At this time, Jiang Xiyan slowly stood up, and a hint of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then, he said, "Jingyan, today is the annual Double Eleven Shopping Carnival. The streets and alleys and large shopping malls are all holding grand promotions. How about letting me go out with you for a walk? Maybe it can make you feel a little better."

Shen Jingyan was slightly stunned, with a complicated emotion rising in her heart.

The room they were in was a little dim, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, forming thin beams of light. There was a hint of dullness in the air. Shen Jingyan lowered her eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "I don't want to go with you."

At this time, Shen Jingyan was wearing a simple white dress, with the hem of the dress fluttering slightly, highlighting her elegance and coolness. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair shone softly under the light. Her eyes revealed stubbornness and hurt, like a wounded little animal, trying hard to protect its last dignity.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Jiang Xiyan's face. He took a step forward and stared at Shen Jingyan. There were several potted plants in the corner of the room, but they looked a little listless at the moment. Jiang Xiyan was wearing a dark suit that was well-cut and highlighted his tall figure. His tie was slightly loosened, looking a little unruly.

"Don't you love shopping? I remember you always took me shopping and bought me a lot of things." There was a hint of reminiscence and anticipation in his voice, and his hands unconsciously clenched lightly.

When Shen Jingyan heard this, her body trembled slightly. She raised her head, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. The occasional sound of cars passing by outside the window made the room even more quiet.

"You've already said it, that was in the past!" Her tone was full of determination, and she clasped her hands across her chest as if protecting herself.

Jiang Xiyan frowned slightly, looking at Shen Jingyan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He straightened his body slightly and raised his voice a little. The walls of the room were a little mottled, as if telling the story between them.

"I know you're still angry with me, but I'm trying to change. Can't you give me a chance?" His eyes were full of desire and anxiety. He stretched out one hand, as if he wanted to grab Shen Jingyan, but he hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.

Shen Jingyan turned away and stopped looking at Jiang Xiyan. Her eyes revealed stubbornness and hurt, like a wounded little animal trying to protect its last dignity.

Jiang Xiyan stared at Shen Jingyan's expression, only to see that she had no expression on her face and her eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze people. This made his heart feel like it was stabbed by a sharp dagger, and the pain spread throughout his body in an instant. The hand he had stretched out to grab Shen Jingyan seemed to have lost its strength and slowly fell down. At the same time, his voice was unconsciously lowered, with a trace of pain and helplessness that was difficult to conceal.

"Jingyan..." Jiang Xiyan said with difficulty, "I understand that in my current situation, I really can't give you a stable marriage. But, don't you know my heart? I love you, this love is so deep and strong, even more than my feelings for any other woman in the past. Apart from you, no one else can make me feel this way."

However, facing Jiang Xiyan's affectionate confession, Shen Jingyan was like a cold sculpture, with no reaction. Her beautiful face was still covered with frost, without any emotion fluctuation.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyan could only take a deep breath, trying to calm his inner uneasiness and anxiety. He calmed himself down and continued, "Jingyan, maybe it's futile for me to say more at this moment, or maybe you don't want to listen to my explanation at all. But please believe me, I'm really afraid of losing you. For you, for the relationship between us, I am willing to make every effort to fight, just to create a better future for you, please give me a little more time, okay?"

At this moment, Shen Jingyan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly trembled slightly. This subtle movement did not escape Jiang Xiyan's sharp eyes, but despite this, she still kept her lips tightly closed, refusing to say even a word to respond to Jiang Xiyan's true feelings.

Jiang Xiyan's face flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, he clenched his fists tightly, his body trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable eagerness and anxiety: "Jingyan, are you really going to be indifferent to my feelings? Can't you give me a little response? Even if it's just to scold me harshly! As long as I can feel your presence and feel that you still care about me..."

Shen Jingyan, who had been facing away from Jiang Xiyan, finally turned around slowly. Her beautiful face was covered with crystal tears, as if a broken heart was crying silently. Her eyes, which were once clear and bright, were now shrouded in sadness, full of despair and pain.

"Jiang Xiyan, do you know that your love is too heavy for me? It almost makes me breathless. You always say that you love me, but every time, you tear and trample this love with your own hands. All you bring me is endless pain and torture. How can I bear such love?" Shen Jingyan's voice was choked, and every word was difficult and bitter as if squeezed out from between her teeth.

Jiang Xiyan was shocked when he heard these words, and a look of deep regret appeared on his face. He quickly reached out his hand to hold Shen Jingyan, saying repeatedly: "Jingyan, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I promise that from now on I will never let you suffer any injustice, please believe me, okay?"

However, in the face of Jiang Xiyan's pleading, Shen Jingyan just shook her head gently, tears pouring out like a flood. "It's too late, Jiang Xiyan, it's all too late. The rift between us is too deep to be repaired; the wound in my heart is too heavy to heal. No matter what you say or do now, you can't change what happened in the past, nor can you save my broken heart..."

"Okay, I'm going back to my own cozy little home now. If you really love me, just let me go!" Shen Jingyan's snow-white dress swayed gently as she turned around to leave, as pure and moving as a lily swaying in the wind. At this moment, her beautiful eyes stared at Jiang Xiyan unwaveringly, with a light of determination and persistence flashing in them.

Jiang Xiyan was wearing a well-cut black suit, but under the dim light, he inexplicably looked a bit gloomy. His handsome face was now filled with worry and reluctance, his brows knitted tightly together, forming a deep "川" character. "Jingyan, I know very well that you still don't want to see me... But even so, I will still respect your wishes and let you leave. I just hope you can promise me one thing - never go to see Lin Yu." His voice was low and full of affection, and every word was as heavy as if it was squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart.

However, in the face of Jiang Xiyan's almost pleading words, Shen Jingyan just raised her chin slightly, looked at him with a cold and stubborn look, and responded without flinching: "Jiang Xiyan, you should understand that you have no right to interfere in my private life. Whether I want to meet someone or not depends entirely on my own thoughts. That is my freedom, and no one can influence it!" After saying this, she turned around without hesitation, and walked away with firm and powerful steps, leaving Jiang Xiyan with only a back that was getting farther and farther away, but still elegant and charming.

"You are my woman, of course I have the right to know who you are meeting!" Jiang Xiyan's tone was firm and domineering, as if there was no room for doubt.

"Hehe, I'm not an object, and even less my woman!" Shen Jingyan glared at Jiang Xiyan with disgust, the anger in her eyes almost bursting out.

For a moment, the whole room was shrouded in a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere. Jiang Xiyan just stared at Shen Jingyan quietly, with complex and indistinguishable emotions surging in his deep eyes, including anger, unwillingness, and a trace of barely perceptible pain.

He sighed slightly, then slowly reached into his pocket and took out a bank card. The card was like a heavy treasure, which he held carefully in his hand and then slowly extended to Shen Jingyan.

"I have never treated you as an object." Jiang Xiyan's voice was as low as thunder, with an indescribable sense of heaviness. His eyes were always fixed on Shen Jingyan's face, as if he wanted to penetrate her cold appearance and see her true thoughts deep in her heart. However, at this moment, no matter how hard he tried, he could only capture the resistance and alienation on her face.

At this moment, a ray of warm sunlight shone in through the window and gently fell on the two of them. This sunlight, which should have brought some relaxation and comfort to people, seemed so weak at this moment, and could not dispel the dull and depressing atmosphere in the room.

"There are five million here, and the password is your birthday. Take this money and go wherever you want." Jiang Xiyan said, handing the bank card forward again. The action seemed both like giving and abandonment.

Shen Jingyan frowned slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. She glanced at the bank card and said without hesitation: "Put your money away, I don't need it." Her voice was as cold as the occasional cold wind blowing outside the window.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes became even gentler. He took a step forward and put the card into Shen Jingyan's hand. "You need money now." His voice was low and gentle, as if he was telling a secret. "Be obedient, the password is your birthday, I'll ask the driver to take you there. I'll take care of everything for me, you're destined to be mine."
