Chapter 171 Brother's Here, Don't Be Afraid
Spain, afternoon, a blinding heatwave outside the window.
It's much hotter here than in Haicheng.
It makes people feel irritable.
A black sedan drives smoothly through the streets of Madrid.
The assistant, sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated for a moment before turning to look at the man in the back seat and whispering, "Mr. Jiang, back home, Madam sent me a message at noon asking about your situation."
Jiang Wang, who was sitting in the back seat, paused when he heard this, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in his eyes. He was holding a document between his fingers.
It was barely perceptible, but Fang Yan, who was standing beside him, had sharp eyes and saw everything clearly.
He chuckled, leaned back in his chair, and said with a hint of mockery, "You're really heartless. You just left like that, leaving her alone in the country without even a word of explanation? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have told you about her meeting with Song Yan."
Jiang Wang looked up at the street scene flashing past the window, his gaze darkening: "You think I wanted this?"
He clenched his fingers, his knuckles turning slightly white. "She went to see Song Yan, more than once. I know all too well how hard it is to take back your true feelings when you like someone. Song Yan is sticking to her like a leech now. No one can guarantee that she won't fall for him again because of their past relationship."
Fang Yan paused for a moment, then frowned and hesitated before speaking, "Actually, that's not necessarily true. Si Yuan may seem soft-hearted, but she's more opinionated than anyone else. Back when things got so bad with the Song family, and Song Yan was helping Lin Shuangyu scheme against her, she didn't show any mercy. How could she possibly turn back?"
Jiang Wang fell silent.
He understood Si Yuan better than Fang Yan, since Fang Yan already knew the principles.
After a long silence, Jiang Wang slowly spoke: "Fang Yan, before I knew she had met Song Yan, I was preparing a marriage proposal for her."
He recalled the time he spent preparing a surprise for her at the winery; it had been a long time since he had put so much effort into preparing something.
Clearly, it's just one day away. If we just take Siyuan there the next day, everything will be perfect.
"I think even though she's about to marry me, I still can't let her down. A grand proposal would make her very happy."
He didn't want much; from beginning to end, all he wanted was her sincerity and her happiness.
It allows her to rely on me even a tiny bit when something happens.
But there was nothing there.
Whatever her purpose, she shouldn't have kept it a secret from me when she went to see Song Yan.
He wouldn't stop her from seeing whoever she wanted to see, so why not let him know?
Jiang Wang is also a human being; he can feel heartache, sadness, and injustice. Why can't she consider things from his perspective?
Jiang Wang closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, reverting to his usual cold demeanor.
"I'll explain everything to her when we get back."
He couldn't bear to leave her for too long, after all, she was a girl he had spent so much effort to win over.
He got angry for a moment, then he made up with himself.
The car door opened, and Jiang Wang got out first.
A hotel waiter quickly stepped forward to lead the way, and just as the group stepped onto the stairs, a burst of noisy laughter suddenly came from their side.
A red sports car suddenly stopped beside the hotel, the door opened, and several Spanish beauties in sexy long dresses jumped out.
One of the blonde girls turned around without noticing and bumped right into Jiang Wang's arm.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
The girl quickly took a step back and apologized rapidly in Spanish.
Immediately afterward, she looked up and saw Jiang Wang's face clearly, her gaze revealing undisguised fondness and scrutiny.
Jiang Wang frowned and subconsciously took a step back.
He lightly patted the cuff of his suit that had been bumped, his brows furrowing with obvious displeasure.
In the past, faced with such a minor incident, he might have smiled nonchalantly and casually made a joke to defuse the situation.
But I'm not in the mood today.
Before the girl could finish her apology, or even give her a chance to speak again, he stepped aside and started walking upstairs.
The oppressive atmosphere around him made his assistant and Fang Yan tacitly shut up and quickly follow.
Meanwhile, on the street corner opposite the hotel, inside an inconspicuous black sedan, someone was secretly taking photos with a camera.
...
Si Yuan can maintain her composure while working, but once she finishes her work and the surroundings become quiet, she falls into a numb state of waiting.
What are we waiting for?
She didn't know either.
Perhaps she'd wait until Jiang Wang could casually exchange a few words with her, until he gave her a reason, whether true or false, she would believe him.
But even two days later, Jiang Wang still hadn't sent any news.
Si Yuan would rather be busier than waste time and let her overthink things.
After getting off work, Si Yuan walked downstairs, her assistant following her with a big smile.
She jokingly asked, "Sister Si, why hasn't your handsome husband come to pick you up these past few days?"
Jiang Wang used to arrive at the door almost every day on time, which made several young women in the design department so envious that they wanted to find a boyfriend right there.
Upon hearing this, Si Yuan's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly covered it up: "He's been busy lately, he's away on a business trip."
Those few simple words seemed to have exhausted all her strength. The empty space in her heart ached again, filled with the pain of the evening breeze.
"Oh, I see... Then he must miss you terribly. After all, he loves you so much, and you're getting married soon. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, hehe..."
Si Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth but didn't say anything.
Yes, he loves himself very much, even his assistant knows that.
That's why Si Yuan likes him so much.
But why does it seem like I don't love you anymore?
Just as the assistant was about to say something more, Si Yuan suddenly frowned, and her face instantly paled.
A sharp, dragging pain came from her lower abdomen, so painful that she couldn't straighten up.
She instinctively clutched her stomach, and staggered.
The assistant was startled and quickly reached out to support her, her voice panicked, "Sister Si! What's wrong?"
“It’s nothing…” Si Yuan bit her lip, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead. “My stomach hasn’t been feeling well these past few days, probably because I haven’t been getting enough rest.”
She tried to stand up, but the pain became increasingly intense.
The scene before my eyes began to blur, and the assistant's voice gradually faded into the distance.
Just then, an anxious male voice suddenly came from behind: "Xiao Yuan!"
Before Si Yuan could even turn around and see who it was, her consciousness seemed to be pulled away, everything went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
In the instant she felt weightless, she fell into a warm embrace.
Song Yan picked her up steadily, and seeing her pale face, he panicked instantly and hurriedly carried her into the car.
He quickly walked around to the driver's seat, slammed on the gas, and the car sped towards the nearest hospital.
He turned around and saw Si Yuan clutching her stomach, groggily crying out in pain, looking helpless and aggrieved.
That sight made Song Yan's heart ache so much that it almost clenched into a ball.
"Si Yuan, stay awake! Your brother is here. Your brother will not let anything happen to you. Don't be afraid!"
