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

The newspaper suddenly became glaringly bright, and she didn't have the courage to look at the tiny words anymore. She felt as if something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't swallow or spit it out. Slowly, she felt a metallic taste rising in her throat, as if a hole had been eroded in her heart. Everything happened so suddenly, and she was completely caught off guard.

But her eyes kept involuntarily scanning downwards, the tiny words meticulously analyzing everything they had shared. She gripped the newspaper tightly at the corners, her hands beginning to tremble. She read line by line with a masochistic intensity. Each word was like an arrow piercing her heart, the pain suffocating her.

She had only ever heard of "a thousand arrows piercing her heart" before, but now she knew exactly what it felt like. Everything before her was a sharp sword, fiercely stabbing at her. She was in pain, she was in agony, but she couldn't dodge, she couldn't avoid it, she could only endure it pitifully, she didn't even have the right to groan in pain.

A burning sensation gradually welled up in her eyes. She dared not blink. Finally, she realized what was happening, bit her lip tightly, and shoved the newspaper into Xiao Zhang's hand. She staggered a couple of steps outside, but the tightness in her chest made her feel even more uncomfortable, as if the world before her eyes was distorted.

Jiang Yan Hui, he's a complete fraud!

No, he might not even be a conman. Why would he have a beloved woman and a son? What is he up to? Is it because of the relationship between my mother and his father that he's resorting to such a despicable and ruthless way to get revenge on me?

She kept thinking to herself, how could he do this? How could he be so cruel?

What is he thinking? He went to such lengths to keep her by his side for three months, only to find out the next day that he already had a family…

Her mind kept replaying every little detail of the past few days between the two of them, and at this moment, everything had become a nightmare that pierced her heart.

Xiao Zhang noticed her unusual behavior and probably knew that there was something unusual between her and Jiang Yan, but he didn't expect that this news would be such a blow to Attorney Ye.

She usually remains calm and collected in the face of danger, but at this moment, her face was deathly pale.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly chased after him. "Attorney Ye, are you alright?"

Siyi vaguely heard someone calling her name. It was a familiar voice. She slowly raised her head and after a long while, she subconsciously responded, "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired and want to go home to rest."

Xiao Zhang noticed that her face was very pale and she looked like she was about to collapse.

But she spoke clearly, and she wasn't sure if Attorney Ye was acting this way because of that report.

After all, the public's opinion of Jiang Yan Hui isn't very positive. Surely a woman like Attorney Ye wouldn't actually have anything going on with Jiang Yan Hui?

Perhaps she really was just feeling unwell? She thought for a moment and quickly said, "Then you should go back and rest. If anything comes up this afternoon, I'll call you again."

Siyi nodded and walked towards the elevator.

As we approached the elevator, Xiao Zhang hurriedly caught up from behind: "Attorney Ye, here's your bag."

She took it somewhat numbly. Seeing her distraught appearance, Xiao Zhang was worried: "Attorney Ye, you look terrible. Can you drive yourself? Or should I call you a car?"

She gently shook her head: "I...I'm fine, it's just...a little painful..."

Xiao Zhang exclaimed "Ah!" and, thinking something was wrong, asked, "Attorney Ye, where does it hurt? Should we go see a doctor?"

Siyi then realized what was happening and subconsciously said, "It's nothing, I just have a stomachache."

Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Then you should go home quickly, eat something and rest. You must eat something if you have a stomachache."

Siyi really wanted to smile at her, but she just couldn't manage to.

She boarded the elevator blankly, and only after the double doors slowly closed did she lean back somewhat flustered.

It felt like all my strength had been drained away. My body was trembling uncontrollably.

Only she knew that it wasn't a stomachache; it was a sharp, intense pain in her chest.

What's wrong with her?

She walked out the door as if in a daze, got into a taxi, and the driver asked, "Miss, where to?"

She couldn't think of a place name for a long time, so she had to let the driver drive on. Fortunately, her phone rang in her bag a little while later. She heard it ring twice before she could tell it was her own phone.

With trembling hands, he took out the phone and looked at the caller ID, then froze in shock.

Ye Zhenghao's name was flashing on the screen. She had to force herself to stay awake and answer the call, "Big Brother."

"What's wrong with your voice? Are you feeling unwell?" Was her voice really that noticeable? Her older brother could tell something was wrong just by hearing her speak? Siyi couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. Was it really that obvious?

"It's nothing, I just suddenly have a bit of an upset stomach."

"Haven't you eaten again?"

"I'll go eat now." Siyi thought for a moment and then asked, "Big brother, I'm fine. Did you call me because you need something?"

Ye Zhenghao chuckled softly and said, "You often forget to eat when you're working. Are you busy again today? Alright, come find me now. I happen to have some time this afternoon and want to have lunch with you."

Siyi really had no appetite for food.

But before she could even say no, she was still waiting.

As if he had the ability to foresee the future, Ye Zhenghao immediately followed up, saying, "Don't refuse me. I know you just finished a lawsuit and won it beautifully. Consider it a celebration from your older brother. Besides, it's been a long time since we siblings have had a proper meal together in private."

Since he had said that, Siyi seemed to have no reason to refuse, and finally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she told the driver the name of the restaurant Ye Zhenghao had told her on the phone, then leaned back in her seat and gently closed her eyes.

When Siyi arrived at the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Ye Zhenghao, she realized why Ye Zhenghao had suddenly insisted on dragging her to dinner. Looking at the man sitting next to Ye Zhenghao, her eyes darkened slightly, and she had an urge to turn around and leave.

Zheng Muyan saw her come in from afar, and when he saw her standing at the door without coming over, he became anxious and, disregarding everything else, got up and walked towards her.

"Siyi".

She bit her lip, just looking at him without saying a word.

Zheng Muyan dreaded seeing her like this. He knew she was still angry about yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh. He originally wanted to reach out and take her hand, but seeing her cold and distant expression, he held back. His voice was incredibly humble, "I know you're still angry, and I didn't dare see you myself. I was afraid you'd turn around and leave, so I deliberately asked you to meet through your older brother. Siyi, I was wrong about yesterday. I was really confused. Can you please stop being angry?"

Is this really the Zheng Muyan I've known for so many years?

He was always full of confidence in everything he did. He would win nine out of ten lawsuits, and even if he lost, he wouldn't lose face. He never panicked or lost his composure when dealing with people or things. But now, he was humbly begging for his own forgiveness.

Siyi's heart skipped a beat. Forget it, why should she care so much? Actually, he didn't do anything to her; he was just trying to provoke her.

Why wasn't she this angry when Jiang Yanhui touched her inappropriately so many times?

But Zheng only had some ulterior motives, so why was she so harsh on him?

She didn't know if she was being stubborn or what, but suddenly she smiled at Zheng Muyan and said, "Senior brother, I'm not angry anymore. I know you drank too much last night. Let's just let bygones be bygones and not bring it up again, okay?"

Zheng Muyan did not expect that she would suddenly forgive him.

Overjoyed, she didn't know what to do with her hands. "Really? Siyi, you really forgave me? If you're unhappy, hit me..." Ziyan is Yu Xi.

"Senior brother, don't say that. You've had too much to drink. I'm really not angry anymore."

Although he knew that her claim of being drunk was just a way to save face, and that she still didn't accept him, he preferred to remain by her side as her senior brother rather than let her get angry and ignore him. He believed that one day she would understand his deep affection.

"Mu Yan told me today that he did something that upset you, so he asked me to meet you so he could apologize properly. Si Yi, you're not a petty person in your brother's eyes. No matter what your senior brother did wrong, just forgive him." Ye Zhenghao, having noticed the atmosphere between the two had improved somewhat, strolled over, smiled, and said, "You haven't eaten yet. Weren't you complaining about a stomachache? Sit down and have something to eat."

With Ye Zhenghao present, the two of them couldn't say anything more.

The three people were preparing to walk towards the designated location.

Just then, they saw the hotel manager hurriedly come out of the private room, walk past them, and head straight for the restaurant entrance.

"Young Master Yan is here. Quickly prepare the private room and find a few quick-witted waiters to wait over there."

The hushed voice was right behind her, and even if she tried to ignore it, every word was crystal clear. Siyi froze, and the next second she heard the manager's obsequious greeting again.

"Young Master Yan, you've arrived. Everything is ready. Please come in."
