Chapter 348 Countdown to the End: Husband and Wife
Chapter 348 Countdown to the End: Husband and Wife
Siyi's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly raised her eyes and saw that Jiang Yanhui's deep eyes were completely green, like a hungry beast that wanted to tear her apart and devour her.
"Baby, can you feel it?" He pressed on relentlessly, clearly knowing she was shy about this, but he wouldn't let her off the hook. "Hmm? Tell me, what does it feel like?"
Turning her face away as if to escape, Siyi had no idea how to answer. The air seemed to freeze, making her feel suffocated. Her whole body felt burning up. After a long while, she stammered, "You...you shouldn't look at me like that, I...I don't know!"
She is clearly an eloquent person, but in some ways she is completely defenseless against this man's teasing, and even her most basic rationality disappears!
“No, it’s you who shouldn’t look at me like that,” Jiang Yan replied softly. “When you look at me like that, I feel like tearing your clothes off right now. But baby, this isn’t the place. Come with me.”
He tugged at her, and seeing that her whole body was limp, he chuckled softly and simply picked her up in his arms. Siyi gasped and instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, "...Jiang Yanhui, put me down, someone will see us."
"So what if you see it? Aren't I the man you love? Baby, I also want to tell you that you are the woman I love too. So we should let the whole world see it."
He placed her in the passenger seat, considerately fastening her seatbelt. While Siyi was still in a daze, he quickly walked around the front of the car, got in, started the engine, and drove straight to the street. He chose a hotel of similar quality and carried the still-dazed woman out of the car. It wasn't until he was talking to the waiter about getting the room key that Siyi finally snapped out of her reverie.
"...Why...why did you bring me here?" Realizing belatedly that he had already been dragged into the elevator, he began to struggle. "Jiang Yan Hui, you're shameless! Why did you bring me to a hotel..."
"Am I shameless for doing this?" Jiang Yan reached out and pinched her cheek, both amused and exasperated. "So you don't expect me to have sex with you in the car, do you?"
Siyi blushed and swung her fist at his chest. "Where did I say that? Jiang Yanhui, you're so frivolous, don't touch me!"
"I want it!" His sexy, thin lips pressed against her cheek, and his low laughter made his chest vibrate slightly, as if shaking her soul. "I want it."
"You..." Before Siyi could finish speaking, Jiang Yanhui suddenly lowered his head and showered her with kisses. Siyi couldn't dodge in time and was kissed thoroughly.
The moment he finished speaking, the elevator dinged, indicating they had arrived at their floor. Jiang Yan swiftly dragged the limp Si Yi into the room, kicked the door shut, and almost without giving Si Yi any chance to resist, pinned her down in the entryway. His burning kiss pressed against her once more, impatiently…
---
Jiang Yan was still jet-lagged and hadn't adjusted yet. Coupled with the recklessness he had just experienced, he was actually a bit tired. However, he turned over with his eyes closed and found that there was no one beside him. In an instant, all sleepiness vanished. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Si Yi standing barefoot on the terrace, holding onto the railing. Her shoulder-length short hair fell loosely, and she was only wearing his shirt, revealing her fair and slender legs.
He breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. Perhaps it was because so much had happened during this time, and their on-again, off-again relationship had made him a little neurotic. He reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, which was slightly sore. He took a thin blanket from the bed, quietly walked over, covered her shoulders with the blanket, and gently hugged her from behind.
Siyi seemed to be pulled back from her thoughts by him. Her body stiffened slightly, but she remained motionless.
This hotel was considered one of the more upscale hotels in the area. Jiang Yanhui was always quite picky about the quality of life, so even the hotels she chose on a whim wouldn't be bad. They stayed in the most luxurious suite, from which they could see the square not far away. A flock of white doves was fluttering their wings and flying through the clouds, and a few distant barks of dogs could be heard. The only sound was the quiet of their breathing.
"Why did you run out instead of resting?" Jiang Yan gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear, his deep voice husky and sexy after a satisfying moment. "Aren't you tired?"
Understanding the implication in his words, Siyi blushed as she recalled the steamy scene from earlier. She raised her hand and slapped the back of his hand that was pressing on her shoulder. "Jiang Yanhui, can't you be serious for a moment?"
"How am I being unserious?" He asked innocently. He's always been serious, okay? He's not like this when he's being unserious.
"There's not a single decent part of you!" Siyi said in annoyance, but she was too lazy to argue with him about such pointless topics. Otherwise, she would eventually lose to him in words. She sighed and said, "You know about my older brother, right? I don't want to hide it from you. I know that since you came to the United States from City A, you must know everything."
She slowly turned around, pressing her back against the railing, and wrapped her arms around his waist. Facing each other, she looked into his eyes and asked solemnly, "Can you tell me everything you know?"
Jiang Yan had already vaguely guessed that she was troubled by this matter before she returned; what was bound to happen would eventually come. Moreover, he knew this woman's personality very well; if she really wanted to know something, he couldn't stop her, otherwise it would backfire.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "I think what you know is pretty much what I know too." He paused, then added, "But Sisi, I swear, I really knew nothing before you left, otherwise I wouldn't have kept quiet about it."
Siyi's eyes immediately dimmed, and her tone betrayed deep disappointment, "...So, is everything true?"
Jiang Yan was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say at that moment.
Really?
Of course it's true!
Even though he himself found it all too absurd and ridiculous, the truth is the truth, and no one can change it!
Such a blow was unbearable even for him, so how about for her?
She and Ye Zhenghao had always been very close. The person who used to call her "brother" suddenly changed his identity, and it was that awkward identity. He knew that she must also find it hard to accept.
"Sisi..."
“I want to see my dad.” Jiang Yan hesitated, about to say something, but Si Yi suddenly interrupted him, “Yan Hui, I came to America this time to see my dad. I want to find out what happened back then, but Shang Zhancheng wouldn’t let me leave. I think it was your idea. Now that you’re here, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I must see my dad. I must find out the truth about this matter.”
Jiang Yan knew that she would never let things get away with so easily. "Sisi, you don't have to worry about this. Have you thought about it? We don't have to go back to City A. I'll have someone bring Beibei and Tiantian over. Our family can live in the United States, or you can go to whichever country you like."
That looks so tempting!
Siyi was moved. Although City A was her hometown, it was undeniable that her hometown was full of wounds. If she could really let go and be with her beloved man and lovely child at the ends of the earth, it would be the happiest thing in life!
But can she really just ignore it?
How could that be? Regardless of Ye Zhenghao's identity, he was the older brother who grew up with her since childhood, the older brother who would always stand in front of her when something happened, and the older brother who would bravely step forward to help her when she was in danger. How could she just leave like that?
"I'm sorry, Yan Hui, I can't do it." She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes obscuring the shadows beneath them. Her voice was soft, tinged with melancholy. "I can't abandon my older brother. If all of that is true... I can't imagine how he would feel if he knew. You don't understand him, but I do. He's always been a man of integrity. Because of my father, he's made fighting crime his lifelong pursuit. It's not just a dream, it's his faith... You wouldn't understand. If he knew that he was actually... I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accept such a life, and the deception from his family... If all this pain were to fall on his shoulders all at once, he would definitely break down!"
“At the very least, I should find out the truth of everything before him so that I can find a way to minimize the impact this matter will have on my older brother.”
