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

Jiang Yan then realized that he had been tense the whole time. He hadn't even hung his coat on the hanger in time. He didn't know how to express his emotions, so even the forced smile he managed was stiff. "No, baby, I'm really not unhappy. I'm just... so happy. I'm a little overwhelmed."

Siyi tilted her head and looked at him. "Really?"

"Of course." He sighed and sat down next to Siyi. "Wife, how could I not be happy? I'm just too happy, and I'm also afraid that I won't be able to take good care of you."

He took her bowl of porridge and gently rubbed it against his cheek, the deep affection between them unspoken. Siyi gently squeezed, her palm resting on his slightly warm skin, and said softly, "It's okay...it's not my first time."

The words "not the first time" dimmed Jiang Yan's eyes slightly. He tightened his grip on her hand a little more before finally saying, "It's precisely because it's not the first time that I feel even more guilty. Baby, when you were pregnant the first time, I didn't take care of you at all and made you suffer so much. I'm so sorry. That's why I'm so flustered this time. I'm so afraid I won't do a good job. Last time in America, you asked me what I said to your father. Actually, I just promised him that I would take meticulous care of you and make you the happiest woman in the world. Baby, I'm really afraid I won't do a good job. I've never tried taking care of someone before."

So that's what I was talking about that time I secretly spoke with my father, and how he acted all mysterious afterward?

Siyi chuckled. "Silly boy, having you by my side is the best thing for me." She paused, then subtly changed the subject. "So, is it a boy or a girl?"

Jiang Yan seemed to think about it very seriously, and her smile changed from stiff to natural as she said softly, "Actually, I'll love any child you give birth to, whether it's a boy or a girl. But if I really have to choose, a boy would be better."

"Do you also favor boys over girls?" Siyi frowned.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly in her deep eyes, "Of course not, I just think that if we have more boys in our family, they can take better care of my sister and you, our mother. Of course, most importantly, I think one little princess is enough for our family."

Thinking of Tiantian, Siyi couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Such a good child, born with such a defect, so they always gave her more love and care. She lowered her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, "Have you been learning sign language these days?"

Jiang Yan nodded back, "I even told her a story last night. Don't worry, our father-daughter relationship is very harmonious."

****

Because of the sudden pregnancy, the wedding naturally had to be postponed. Siyi didn't care; the wedding was just a formality. She was already his wife, a fact that would never change in this lifetime! She felt very happy now. Jiang Yan was worried that Siyi would suffer too much, so for the first three months she was practically bedridden and she almost wanted to bring the best obstetricians and gynecologists in City A to her home to help with her pregnancy.

When Siyi was seven or eight months pregnant, her belly was getting bigger and bigger. She didn't gain much weight, but her tastes became more and more savory. Naturally, the nutritious meals that Jiang Yanhui made every day could no longer satisfy her.

She wanted to eat spicy and salty food, but Jiang Yan Hui wouldn't let her touch any of those things, and she didn't seem to have any chance to "break the rules."

Dinner was always cooked by Jiang Yanhui herself at home, with ingredients transported from a farm in the countryside. Lunch was prepared by a nutritionist who stayed at the house. Jiang Yanhui personally gave the order, and everyone in the villa was watching Siyi. Even if she wanted to sneak a bite, there was nowhere for her to eat. Even when Jiang Yanhui wasn't home, Siyi still couldn't relax.

Once, Siyi really craved the duck heads sold in Shaxian County. She thought about them for a whole week, even dreaming about them at night. But she knew Jiang Yanhui would never allow her to eat such things. In the end, she had no choice but to call Xia Ran when Jiang Yanhui was not around. However, Xia Ran was just as unyielding, speaking righteously, "Siyi, it's not that I don't want to help you. Although I'm a forensic doctor, I still have the most basic medical knowledge. You definitely can't eat that kind of thing in your condition. It's not good for your nutrition. Besides, your husband has already told me. I don't want to cause trouble."

“Xia Ran…”

"I have to go to work now; there are still corpses waiting for me to examine."

"...Xia Ran, you're disgusting..."

"Just remember this. At worst, I'll make you a truckload of duck heads after you give birth."

.........

Under such prolonged high pressure, Siyi inexplicably developed an unprecedented fascination with the duck heads from Shaxian County.

This proves the saying: what you can't have is always the best!

At that moment, in Siyi's mind, she felt that the Shaxian duck head was simply a heavenly delicacy, and she vowed that she, Ye Siyi, must eat a few!

So that day, taking advantage of Jiang Yan's unavoidable dinner party, she originally thought of taking Bei Bei along. But then she thought that Bei Bei was completely on his father's side now and wouldn't help her at all. Besides, he wasn't good with words and might betray her later. So in the end, she took Tian Tian with her. Before leaving, she lied and coaxed, "Tian Tian, ​​Mommy will take you out to eat something delicious today, okay?"

Tian Tian blinked her big eyes, looking a little puzzled, and made a few gestures with her hands. "Mom, aren't there lots of delicious things at home? Yesterday, Mom said she wanted to eat ice cream, and Dad specially allowed Mom to have a few bites."

Ice cream? Even ten ice creams can't win back her enthusiasm now; all she wants is to eat duck heads!

"Let's go!" She shoved her coat into her daughter's hand and smiled ingratiatingly. "There are so many delicious things in this world. Besides ice cream, Mom has some other really good things to take you to try. Hurry up and let's go."

Poor Tian Tian didn't actually want to go out. She still had two paintings to finish today, but her greedy mother dragged her out the door, and she couldn't even protest.

They lived in the most upscale villa area, and naturally, there was no way that small, rural town like Sha County could appear around them. Siyi was also afraid that her family would gossip and tell Jiang Yan, so she took the car keys and drove off with her daughter.

Driving with such a big belly was a bit tiring, but thankfully she arrived at her destination safely. She had searched online for a long time before finding this place; it was very secluded, and she believed that most people wouldn't find it.

Just smelling the hot, spicy aroma made Siyi feel incredibly hungry. She pulled her daughter to a secluded corner, rolled up her sleeves, and ordered five duck heads and a glass of juice.

Seeing this, Tiantian quickly shook her head, "Mommy, you can't drink juice. Daddy said you can't drink any colored drinks. You can only drink milk." Then, looking at the duck head covered in chili peppers, her little brows furrowed even more. "Mommy, how can you eat this? No, I'm going to tell Daddy..."

Damn Jiang Yanhui!

What exactly did he do to the two children? Why is everyone siding with him now?

Siyi grabbed her daughter and pretended to sternly say, "Ye Mengtian, whose daughter are you? If you dare to tell anyone, I'll never speak to you again!"

Tian Tian looked very aggrieved. Her big eyes blinked. She had probably never been scolded like this by Si Yi before. Her eyes were a little red, but she still tugged at her little finger. Her bright eyes seemed to be saying, "...But, Daddy said you can't eat these things."

Siyi didn't care about anything else. Right now, the plate of duck heads in front of her was the biggest temptation. She would do anything to it, let alone scare her daughter, whom she had always cherished like a precious treasure. She had to strike first, otherwise, when Jiang Yan came back, she probably wouldn't be able to eat any!

"Sit down, baby, let Mommy have one, okay? You absolutely can't tell Daddy." Siyi was basically using threats and inducements. "Look, Mommy knows you really like Mr. Xiao from your school who teaches you to draw, but Daddy thinks that male teacher isn't suitable for you, so he hasn't arranged one for you. Starting next week, Mommy will invite Mr. Xiao to our house. How does that sound?"

Jiang Yan Hui disagreed with having Mr. Xiao teach her daughter to paint because she felt he was too young and lacked experience. However, Si Yi had learned that Mr. Xiao was a recent college graduate who had skipped three grades in school due to his exceptional academic performance. He was only eighteen years old. People called him "teacher" because painting was his hobby, and he had been tutoring. His painting style was unique, which Si Yi quite admired. Jiang Yan Hui, however, believed her daughter should pursue a more mature and stable path and didn't believe someone so young could produce good students, so she decisively rejected the idea. Tian Tian was sullen for a few days because of this, but being sensible, she didn't express her unhappiness. Of course, Si Yi, as her mother, noticed everything clearly.

Sure enough, as soon as this trump card was played, she saw an expectant glint in her daughter's eyes.

She smiled faintly, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to start eating. She had just eaten half a duck head, and it was so spicy that she hissed and gasped for breath. But it was so refreshing. She then picked up the juice next to her and drank it down in big gulps. Just as she was about to continue, Tian Tian suddenly looked out the window and pointed. Si Yi looked up and saw a black Bentley parked in front of the small Shaxian restaurant.
