young Master Yan was a playboy who could flirt with a thousand women without ever getting attached. But unfortunately, I'm not that kind of flower. So if you want to play around with a woman, go pick someone else. With your current power, President Jiang, countless women would flock to you with a mere snap of your fingers. But let me give you a piece of advice, President Jiang: your wife at home is also a good woman, so don't go too far!"

"I'm entrusting Tian Tian's matter to you. After all, you are her father, and what I said still holds true. But I'll only say this once: I don't want your wife to come knocking on our door saying I'm a mistress and my child is illegitimate. If you can't do these things, you should stay away from us."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Jiang Yan chased after her and grabbed her hand at the door of the ward. "Sisi."

"Stop pulling and tugging." Siyi struggled but couldn't break free. "Aren't your people almost here? Let me go, I need to go in and see Tiantian."

Jiang Yan checked the time and realized it was almost time. He knew he would definitely go with her. Judging from the woman's expression, she wouldn't come with him. He thought he didn't have enough time to explain everything to her, but if he didn't make things clear, she would definitely overthink things while he was away.

"Sisi, listen to me, I really am not married." Jiang Yan frowned. She never thought that something so simple would be so difficult to explain, especially to this stubborn woman. "I don't know how to explain this to you, but please believe me just this once, okay? You said before that you went to City A, so I think you subconsciously believe me. I don't know what happened with this necklace. Give me some information, and I'll give you an answer. But I really am not married. I'm reiterating this one last time, I'm not married! If you still don't believe me, wait for me to come back, wait for Tiantian to recover, and I'll take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Then you'll know whether I'm married or not."

"Don't overthink it. I'm telling you this not because I'm jealous, but because I don't want my child to be affected by your wife in the future. Do you understand?" Siyi pushed his hand away. "Mr. Jiang, it's almost time. Please let go. I need to go in and see my daughter again."

"Okay." Jiang Yan knew this woman's temper; saying too much now would be pointless, and she wouldn't believe him anyway. But to be honest, he was already very surprised that she had brought this up today, so he didn't waste any more time saying anything. He turned around and threw the necklace in his hand into the trash can next to him.

Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Yan glanced at her, her thin lips pressed tightly together. "Since you don't like it, then throw it away. I'll give you a new one. As I, Jiang Yan, said, anything I give you is absolutely unique. This was my oversight, I'm sorry."

He usually had a roguish air about him. Although he had matured a lot in the past five years, Siyi knew best that Jiang Yanhui was still the same Jiang Yanhui in front of her. But at this moment, his words were tinged with a kind of persistence. It would be a lie to say that she felt nothing at all. But right now, she didn't want to say anything more and went straight into the ward.

Jiang Yan turned around and watched Si Yi walk into the ward with a somber expression before taking out her phone and making a call.

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with an overwhelming joy: "Yan is back."
