Siyi admitted that she really didn't have any "fake kindness" because she knew that she wasn't doing it for Yingrui. She was so nervous that she wanted to call for her because of Jiang Yan!

If something were to really happen to Ying's father, Jiang Yan Hui would definitely be held responsible. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Yan Hui was only so frank with the Ying family for her own sake, and she could clearly sense that his lack of respect for the Ying family was simply to help her get revenge.

She had completely felt his sincerity, so she was even less likely to let him have any reservations.

“Miss Ying, this is not the time to be angry with me. Your father’s condition is very bad. Are you going to yell at me here and leave him lying there like this without giving him timely medical attention?” She reached out her hand expressionlessly. Even if Ying Rui was being rude to her now, she didn’t want to lower herself to her level. After all, a life was at stake. “Give me back my phone!”

"Do you think I'll appreciate your pretense of kindness? I don't need you to call me. I have my own phone and I can make the call myself. Leave right now. I don't want to see you!" Little did she know, Siyi's constant concessions only made Yingrui feel that Siyi was watching her like a clown, losing miserably, with such an arrogant attitude. How could she accept that?

Ying Rui gripped the phone tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "I want you to remember forever that it was your arrogance that caused my father to be like this! And whatever happens to him, you'll never be able to have anything to do with him again!"

She tossed Siyi's phone to the ground with a flick of her wrist. The phone hit the marble floor and shattered into pieces with a loud crack.

Siyi opened her mouth, looking at the new phone she had just bought not long ago with a headache. She really felt a little heartache...

All of this happened within a minute. Jiang Yan, who had been standing next to Siyi, couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. She rushed forward, bent down and pulled up Ying's father, who had fainted on the ground, and shouted towards the restaurant entrance, "Liu Qi!"

Hearing the commotion inside, Liu Qi, who was guarding the door, rushed in. Jiang Yan replied, "Hurry up and bring the car over. I've called the hospital, hurry!"

Liu Qi knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the situation. He responded and ran out of the restaurant. A little while later, he drove the car over, and together with Jiang Yan, they helped Ying's father into the car.

"You're all in good spirits." Jiang Yan told Liu Qi to drive off first, then glanced at Ying Rui and her mother before saying to them, "You two go to the hospital with Liu Qi too. I'll be there later."

At this moment, Ying's mother was completely flustered and didn't care about anything else. She got into the car while shedding tears.

Ying Rui stood by the car door, holding onto the door handle with one hand, but still refused to get in. "You're just going to take us to the hospital like this, and then the whole thing is over, right?"

Of course she wouldn't be willing to accept that. If she got on the bus and said goodbye to Jiang Yan for good, then what would all those years of effort and all that she had done amount to?

Besides, Dad fainted from anger because of his blunt words. No matter what, how can he not take any responsibility at all?

Jiang Yanhui knew exactly what Ying Rui was thinking. He stood in front of Siyi, his face grim, and looked coldly at Ying Rui. "Don't worry, I won't shirk my responsibility. If something really happens to your father, I know I'm responsible. So now you need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible, do you hear me?"

Those last few words clearly carried a well-placed warning.

Ying Rui naturally hoped that Jiang Yan would leave with her, but she knew it was unlikely. However, since he had already put it this way, if she said anything more, all the pretense she had put on would have been meaningless.

She has endured it all these years, and now it's just a matter of enduring a little more. She will never give up on Jiang Yanhui!

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital." After saying this, Ying Rui opened the car door, but before getting in, she glanced at Si Yi, who had been standing silently behind Jiang Yan.

Siyi happened to look up, and their eyes met. Before she could look away, they bumped into each other.

Humiliation, resentment, unwillingness, and pain.

These are the emotions that Siyi saw on Yingrui's face and in her eyes.

She sighed inwardly. In fact, she was several years older than Ying Rui and subconsciously didn't want to argue with her too much. Of course, before, she was convinced that Ying Rui was the one who did it, so she let Jiang Yan bring her here and watched him say those words to the Ying family for her sake.

She admitted that she was truly happy to have someone who valued and treated her so well. All her previous grievances and resentments vanished, and at this moment, her heart felt as if it had been caressed by a spring breeze, incredibly soft.

However, it seems that she is building her happiness on the suffering of others, which is not what she wants to see.

Ying Rui, of course, had no idea what Si Yi was thinking, and her gaze toward Si Yi gradually turned cold.

"It must feel good to be protected by him. I know you are a winner now and you must be feeling smug. But Ye Siyi, let me tell you, you pushed all the blame onto me and even hurt my dad like this. You are the worst person!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and got into the car.

Siyi stood there silently until the car had driven far away, then she smiled gently at Jiang Yanhui with a composed expression. She reached out and slowly wrapped her arms around his strong waist, finally embracing him completely. She buried her face in his chest, inhaling his pleasant cologne and familiar scent, listening to his strong heartbeat, and feeling all the tenderness he gave her.

That alone is enough to make me feel content and at peace; nothing else matters anymore.

Jiang Yan was actually quite surprised that she would take the initiative to hug him; for him, this was more precious than gold falling from the sky. For a moment, his whole body stiffened, and it wasn't until a moment later that he reacted and reached out to hug her back.

"I'm sorry, baby." He spoke first. With a beauty in his arms, he was actually enjoying the moment, but he was blind and had other things to deal with. He sighed softly, leaned down slightly and nibbled on her sensitive earlobe, his voice gentle as water: "I didn't mean to make things this way. I was probably too hasty, but at the time I only knew that I couldn't let you continue to misunderstand me. I had to explain everything clearly. I felt that was the most effective way."

And as it turned out, although his actions caused some harm to the Ying family, they were a success for the woman who was lying quietly and obediently in his arms like a kitten!

It had been far too long since she had allowed him to hold her so quietly, and she had held him back. This was the scene he had been longing for all along, and now he could finally have his wish fulfilled. So what if he, Jiang Yan, was willing to overturn the world for Ye Siyi?

“I admit it’s very effective, but it doesn’t seem to fit your usual style, Mr. Jiang.” Siyi nuzzled her face against his chest, inhaling his unique scent with longing. At this moment, all her previous worries and nightmares seemed to have drifted away. She said softly, “Aren’t you offending the Ying family by doing this? If something really happens to Ying Rui’s father, I’ll be worried too.”

"It'll be okay."

"Are you so sure?" Hearing his unusually confident voice, Siyi lifted her head from his embrace and wrinkled her nose. "He looks really unwell. I wonder if he has some kind of heart condition or something. If he does, it will definitely cause serious problems."

"Honey, don't worry about these things, leave them to me." Jiang Yan Hui showed no concern whatsoever, but smiled gently. "He'll be fine, but I need to go to the hospital now. Shall I take you home first?"

Siyi thought that there was no point in going to the hospital with her. Ying Rui would definitely lose her composure when she saw her. Anyway, she already knew what she needed to know. So, just like he said, she would leave the rest to him. She was happy to be the little woman he protected.

"Go ahead." Siyi released her arms from his waist. "I can go back by myself. You don't need to see me off."

Jiang Yan instantly grabbed Si Yi's hand, then lifted it slightly, making her wrap her arms around his waist again. His peach blossom eyes held a captivating look, and he pressed his forehead against hers, his breath hot and intimate. "Why did you let go so quickly? Si Si, you hugged me yourself this time, so you can't let go again, understand? The past is in the past. From today onwards, I will protect you and won't let you suffer even the slightest harm. Trust me, okay?"

Siyi felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Those who didn't know her well assumed she was a capable career woman, someone who rarely showed much emotion. They assumed that even if she heard sweet words, she wouldn't display any girlish shyness. But Siyi wasn't like that. Five years ago, her shyness and charm were all because of this man. Five years later, even though she had become more mature, in his presence, she could still blush and her heart flutter at just a few words or gestures from him.

"……I trust you."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you, speak louder." How rare must it be for this woman to have such a captivating expression? Her face was flushed, her eyes darting around, yet she was so obedient. How could Jiang Yan not like her? She couldn't help but want to tease her. "Hmm? Baby, what did you just say?"
