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

Chapter 285 My Heart Will Affect You

Siyi finished speaking in one breath, turned around and left, not seeing Yingrui still sitting in her seat. Her delicate face was now extremely ugly.

Her hands, resting on her knees, were clenched into tight fists, her perfectly manicured nails almost digging into her palms. Having been so humiliated, it was naturally difficult for her to maintain a pleasant expression. However, she had been utterly powerless to retaliate. She hadn't expected Ye Siyi to be so cunning; it seemed she had truly underestimated her.

Her gaze gradually turned fierce, and her once bright and lively eyes were now filled with a ruthlessness unbecoming of her age. No one knew that at this moment, a venomous snake was coiled around Ying Rui's heart, hissing and spitting venom. That venom had seeped deep into her heart, into every part of her body, and into her internal organs, and could never be completely removed.

Ye Siyi, what right does she have to talk to me like that?

How dare she lecture me?

She'll definitely teach her a lesson!

She took out her phone, dialed a number very quickly, and as soon as the other end answered, she coldly ordered, "I want to see results by tomorrow on the things I asked you to do before!"

My initially gloomy mood suddenly lifted after leaving the restaurant. Sometimes you have to admit that when you're sad or upset, you need to find an outlet.

Once you've released all that negative emotion, your mood will brighten up.

Siyi hailed a taxi, and only after getting in did she call Ye Zhenghao to confirm his location. She then immediately told the driver to go there.

Siyi had already guessed how special Ye Zhenghao's identity was now, but she hadn't expected that in just one night, there would already be several black cars parked in front of the hotel.

Judging from the license plates, she knew these cars weren't from B city, but from another city. Looking at the unique license plate numbers, she guessed that these cars were probably there to pick up her older brother.

She went straight to the floor where Ye Zhenghao lived. As soon as she got off the elevator, she saw two plainclothes policemen standing at the door of Ye Zhenghao's room. Because they looked familiar, she recognized them as the same people who had been with her brother for five years. They also recognized Siyi.

"Miss Ye?"

Siyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Is my brother inside?"

The two exchanged a glance, and one of them said to Siyi, "Director Ye is inside, but a few people just came in to report something to him. They should be in the study. Miss Ye, would you like to go in and wait for a while?"

"Okay." Siyi said thank you, pushed open the door and went inside.

Ye Zhenghao's status is different now, but his taste is still similar. The room he chose wasn't the best one. In fact, he used to be a very simple person who valued his job as a policeman more than his own life. Now that he has risen through the ranks, he hasn't forgotten his original intention.

Siyi sat on the sofa in the living room of the business suite for a while, and after about twenty minutes, she saw the door to the study be opened and several uniformed men come out.

Ye Zhenghao walked at the very back. He was tall and upright, and although he was wearing simple casual clothes, he was still very dignified and had a dignified and upright appearance.

"...Director Ye, we'll head back now. We'll let you know as soon as we have any news from them."

Ye Zhenghao nodded, and his gaze swept to Siyi. He made an apologetic gesture to her, then leaned closer to the others and whispered a few words to them. After they left the room, he put away his arrogant demeanor and walked towards Siyi.

"Have you been waiting long?" He sat down opposite her, poured Siyi a glass of water, and handed it to her. "You don't look well. Did you not sleep well all night?"

"I'm very worried about Tiantian." There was no need for her to lie to Ye Zhenghao. She took a sip of water and said softly, "Jiang Yan should have just arrived in the United States. I don't know what the situation is like there."

"Didn't you call him?"

Siyi shook her head. "He said he would call me."

Ye Zhenghao nodded. "Siyi, if you're really worried, you can come with me. If you're worried about your son not being taken care of, you can leave him with me. I have quite a few people under me. Besides, I plan to stay in B City for the next few days and go back after Tiantian comes back."

Siyi knew that Ye Zhenghao stayed in B City because of her. Thinking about the cars downstairs just now, and now that he has even moved the conference room over, she still felt a little guilty. "Big brother, you are not as good as before. You are very busy. Actually, I have gotten used to being alone all these years, so it's okay for you to go back."

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me? Do you know how uncomfortable I feel every time you say that I've gotten used to being alone all these years?" Ye Zhenghao's sharp gaze, usually reserved for outsiders, now shone with the tenderness and affection of an older brother towards his younger sister when he looked at Siyi. "I am your older brother, but I didn't protect you properly when you needed me the most. I've always felt guilty about that."

"Brother, please stop saying these things to me."

Siyi forced a smile, not wanting to continue such a sad topic, so she casually changed the subject, "You've been busy with work these past few years, have you found a girlfriend yet?"

She didn't really know if she did it intentionally; it was just a subconscious thought that made her ask the question. But after she asked it, she naturally thought of the voice she heard when she called him after returning to the city that day, and she still had some doubts in her heart.

If the eldest brother really has someone he likes, does that mean he'll soon have a sister-in-law?

Ye Zhenghao's expression was indeed somewhat unnatural. Although it only lasted for a few seconds, Siyi's observation skills were always quite good, and she still managed to catch it.

She already had the answer in her heart, and the smile on her lips widened even more. "Brother, you're not getting any younger. I already have a child. It's time you found me a sister-in-law." She said half-jokingly, "Only if I have a sister-in-law will I feel at ease leaving my child in her care."

It was rare for Director Ye, who was always "impartial and incorruptible," to look a little uneasy now, teased by his own sister. Ye Zhenghao coughed twice and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Big brother, am I really talking nonsense?" Siyi asked with a pushy smile. "I know you too well, big brother. You must have a girl you like, right? Who is it? Tell me, do I know her?"

In my memory, Ye Zhenghao has hardly ever been around any women. Because of his work, it's unlikely that he'd meet any socialites or ladies. Back in his school days, he had many female suitors because of his good looks, but Ye Zhenghao wasn't interested in any of them. Over time, he remained single. Five years have passed, and he's now over thirty. It's time for him to settle down.

"Ahem, Siyi, if your brother wants to get married, he'll let you know."

Ye Zhenghao didn't want to deceive Siyi, so he didn't answer her question directly. But probably only he knew best that when Siyi mentioned the words "sister-in-law," a stubborn and proud little face flashed through his mind, causing him to involuntarily ask a strange question, "Back then, everyone opposed you and Jiang Yanhui, but you still insisted on being with him. Siyi, have you ever regretted it?"

Actually, as soon as this question came up, Ye Zhenghao regretted it. He had always felt that he was in the right position, but now, he was clearly pushing himself into that pit. Whether it was right or wrong, even he himself couldn't tell.

His heart skipped a beat. Was he really bewitched?

Siyi was also a little surprised, blinking her eyes and looking at Ye Zhenghao curiously, "Big brother, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Ye Zhenghao waved his hand, avoiding her gaze. "It's nothing, I just asked casually... well, I just wanted to ask since you're like this right now. Um... you don't have to answer if you don't want to..."

He was clearly being evasive. How could Siyi not know this older brother she had grown up with?

She thought that Ye Zhenghao was probably asking her this question because it was related to their relationship. She paused for a moment and then said very seriously, "Actually, there are many things in this world that people are powerless to change, and feelings are one of them. If our feelings were something we could give and take back at will, then I think we wouldn't be human."

As Siyi spoke, her hands were casually folded together, and her long eyelashes cast dark shadows under her eyes as her eyelids were lowered.

The orange light overhead shone on her face, making her look so serene and beautiful, even her voice seemed to come from a distant land—

how many years?

Her heart had never been so tender.

She has never regretted anything from back then. Over the years, she occasionally thinks back to the times they spent together, and although there were hardships, there were also sweet moments.

Siyi never denied that she avoided Jiang Yanhui not only because of his distrust back then, but more so because she had known five years ago that what separated her from him was not a mountain, but a world.

They could never be together, which is why she chose to leave without hesitation.

But do feelings really settle down over time?

If you've loved deeply and then cut it off abruptly, can it ever be rekindled?

"You still love him, don't you?" Ye Zhenghao saw that Siyi looked dazed, but her eyes were soft. How could he not see what she was thinking?

Siyi's heart sank. Before she could hide her emotions, she forced a smile and said, "Big brother, weren't we talking about you?"

"I have nothing to talk about."
