Chapter 167 Doubt
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yan interrupted him and told the waiter to bring the wine first.
He looked at Si Yuan and tentatively asked, "How are you? You don't look too good. Can you drink?"
Si Yuan casually replied, "Anything is fine."
Song Yan confirmed that Si Yuan still doesn't know she's pregnant.
This is a good thing.
His gaze darkened slightly, and he nodded.
After the drinks were poured, Si Yuan continued, "Why did you tell my boss about our past?"
Song Yan remained expressionless, showing no signs of nervousness or unease, as if he had anticipated that Si Yuan would ask this question.
He took a sip of his drink and said, "We just happened to chat about it."
"What right do you have to talk about me with her? Song Yan, haven't I made myself clear enough? We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
Si Yuan couldn't understand why Song Yan used her as a topic of conversation.
She said, "You're just playing the victim card to get him to cooperate, aren't you? Otherwise, why would he value the Song family so much?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yan was visibly taken aback.
After a moment, it commented, "Xiao Yuan, Jiang Wang has taught you to be very bad."
To the point that they think the worst of everyone and everything.
Si Yuan raised an eyebrow, taking it for granted that she wouldn't fall into his trap of self-justification: "I'm just telling the truth."
"I wasn't a bad person before, but what happened? Lin Shuangyu almost drove me to the brink of death. Now you're talking to others about my hateful past. Don't you think that's going too far?"
Song Yan nodded.
For him, this was the change in Si Yuan.
She wasn't like this before.
...
His throat bobbed slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and he said, "Take a sip, this wine is good."
Si Yuan was also a bit irritable, his mouth was dry from all the noise, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and prepared to drink.
Song Yan stared intently at Si Yuan.
If she drinks this wine, the child will not be born.
Once she drinks this glass of wine... she will be unable to have a child with Jiang Wang.
Song Yan was also unaware of the situation, so she wouldn't blame herself.
The cup was getting closer and closer to Si Yuan, and she was about to drink it. Song Yan's eyes darkened inch by inch.
"etc!"
Si Yuan paused, put down her wine glass slightly, and looked at Song Yan with a puzzled expression.
Song Yan's gaze fell on Si Yuan's face.
Because of this child, her complexion has been quite poor lately.
How painful is it to lose a child?
How much physical and mental torment will it cause?
Si Yuan has always been so afraid of pain.
He said he would never let her suffer again in his life.
Song Yan withdrew his gaze, grabbed her wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Si Yuan was slightly startled.
"The doctor said that day that you can't drink alcohol."
Si Yuan frowned, noticing that Song Yan's expression was somewhat strange.
She picked up another glass of water, took a sip, and continued, "So, I also ask you not to interfere in my life anymore."
Song Yan nodded: "So you called me here today to draw a line between us."
Si Yuan's throat tightened, but she did not refute.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. You think about it carefully."
Si Yuan got up and finally breathed a sigh of relief after coming outside.
She went into the restroom, and Fang Yan happened to pass by and saw her profile.
This is Fang Yan's restaurant.
Therefore, he knew perfectly well that the private room was the most expensive and top-of-the-line couples' room in the area.
He followed the private room Si Yuan had come from, hurriedly called over the manager, and asked, "Is this General Manager Jiang inside?"
Because apart from Jiang Wang, Si Yuan wouldn't come to the couple's private room with anyone else.
……Bar?
Having spent years in such top-tier restaurants, the manager knew all the important people in the place, and immediately and decisively confirmed: "No, it's Song Yan, the general manager of the Song Group."
Song Yan?
Why would Si Yuan and Song Yan eat in a private couple's room together?
Fang Yan felt like she had stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.
Big news: My best friend got cheated on.
Without the slightest hesitation, he sent a message to Jiang Wang.
"Your wife is on a date with Song Yan!"
He paused for a moment, then said, "That's it. I told you, your white moonlight is still there, you haven't changed your mind."
——
Si Yuan got home very late.
Aunt Zhang was busy clearing the table, but the food on it hadn't been eaten yet.
Si Yuan was somewhat surprised. While taking off her coat, she asked Zhang Ma, "Why did you suddenly make so much food?"
Jiang Wang has hardly come back these past few days. In the past, when she wasn't around, Zhang Ma wouldn't cook, let alone cook so much today.
When Zhang Ma saw Si Yuan return, her expression tightened before she said, "These were all brought back by Mr. Jiang. He was waiting for Madam to come back and eat them... Later, they got cold, so Mr. Jiang said to throw them away."
Jiang Wang is back?
Why didn't you call him?
Si Yuan felt a little nervous for a moment.
It was indeed a mistake for her to secretly meet with Song Yan.
Jiang Wang always liked to bring her meals that were hard to come by but that she enjoyed, but this time...
She adjusted her mindset, went upstairs, and pushed open the bedroom door, only to find that Jiang Wang was not there.
But she saw that the study light was on.
Si Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took a shower to feel less tired before going to the study.
Jiang Wang was indeed in the study.
Hearing Si Yuan's footsteps, he glanced up casually and smiled indifferently.
Si Yuan knew he must be unhappy that she hadn't come back.
She should try to comfort him.
"Why are you still busy?"
Before he even got close, Jiang Wang asked, "Where did you go today?"
His tone didn't change much; it was still indulgent and even gentle.
But... her eyes are cold.
Si Yuan is no longer going home. If Jiang Wang finds out that she is not going home because she went to see Song Yan, he will probably be even angrier.
She paused for a moment, then casually said, "I'm working overtime at the company."
Jiang Wang paused slightly in his grip on the pen, then took a deep breath: "Really? Meng Huaizhi assigned you so much work?"
Jiang Wang's gaze was strange; it seemed to fall casually on her face, but it inexplicably made her feel uneasy.
Perhaps he felt guilty.
He didn't ask himself why he hadn't come back, nor did he ask her if she had eaten; he must have been very angry.
She tried to make her tone sound natural: "Yes, the branch office has a few projects that need to be finished recently, and Mr. Meng is urging us to finish them."
Jiang Wang nodded, put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his knees, and gave a faint, emotionless smile.
He didn't mention the restaurant, Song Yan, or even ask any further questions. He simply added slowly, "Then you should definitely be busy. Don't let Meng Huaizhi down."
Looking at Jiang Wang's expression, Si Yuan nodded: "I will."
She smiled and said, "I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to sleep first. You should get some rest too."
Jiang Wang nodded, then picked up his pen again, his gaze fixed on the document, but he didn't write anything for a long time.
As Si Yuan reached the door, Jiang Wang's calm voice came from behind her: "Zhang Ma has warmed up the soup. Drink it before you go to sleep."
Si Yuan paused, feeling a little relieved. She softly hummed in agreement, then pushed open the door and walked out.
