"Jiang Xiyan, don't you think you have become annoying now?" Shen Jingyan frowned, her eyes full of disgust, and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger and helplessness in her heart.

Her eyes inadvertently swept over the expensive vase placed nearby. The bright flowers in the vase seemed out of place in this depressing atmosphere.

"Do you hate me?" Jiang Xiyan stood up and walked towards you step by step. Every step was oppressive, and his eyes became deep and dangerous. "That's also because of you. Because you left without saying goodbye that year, everything you are suffering now is what you deserve." His tall figure cast a long shadow in this gorgeous room, bringing tremendous pressure to Shen Jingyan.

"I don't want to talk about the past. Xia Qingcheng is your wife now. Why can't you be nicer to her? She is a woman who loves you, and now she is disabled. I really sympathize with her." Shen Jingyan turned her head, looking at Jiang Xiyan helplessly with a trace of pity in her eyes.

There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, as if she was tired of all this. The breeze outside the window blew gently, causing the curtains to flutter slightly, as if trying to break the deadlock in the room.

"Whether I treat her well or not has nothing to do with you. Also, her legs have nothing to do with you, and you don't need to sympathize with her." Jiang Xiyan's eyes were cold, he raised his head slightly, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said in a cold tone.

His voice echoed in the silent room with an unquestionable majesty.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop a little because of his words, making people feel chilly.

Shen Jingyan bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. "Jiang Xiyan, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?" Her voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of despair.

Her hands hung helplessly at her sides, her fingers trembling slightly, as if telling of her inner struggle.

Jiang Xiyan curled his lips into a sneer, "Let you go? Then who will let me go?" A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by indifference.

Shen Jingyan never thought that her life would fall into such a dark abyss. She and Jiang Xiyan didn't know how it came to this.

This is a picturesque but remote villa, surrounded by lush forests. The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, but it can't bring a trace of peace to Shen Jingyan. The walls of the villa are covered with unknown vines, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. The room is filled with a depressing atmosphere. The sun shines through the gaps in the heavy curtains, and it is difficult to cast a few rays of light, but it can't illuminate the darkness in Shen Jingyan's heart.

"Jiang Xiyan, why are you doing this to me? What happened to us?" Shen Jingyan shouted at Jiang Xiyan in despair. Her voice echoed in the empty room, carrying endless despair and pain.

"Humph, you ask me what's wrong? Don't you know it yourself?" Jiang Xiyan's eyes were cold and a little crazy. He stood in the shadows, his figure seemed a little blurry, and his cold eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Shen Jingyan's soul.

The Jiang Xiyan that she loved deeply no longer exists. Now he has become twisted and crazy.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, why did you become like this?" Shen Jingyan burst into tears. Tears slid down her pale cheeks, dripping onto the cold floor, splashing tiny drops of water.

"Because of you, it's all because of you! Why did you marry Lin Yu?" Jiang Xiyan roared angrily. His voice exploded in the room like thunder, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

"Who I marry has nothing to do with you." Shen Jingyan looked at him desperately. Her eyes were full of determination, and her thin body was trembling slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

"Shen Jingyan, are you trying to irritate me now?"

Jiang Xiyan said viciously, his eyes revealing a crazy possessiveness. In this luxurious but contradictory villa, the figures of the two seemed to be frozen, and the emotional entanglement between them was like the undercurrent hidden in this seemingly beautiful environment, turbulent and complicated.

At this moment, the light of the crystal chandelier seemed to flicker slightly, as if it was also uneasy about this tangled situation.

Lin Yu resolutely quit his job as a school teacher and decided to devote himself to the affairs of his family's company.

He knew very well that the company was facing a huge crisis at the moment, and his father was very angry because of the successive bankruptcy of four companies. Currently, only the subsidiary company was still struggling to survive.

During this period, Lin Yu worked day and night, with almost no rest. He constantly communicated and negotiated with various partners, trying to find solutions to problems, and also had to deal with the complicated affairs within the company, which made him very busy. After some hard work, he finally calmed down the company's turmoil and everything started to get back on track.

However, when he finally had time to catch his breath and wanted to contact Shen Jingyan, he found that he could not contact her no matter what. He called Shen Jingyan's phone again and again, but the only response he got was the cold busy tone. The messages he sent also fell on deaf ears, with no response at all.

Lin Yu began to feel uneasy and anxious. He didn't know what had happened to Shen Jingyan and why she suddenly lost contact. This unknown made him feel extremely worried and confused.

Therefore, Lin Yu ignored his fatigue and simply packed his bag and immediately set off for City A. Along the way, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were bloodshot, but he revealed his determination and anxiety. He looked out the window from time to time, and Shen Jingyan's figure kept appearing in his mind. He was worried about whether she had encountered any accidents, and his hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously.

It was already evening when he arrived in City A. The neon lights of the city were flashing, but Lin Yu had no intention of appreciating the bustling scene. Relying on the address in his memory, he hurried to the community where Ye Ziyuan lived. Standing downstairs in the community, he looked up at the window of Ye Ziyuan's house, his eyes full of expectation and eagerness. He tiptoed slightly, as if this would help him get news from Shen Jingyan faster. His lips were tightly pursed, and his face was full of worry.

He walked into the elevator quickly and pressed the floor button. As the elevator went up, his heartbeat became faster and faster. He kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm his nervousness, but the sound of his heartbeat seemed to be constantly amplified in his ears. Finally, the elevator door slowly opened, and he walked straight to the door of Ye Ziyuan's house. Standing in front of the door, he took a deep breath, combed his messy hair with his hands, and then raised his hand to press the doorbell.

A moment later, footsteps were heard in the house. Lin Yu's eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness. He stared at the door, leaning forward slightly, hoping to see Ye Ziyuan after the door opened and find out Shen Jingyan's whereabouts as soon as possible.

His hands clenched unconsciously, and sweat broke out on his forehead due to nervousness. His heart was beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

The door opened, and Ye Ziyuan appeared at the door. Seeing Lin Yu, she was slightly startled, and her eyes widened slightly. Outside, the lights in the courtyard in front of the villa were a little dim, and the dim light sprinkled on them, adding a touch of depression to the tense atmosphere. The flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, and seemed to feel this unusual atmosphere.

Lin Yu hurriedly said: "Ziyuan, it's me, Lin Yu. I really can't contact Jingyan, do you know where she is?" His eyes revealed deep anxiety, and his hands gestured unconsciously.

Ye Ziyuan frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and said, "Lin Yu, come in first."

Lin Yu walked into the house and asked impatiently: "Ziyuan, what happened to Jingyan? Why did she suddenly disappear?" He paced back and forth in the house, his eyes constantly scanning the room, as if looking for clues that Shen Jingyan might have left. The house was luxuriously decorated, and the spacious living room was filled with exquisite furniture, but Lin Yu had no intention of appreciating it at the moment, his mind was all on Shen Jingyan's whereabouts. Through the huge French windows, you can see the quiet night outside, the street lights in the villa area emit a soft light, and the atmosphere in the house is solemn and tense.

Ye Ziyuan sighed and said, "I don't know the details. If Jiang Xiyan is going to sabotage Jingyan's marriage to you, could Jingyan's disappearance be related to him?" She shook her head slightly as she spoke, with a helpless look on her face.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and his steps suddenly stopped: "Jiang Xiyan?"

Ye Ziyuan shook her head helplessly: "Jingyan and Jiang Xiyan had a relationship. You have to find out about this from Jiang Xiyan." She clasped her hands in front of her chest, frowned, and tried hard to recall Shen Jingyan's words and expression at that time.

Lin Yu paced the room anxiously, rubbing his hands together. "Jiang Xiyan, it must be him. I have checked his information. My company suffered a severe blow some time ago. This is Jiang Xiyan behind the scenes."

Ye Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "What are you going to do?" She walked to Lin Yu and patted him on the shoulder gently, trying to comfort him. At this time, the wind outside the window blew gently, blowing the curtains, as if sighing for the tense situation.

Lin Yu stopped, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "I know what to do. Ziyuan, thank you." He held Ye Ziyuan's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Ye Ziyuan said, "Lin Yu, don't be so polite." She shook Lin Yu's hand and gave him an encouraging look.

In an extremely luxurious villa, Shen Jingyan stood alone in a spacious room. The sunlight shone on her through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but it could not warm her bound heart.

She looked at the seemingly beautiful scenery outside the window. The garden was full of flowers and the fountain was sparkling with crystal water in the sun. However, all this was nothing but an illusion in her eyes.

Her desire for freedom grew stronger and stronger, as if there was a fire burning in her heart, driving her to break through the "gorgeous cage" that trapped her.

The relationship between her and Jiang Xiyan was like an invisible net that entangled her tightly.
