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

The moment their eyes met.

It was as if the whole world had suddenly fallen silent.

Siyi didn't even blink.

She looked at Jiang Yanhui.

I thought I would see some kind of surprised expression on his face.

But to his surprise, his peach blossom eyes always held a faint smile, without the slightest flaw.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if it had been stabbed by something.

It was throbbing painfully.

Is it because there's a beautiful woman standing next to him who would make any man's heart flutter?

So he didn't want to appear to her as if they were already very familiar with each other?

She had never seen him so indifferent.

Although he was smiling, she could sense that at this moment his smile was unfamiliar, distant, and carried a hint of coldness that made it difficult to approach him...

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

Those long, slender nails almost dug into her palms.

Yet, they felt no pain at all.

She simply bit her lip and lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions she couldn't hide.

"Young Master Yan, this is my good friend, Zheng Muyan."

Nie Dongsheng had no idea about their past. He was already busy introducing them, "Mu Yan, this is Jiang Yan Hui, and this is Yu Cai Yi, you can also call her Yu Mei Ren. Although it's not convenient to talk about business on an occasion like today, I think Yu Mei Ren has accepted my invitation, right?"

Today, Yu Caiyi was wearing a pure white long dress with a matching chiffon blouse, which perfectly accentuated her ethereal beauty.

She smiled slightly, exuding charm, "I am honored that Mr. Nie thinks so highly of me and has given me such an opportunity, of course I will not refuse."

Nie Dongsheng laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." As he spoke, he turned to look at Zheng Muyan, but the words that were about to come out of his throat got stuck in his throat.

Because he noticed that his friend's expression was a bit off, and being a person of character, he was naturally good at reading people.

"Mu Yan, do you know him?"

Zheng Muyan took a deep breath and subconsciously reached out to take Siyi's hand.

Siyi was startled by his actions and instinctively struggled.

He gripped the handle even tighter before speaking: "Dong Sheng, I naturally know Young Master Yan, and I also know this beauty beside him, Yu Meiren. I just don't know if Yu Meiren still remembers me."

Yu Meiren raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.

Every pose she strikes is incredibly alluring.

Her voice was soft and gentle, "Of course I know you, Zheng Muyan, Attorney Zheng. Back in the United States, you helped me resolve a contract dispute. I witnessed your ruthless methods back then, so I've always remembered you."

"You're too kind, it's all what I should do. I didn't expect to meet you again, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Zheng Muyan was a man who had seen a lot in his life. What he thought in his heart didn't matter; he still had to put on a good show.

Yu Meiren's gaze fell on Siyi again, and she asked with some curiosity, "Attorney Zheng, is this your girlfriend?"

Siyi felt a chill run down her spine.

At that moment, she wished she could turn into an ostrich.

She has known since childhood that running away is the behavior of the weak, so she will never choose to run away from any problem.

But she knew that she really wanted to run away right now.

But unexpectedly, someone called out his name.

Even though it was incredibly difficult to face, she still stubbornly raised her head.

A faint smile slowly spread across her face, a smile that concealed her deeply wounded emotions. She politely extended her hand and said, "Hello."

Seeing that she had spoken, Zheng Muyan did not answer Yu Meiren's question.

His silence seemed to represent a tacit agreement.

Those present were all intelligent people, so they naturally understood.

"Attorney Zheng has excellent taste; your girlfriend is very beautiful."

Siyi looked at the woman opposite her with a perfect smile.

Hearing her praise him, he felt no joy at all.

For some reason, she felt a vague sense of rejection, which is why she hasn't said a word since the beginning.

At that moment, he involuntarily opened his mouth and said, "How could I dare to say I'm beautiful in front of Miss Yu?"

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily shifted towards Jiang Yan Hui for a moment, but it was only for a split second, though Yu Meiren, standing nearby, caught it precisely.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything more. The men exchanged a few more pleasantries, and finally Zheng Muyan pulled Siyi away.

Yu Meiren glanced at Jiang Yanhui beside her.

He was holding his hand slightly up, sipping the red wine in his glass, looking completely normal.

But his gaze remained fixed on something not far ahead, and he didn't look away for a long time.

She recalled the fleeting glimpse of the girl named Ye Siyi earlier, and for some reason, a strange feeling vaguely rose in her heart.

"Yan Hui, do you know that Ye Siyi from earlier?"

Ordinary women are indeed not qualified to ask about Jiang Yan Hui's affairs, but Yu Cai Yi is different, so even if she asked, Jiang Yan Hui would not give her any attitude.

As expected, Jiang Yan casually withdrew her gaze, smiled slightly at her, and said nonchalantly, "I know her. She even had a lawsuit with me. She's known for her sharp tongue."

Yu Caiyi had never heard him speak of a woman like that before; in Jiang Yanhui's eyes, all women were the same.

So even though "sharp-tongued" isn't exactly a compliment, it still left her feeling quite uncomfortable.

Did he remember her?

So the undercurrent of emotions between the two of them just now wasn't her overthinking it?

"Yan Hui, do you really like her? The way you look at her is a little different."

Jiang Yan smiled deeply.

He reached out and habitually pinched her cheek.

He raised an eyebrow, his tone unusually flippant, "I like any beautiful woman. When I look at beautiful women, I feel like they're all naked."

"The swallows have returned..."

Although I've always known that Jiang Yan Hui is a carefree and irresponsible person, and that nine out of ten of her sentences are not serious.

However, Yu Caiyi was still a girl after all, and her face flushed when she heard him say that.

She dodged her foot with a hint of arrogance, "I don't want to talk to you anymore! I'm going to the balcony to get some fresh air, it's so stuffy in here, will you come with me?"

"I'm going to the restroom. You go ahead and I'll come find you in a bit, okay?"

He released Yu Caiyi's hand, casually adjusted his collar, and then walked towards the restroom.

--

This is the fifth time I've washed my face with water.

Siyi closed her eyes and held her breath, letting the icy water wash over her cheeks.

Only in this way can I gradually calm my restless heart.

When I looked up, I saw myself in the mirror.

Her face was still somewhat pale, and her lips were almost bloodless. Her large eyes were filled with too many emotions.

But it all seemed to be overshadowed by a kind of sadness. Her pale fingers slowly reached up and touched the corner of her lips, the taut lines of her lips slightly drooping.

Why do all her expressions show that she is very sad and upset?

But she clearly shouldn't be like this!

She reached out and slapped her cheeks hard, trying to smile at herself in the mirror.

But the forced smile was more painful than tears; her heart felt empty, a feeling she couldn't describe.

As soon as I close my eyes, the scene from before reappears in my mind...

She's gone mad, she must be insane!

It's just Jiang Yanhui, why is he affecting my emotions so much now?

This shouldn't be happening! What's wrong with her?

She didn't want to think about this problem anymore; she felt she couldn't go on like this any longer.

Jiang Yan is back... Jiang Yan is back... Jiang Yan is back...

She indulged herself, whispering his name freely.

With the softest, gentlest voice in your heart, close your eyes and wipe it away fiercely!

Ye Siyi, from this moment on, you must never think about that man again.

Who he's with, what he says or does, it's none of your business!

She bent down again and washed her face.

She then took two tissues to wipe herself, tidied up, and left the bathroom.

She was looking down and fiddling with her skirt as she stepped out of the bathroom.

My wrist was already being grabbed by a strong force.

He spun around for a moment, and the next second, his back was pressed against the cold wall.

The dress she was wearing today had a hole in the back, leaving her bare skin pressed against the tiles, which sent a shiver down her spine.

But the magnified handsome face in front of her made her heart leap into her throat.

It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

What is Jiang Yan doing back here?

He didn't go to be with his beautiful concubine.

He actually came to the bathroom door to ambush her...

Jiang Yan returned with a half-smoked cigarette between her fingers.

He pinned her hands firmly behind her back with one hand and moved closer to her.

His captivating peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of wicked charm.

He brought his hand, which was holding a cigarette, to her face. Siyi felt a cloud of smoke in front of her, and the pungent smell of the smoke made her want to cough.

"Young Master Yan, what a coincidence."

She struggled twice, but couldn't break free.

She knew she was never as strong as him, so she could only give up struggling and calmly state the fact, "But what do you mean by this? Didn't we pretend we didn't know each other outside? If your Yu Meiren finds out about this, it won't be good, will it?"

"is it?"

The breathing sounds in the air grew noticeably heavier, and Jiang Yan's smile deepened.

But Siyi clearly saw a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He reached out and flicked the ash from his cigarette.

At such close range, he turned his head slightly, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then tossed it to the ground.

The moment he stepped on her, his fingers gripped her chin tightly.

The next second, a kiss, thick with the smell of smoke, was pressed against her lips.

The puff of smoke he had just inhaled was still in his mouth, but now it was all transferred to her mouth...

Neuropathy!

Is he brain-dead?
