She had never seen Jiang Yan be so gentle with any other woman.

In the past, I saw him with a different woman every other day.

But those women are clearly different from this woman.

As a woman herself, she could tell at a glance.

Let alone their temperaments, they're from completely different worlds.

Even the way Jiang Yan looked at her was completely different.

She felt like someone going down a staircase who had stepped into an empty space and instantly plunged into an abyss.

A surge of lustful fire rose in my chest, an indescribable feeling.

Her stomach, which had been growling with hunger, now felt like it was being blocked by something, and the entire restaurant smelled like something that made her feel nauseous.

"Miss……"

The waiter who had been leading the way turned around and realized that she had been standing still the whole time. He quickly took a few steps back and said, "Miss, this way please."

Siyi ignored him, staring intently at the window.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Yan raise his hand and grab the woman's hand. She watched as his slender fingers gently stroked the back of her hand.

The woman's head slowly drooped down, and finally she grabbed his hand with her other hand.

Their fingers immediately intertwined.

Jiang Yan smiled gently, then slowly withdrew her hand, took a black velvet box from her pocket, and handed it to the woman…

Siyi couldn't bear to watch any longer.

The waiter was still calling her, but she turned around and hurriedly walked towards the restaurant entrance.

"Oh, Miss, Miss..."

When the waiter saw her turn and leave, he assumed it was because of him and hurriedly chased after her.

Siyi took two steps before hearing the call behind her. Annoyed, she turned around and said only, "Sorry, I suddenly don't want to eat anymore."

He jogged out of the restaurant.

She walked all the way to the parking lot before realizing that her steps were unsteady.

I can't even remember where the car was, even though I parked it just five minutes ago.

The empty parking lot was unusually quiet at this moment, so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat and breathing.

She pressed one hand to her chest.

My heart was beating so fast, but it felt different from the speed I felt when I faced Jiang Yan Hui before.

She didn't know what was wrong, she just felt uncomfortable, as if a piece of her heart had been cut off with a knife, and as if there was a lump of air stuck in her stomach that was throbbing with pain!

But she didn't want to go back to eat at all.

Although her stomach was upset, she no longer felt hungry.

Finally, feeling frustrated, I reached into my bag to look for my car keys, but after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find them.

She was so annoyed that her scalp was tingling, so she simply flipped her bag over, and everything fell to the ground with a clatter. Only then did she see the car keys on the floor.

She grabbed the things haphazardly and put them back into her bag before going to find her car.

The car key had a sensor, and after pressing it twice while standing still, she saw the taillights of a car not far away flashing.

When I got into the car, I felt completely drained and had no strength left.

The scene I had just witnessed kept replaying in my mind.

His hand gently pinched the woman's cheek, he smiled at her so tenderly, and he even gave her gifts...

She reached out and covered her eyes.

I let myself sit in my seat and silently told myself that I couldn't think about it anymore. What he did and who he was with had nothing to do with me.

Anyway, she had no intention of getting entangled with him anymore. Now that he has a new love, isn't that great?

That way he won't keep bothering me all the time...

As for the loss she suffered, well, that's just bad luck.

They were from two different worlds, she told herself silently, tilting her head back.

This is good, this is perfect...

But why does my heart still feel uncomfortable?

The phone rang again. Siyi listlessly took it out and glanced at the caller ID. The three characters "Zheng Muyan" jumped merrily on it. She swallowed hard and forced herself to speak. "Senior brother."

"Are you busy?" Zheng Muyan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, I'm outside."

"What a coincidence! I'm out too. Have you eaten yet?"

Siyi thought for a moment before saying, "Not yet. I don't have much of an appetite right now. I'm going to the law firm to find some documents that I'll need for court tomorrow."

"How can you go without eating? Food is essential for life. You have court tomorrow, so you can't afford to wear yourself out."

Zheng Muyan's gentle voice was full of concern, "Siyi, I haven't contacted you since what happened last time. But you're so good to me, I don't contact you and you don't contact me either. Sigh, you little girl, you really are... Go to the office first, I'll bring you dinner later. I apologized to you for hurting you last time."

Siyi felt embarrassed when she heard him say that. "Senior brother, I'm not angry. I've just been a little busy these past few days..." They had never looked at each other before.

"I know you're not angry, but I am. I made you get hurt. Can't you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

Since he had already said that, Siyi had no choice but to agree, "Then... don't buy too much, I don't have a very good appetite."

"I'll bring you your favorite food. Wait for me, I'll be right there to find you."

After hanging up the phone, Siyi finally cheered herself up.

She reached out and patted her cheeks, telling herself that she didn't have time to be distracted.

She needs to go back and prepare all the documents first, otherwise there will definitely be problems in court tomorrow.

As for Jiang Yanhui.

He can do whatever he wants; it has nothing to do with her.

It's best to never look for her again!

Siyi, who is already twenty-four years old, has never had a romantic relationship.

For the past twenty-four years, she has devoted herself entirely to her legal career.

So at that moment, she had no idea—

Her previous confusion, anger, resentment, and agitation

It's just because of jealousy!

When Zheng Muyan arrived at Siyi's office, it was already completely dark.

Everyone at the firm had already left work. When he walked to Siyi's office, he saw her buried in a pile of documents.

A tender smile slowly curved the corners of his lips.

Zheng Muyan symbolically reached out and knocked on the door.

Seeing Siyi look up, he pushed the door open and went in, holding up the plastic bag in his hand. "I brought you your favorite dishes. Come on, eat first before you get busy."

I didn't realize it before, but now that I see food, I'm actually hungry.

Siyi stood up with a smile, and Zheng Muyan had already placed the dishes one by one on the coffee table.

He even opened a lunchbox for her and placed it in front of her.

"It's been a long time since we've had a meal together, but I think I'm not mistaken, these are all your favorite dishes, aren't they?"

Isn't it?

Siyi looked at the table full of dishes in front of her. Although each dish was packed in a plastic box and didn't look very appealing, the aroma alone was enough to make her mouth water.

She picked up her chopsticks and eagerly took a bite, her eyebrows immediately rising. "Senior brother, where did you buy these? They taste so good!"

Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Zheng Muyan was overjoyed. He said gently, "Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on."

Siyi's mouth was full of food. She made a "hmm" sound and it took her a while to realize what was happening. "Huh? Did you make all of this yourself?"

"Hmm, is it that strange?"

"No...you never told me you could cook! I never expected you to cook so well, even better than the chefs at restaurants!"

"You never asked me before, so I certainly won't brag to you."

He looked at her intently, noticing a little bit of sauce on the corner of her mouth. He reached for a tissue and wiped it off for her. "No one's going to take it from you. Eat slowly. After you finish eating and get your business done, I'll take you home."

He performed such an intimate gesture with remarkable naturalness.

Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt somewhat embarrassed.

With her mouth full of food, she couldn't care less about anything else and just kept swallowing.

Just then, Zheng Muyan's phone rang, breaking the somewhat tense atmosphere. Siyi watched him turn around to answer the call, and only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When I picked up my chopsticks to eat again, I don't know why, but the taste seemed to have changed.

She quickly ate a couple more bites of rice before putting down her chopsticks. As soon as she turned around, she saw Zheng Muyan standing at the window answering a phone call.

His height was similar to Jiang Yan Hui's, and he was dressed casually. At this moment, he had one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. His back was stretched long by the overhead light, but his temperament was completely different from Jiang Yan Hui's.

Jiang Yan always had that frivolous attitude.

But Zheng Muyan is different; he always gives off a gentle vibe.

What are you thinking about?

Why is he suddenly thinking about Jiang Yan again?!

She bit her lip and slapped her forehead hard, just in time to hear Zheng Muyan's deep voice—

"Something came up... I won't be going today..."

Siyi didn't hear it; the man on the other end of the phone was teasing Zheng Muyan, "What could you possibly be up to? Busy with your junior sister again, aren't you?"

"You should ask someone else to keep you company. I really can't today."

"You're really prioritizing romance over friendship, aren't you? Why don't you call your junior sister to come along too..."

"She's busy."

Siyi didn't hear what was being said on the other end.

But hearing Zheng Muyan's voice, she roughly knew what was going on. She quickly stood up, walked to his side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and silently said, "Senior Brother."

"Wait a minute." Zheng Muyan covered his phone with his hand, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I've almost finished organizing all my materials. If you have something to do, you can go ahead. I can go home by myself."

"Are you all done with your work?"

Zheng Muyan glanced at her twice, then suddenly said, "It's still early. My friend asked me to go out and relax. Would you like to come with me?"
