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

Chapter 39 Baby, did you remember my number this time?

After finishing her work, Siyi raised her wrist to check the time; it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

She recalled that she had been busy since morning until now without a moment's rest.

Lunchtime had passed, but she was still starving.

She stood up, stretched, and then went to take out the contract she had drafted that morning.

Then I looked it over again to make sure there were no problems, and went into the printing room to reprint a copy.

Finally, he bent down and signed his name on both documents, then put them in his bag.

When she got off work, she called Jiang Yan back and handed him the contract.

We can get him to sign it then, and each of us can take a copy.

"Hey, Attorney Ye, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from behind. Siyi turned around and saw the intern lawyer from the firm who was following her. She asked with a smile, "Attorney Ye, I noticed you haven't left the office, so I didn't dare to bother you earlier. Haven't you eaten yet? Would you like me to go buy you something?"

"No need, I'm planning to go out anyway, I can just go out and buy something to eat myself, you go ahead and do your work."

The intern lawyer nodded and walked away.

As Siyi reached the elevator, her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Lin Piaoyun, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time. A thought struck Siyi, and she immediately answered the phone.

"Floating Clouds?"

"Siyi, it's me."

Lin Piaoyun seemed to be outside. Siyi heard the sound of a car in the background of her phone, and sure enough, she heard her say, "Are you busy right now? I'd like to ask you to meet up."

Siyi thought she had finished her work and would have some free time in the afternoon. "I have time. I've been calling you these past few days. Why has your phone been off?"

Lin Piaoyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's talk when we meet. We'll wait for you at our usual restaurant."

Siyi hung up the phone and rushed to the place she had arranged to meet Lin Piaoyun.

Sure enough, I found her sitting by the window with a glass of water in front of her. She was unconsciously fiddling with the glass, looking at the scenery outside the window with her face turned to the side. I didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked forlorn.

She was beautiful, but she carried an indescribable melancholy, always giving the impression that she harbored many unspoken worries.

At that moment, Siyi could see from afar that her two delicate eyebrows were unconsciously furrowed, and there was an indescribable sadness between her brows and eyes.

Recalling what she had seen in the parking lot last time, Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over.

"Piaoyun, there was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm a little late. Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" As soon as she sat down, the waiter came over with the menu. Siyi thought that she hadn't eaten since she hadn't eaten, so she ordered a set meal.

"No, I just arrived."

Lin Piaoyun only ordered a cup of coffee. As soon as the waiter left, she said, "I've been a bit busy lately, so... so I haven't been able to contact you. Siyi, don't be angry."

Siyi was such a perceptive person; although Lin Piaoyun's excuse sounded plausible, her darting eyes betrayed her true intentions.

“Piaoyun, you know me. I’ve always considered you my best sister. If anything happens to you, I will never abandon you.” She reached out and pressed Lin Piaoyun’s hand, only to find that it was ice-cold. “Piaoyun, is something wrong? Tell me honestly, has someone bullied you?”

Unexpectedly, Lin Piaoyun suddenly withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "No, no one bullied me. Siyi, don't think too much. I asked you out today to tell you some good news."

"what news?"

My younger brother is going abroad to study.

Siyi frowned immediately. "What? Qizheng is going abroad?"

She was not unaware of Lin Piaoyun's situation.

Lin Qizheng suddenly wants to study abroad, where did she get so much money?

Siyi didn't beat around the bush with her. After a moment's hesitation, she said directly, "Piaoyun, we've been sisters for so many years. I don't want to beat around the bush with you. I've always known your situation. If you had the money to send Qizheng abroad to study, you wouldn't have had to work so hard before..."

Seeing Lin Piaoyun's face turn deathly pale instantly, Siyi's heart skipped a beat. She quickly composed herself and said slowly, "Piaoyun, I didn't mean anything by it. What's wrong with you? Can you tell me honestly?"

Lin Piaoyun raised her face.

The color had slowly returned to his face, and he smiled at Siyi. "Siyi, of course I won't hide anything from you. Don't worry, I don't steal or rob. I'm not capable of doing those kinds of things. Anyway, the money... the money was left to us by my father. I never touched that money; it was originally intended for Qizheng's studies abroad."

Since she's said that, there seems to be no reason to doubt her.

But Siyi felt uneasy, especially since the scene in the parking lot that day kept replaying in her mind.

She wanted to ask for an explanation, but Lin Piaoyun clearly didn't intend to say anything, so she held back in the end.

This is ultimately someone else's private matter, and it seems a bit excessive for her to pry too much.

"When is Qizheng leaving?" In the end, the question was changed.

Lin Piaoyun said, "I'm leaving next week. Qizheng used to be a bit immature, but I think he'll mature gradually. He told me that he's always wanted to thank you, so he wanted to see you before he leaves."

"I'll go with you to see him off the day he left."

Regardless, Siyi still regarded Lin Qizheng as her younger brother. "I haven't seen him for a long time, and he'll definitely be gone for a long time."

Lin Piaoyun nodded, and just then the waiter brought over the set meal that Siyi had ordered. Siyi fiddled with the cutlery for a moment, then buried her head in her food.

Lin Piaoyun took a sip of coffee and chatted with her casually for a few more minutes.

Siyi could tell from her cheerful and relaxed tone that she was faking it, and that behind that ease was clearly a kind of forbearance and repression.

She won't bring it up unless she says it.

A liquid crystal display was hanging not far from where the two were sitting.

At this moment, various gossip and entertainment news are being broadcast, and the host is smilingly announcing a name.

Unexpectedly, Lin Piaoyun pointed to the exquisitely made-up woman on the screen and smiled, "Qizheng really likes her. He kept saying that he wanted to go to America so he could meet this Yu Meiren if he had the chance. Apparently, she's in a movie now and is quite famous. But she's gone back to City A. These days, the entertainment headlines are all about this Yu Meiren."

Siyi has never been interested in this kind of entertainment gossip.

She had no idea what a poppy was.

However, upon hearing Lin Piaoyun's words, she looked up and glanced at the camera, just in time to see the woman on screen being pointed directly at her. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She really is very beautiful.

The woman wore a purple velvet strapless dress with a belt adorned with sparkling diamonds. The hem of the dress flared out like a blooming flower, making her long legs appear even straighter.

As a woman herself, Siyi couldn't help but take a second look. This woman had a devilish figure and an angelic face.

Her facial features could only be described as exquisite.

Every smile and frown is full of charm; a single glance from her could easily captivate any man.

"She's quite pretty."

These were the truths. Siyi smiled gently. "No wonder Qizheng likes her. She's a goddess, isn't she?"

Lin Piaoyun smiled and didn't say anything more.

As her phone rang, Siyi watched as Lin Piaoyun took out her phone, glanced at the number, and immediately her expression changed. She vaguely guessed what was going on, and then she saw Lin Piaoyun press the reject button.

"Siyi, I have some things to do this afternoon, so I have to go now."

Siyi smiled and nodded. "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I also have things to do. Remember to call me. Also, let me know when Qizheng leaves."

Lin Piaoyun hurriedly grabbed her bag from the stool and left. Siyi watched her cross the road in a hurry, and she quickly reached the street corner, turned a corner, and disappeared from sight.

She then looked away, picked up her water glass and took a few sips. Just as she was waving to the waiter to pay the bill, she noticed the hanging LCD TV screen opposite her.

The poppy smiled sweetly at the camera, and it's unclear what the reporter asked, but she was just saying...

"Perhaps you all see me as an actress, but I want to tell you that I am first and foremost a woman, and only then an actress. So I don't deny the question I just asked. Acting is indeed very important to me, but it's not my whole life. The main reason I came back this time is because there are some people and things here that I can't let go of. So please leave me alone. Aren't you allowed to fight for my own happiness?"

The last sentence was spoken with a coquettish tone.

The large group of reporters below immediately burst into laughter, and Yu Meiren also smiled openly.

Siyi raised an eyebrow and sighed once again, "This woman is truly a masterpiece crafted by God; she's too perfect."

After paying the bill, she got up and left the restaurant. As soon as she got into her car, her phone rang. Siyi glanced at the caller ID and answered it.

"I need to talk to you about something. Where are you?"

Jiang Yan was clearly taken aback on the other end of the phone. Before he could even speak, she spoke first, though her tone sounded rather stiff.

He was sitting in his executive chair, one hand supporting his chin and the other holding his phone. Upon hearing this, he lightly tiptoed around and then slowly spoke, "Honey, did you remember my phone number this time? Hmm, that's a good sign, worthy of praise."
