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

"forgotten."

He casually replied, "I see so many women every day, how could I possibly remember them all?"

Siyi knew he was doing it on purpose.

His tone, especially his nonchalant manner, annoyed her. She immediately retorted, "Impossible! You're deliberately trying not to tell me, aren't you? She's my friend. You clearly saw her at the Golden Plaza that day. She also has a younger brother. How could you forget her? If you really forgot her, then why do you remember me?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Siyi regretted them.

That last sentence was far too ambiguous.

She wasn't some naive girl, and given the complicated relationship between the two of them, her heart tightened, and her expression turned somewhat strange.

Jiang Yan glanced back and moved even closer to her, finally forcing her back against the wall.

He reached out and placed his hands on either side of her, a meaningful smile curving his lips. "Yes, why do you think I remembered you the most?"

In the dim light, his unparalleled handsome face was right in front of me.

His hot breath carried a faint smell of alcohol, along with the taste of tobacco on his lips and teeth. In truth, she had never really liked men who smoked.

But for some reason, the two scents mixed together on him didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, why her heart was beating faster and faster, why she had this restless feeling...

"How would I know? Stay away from me!"

She bit her lip hard, the slight pain reminding her to stay calm. Her hands instinctively pushed against his chest, and she stiffly turned her face away. "If you don't know Lin Piaoyun, then what about Yu Chengfeng? I saw Yu Chengfeng bring my friend in with my own eyes!"

"how could I know?"

Jiang Yan shrugged and gave a sarcastic laugh. "Maybe they're doing what they love somewhere. Men and women, aren't they just like that?"

Siyi's face hardened, and she trembled with anger. "You're talking nonsense! Piaoyun isn't that kind of person. Do you think everyone is as despicable as you? If you insult my friend again, I won't let you get away with it!"

"Why won't you let me go?"

"You!" Siyi was furious, but she didn't realize that talking to him was like casting pearls before swine, so she pushed him hard. "Get away!"

He raised an eyebrow mischievously, determined not to budge, "What are you going to do with me if I don't leave?"

"Jiang Yan, you—"

"Siyi!"

A familiar male voice interrupted, and Siyi turned her head in response, and sure enough, she saw Zheng Muyan hurrying over from the other end of the corridor.

Her heart sank slightly. Even though there was nothing between her and Jiang Yanhui, she felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed, as if she had been caught in bed with someone else.

Zheng Muyan's expression, however, was not so good.

His gaze swept over Jiang Yan Hui's face before finally settling on Si Yi.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms without saying a word. "Are you alright?"

Siyi shook her head. "It's okay, let's go."

Zheng Muyan glanced at Jiang Yanhui, who was standing to the side and whose expression was also not very good.

The two men's gazes collided in the air, instantly sparking a fierce exchange.

He narrowed his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of warning, "Jiang Yanhui, this is the second time. I'm telling you, stay away from Siyi."

Jiang Yan chuckled softly, her laughter clearly carrying a hint of contempt. "You're warning me? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm nobody, but I have the right to warn you. I've said it before, Siyi is mine—"

Before Zheng Muyan could even declare his intentions, Jiang Yan interrupted him with a cold laugh, "Is the big lawyer about to say she's your girlfriend again? A man as naive as you is really something."

Zheng Muyan's eyes darkened; how could he not realize that his words were a blatant provocation?

I couldn't stand him to begin with. Not only did he keep bothering Siyi, but now he dares to be so shameless.

Forgetting his usual debonair manner, he retorted, "Am I naive? That's still much better than a scoundrel like you."

"Fuck you, who the hell do you think you are, calling someone a hooligan? Huh?!"

Jiang Yan was just leaning lazily against the wall, and before she could even speak, a group of people appeared behind her, all of them well-dressed playboys.

Apparently, they heard Zheng Muyan's last words as soon as the door opened, and immediately someone stepped forward, looking at Zheng Muyan with an arrogant expression—

"You little brat, I remember you. It was you last time too. Are you tired of living? Don't you even know whose territory this is? You're just a lawyer. Even if the police come, they'll have to watch their noses at Young Master Yan. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to Young Master Yan like that!"

Siyi's eyelids twitched heavily.

She had actually seen this person before. The last time she went to Jinzuo because of Piaoyun, he had gone back with Jiang Yan along with Yu Chengfeng and his group, but she didn't remember his name.

She knew that this person wasn't just being arrogant; she had witnessed their methods firsthand.

Besides, this is indeed their territory, and my senior brother will definitely suffer losses if he goes alone.

Without thinking twice, she grabbed Zheng Muyan's sleeve, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Senior brother, let's go first. Why bother with these people..."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Zheng Muyan held her hand down, gently kneading it in his palm, which made Siyi's heart tremble slightly.

She was naturally a little uncomfortable with the two of them being so intimate in front of so many people.

But at this moment, she couldn't push him away too obviously, so she could only let him hold her hand.

When he looked up, he saw a pair of sharp eyes staring intently at him from the crowd opposite him.

Those deep eyes gleamed with a light that was far too complex and difficult to discern.

For no apparent reason, her heart sank, and she didn't know why, but she felt a sense of utter confusion and bewilderment.

"Brother, I..."

She instinctively looked away, and at the same time struggled with her hand, "We..."

"do not be afraid."

Zheng Muyan, however, smiled openly and honestly, still holding her hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

He showed no sign of panic or fear, and even his tone was completely composed as he spoke. "So, the arrogant Young Master Yan you all speak of is nothing but a coward, hiding behind a bunch of people and having them bluff for him. Where is this place? Is this your territory? Are you planning to kill me or what today?"
