Chapter 268 I Have Abs Too
As soon as Siyi's hand touched the doorknob, she immediately felt something was wrong. A dark figure loomed over her from behind. The long corridor was lit by orange lights, which stretched the two figures into an elongated shape, and then they overlapped.
That alluring scent seemed to be right next to her ear, one beat after another. With each heartbeat, Siyi felt as if the blood in her body was flowing backward. Her hand trembled involuntarily, and she didn't immediately push open the door. She turned around and was about to say something when a large hand reached out and gently grasped her hand, which was still on the doorknob.
The warmth of the scorching palms traveled to her skin, then spread throughout her body. Siyi's breath hitched, as if even her fingertips were burning with an unbearable heat. She heard Jiang Yan's deep voice gently ask, "Why don't you open the door?"
"What are you doing?" Siyi suddenly came to her senses, bit her lip and pushed Jiang Yanhui away. As if to cover up her inexplicable panic, she pretended to be loud and said, "Jiang Yanhui, I didn't come to see you. Don't follow me. Stay away from me."
"Are you so afraid of me getting close to you?" Her angry rebuke didn't faze him at all. His thin lips curved into a slight smile, his eyes gentle as water, yet he deliberately moved closer to her. "Sisi, are you nervous?"
Siyi admitted that she was indeed a little flustered, but while she admitted it in her heart, she naturally wouldn't admit it aloud.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Stay away from me!"
She was somewhat embarrassed and angry, so she pushed him away and turned around to open the door. Unfortunately, as soon as she stepped into the room, the persistent man behind her couldn't wait to stretch out his long legs and follow her into the room.
"Jiang Yanhui, you..." Before Siyi could finish speaking, she heard Jiang Yanhui slam the door shut.
In an instant, only the two of them remained in the entryway.
Siyi looked at him with extra caution, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. Why was his gaze so strange? That look… it seemed familiar. What… what did this man want?
"What are you trying to do? I didn't tell you to come in. I told you to stay away from me!" She was even more furious, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said through gritted teeth. She then turned her face to the empty living room and called the child's name twice, but there was no response.
Siyi paused for only two seconds before realizing what was happening. She looked at Jiang Yan incredulously, "You're lying to me? The child isn't here? What are you trying to do?"
“My baby is so smart. I thought you would at least go inside and search around.”
Jiang Yan reached out and gently touched her temple, raising one eyebrow. "Baby, don't be nervous. Do you think I'd eat you? I let you in because I have something to tell you."
Siyi's gaze flickered slightly and landed precisely on Jiang Yan's black Hermes belt.
She pursed her lips. "Didn't you just say you were busy? Why couldn't you tell me over the phone? You had to use the child to lie to me. You're really going too far!"
"I've always wanted to tell you this, but you didn't want to listen, did you?"
He slowly took a step closer to her. Siyi wanted to back away, but it was too late. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.
Finally, he habitually pinned her against the wall within his sphere of influence, looking down at the top of her dark hair, and sighed softly, "Can I make everything clear today? You can hit me or scold me if you want, but after I've explained what I want to explain, I won't fight back or talk back."
Siyi felt a slight tightness in her throat and couldn't speak for a moment.
Jiang Yanhui assumed her brief silence was an admission and was overjoyed. Fearing she might suddenly change her mind, he blurted out, "Okay, then I'll take that as a yes."
His long, slender fingers gently cupped her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, and he said, word by word, "Sisi, about what happened five years ago, I admit I made a lot of mistakes. I didn't trust you, and I hurt you so easily. I apologize. After you left, I investigated and found out a lot of things. I know you didn't lie to me back then; I was just being presumptuous, and I deserved it. But there's one thing I have to make clear to you: regarding Tiantian's defect, I actually foresaw it back then, which is why I told you to abort the child."
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and a deep pain flashed across her eyes.
It's not that I really know nothing.
After giving birth to Beibei and Tiantian, she discovered that Tiantian couldn't speak. At that time, she was almost frantic, searching everywhere for doctors to ask.
But Tian Tian just wouldn't open her mouth to speak, and it was only after the examination that they discovered her hearing in her right ear was also zero. That feeling of devastation is something she will never forget.
It truly felt like falling from heaven to hell in an instant, and never being able to climb out again.
She consulted many renowned doctors, and the final conclusion was that the child had a congenital disability while still in the womb due to certain medications.
She has been very careful since she became pregnant. She doesn't even drink colored beverages and keeps her distance from electronic products. How could she let Tian Tian have such a defect?
Later, she took Tiantian to see many famous doctors, and finally it was determined that something similar to a soft poison was what caused her daughter's illness.
Actually, she wasn't completely ignorant. She had worried when Jiang Yan started smoking like that, but she never expected it to turn into a tragedy.
Hearing him say this now, she was even more certain of her suspicions over the years.
But even so, so what?
Tian Tian is as she always is; she'll never get better. And no matter how much he tries to explain later, it won't change anything.
"Sisi?"
Seeing that she remained silent, her eyes lowered, long eyelashes concealing all emotions, Jiang Yan felt a growing unease and couldn't help but call out, "Answer me, hmm?"
.........
Still silent.
Jiang Yan finally couldn't resist reaching out. He was about to touch her chin when she suddenly raised her face, her eyes calm, her voice even more so, "Now that you've explained, can you tell me where Beibei and Tiantian are?"
"Sisi..."
"President Jiang, where is my child?"
She was acting so indifferent again, and Jiang Yan couldn't help but curse under her breath. She quickly closed her eyes to calm the burning sensation in her heart. "Sisi, can you please stop? I apologize. I didn't really abandon you and the child back then. It's just that I smoked too much cigarettes, and there were some things I had specially mixed in them, so I knew it was bad for the child..."
"What do you think will change by telling me all this now?"
Siyi stopped dodging. "Many things have already come to this. Five years have passed, and my child and I have gotten used to it. Telling me this now won't help at all, do you understand? It's not like you, President Jiang, can just say sorry and erase everything that happened like chalk writing. Can you erase it? Even if you do, there will still be traces. Do you understand?"
“I don’t understand!” Jiang Yan replied instantly, his full forehead slightly raised, making him quite handsome. His expression was serious. “I know you’re still angry, so I’m giving you time. I said, you can hit me or scold me as you please…”
"Do you think I'm like you? Sorry, I'm not used to hitting people!" She still harbored resentment over that slap from back then; how could she forget it? At that time, she wholeheartedly wanted to be with him, but his slap destroyed all her feelings.
Jiang Yanhui naturally understood her words, "I knew you were angry. I slapped you back then, and you still hate me, right? Then hit me!"
As he spoke, he shamelessly grabbed her hand and slapped it against his cheek.
Siyi was completely unprepared. When he pulled her like that, she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but in the back and forth, she didn't know who let go first. The next second, she heard a crisp snap and felt a slight numbness in her fingertips. She looked up in surprise and saw Jiang Yanhui grimacing and covering his face.
"You brat, you actually had the heart to hit me!"
Siyi didn't know why. She hadn't actually intended to hit him, but he was the one who had grabbed her hand. So why did she look like she was the one who had suffered a loss?
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she saw Jiang Yan press down on her shoulder blade with one hand and reach down with the other to unbutton the platinum buttons hidden in his waistband. One by one, the man's chest blossomed with spring colors because of this action.
Five years ago, he was already in excellent shape. After five years, it's clear that he hasn't slacked off on his workouts at all.
With only three buttons undone, six-pack abs were revealed, the skin tone healthy and alluring, and the abdomen taut.
Siyi's cheeks burned instantly. His words and actions changed so quickly that she was caught off guard. At this moment, she frowned and didn't even know where to put her hands. She could only turn her face away and ask, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yan glanced at her rosy cheeks in profile, a slight smile playing on his lips. He tossed the shirt he was holding to his feet and grabbed Si Yi's delicate chin with his large hand.
He turned her face to face, forcing her to confront the erotic scene before her.
Siyi struggled angrily, "Jiang Yan, go back!"
"So you're not calling me President Jiang now?" Jiang Yan chuckled softly, cutting her off. His tall body pressed down on her inch by inch, pinning her beneath him.
Those sexy, thin lips, warm with a teasing touch, gently brushed against her sensitive earlobe, but his tone was clearly tinged with a hint of sourness, "I heard you like men with eight-pack abs? Baby, look at me, I had six five years ago, and now I have eight. Aren't I just your type?"
