Chapter 204: Crash
The deep male voice on the other end of the phone reached Siyi's ears through the airwaves; it was a voice she recognized: "It's me."
Siyi was instantly wide awake. She instinctively gripped her phone and jumped out of bed. "Senior brother, it really is you!"
"What's wrong? Are you so surprised to receive my call?"
Zheng Muyan chuckled softly on the other end of the phone. He hadn't expected that calling this girl would elicit such a surprised and delighted response, and he was naturally pleased as well.
Thinking back to this parting, the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month. He had been busy dealing with his own affairs in S City, and only yesterday did he unexpectedly see the report about the Jiang family's accident in the newspaper. That's why he thought of calling her. But judging from her tone now, it seemed that there was nothing seriously wrong.
Siyi, however, was unaware that Zheng Muyan had only called her after seeing the news; she had assumed Ye Zhenghao had informed him. Knowing that Jiang Yanhui might not return for some time, she chose to keep the conversation brief, "Senior brother, did my elder brother contact you?"
The last time Siyi saw Zheng Muyan was when Ye Xiongming was undergoing surgery. At that time, Zheng Muyan told her his true identity, and Siyi was indeed a little shocked. Later, when he left, she wrote a note for him and left without saying goodbye.
Looking back now, it was she who told him to go back to his own life and stop thinking about her, but in the end, it was she who took the initiative to contact him.
However, she had no other options at the moment.
"Zhenghao? He hasn't contacted me. What's wrong?"
Zheng Muyan's words interrupted her thoughts. Siyi was taken aback, and then heard Zheng Muyan say, "Siyi, I've always remembered what you told me. You hoped I wouldn't contact you anymore. Actually, I didn't mean to bother you this time. It's just... I saw the news in City A. Something big happened to the Jiang family. I was afraid you might be in trouble, so I called you."
So that's how it is. She realized that City A was quite a distance from City S, so how could her brother possibly have time to rush to City S to find Zheng Muyan? It was just a coincidence.
Siyi felt a little embarrassed. She thought for a moment, then finally took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, actually... I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Zheng Muyan answered almost without hesitation, "Siyi, are you having some kind of trouble? Is it related to Jiang Yanhui? Tell me, and I will definitely help you if I can."
"I'm indeed facing some difficulties right now, senior brother. It's hard to explain over the phone. I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to make this request. If you have time, could you come to City A? I'd like to see you."
When Siyi spoke, she was standing by the window with her back to the door. After she finished speaking, she felt something was amiss. Before Zheng Muyan on the other end of the phone could say anything, she keenly sensed a kind of oppressive, cold current uneasily floating in the air. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously turned around. In an instant, she saw Jiang Yanhui standing in the doorway with a ferocious expression, like a man-eating demon.
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she forced back the scream that was about to burst out of her throat, but she was still so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She wasn't sure if Jiang Yan had heard what she had just said. She composed herself, then turned her head slightly and lowered her voice to say to Zheng Muyan on the other end of the phone, "...I have something to do here, let's talk next time." Before the other end could say anything more, she hung up the phone.
She knew she was feeling guilty. Jiang Yan's gaze was as cold as ice that had been frozen for a thousand years. She instinctively dared not meet his eyes and could only look away. She didn't know what to say. For a moment, the two of them stood facing each other across a huge bed, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air, making her extremely uneasy.
Jiang Yan stared intently at Si Yi. Actually, he had already heard her phone ringing when he entered the house. He had drunk a glass of water in the kitchen, which sobered him up considerably, but he didn't expect to hear her voice as soon as he entered the room. He naturally heard everything she said afterward.
He hadn't expected that she would go back to Zheng Muyan for help and even ask to meet him... Hadn't Zheng Muyan already left City A? How come they were still in contact? So, she had already found a backup plan. Then what was he to her?
A surge of anger welled up in his chest. He pressed one hand against the doorframe, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. His face was expressionless, his eyes cold as if shrouded in a thousand-year-old chill. All reason was being slowly devoured by that cold light, until only an endless rage remained, a rage that wanted nothing more than to devour everything in the world.
Siyi felt a chill run down her spine under Jiang Yanhui's undisguisedly cold gaze. She pursed her lips, thinking that just standing there staring at each other was pointless. But the moment she moved, Jiang Yanhui, who had been standing in the doorway, strode towards her. Siyi instinctively took a step back, but Jiang Yanhui grabbed her shoulder, and Siyi slammed heavily against the floor-to-ceiling window behind her with a thud. She winced in pain, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"Who are you calling?" Jiang Yan ignored him and asked in a gloomy tone.
As soon as he approached, Siyi could smell the strong odor of alcohol on him. So he'd been drinking. Just looking at his bloodshot eyes, she knew he'd had quite a bit to drink. She instinctively turned her face away, not intending to deny it. Judging from his expression, he'd probably heard everything. "You heard everything, so why are you asking me? Is this funny? Jiang Yanhui, are you drunk? Go take a shower..."
Siyi pushed Jiang Yanhui away and tried to leave, but Jiang Yanhui pressed her against the floor-to-ceiling glass window and kissed her heavily. However, this was not a kiss at all; it was his venting of dissatisfaction. Siyi knew she had angered him, and it was also her own bad luck that she had been here for so long and had made a phone call that he overheard. She couldn't push him away, and with each movement, she felt the pressure on his lips deepen. Eventually, the pain became so intense that she was almost numb. How could she dare to struggle anymore? She knew that the more she resisted, the less likely he would let her go. She groaned and completely gave up struggling.
Jiang Yanhui had intended to punish her when he kissed her. She struggled and resisted halfway through, so he used even more force to make her submit. But when she finally leaned softly into his arms, he seemed to lower his guard.
Her lips were so soft, so beautiful, like the sweetest pudding, always making one lose themselves with just a touch. He used to love every part of her body; holding her felt like holding the whole world. Actually, he hadn't touched her for several days. His physical desire surged up suddenly, and coupled with the alcohol, his earlier anger was largely replaced by her current softness and gentleness. His head was hot, his body even hotter, and without a word, he picked up Siyi, strode back to the bedroom, and threw her onto the bed.
Siyi sprang out of bed, instantly becoming much more awake. She watched as the tall, slender figure straddled her legs, one hand pressing down on her breasts, squeezing them hard and shaping them into various forms. His other hand was busy pulling at his own collar; since unbuttoning with one hand was too troublesome, he simply yanked it, and the shirt buttons clattered off onto the floor…
Siyi jolted awake, realizing what he was about to do.
"You...get away, don't touch me! Don't touch me!" She kicked him, her expression not only one of resistance but also one of panic.
Jiang Yan was really drunk today, so he didn't know his own strength. Just as he was about to take off her pants with red eyes, she suddenly kicked him on the head.
The anger that hadn't completely subsided in his chest now burned even more fiercely. He gave a cold laugh and pounced on him with his tall body.
She nervously tried to hit her face with her hands, but he grabbed her hands with one hand and raised them above her head, while lifting her clothes with the other and tying a knot around her wrist.
Siyi was wearing a slightly stretchy t-shirt today, and her hands were tied up so tightly that she couldn't break free.
Jiang Yan's scarlet eyes were like sharp knives, piercing her eyes deeply. His smile was no longer the wicked charm of the past, but cold and almost ferocious. "You're struggling so hard because you don't like me touching you?"
Siyi knew she had crossed his line, but she couldn't care less about that now. All she could think about was that she was pregnant and absolutely couldn't let him do that to her. She twisted her body anxiously and shook her head desperately, her voice trembling with fear, "...Jiang Yanhui, don't touch me, go away, do you hear me? Don't touch me, you've had too much to drink, you're drunk, go away!"
Jiang Yan smiled softly, then lifted Si Yi's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "Right now, I actually wish I were drunk."
"Ye Siyi, I really didn't expect this. You're really something. You've only just arrived here, and you're already in such a hurry to call your ex-lover. Are you planning to call for reinforcements?"
