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

He hit the spot in my heart with just one sentence.

Siyi almost jumped up in anger, "Jiang Yanhui, you're talking nonsense! Do you think I'm like you? Can't you think straight? I don't have the time to find someone to deliberately provoke you. Don't try to make yourself look good!"

"Why would I embellish my own image? I'm not a nouveau riche. Even if I have money, I don't need to embellish my image. That's so low-class."

Jiang Yan was lying casually on the sofa, her long legs propped up on the coffee table opposite her without any regard for her image.

For the first time, he realized that teasing a woman could be such a fun thing.

He was still imagining in his mind how angry his little Sisi looked at him, her face turning ashen.

Sigh, I should have teased her face-to-face.

Her expression must have been hilarious.

Siyi, on the other end of the phone, was so angry that her blood was running cold. But no matter how angry or unwilling she was, she found that her usual eloquent and persuasive manner in court was gone.

She felt that every time she had a verbal battle with him, she was always the one who lost.

Especially when he acts like a scoundrel towards her, she really has no way to deal with it.

Okay, she took a deep breath and told herself, why bother getting entangled with such a scoundrel?

He's trying to play word games, isn't he?

Let him go and have his fun!

She won't play along!

"Jiang Yan Hui, if you call me again, you're a bastard!"

She admitted that she was furious because she couldn't think of any other words. In a moment of desperation, she blurted out that sentence into her phone, word by word.

Although it was very childish, she didn't care about that anymore.

Anyway, after yelling, she hung up the phone and turned it off.

He went back to bed in a rage.

She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about what had happened that day.

And then there was what happened a couple of days ago. Her temples throbbed, and she remembered the most crucial question.

She's been completely overwhelmed by the situation these past few days.

After what happened with Jiang Yan... it seems... it seems he didn't use contraception...

Her face flushed an unnatural red, and she hurriedly got up to look for her medicine in her bag.

She remembered that there were still some left when she bought them the first time, and sure enough, she found them.

She didn't want to go downstairs anymore, because the pill was so small that she swallowed it with her saliva.

Thinking about the lawsuit she had to fight tomorrow, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.

-

When I woke up the next day, I didn't feel very well.

However, she had to go to court today, so she set her alarm in advance.

Forcing herself to stay awake, she washed her face with cold water after getting up, which made her feel much more refreshed.

When I went downstairs, I found my father, Ye Xiongming, and my eldest brother, Ye Zhenghao, sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Seeing her come down, Ye Zhenghao greeted her with a smile, "Siyi, you came back very late yesterday, didn't you? You weren't home when I got back."

Siyi nervously smoothed the stray hairs around her ears and mumbled an "Mmm".

Her mother wasn't at the table, so she asked, "Isn't Mom home?"

Ye Xiongming sighed and said, "Your mother received a phone call yesterday saying that something seemed to have happened at the school, so she went there very early today and will probably stay in the school dormitory for the next few days."

Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly realized what it was.

She said "Oh" and then said calmly, "Dad, Mom works so hard, have you ever thought about letting her retire early?"

"Of course I tried to persuade her, but she said she still had the energy and there were still many things at school that she needed to handle herself. I didn't say much. Considering that she has been constantly on the go all her life, it would be a bit difficult for her to suddenly settle down."

Siyi nodded gently and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be in good spirits today, Ye Zhenghao glanced at her a couple more times and then interjected, "Siyi, have you been very busy these past few days?"

"not bad."

You don't look well.

"Oh, because I have a lawsuit to fight today, I spent the whole night yesterday looking through the documents."

"Then I'll drive you there in a bit. It's not safe for you to drive like this."

Siyi realized that she was indeed somewhat absent-minded, so she didn't refuse again.

After the two siblings finished breakfast, they got into Ye Zhenghao's car.

"Dad asked me something today." As soon as they got in the car, Ye Zhenghao suddenly spoke, looking at her with a smile, but didn't say anything more.

Siyi turned her head in surprise. "What?"

"I don't know how he found out you have a boyfriend. Today he asked me who your boyfriend is and when you're going to bring him home to meet him."

Siyi's expression changed instantly.

Fortunately, Ye Zhenghao was busy driving and didn't notice her nervousness and unease. He continued, "Actually, your older brother also thinks it's about time you brought her home to meet us. Siyi, you're not young anymore. Dad used to have high expectations for you, always hoping you would achieve success in your career first. When you were in college, he forbade you from dating, but you are indeed very outstanding and doing very well now. I think Dad now approves of you dating. So you don't need to worry, bring her home to meet us, okay?"

Siyi couldn't smile at all. "Big brother, let's postpone this matter for a while."

What are you doing, Huanhuan?

Ye Zhenghao thought the problem lay with his father, and couldn't help but say, "Dad won't object. I've hinted at it, and he said that as long as the person is of good character and worthy of you, he won't be so controlling."

Siyi turned her face to look out the car window, feeling a surge of anxiety.

The question now is, where did she get a boyfriend?

Fortunately, they arrived at the courthouse quickly, and she could only try to avoid the situation for now: "Brother, could you stop for me up ahead? I still have some things to buy, but I can walk over by myself in a bit."

Ye Zhenghao could obviously tell that she was avoiding the topic.

However, since this was his sister's first time dating, he assumed she was just shy and didn't think much of it.

He stopped the car as soon as he turned the corner at the intersection. "Then you go ahead and get busy. Think carefully about what I told you. I'll pick you up this evening."

"Ah, no need." Siyi quickly waved her hand. "I probably still have a lot of things to take care of today. Big brother, you go to work first. We've already made arrangements by phone."

Ye Zhenghao nodded, watched her get out of the car, and then drove away.

Siyi watched as the car's taillights completely disappeared from her sight before she finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's really your own fault.

Where is she supposed to find a boyfriend to bring home and introduce to them?

But there's not much time to think about that now. We can only let things take their course; things will work themselves out.

She steadied herself before preparing to go to court.

Unexpectedly, he saw Zheng Muyan waiting at the courthouse entrance.

He stood at the doorway dressed in casual clothes, his face revealing an undisguised anxiety.

Siyi felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about what happened last night.

"Siyi?"

Zheng Muyan saw her from a distance and rushed over, grabbing her wrist. "What happened? Do you know how many times I called you yesterday? I almost went to your house to find you."

Thinking about her sudden disappearance last night, Siyi felt really guilty and quickly said, "I'm sorry, senior brother. Yesterday... something suddenly happened, and then... I lost my phone, so... that's why I didn't have time to tell you."

"What could be so important that you didn't even have time to tell me?"

Zheng Muyan frowned, recalling Jiang Yanhui from last night, and felt a tightness in his chest and agitation.

Her tone was somewhat impatient now, "Is it because of that Jiang Yanhui again? Siyi, tell me honestly, did he bully you again last night?"

"No, it has nothing to do with him."

Siyi instinctively answered, her mind racing before she came up with an excuse, "Actually...it's my own fault. Last night, I suddenly...um...it's my period...I was too embarrassed to go out, and I accidentally dropped my phone...dropped it into the bathroom, so that's why..."

This excuse was practically flawless, especially considering she didn't look too good today.

Zheng Muyan felt a little embarrassed after hearing what she said.

He reached up and touched his nose before saying, "Oh, I see. I was so anxious just now. I was really afraid something had happened to you. I'm sorry, Siyi."

"It's alright, senior brother. It was my fault for making you worry."

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Sigh, lying to the people around you first thing in the morning is really hard work.

Siyi felt like her head was about to explode.

Fortunately, her assistant rushed over with the documents at that moment. Seeing Siyi standing at the courthouse entrance, he quickly jogged over and said, "Attorney Ye, oh, Attorney Zheng is here too." He was very quick to respond.

"Senior brother, I have another case to attend to, so I'll go in first."

Siyi took the things from her assistant and walked towards the entrance of the courthouse.

Zheng Muyan nodded and followed him up. "I don't have anything to do today. I'm going to the hearing. You don't look too well, are you alright? Or should I go buy you something?"

"No, it's okay."

Siyi waved her hand, and the two of them walked into the main entrance of the courthouse. Suddenly, the double doors of the elevator in front of them slowly opened.

As Siyi walked to the very edge, she heard a slightly familiar male voice in the elevator, tinged with a hint of complaint, just as they passed each other.

"Seriously, Yan Hui, are you just bored out of your mind?"

Siyi felt as if something had stabbed her in the back.

My brain went blank for a second.

She instinctively turned her face and, sure enough, saw that tall, slender figure.

He was leaning casually against the elevator door, arms crossed, a smile playing on his lips, looking relaxed and carefree.

The light pink shirt he wore accentuated his elegant demeanor.
