Jiang Yanhui buttoned up his clothes with a black line on his face. Although he did think that way just now, he didn't say it out loud. Moreover, he didn't seem to completely disagree. He just felt that the words were not quite appropriate to describe him!

That's for sure. How could he possibly be someone who needs to learn from others' strengths to make up for his own weaknesses?!

“Children don’t lie, you know?” He stood up, ignoring Siyi’s probing gaze with a half-smile, and pretended to educate his son: “I didn’t say that just now, and what I said was all true. I thought you didn’t believe me, so I showed it to you, but you didn’t say you didn’t want to see it. How could you lie to your mother like that?”

"I didn't!" Beibei sniffled and snorted. "I didn't want to see it in the first place!"

Jiang Yan was speechless, completely stumped. The usually decisive and efficient CEO Jiang was now rendered speechless by her son's words, leaving Si Yi both amused and exasperated.

"Jiang Yanhui, you're so naive!" she said, then pulled Beibei toward Ye Zhenghao's room.

Jiang Yan was immediately labeled "childish," and before she could even refute it, the mother and son had already swaggered away.

He felt so uncomfortable, like he was holding his breath in his throat!

Damn it, he's Jiang Yan Hui, and he's being called naive? He even got tricked by his own son!

He was so angry that he was about to explode when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from the American Chamber of Commerce. Thinking that it must be related to Tian Tian, ​​Jiang Yan answered it without saying a word.

"I haven't failed you. Your daughter is much better now. When can we take her back?" Although he was of mixed race, because he was born and raised in the United States, his Mandarin always sounded a little off. Yet, this man always preferred to speak Mandarin when communicating with Jiang Yan, claiming it was to improve his pronunciation because he had a grand ambition—

He thought he could clear up all the cases in three months, and then he would come to City A, supposedly to see his "goddess".

Of course, Jiang Yanhui recognized this "goddess"—it was Xia Ran. However, he was also well aware that Xia Ran and Lu Fengcheng had a close relationship over the years; he had seen them coming and going several times. How could that kid Shang Zhancheng possibly outmaneuver that cunning Lu Fengcheng?

"My flight won't be until tonight at the earliest. You need to take good care of Tiantian for me. If anything happens to her, don't even think about coming to City A." Since the illness has already been cured, this man, who had just suffered a lot of humiliation, could now take it out on the innocent Shang Zhancheng on the other side of the ocean. He was more than happy to do something like kicking someone after they've served their purpose, at least to make him nervous.

Sure enough, Shang Zhancheng on the other end of the phone immediately cried out, "No way? Yan Hui, are you kicking me while I'm at it?" Yan's voice was trembling with embarrassment.

"Think whatever you want, but just remember this: my daughter, Jiang Yanhui, must feel at home. Find the best nurses to take care of her. Money is no object. If the nurses can't take good care of her, I don't mind if you step in yourself."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving the man on the other end a chance to complain.

After finding someone to vent his anger on and shifting his emotions, the childish CEO Jiang suddenly felt less resentful. Seeing that it was almost time, he asked Liu Qi to bring up a set of clothes, then gave some instructions about the work in City A before going to Ye Zhenghao's room to have lunch with the mother and son.

Ye Zhenghao is probably not in his room. He has been taking care of Siyi in City B these past few days. The news in the media has been mostly suppressed, but they are still staying in a hotel for the time being, of course, for safety reasons.

Beibei wasn't in the room either; only Siyi was tidying her clothes. When she saw Jiang Yan come in, she asked him in surprise, "How did you get in?" Did he also have a room key?

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, held up the room key in her hand, and waved it at Siyi, "Baby, it's just a room key, it's easy for me to get my hands on it."

In fact, the hotel owner had business dealings with Jiang Yanhui. All he had to do was tell the owner that his woman and child were staying in the room and ask for a room key, which was naturally no problem.

Siyi glared at Jiang Yanhui, who was beaming with smugness, with some annoyance. Suddenly, she remembered the scene she had just witnessed at the door. Her lips twitched involuntarily, and she wanted to laugh, but she held it back tightly.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Yan strode forward, reached out and hugged her slender waist, pressing his strong chest against her soft chest, dangerously close. "What are you laughing at? Hmm?"

"...No, it's nothing."

—My uncle was proving to me that he was the most powerful man in the world, and that my other uncle was his defeated opponent.

He claimed to have eight-pack abs, but I didn't even want to look. He insisted on taking off his clothes to show me!

Eight-pack abs...

That clear, childlike voice kept echoing in her mind, and Siyi was about to burst into tears. It was alright if she hadn't seen Jiang Yan, but as soon as she saw him, she couldn't help but recall that scene from earlier...

She really didn't know that Jiang Yan Hui, who was always so strong, domineering and arrogant, would have such a childish and cute side.

"Damn it!" Although Siyi didn't say anything, her face was flushed red, clearly showing that she wanted to laugh but dared not. Jiang Yanhui was a smart woman, and naturally realized something at this moment. She cursed under her breath, "Are you making fun of me? Ye, Si, Yi! Don't laugh!"

His words only made things worse. Siyi realized her composure had been completely shattered, and she finally burst into laughter, "...I...I really can't hold it in anymore...haha...haha..."

"Stop laughing! Damn it, you're still laughing? If you laugh again, I'll throw you on the bed right now and make sure you can't laugh anymore, you believe me?"

…………

"Still laughing? If you laugh again, I'll get serious!"

"I'm not laughing anymore... I'm not laughing anymore..." If she really angered him, he might actually do something to her. Siyi had laughed enough and wisely chose to shut up. She covered her face with her hands, only revealing her bright eyes. Her voice came through the back of her hands, muffled, "I'm not laughing anymore. Don't hug me like this. I'm hungry. Let's go find my older brother and Beibei to eat together."

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle being alone with him like this any longer. But honestly, it seemed like she hadn't laughed so freely in years. The dark clouds that had been weighing on her heart for so long finally dissipated. For the first time in five years, she felt truly happy to have him standing beside her.

"Yan Hui." She lowered her hand, her clear voice softly escaping her lips as she said earnestly, "Thank you."

Thank you for staying by my side all these years. Thank you for being so good to me. Thank you for giving me the courage to face the past. And thank you for cherishing Ye Siyi in your heart.

Her change of topic was so sudden that Jiang Yan was a little caught off guard and looked at her, confused, asking, "Thank me for what?"

"It's nothing." There was no need to spell it out. Siyi smiled slightly, lowered her hand and took his large hand in hers. "Let's go downstairs to eat."

It was rare to see her so obedient, calling her Yan Hui on her own initiative and even taking her hand. Jiang Yan Hui was already completely smitten, so she naturally wouldn't break the scene and let her lead her downstairs.

Because Ye Zhenghao had led Beibei downstairs first, Siyi assumed they were playing in the hotel garden again. However, as soon as they went downstairs, they saw a short-haired woman standing opposite Ye Zhenghao. From the distance, Siyi could only see the woman's back; she was about the same height as Siyi. The back seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen her before. The woman appeared to be arguing with Ye Zhenghao, and they seemed to be talking about something. Ye Zhenghao's expression was already showing impatience, his brows furrowed with anxiety, yet he remained standing motionless in front of the woman—

Just from this scene, Siyi could already conclude that the woman who argued with Ye Zhenghao must be the woman in her brother's heart.

What kind of person is Ye Zhenghao?

He rarely gets close to women, and his companions are mostly work colleagues. Moreover, he is not the type to endure impatience. Yet, he is standing there talking to a woman for so long, which clearly indicates that this woman holds a high place in his heart.

Siyi was pondering to herself, completely unaware that when Jiang Yanhui, who was standing next to her, saw that figure, her eyes flickered slightly. Siyi couldn't recognize that it was Nan Qingshu's back, but how could Jiang Yanhui not recognize it?

How did Qing Shu manage to follow me all the way from City A to City B?

He knew that something had happened to the Nan family recently. Although Nan Qingshu's father used to have a close relationship with Lin Zhenbiao, he had gotten back on the right track in recent years and his business was quite successful. The Nan family was now a prominent family in City A. However, for some reason, just a few days ago, Nan Qingshu's father was suddenly found to have committed embezzlement and bribery. Jiang Yanhui didn't quite understand the ins and outs of the whole matter, and he had been busy with his own affairs these past few days, so he didn't have time to call and ask Qingshu. Unexpectedly, he saw her here.

Looking at her stiff and tense back, having known each other for so many years, Jiang Yanhui could more or less guess what was going on. This girl must have come for her father's matter, and she guessed that Uncle Nan's case was related to Ye Zhenghao.

"Yan Hui, where's Bei Bei? Why isn't he with my older brother? Have you seen him?" Si Yi suddenly grabbed Jiang Yan Hui's hand and shook it hard, her voice filled with panic. The two looked around, and the vast garden stretched out before them, but Bei Bei was nowhere to be seen.
