Chapter 354 Post-Wedding Extra Chapter ~1
After the successful proposal, Jiang Yan didn't linger for a moment. She took Si Yi back to City A and registered their marriage immediately.
Now that she had officially become Mrs. Jiang, Siyi was filled with mixed emotions. After so many years of ups and downs with this man, things had finally settled down.
At dinner that evening, the four of them sat together as a family. Bei Bei and Tian Tian were very happy. In their hearts, they had long since accepted Jiang Yan as their "dad." Now that their mom was back, the children were naturally happy, and everything felt complete.
Because of Lin Zhenbiao's incident, neither of the two children went to kindergarten. Jiang Yanhui personally invited a teacher to their home. Tiantian likes to draw, so she specially found a teacher to come over. After dinner, a middle-aged teacher came, and the two little ones went upstairs together, leaving only Jiang Yanhui and Siyi in the living room.
The maid brought up some fruit, and Siyi ate it while watching the boring TV news. Jiang Yan answered the phone, her expression somewhat serious.
"What's wrong?" Siyi noticed that his expression was different and forked a piece of apple into his mouth.
Jiang Yan smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a small matter." While thoroughly enjoying his wife's attentiveness, he swallowed the apple whole, but his mind was clearly on something else entirely—
The call he just received was from one of his men, and it was naturally about Ye Zhenghao. Actually, he was starting to regret his actions. He shouldn't have acted rashly back then. Ye Zhenghao probably already knew everything. He had personally arrested Lin Zhenbiao, and the trial wouldn't start for another week. Currently, Lin Zhenbiao was being watched 24/7 at the police station, so he couldn't pull any tricks. But Ye Zhenghao had already disappeared for three days.
Jiang Yan was not worried about Ye Zhenghao; he was worried about Siyi.
At this point, should he tell her everything about it?
But knowing her temper, if I really told her everything, she would probably fly into a rage...
Just as Jiang Yan was hesitating about whether to speak, the TV news was about to switch to Lin Zhenbiao's case. As soon as the host mentioned Lin Zhenbiao's name, Si Yi immediately turned to look at him, "...He, he was really arrested?"
Siyi wanted to ask about this on the way back, but since he was Jiang Yan's maternal grandfather, she hesitated and didn't say anything. Now that the news is out, it's probably true. It's just that the person who arrested him... was his older brother.
She's been calling me "Big Brother" for over twenty years, and she just can't change how she addresses me all of a sudden.
Siyi sighed helplessly, "...My older brother... Yan Hui, I really can't change how I address him. His identity has suddenly changed like that. But he doesn't know yet. Can I still call him older brother?"
“Silly girl, you can call him whatever you want.” Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and gently ruffled her long hair. “Actually, just like you said, you and Ye Zhenghao have been like siblings for over twenty years, and I’ve always treated him like my brother-in-law. You say he suddenly becomes my uncle? Sigh, even I can’t quite accept it, let alone you.”
Siyi pondered for a moment, "Does my older brother know the truth about this matter?"
This statement finally came, and it hit the nail on the head!
Jiang Yan's expression stiffened slightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided that he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, or things would get even more out of control. So he tentatively said, "Actually, I think he probably already knows."
As expected, Siyi was very surprised. "What? Are you serious?" She paused, then took out her phone and said urgently, "No, I have to call him first. This is such a big deal, why are you only telling me now?"
Jiang Yan reached out and stopped her from making the call. After glancing at her, she decided to tell her the truth. "Sisi, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid you would worry too much. Ye Zhenghao should not be in City A right now, so you don't need to call him. You can't reach him."
Siyi's eyes immediately reddened. "Why did you only tell me now? You knew all along, didn't you? Didn't I tell you? You need to look after my brother. You clearly know how much this will affect him. Why did you only tell me now?"
Jiang Yanhui knew she was in the wrong, so she tried to coax her, "Okay, it's my fault, my negligence. Actually, I did expect things to turn out this way, didn't I? You can't blame me entirely. What's the use of hiding when something's going on?"
That last sentence clearly shifted all the blame onto Ye Zhenghao!
Hearing these words only added fuel to the fire for Siyi, instantly extinguishing any remaining affection. This was their first argument since registering their marriage, sparked by Ye Zhenghao. Jiang Yan initially tried to appease her, but then she spoke too quickly, inadvertently revealing that he was the one who had told Ye Zhenghao about that incident that day, completely enraging Siyi!
The two had initially been keeping their voices down in the living room, afraid of disturbing Beibei and Tiantian who were focused on drawing in their room. However, the more they argued, the more agitated they became. Jiang Yan initially tried to appease her, but Siyi, in her agitation, blurted out, "How could you be so selfish? Just for your own momentary pleasure, you pushed my brother to that point. Even if you don't care about him, I told you before I left to take care of the people around me. Did you even take my words to heart?"
These words finally made Jiang Yan's face darken. "Isn't that enough? I've already apologized to you. You yourself said that when you left, did you even consider my feelings? Under those circumstances, I only said one thing. Besides, do you think this kind of thing can be kept from your older brother? He'll find out sooner or later! How can a grown man accomplish great things if he can't even bear the weight of his own past?"
Siyi was now both aggrieved and furious, her eyes reddening slightly. "Jiang Yanhui, you bastard! I've only been married to you for one day, and you're already talking to me like this! I hate you!"
She could no longer remain calm. After letting out a low growl, she grabbed her car keys and prepared to leave.
Jiang Yan quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Where are you going?"
"Mind your own business!" She pushed him away. "Get out of my way!"
"I'm your husband, if I don't stop you, who else can I stop?" Jiang Yan's face grew even darker. "It's so late, you're not allowed to go anywhere, go back upstairs and sleep!"
"Jiang Yanhui, don't think that just because you're married to me now, I'll let you do whatever you want with me! I'm not going to sleep, get out of here!"
"I manipulated you?" His voice was already laced with anger. "Was I manipulating you? You should think about me too. Under those circumstances, I had no choice. Okay, I admit I had ulterior motives, I admit I was indeed resentful, but I never intended to do anything to your older brother. I did all that because of someone else, you know? Can't you understand me even a little bit?!"
"You don't need to say anything more. Can I go out and find my older brother now?" After arguing with him for almost an hour, Siyi was also tired. Actually, she really wanted to go out and find Ye Zhenghao.
Jiang Yan naturally refused, grabbing her waist and saying domineeringly, "You're not allowed to go! Go upstairs to sleep now, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Siyi flung his hand away. "Are you even being reasonable? My brother's life hangs in the balance, and you want me to go to sleep? Do you think I'm heartless? Get away!"
"Try letting me walk away again?"
"How am I supposed to leave if you don't get out of the way? Do you think you can stop me? I hate it when you boss me around like this!"
"Hate me? Say it again?" The man's face had turned ashen.
Siyi stubbornly raised her chin, "I don't want to say anymore, but I won't take back what I said. You heard it clearly. Don't think that just because we're married and registered, you can act so recklessly."
"Ye Siyi!"
"Jiang Yan, come back!"
The two went back and forth, vying for dominance, neither willing to give in.
Deep down, they both knew that Ye Zhenghao was the root cause of their fierce argument, but it wasn't entirely because of him. They were both struggling to maintain a semblance of tolerance and understanding, yet each felt the other was being utterly unreasonable. Siyi, always an independent woman, had indeed been a bit irritable lately, but she was genuinely worried about Ye Zhenghao. Jiang Yan, on the other hand, had always yielded to Siyi, but when he thought about Ye Zhenghao, he felt like a fool. To Lin Zhenbiao, he seemed like nothing more than a clown, while he had gone to great lengths to protect Ye Zhenghao.
He admitted that he was not a petty man, but how can one control feelings?
He felt that Siyi didn't understand him and didn't really consider things from his perspective, so he didn't even want to coax her anymore.
"Can't you think about me for once, think about how I feel!" Jiang Yan's voice was genuinely angry and calculating. Looking into her eyes, she asked, "You left without a second thought back then, and today you're making such a scene with me because of Ye Zhenghao, and you still haven't thought about me."
The words "You never thought about me" completely agitated and saddened Siyi.
Didn't she think about him?
If she never thought about him, she wouldn't have had to endure so much!
She awkwardly shook off his hand, and this time she didn't want to say another word. She turned around and ran out the front door.
