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

Chapter 352 Countdown to the End 21: A Love That Is One and Only

Ye Xiongming suddenly reached out and grabbed Siyi's hands, which were resting on her knees. His eyes flickered. Siyi had never seen her father so vulnerable before, and her heart was deeply moved. She heard him pleadingly say, "So... Siyi, I beg you, please don't get involved with the Jiang family anymore. Think about it, how will you face your older brother in the future? This is all a tragic fate!"

“Siyi, Dad knows it’s a bit selfish of me to say this at this time. Actually, we’ve all let you down.” Seeing that Siyi remained silent, Ye Xiongming continued, “It’s true that you shouldn’t have to bear the burden of our mistakes, but things have already come to this. If you continue to be with Jiang Yan, then in the future… in the future you and your older brother… will face the consequences.”

He'd been calling me "elder brother" for over twenty years, and suddenly he'd become "uncle"—anyone would feel awkward in that situation.

Moreover, he never liked Jiang Yanhui in the first place, and the closer Siyi got to him, the more likely they would have conflicts in the future.

However, this was Ye Xiongming's own thought, and of course it wasn't Siyi's.

She might find her brother's actions absurd and feel sorry for him, but why should she measure all of that against the happiness she already has in her hands?

She and Jiang Yan had gone through so much to get to where they were today, and no matter how apologetic she felt, she didn't want to compromise for anyone anymore.

"I won't agree." She slowly withdrew her hand from Ye Xiongming's palm, her eyes calm, and her voice equally calm. "Dad, no matter what you think, I have my own thoughts. You don't agree to me being with Jiang Yanhui because of the grudges of your previous generation, but Jiang Yanhui and I are innocent, aren't we? Dad, perhaps I'm wrong. I've never told you that I actually have two children with Yanhui, and they're already five years old..."

Unsurprisingly, seeing Ye Xiongming's increasingly pale face, Siyi paused for a moment, but still said in one breath, "We've both wronged each other, Dad. I've never blamed you for anything, and neither has Mom. Although I haven't been with you all these years, just like you said, I've always kept you in my heart. I remember when I was little, Dad, you taught me that you can't be too passive; you have to be proactive to fight for what you want."

“I don’t want anything anymore. All I want is Jiang Yan. Even if I’m not with him, do you think my brother’s affair can be ignored? He’ll find out sooner or later! I know no one is to blame for this. It’s just fate playing tricks on us. But… even so, I shouldn’t have to bear all of this. I can’t do it. I’m a selfish person too. I want happiness, Dad. I’ve worked so hard for so many years. I really don’t want to lose it all.”

"Siyi, have you ever thought about your biological mother? She died because of the Jiang family..."

"Dad, why have you been hiding here for the past five years, not wanting to see anyone?" Siyi had long since let go of her biological mother's past. She had considered giving up, but ultimately they came together. If heaven had eyes, if her biological mother could know from beyond the grave, she would rather believe it. What she truly wanted was to see herself happy and content, not to hold grudges over those past grievances. "Actually, the only person I can't truly let go of is you. I haven't seen Mom in these past few years, but I saw her at the cemetery… When I saw her, I felt very peaceful. Seeing her smile at me, I felt she wanted me to be happy. Dad, I know you've always blamed yourself, but the dead are gone. I also want to believe that departed loved ones always hope for a better tomorrow for the living."

Ye Xiongming stared blankly at Siyi. The warm sunlight shone on her head. She sat quietly in front of him, her eyes sincere as she spoke those words. In that instant, Ye Xiongming felt that the person sitting in front of him was not only Siyi, but also another woman he had longed for for so many years, a woman he dared not face...

“Dad, you taught me that running away won’t solve problems, and only by facing them bravely can we overcome them. I’ve faced them, and now it’s your turn.” Siyi slowly reached out and gently placed her hand on Ye Xiongming’s hand.

.........

As Siyi stepped out the door, she immediately noticed a man leaning against a bright blue car not far away. Lately, he seemed to be experimenting with various colors in his clothing choices; he wore a light pink shirt paired with light military green casual pants, exuding an innate air of refined elegance. With his arms crossed and his gaze fixed on the ground, his understated demeanor made the surrounding air seem exceptionally different.

Some people are born different from others!

Jiang Yan Hui is that kind of person.

How fortunate she is to have the unique love he gave her so completely.

Siyi lifted her foot and took a step towards the door. In that instant, she had a feeling that behind her was another world, an endless sea of ​​suffering, while in front of her was another world, a world of bright spring sunshine. It seemed that if she just took a little more effort to move forward, a prince would be waiting for her in this world...

He would give her the whole world and make her the happiest person in the world.

As if by telepathy, the man standing in front with his eyes down suddenly raised his head.

Their eyes met, and Siyi's gaze flickered slightly. Her heartbeat quickened unconsciously, and she cursed herself for being so weak. How many years had it been? They weren't seventeen or eighteen-year-olds anymore, so why was she still like this? Every time Jiang Yan glanced back at her, she felt like she couldn't control her heartbeat and breathing.

His eyes possessed a kind of magic, a magic that completely captivated her; she simply couldn't let go of a man like that.

There's a saying that goes something like this: There are so many people in this world, all of them wonderful in every way, yet none of them can compare to Jiang Yanhui.

“Looking at me with such affection in broad daylight, baby, you wouldn’t be thinking…” Jiang Yan stood in front of her, reached out and hugged her, but what she said ruined the beautiful atmosphere.

Siyi couldn't help but reach out and pinch his arm, saying fiercely, "Jiang Yanhui, can't you be serious for once? I think you're getting more and more lewd!" It's true that old habits die hard!

"I'm only vulgar with you, don't you like it?" This kind of person is known for taking advantage of others while acting innocent.

Siyi pushed him, "Who said I like it? You're so annoying!"

"Okay, okay, I know women are all hypocrites. Usually when you say you hate something, it means you really like it." The man shamelessly insisted on twisting her meaning.

Siyi clenched her fist and punched it into his chest, but not with much force. Jiang Yan was really afraid that she would hurt her hand, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, and kissed it. "Stop messing around. Have you explained everything?"

Siyi's eyes darkened slightly, and she said softly, "I've made it clear."

Jiang Yan Hui already knew everything. She had been having Shang Zhan Cheng stop Si Yi because she was afraid that Si Yi would have an emotional breakdown if she faced such a situation alone. However, after carefully observing Si Yi's emotions today, she didn't seem too tense. She was sad and upset, but it was mostly evident in her expression. Jiang Yan Hui concluded that Si Yi was really alright, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

“I was worried before, but it seems I was overthinking it.” He gently reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her ear. “If you feel uncomfortable, you can lean on my shoulder and cry. I promise I will never go back and tell those two kids.”

Siyi had actually felt a strong urge to cry, but after he said that, she burst out laughing and punched him in the chest. Jiang Yan gently grabbed her wrist, opened the car door, and let her get in. "Okay, I'm sure you're really alright, so wait for me in the car for a bit, okay?"

"where are you going?"

“That was your time with your father. I’ve been waiting at the door for so long because I also have some things I want to say to him privately. You should give me a few minutes, right?”

Siyi was even more surprised, "You and my dad? What are you going to say to him?"

Jiang Yan reached out and affectionately pinched her cheek. Si Yi huffed and slapped his hand away, protesting, "Don't keep pinching my cheeks like that. People will think I'm a child..."

"Aren't you a child anymore? My darling." If he couldn't pinch her, he'd kiss her. He leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Alright, just sit here and wait for me for a bit. I'll be right back."

Siyi wanted to say something, but Jiang Yan had already closed the car door for her and turned to sit at the gate. She looked at his tall figure and ultimately did not chase after him.

There's really nothing to worry about. Of course, she trusts her man; he won't do anything excessive.

When Jiang Yan walked through the gate, Ye Xiongming was still sitting there blankly, looking extremely lonely. His already aged face seemed to have aged even more in that instant.

He raised his eyebrows and took two steps forward, but suddenly heard Ye Xiongming's hoarse voice, "I don't really want to see you. If you have anything to say, skip the unnecessary stuff and get straight to the point."

Jiang Yan paused, then smiled and got straight to the point, "I do have something I want to tell you. Of course, I know you don't really want to see me, but even if it's for Sisi's sake, what I have to say is related to her, so please listen to me."
