Chapter 197 I absolutely cannot lose her
Si Yuan's gaze lingered on the table for a few seconds.
The table was laden with food, all of which looked like her favorite dishes from the past.
Her throat tightened, and she felt even more confused. "I..."
"sit."
Jiang Wang simply asked her to sit down and eat.
Si Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still walked over and sat down.
She picked up the knife and fork, only to find her hands trembling slightly.
She asked, "What were you doing there last night?"
After a pause, he asked, "And actually... you didn't need to bring me back, my friend was there at the time."
Jiang Wang didn't answer, but simply pushed the milk in front of her. "I drank quite a bit last night, have some hot milk first."
She lowered her head and took a sip. The warm milk slid down her throat, and her stomach did feel much better.
"Let's talk after we finish eating."
His gaze fell on her face, a half-smile playing on his lips. "You look so silly now, exactly the same as when you were eighteen."
Si Yuan was stunned, not expecting him to bring this up suddenly.
So many years have passed, and she can no longer remember many things from when she was eighteen.
Lin Shuangyu is dead, and Song Yan and he can never go back to the way things were.
It seems like I've let go of everything.
Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang... became a permanent scar on her heart.
It doesn't hurt, and sometimes I even forget about it, as if it never happened.
But even she herself didn't know that now that she saw it, the wound started to hurt again.
She suppressed her sadness, lowered her head to eat breakfast, but felt that every bite was filled with an indescribable bitterness.
Just after we finished eating, Jiang Wang handed me a glass of warm water. "The medicine is in there; it'll help with the hangover."
Si Yuan was slightly taken aback.
He suddenly became very, very good, just like when we first met five years ago.
Si Yuan took it, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What I said that day was actually clear enough, and besides, things got so ugly afterwards..."
Jiang Wang closed his eyes briefly, as if suppressing some emotion, and asked in a low voice, "Then you want me to watch you all alone by the roadside?"
Si Yuan shook his head.
At this moment, she couldn't accept being taken care of all night and then be so ungrateful.
But she still didn't want to look at him any longer.
That one glance felt like it would burn her; she was afraid her defenses would crumble in that eye contact.
Jiang Wang stared at her profile, his voice deepening: "Are you angry about what I said that day?"
Si Yuan didn't say anything.
A brief silence fell over the air.
Jiang Wang seemed to sigh, then suddenly spoke—
"sorry."
He suddenly apologized.
Si Yuan's fingers paused, and she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was also looking at himself.
She felt a slight prick in her heart, but quickly tightened her grip, preventing the emotion from spreading.
"You don't need to apologize." She looked away, her voice indifferent. "Actually, you didn't say anything wrong."
She was meant to be alone.
She has wronged everyone.
Anyway, I've received so much criticism since I was a child, one more person won't make a difference.
She no longer cared whether anyone liked her or cared about her.
As long as her beloved Xiaozhou grows up healthy, that's all that matters.
Thinking about this, Si Yuan suddenly didn't feel so sad anymore.
She smiled and looked at Jiang Wang frankly, "I should go back now. You're not alone anymore. Don't worry about me next time. This will avoid a lot of misunderstandings."
Jiang Wang raised his eyes and looked at her face, as if he could see through all her defenses.
He knew what she was afraid of, and said directly, "That's not my child."
Si Yuan's hand stopped, and she looked at him in astonishment.
Jiang Wang ate his breakfast slowly, as if stating something insignificant, "It's Jiang Shu's. I was just helping her take care of it for a few days, and I've already sent it back."
Si Yuan was stunned.
He's not married? And he doesn't have children?
But Song Yan said...
Why did Jiang Wang lie?
Why did Song Yan also lie?
——
Song Yan couldn't get through to Si Yuan on the phone, and he was so anxious that he waited outside Si Yuan's house all night.
As a result, she didn't return by car until early morning.
He rushed over almost immediately, his voice full of worry, "Jiang Wen told me that you left with someone else last night. Who was it? Jiang Wang?"
Si Yuan looked tired, her eyes reflecting the weariness of the night before.
She looked at him without answering, and instead asked, "Song Yan, how did you know that child was Jiang Wang's?"
Song Yan was taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly ask about this.
He avoided her gaze and casually replied, "I heard it from a friend in Haicheng."
Si Yuan was taken aback, looking at Song Yan with a slight surprise.
I also realized something in my heart.
She began to doubt more and more of what Song Yan had told her, so she quietly looked at Song Yan without saying a word.
That look made Song Yan feel a little guilty, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Si Yuan finally came to her senses.
She gently shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just too tired these past few days and want to rest."
She stepped aside to walk around him and opened the door with her fingerprint.
Now that Zhang Ma has taken Si Xingzhou to kindergarten, she can finally get some rest.
Song Yan was still worried, so he followed Si Yuan inside.
The air in the living room carried the coolness of the morning, and the sunlight from outside the window had not yet fully penetrated.
He stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said urgently, "You still haven't answered me, did Jiang Wang take you away?"
Si Yuan lowered her head, looking at his hand with a gaze as cold as ice.
Song Yan then realized his lapse in composure, abruptly withdrew his hand, and lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yuan, I was just... too worried about you."
Si Yuan reminded him with her eyes.
They have no relationship whatsoever, so don't cross the line.
Then, without looking at him again, she turned around and walked upstairs alone.
The shadow of the stairs stretched her silhouette long, slender and frail.
Si Yuan must have something on her mind; Song Yan could tell at a glance.
It started last night.
Jiang Wang took her away last night, and they... made up?
Over the years, although Si Yuan had always been cold to him and had no intention of accepting or forgiving him, at least she tacitly allowed him to stay by her side.
Song Yan believed that time would gradually wear down her defenses and allow her to accept him again.
Therefore, he was even more careful and restrained when facing Si Yuan, afraid that he might cross the line and push her away completely.
Five years have passed, and things are finally getting better little by little.
Finally, Gao Xing gradually integrated into Si Yuan's life. She was no longer afraid of herself, nor did she hate herself...
But now—Jiang Wang has appeared.
The name was like a needle pricking his heart, making him suddenly feel afraid and even feel that things were getting out of control.
Song Yan felt that something he had been guarding for a long time was about to be lost.
He took out his phone and called his assistant, his voice cold and deep: "Find out where Si Yuan went last night, what kind of car she took, and who she was with. Find out everything!"
He answered the phone and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yan slowly raised his head and looked at Si Yuan's room on the second floor, his obsession and fear growing stronger.
He can't lose her.
Absolutely not.
