Chapter 59 Past Events
59
(I made a small change at the end of the previous chapter, please take note.)
After Ridmund said those words, Jiang Siyu knew that Bo Siye would definitely ask her that question.
“It’s all in the past,” Jiang Siyu replied, not wanting to recall that period in detail.
"Is it really over?" Bo Siye took a step forward, lowering his eyes to lock them tightly around Jiang Siyu's eyes.
"If it's all in the past, why is the closest thing we do after we reconcile just to sleep in each other's arms?"
“Ayu…” Bo Siye pressed closer and closer, not giving Jiang Siyu a chance to avoid his gaze, until her back was against the wall and she had nowhere to retreat.
Bo Siye bowed and looked at her, "You're not someone who can control your desires."
Jiang Siyu was clearly lusting after his body.
"..."
In Ping Qi's line of sight, Jiang Siyu saw a beast struggling to break through the thick fog in Bo Siye's eyes.
She closed her eyes and turned her head, trying to ignore Bo Siye's overly aggressive gaze, but the moment she tilted her head, Bo Siye's hand clamped down on her chin.
There is no way to avoid it.
Jiang Siyu never liked the feeling of being controlled, so she was somewhat annoyed by Bo Siye's actions.
“That past has nothing to do with you after we broke up, and I don’t think you need to know it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Siye's pupils seemed to contract for a moment.
He let go of her hand weakly.
Jiang Siyu always knew where to stab him to cause him the most pain.
Having regained her freedom, Jiang Siyu turned to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by a person covered in shadows.
Then Jiang Siyu heard Bo Siye ask, "I didn't agree to break up, so how can it be that we're not related?!"
"Didn't you break up with me?" Jiang Siyu turned to look at him, Bo Siye's eyes were full of astonishment.
"I suggested it?"
"Not you?" Jiang Siyu observed Bo Siye's expression, but found that there was no trace of lying on his face.
Jiang Siyu recalled the scene that day: "On the third day after we argued, you sent me a message that said, 'Jiang Siyu... happy breakup.'"
"impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?" Jiang Siyu pressed.
Bo Siye's denial was so firm that Jiang Siyu couldn't help but wonder if there was some misunderstanding involved.
“At that time,” Bo Siye began, but then fell into an eerie silence.
"So, what was it back then?" Jiang Siyu had a feeling that Bo Siye was hiding something big from her, but before she could press him further, Bo Siye said:
"nothing."
He released Jiang Siyu's hand: "I will find out the truth and give you an explanation."
"I don't need an explanation. I just want to know, if you didn't initiate the breakup, then who did?"
"Bo Siye, tell me the answer!"
The answer was right in front of her; Jiang Siyu just wanted to know the result.
Bo Siye is right, she can't get over it.
She could embrace and kiss Bo Siye in a self-deceptive way because of her needs, but that was all they could go.
Not only did Bo Siye realize the problem between them, but Jiang Siyu was also very clear about it.
The solution is to figure out what misunderstanding exists between the two.
But Bo Siye didn't speak; he just stared at Jiang Siyu with a pained and repressed gaze.
One second, two seconds... Jiang Siyu completely lost her patience.
"This is the first and last time. I won't ask again." With that, Jiang Siyu lifted her skirt and turned away.
Does the answer matter to Jiang Siyu?
important.
Because she couldn't let go of Bo Siye.
But it's not that important.
Jiang Siyu has now learned to love herself, so it doesn't matter if the misunderstanding can't be cleared up.
It's true that she needs Bo Siye's presence, but she can also just have him by her side.
The alluring fishtail skirt swayed as Jiang Siyu turned around. Bo Siye watched her decisive turn, and the strands of hair she threw up also revealed her resolute nature.
Bo Siye finally spoke.
"Because I was unconscious at the time, it was impossible for me to send you a message."
Jiang Siyu abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Bo Siye stared at her back as she walked away, his heart aching: "That day, after you left, I regretted telling you 'Don't come back,' but I couldn't get through to you on the phone, I couldn't contact you."
"I was afraid you really wouldn't come back, so I drove after you."
“Ayu, I was in a car accident that day.”
"When I regained consciousness, four days had passed since our argument. The first thing I did when I woke up was to message you, but you had deleted me. My phone was also unreachable, and I couldn't contact you."
"By the time I was able to get out of bed and go home, everything that belonged to you in the house had disappeared."
"Ayu, you don't want me anymore..."
The voice behind me was low and soft, yet it concealed a suffocating pain.
The last line, "You don't want me anymore," conveys an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
Jiang Siyu's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched and unclenched several times.
They are different; their experiences and feelings are completely different.
This was the first time Jiang Siyu had faced this past directly, but the past that Bo Siye spoke of was completely different from what she knew.
Ignoring her tear-blurred vision, Jiang Siyu turned to face Bo Siye.
He stood under the lamplight, yet it was as if he were shrouded in endless darkness.
His eyes were downcast, as if even his carefully styled hair was drooping.
Jiang Siyu couldn't see his face clearly, but she could sense his sadness.
"I didn't abandon you."
Jiang Siyu lifted her foot and walked towards him.
"At that time, it was the most critical period for the succession of the Arnault family. The project team I joined was Frederick's. In order to prevent other members of the Arnault family from finding out about the project, everyone on the project team signed a confidentiality agreement."
"During work hours, all our communication devices are confiscated. So I can't reply to your messages on time, but I try my best to reply to you during my breaks."
"I went home that day because the project had reached its most critical stage, requiring me to stay at the company for an extended period of time to conduct research. So I went back to pack my bags."
“You were very angry that day, and I didn’t understand why. I thought I had made things very clear to you before I got busy. That project is very important to me.”
Jiang Siyu needs to become an irreplaceable core member under Frederick, and needs to rely on the power of the Anno family to return to China in a high position.
Only by standing in the same position as Jiang Dingbang, or even higher, can Jiang Siyu avoid being stopped by him from doing what she wants to do.
They won't be thrown abroad like trash by him anymore.
Jiang Siyu didn't tell Bo Siye the specific reason, but perhaps she should have told him, so that Bo Siye wouldn't be angry.
Even if time could be turned back, Jiang Siyu would not be able to tell him everything that happened in the Jiang family.
Even she herself doesn't want to face that experience.
The person in front of me, with misty tears welling up in their eyes, seemed to have transformed back into the boy who hysterically questioned Jiang Siyu.
But his expression now lacked the anger and resentment of years past; instead, it showed unease about what was about to happen.
Jiang Siyu raised her index finger and took away the tears that had gathered at the corner of his eye.
"After I got back to the studio and finished my work, I immediately sent you a message, but you didn't reply."
"I sent you so many messages, but you didn't reply to a single one." Jiang Siyu slowly rubbed the thin, unrestrained tears on her fingers until they disappeared.
"On the third day after our argument, you sent me a message saying 'Happy breakup' and then deleted and blocked me, and also blocked my phone number."
“I didn’t say we should break up. Besides, I haven’t seen any of the messages you sent me, not a single one.” Bo Siye shook his head; how could he bear to break up with her?
