Jiang Yan was stunned and glanced at the broken phone. Like a child who had done something wrong, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Ci, but was afraid to see his blaming eyes, so she quickly looked away.

"Yan Yan, is there something wrong?" Xie Ci asked. Although his tone was still gentle, it was different from the gentleness just now.

The difference was so slight that Jiang Yan naturally didn't hear it. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Xie Ci, "Yeah."

Seeing that she was not wearing shoes, Xie Ci frowned, carried her back to the sofa, and then said, "Go ahead."

Jiang Yan pressed his temple and frowned slightly, "Do you hate me?"

Xie Ci stared at her, the possessiveness in his eyes could hardly be hidden, he suddenly looked away, "I don't hate it."

"Not annoying?" Hearing this, Jiang Yan became even more depressed. "If I don't hate you, then why is the favorability value negative?"

“…Favorability?” After a long while, Xie Ci finally spoke, asking in confusion.

"..." Jiang Yan paused, suddenly realizing that she had said something that she couldn't say, but when she thought that this was a dream, she felt relieved again, "Yes, it's the top.##"

When she said this, her words instantly turned into garbled characters, and to Xie Ci it sounded like she was talking nonsense.

Jiang Yan didn't notice anything at all, she only noticed that the way Xie Ci looked at her was becoming more and more strange.

He didn't answer the question just now. If this problem was not solved, Jiang Yan felt that he would be depressed to death.

"Speak." Jiang Yan pushed his shoulder, then leaned weakly on his chest.

"Yan Yan, can't you see? Or have you forgotten it a long time ago..." Xie Ci's eyes were unclear. He was silent for a long time before he put his arm around her shoulders and let her get closer to him. "As for me, you are my favorite."

There was no response to his words, and when he lowered his eyes, Jiang Yan had already fallen asleep.

……

Jiang Yan was awakened by the shock. Thinking about last night, she was covered in cold sweat.

She turned her head and looked around, and seeing that it was her own home, she was stunned for a moment, and then she breathed a sigh of relief after a long while. It really was a dream.

But...how did she come back yesterday?

She only remembered going to the bathroom, and then what happened next... she had no memory at all.

After reminiscing for a moment, she turned on her phone and saw Lu Jin had sent her a message, telling her to go back and have a good rest.

Jiang Yan was a little confused. She rubbed her temples with her hands, unable to understand when her alcohol tolerance became so poor.

After replying to Lu Jin, she got out of bed and walked towards the living room.

Jiang Sheng is not at home, maybe he has a date with some friends.

But Jiang Sheng thoughtfully left her breakfast and a bowl of sobering soup.

Jiang Yan felt warm in her heart, and felt more and more that everything she had done was worth it, even if she had to give up her own happiness.

Last night's dream was so real that her thoughts drifted from time to time.

It was not until Jiang Wei called her and said he would take her to buy clothes that she came to her senses.

Jiang Wei was already waiting for her downstairs at home, so Jiang Yan had to go even if she didn't want to.

The two went to the most luxurious shopping mall in the city center. This shopping mall was previously opened by the Xie family. Later, the Xie family went bankrupt and no one knew who it was sold to. In short, it is still the same as before, with only more customers and less traffic.

Jiang Yan didn't expect to meet the Bai family. She knew several of the people who came and had seen them before, but she was not familiar with them.

In order not to cause trouble to herself, Jiang Yan tried her best to reduce her presence.

But despite this, Jiang Yan was recognized, and Bai Ye was the first to call her.

This then attracted the attention of the Bai family, and several people from the Bai family cast their eyes over here.

Jiang Yan was a little annoyed. She glanced at Bai Ye and gave him a fake smile. "What's the matter?"

Bai Ye glanced at Old Lady Bai and got her permission before walking towards Jiang Yan. "Isn't today a workday? Why are you here?"

Jiang Wei was standing nearby and heard her question clearly. He didn't know who the person in front of him was, so he said in a mocking tone, "Xiao Yan has already resigned. You should ask someone else about the mental hospital."

"Xiaoyan, don't waste your time with these people." He said again, looking at Bai Ye with contempt.

Jiang Yan turned and looked at him with an unclear look in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but just nodded.

Seeing this, Bai Ye was stunned, his face a little panicked, "If you are not in the hospital, what about Xie Ci?"

"Who is Xie Ci?" Jiang Wei frowned. "Xiao Yan is already engaged. Her fiancé is from the Lu family. So who is Xie Ci?"

After saying that, Jiang Wei suddenly remembered, thank you, thank you...!

Isn't this the bankrupt Xie Group's CEO? In a mental hospital?! And is he still in contact with Jiang Yan?

He had heard that the bankruptcy of the Xie family had a lot to do with the Lu family, and the Lu family and the Xie family definitely had a bad relationship. If Jiang Yan and Xie Ci were to get involved, that would be a bad thing.

"Xiaoyan, are you really related to Xie Ci?" Jiang Wei thought, his expression becoming less calm.

Jiang Yan's eyebrows moved slightly and she shook her head, "No uncle."

Hearing her words, Bai Ye was a little confused. Was Jiang Yan saying this because she didn't want to reveal it outside, or was she lying to her about everything she said before?

"Let's go, uncle." Jiang Yan glanced at the Bai family members who were walking towards them and urged them.

"Yeah." Jiang Wei didn't want to stay with Bai Ye any longer, and he felt relieved after hearing Jiang Yan's reply.

When the Bai family came over, Jiang Wei and Jiang Yan had already left.

"What did you say to her?" Old Mrs. Bai was a little dissatisfied. She used to dislike Jiang Yan very much, but later she heard that Xie Ci was special to her and only listened to Jiang Yan, so she didn't ask Jiang Yan to take responsibility, and her impression of her was not particularly bad anymore.

Bai Ye lowered his eyes and said after a while: "Nothing, just chatting casually."

After all, she still believed in Jiang Yan and did not tell Mrs. Bai about Jiang Yan's resignation.

"Who is she?" Bai Nian asked, staring at Jiang Yan's back for a long time.

He is the third child in the Bai family. He studies fine arts and exudes artistic aura.

"Jiang Yan, a member of the Jiang family." The person next to him replied, also narrowing his eyes.

"I think... she looks familiar." Bai Nian started talking, and someone's skeleton and face appeared in his mind.

For some reason he felt that she looked a bit like his missing...aunt!

Thinking of this, Bai Nian was shocked. How could it be possible? His aunt should... not be that young. He was not sure.

He had only seen a photo of his great aunt when she was a child in the old house when he was very young.

I heard that his great grandfather doted on this younger sister who was several times younger than him. After this sister went missing, he knelt in the ancestral hall almost every day and all night, just praying that his sister would come back.

Later, a gentleman was hired who said that one had to wait for twenty years and repay the favor enough, and then he would naturally find the person.

As for the favor... that is what they are repaying now, the thanks for living in a mental hospital.

"What's wrong?" Brother Bai asked when he saw him in a daze.

"No, it's okay." Bai Nian shook his head. He would never say anything he was uncertain about.

Besides, he just felt it looked like that.
