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

That night, Siyi forgot how she left C University; his words kept echoing in her ears.

Sisi, I will wait for you to cook your red beans into a symbol of longing, just for me alone.

I will wait for you to cook your red beans into a symbol of longing, just for me alone.

…………

She never imagined that a song she had casually hummed for so many years would become her reality.

Although it's a classic, I never imagined that one day it would linger so deeply in my heart.

Is it simply because that person is Jiang Yan Hui?

That night, Jiang Yan took her back to her own studio apartment.

Although she had nothing on her, she always kept a spare key on the door of her apartment.

It was past 3 a.m. when I got back to the apartment.

My nerves were on edge all night, and only when I suddenly relaxed did I realize how tired I was.

Jiang Yan originally wanted to stay a little longer, but seeing her yawning repeatedly and his phone suddenly ringing again, he drove away.

Siyi was really exhausted. Knowing that she had a lawsuit the next day, she hurriedly took a shower and jumped into bed. She slept very soundly. Luckily, she had set an alarm. When she woke up in the morning, she had dark circles under her eyes.

She hadn't even had breakfast. She didn't come here often, and the kitchen was rarely used. She only had time to change her clothes before remembering that she had left her phone, keys, and documents at the Ye family mansion. Just as she was wondering whether she should go back, there was a knock on the door.

Siyi hurried to the door and looked through the peephole. Standing outside was Ye Zhenghao. She could vaguely see him holding her bag, and her heart leaped with joy. She quickly opened the apartment door.

"Big brother."

Ye Zhenghao's expression wasn't too good; his thick, sword-like eyebrows were furrowed, as if he hadn't slept well all night. "Where did you go last night?"

Siyi opened her mouth, then subconsciously said, "N-no, I didn't go anywhere."

"Why did you argue with Mom?" Ye Zhenghao shoved the bag in his hand into her hand, stepped aside and walked into the apartment. He pressed his aching brow with one hand, his tone accusing, "Siyi, you've always been a very sensible girl. What really happened last night? Do you know how long Mom was looking for you? She almost got hit by a car. And Dad, he couldn't find you either, he was calling everywhere. He doesn't have a very good heart, I was really afraid he'd faint from some kind of shock."

Siyi had no idea that while Jiang Yan had taken her out to eat, climb trees, and sing last night, her family had been frantically searching for her. Overwhelmed with guilt, she quickly asked, "Then... are Mom and Dad alright? I... I didn't actually argue with Mom..."

"Mom said we argued for a bit, and then I accidentally slapped you. Who knew you'd run out in a huff." Ye Zhenghao naturally didn't know the real reason for their argument, and he firmly believed that children shouldn't be so rude to their parents. "Siyi, even if Mom hit you, there must have been a reason. You know your parents have always loved you very much. Go back and apologize to Mom properly, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Siyi felt a mix of emotions. She wasn't a willful person, but such things were difficult to talk about. Plus, her older brother didn't ask any questions and wanted her to go back and apologize to their mother herself. Although she felt guilty for making her parents worry, she didn't think she had really said anything wrong.

Apologize?

Why apologize? Her mother cheated on her husband; from what stand should she apologize?

"I understand." In front of Ye Zhenghao, she was unwilling to say too much and simply nodded.

Ye Zhenghao then noticed that her eyes were a little red and swollen, with dark circles under them, and there seemed to be some marks on her cheeks. He sighed, "Where did you go last night? How did you end up looking like this?"

Siyi shook her head nonchalantly, "I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here."

"Nonsense." Ye Zhenghao glared at her. "I went to your office last night, but I didn't see you. You're not here either."

Siyi fell silent after hearing what he said.

Ye Zhenghao thought to himself that she was, after all, a girl, and this was the first time her mother had ever slapped her. Whatever the reason, she must have felt wronged. He knew his younger sister well; although she was strong-willed and very outstanding, deep down she was still a very soft and sensitive little girl.

"Alright, you look so tired, you should get some rest. I have things to do this afternoon, so I won't keep you any longer." Ye Zhenghao stood up, then suddenly remembered something, "But remember to come home for dinner tonight, okay?"

Siyi felt a little awkward, but considering that she was about to leave, she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.

As soon as Ye Zhenghao left, she organized all the documents she had on hand before heading out.

Her car didn't come over, so she needed to walk for more than ten minutes to the outside of the community to hail a taxi. Siyi bought a cup of milk and a bread roll at a convenience store as she walked, completely unaware that a black car was following behind her.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat tense. The man sitting in the passenger seat wore a round hat, had a pair of shifty eyes, and was very thin. He turned his face to the man leaning back in the back seat with a fawning expression and said, "Brother, this is her, Ye Siyi."

The man sat steadily in the back seat as the car drove extremely slowly. He wore sunglasses, making his expression unreadable, but even through the thick lenses, his exceptionally sharp gaze was still palpable. His chestnut hair was strikingly unruly, and his thin lips, pressed together, resembled an incredibly sharp knife.

The man didn't speak, but merely followed the gaze of the man in front of him, and the alluring figure instantly came into view. After a long pause, he let out a disdainful snort, his lips curving into a chilling smile.

"Send someone to follow her first, and make your move when the opportunity arises." The man spoke, his voice hoarse, carrying a chilling, bone-chilling quality.

The gaunt man in the passenger seat nodded immediately, then hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Brother, this girl... isn't so easy to deal with. She's a lawyer, but she has an older brother who's an inspector. What do you think, if we kidnap her, would that be...?"

"She's Jiang Yanhui's woman. You want to taste what Jiang Yanhui's woman is like?" The man's knowing gaze swept over, and the emaciated man immediately grinned lewdly, his greedy expression utterly repulsive. "Brother, you really understand me... Damn it, that Jiang Yanhui has given me a hard time before. If I really manage to get his woman this time, I really want to... Hehe..."

"up to you."

The man waved his hand dismissively and sneered, "Just remember not to leave a trace after you're done. Do you remember what I said? Who sent you to do this?"

"Of course, of course! Don't worry, brother, I've kept it in mind all along. I will never let Jiang Yan suspect you. I will handle this matter perfectly, so that you can vent your anger and also cause infighting within the Jiang family."

The man smirked and snapped his fingers. "Get out of the car. Go and make your own arrangements. I'll transfer the final payment to your account when I have good news."

The car door was pushed open, and the emaciated man jumped out of the car after bowing and scraping. He then closed the door, and the black car disappeared around the corner at the intersection a short while later.

After Siyi finished dealing with the case, it was lunchtime. As she left the courthouse, Xiao Zhang followed behind her, asking solicitously, "Attorney Ye, would you like to have lunch before going back?"

Just as Siyi was about to say something, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Lin Piaoyun, whom she hadn't contacted for many days. She quickly waved to Xiao Zhang, "Go ahead and eat. I'll go back to the office this afternoon. Take my things back for me first."

Xiao Zhang nodded, grabbed her things, and hurriedly left. Siyi then answered the phone, "Piaoyun."

"Siyi, are you busy?" Lin Piaoyun's voice was a bit noisy, sounding like she was at an airport. Siyi's mind flashed and she remembered that Lin Piaoyun had mentioned Lin Qizheng's departure for studying abroad, and it seemed like he was about to leave.

"No, I just came out of the courthouse. Are you at the airport?"

"Well, Qizheng is boarding in two hours, so I'm just calling you. Can you make it in time?"

Siyi glanced at her watch and said, "Wait here, I'll be right there."

As they talked, they walked to the intersection, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the airport.

The roads weren't too congested at this time, and the driver was driving fairly fast. Siyi saw that they were almost at the airport, so she called Lin Piaoyun again.

After confirming her location, she had just hung up when a phone call came in.

Looking at the three words "Jiang Yan Hui" jumping on the screen, it felt as if they were jumping on her heart. In fact, after what happened last night, she knew that her feelings for him had changed a lot.

At least she doesn't reject him like she used to, and she subconsciously wants to answer his calls.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just as she pressed the call button, her phone suddenly emitted a warning sound. It turned out that the battery was dead and it automatically shut down a short while later.

Siyi bit her lip, wanting to try turning the machine on again, but it was in vain. She thought about it and figured she had nothing else to do, so she would wait until she got back to the agency to deal with it.
