Jiang Wuque looked at Shen Jingyan who had a nervous face, and said softly: "Okay, the steak is ordered, you be good." Hearing this, Shen Jingyan nodded slightly and responded softly: "Yeah, I know." However, at this moment, Jiang Wuque seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality. His expression gradually relaxed, and his whole body was immersed in this seemingly calm and peaceful atmosphere.

At the same time, Shen Jingyan did not stop thinking. On the surface, she seemed to be concentrating on talking with Jiang Wuque, but in fact, her eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, silently calculating every possible escape route and the best time to escape. She knew that this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if she failed to escape successfully, what awaited her would be endless torture and suffering. Therefore, no matter what, she must seize this opportunity and completely get rid of this nightmare that has troubled her for a long time.

Just as Shen Jingyan was concentrating on thinking, the waiter happened to walk over slowly with a steaming steak. In an instant, Shen Jingyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she clearly realized that now was the perfect time to implement the plan! So, she made a quick decision and pretended to accidentally touch the water cup on the table, and the water in the cup instantly poured out, splashing all over Jiang Wuque's clothes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Shen Jingyan hurriedly stood up to apologize, and picked up the tissue beside her and wiped Jiang Wuque's wet clothes in a panic.

Jiang Wuque frowned and looked at Shen Jingyan with some dissatisfaction. At the moment when he was distracted, Shen Jingyan suddenly broke free from his hand and ran towards the door.

"Stop!" Jiang Wuque reacted and chased after him immediately.

Shen Jingyan shuttled through the crowd, running desperately. She had only one thought in her mind: she must escape from here and return to Jiang Xiyan.

However, Jiang Wuque was very fast and soon caught up with Shen Jingyan. He grabbed Shen Jingyan's arm and pulled her back with force.

"You can't escape, Jingyan." Jiang Wuque panted, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Shen Jingyan struggled, trying to break free from Jiang Wuque's restraints. "Let me go, you lunatic!" she shouted.

People around him cast curious glances at him, and Jiang Wuque realized that he couldn't attract attention here. He dragged Shen Jingyan out of the restaurant and stuffed her into the car.

"Do you think you can escape?" Jiang Wuque said coldly as he started the car.

Shen Jingyan sat in the passenger seat, her heart filled with despair. She knew that she was in trouble again, and her hope of returning to Jiang Xiyan became even slimmer.

The car sped along and finally stopped in front of the cabin. Jiang Wuque got out of the car, opened the door, and dragged Shen Jingyan out of the car.

"Don't try to escape again, Jingyan." Jiang Wuque said, "You are mine, and you will always be mine."

Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with determination, and she said: "I won't give up, I will definitely find a chance to leave here."

Jiang Wuque smiled and said, "Then you can give it a try. But you have to know that you can't escape from my grasp."

After saying that, Jiang Wuque dragged Shen Jingyan into the villa they had just arrived at. He threw her into a room and locked the door.

Shen Jingyan was imprisoned in this ancient castle, her heart filled with pain and helplessness. She didn't know if she could return to Jiang Xiyan, nor did she know what her future would be like. However, she knew that she couldn't give up hope and must find a way to get rid of Jiang Wuque's control.

Jiang Wuque looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart filled with jealousy and pain. He couldn't accept that Shen Jingyan only had Jiang Xiyan in her heart and had no feelings for him. He knew that he had to take action to make Jiang Xiyan make a decision and let Shen Jingyan give up on him.

Three days later, Jiang Wuque came to Jiangyu Manor to find Jiang Xiyan. As soon as his brother came downstairs, he couldn't wait to call Jiang Xiyan, his eyes full of determination. He said to Jiang Xiyan: "Xiyan, you know I love Jingyan, but that girl still doesn't give up on you. You must make a choice. Either you give up Shen Jingyan, or you watch her being tortured to death by me. If you don't want this result, you should find a way to make her give up on you. I can't go on like this. I'm going crazy with jealousy."

Jiang Xiyan looked at Jiang Wuque, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He knew his feelings for Shen Jingyan, and understood Jiang Wuque's pain. However, he didn't know how to face this situation, nor did he know how to make Shen Jingyan give up on Jiang Wuque.

Jiang Xiyan pondered for a moment, then said: "Brother, I understand your feelings. However, I can't force Shen Jingyan to give up on me. I will try to communicate with her and let her know that it is impossible between us. However, I also hope that you can give me some time and space."

Jiang Wuque was filled with disappointment and anger after hearing what Jiang Xiyan said. He felt that Jiang Xiyan was avoiding the problem and not really thinking about him. He said, "Brother, do you want to see me suffer? You must be more decisive and make Jingyan give up."

Jiang Xiyan looked at Jiang Wuque, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. He knew Jiang Wuque was doing this for his own good, but he didn't want to hurt Shen Jingyan. He said, "Brother, I will do my best. But please don't push me too hard. I need time to deal with this problem."

Jiang Wuque looked at Jiang Xiyan, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He knew he couldn't go on like this and had to take action. He said, "Come with me to see him."

Jiang Xiyan nodded, and then said: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will deal with this problem as soon as possible."

Soon they came together to the ancient castle by the river where it was spring all year round. Jiang Xiyan came to the door of Shen Jingyan's room but did not go in. Jiang Wuque urged his brother to go see Shen Jingyan. He stopped and waited outside.

Jiang Xiyan took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to push open the door and walked in.

Shen Jingyan was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. When she heard the door open, she turned around and saw Jiang Xiyan, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Xi Yan, why are you here?" Shen Jingyan's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and panic. She originally thought she had prepared herself mentally, but when Jiang Xi Yan really appeared in front of her, she still felt an inexplicable tension.

Jiang Xiyan did not answer Shen Jingyan's question, but walked straight to her and sat down. His eyes were full of complex emotions, both pain and helplessness. He took a deep breath, then looked into Shen Jingyan's eyes and said, "Shen Jingyan, I have something to say to you."

Shen Jingyan's heart tightened. Her premonition came true. She bit her lip and tried to keep herself calm. She knew that what Jiang Xiyan was going to say might make her sad, but she also understood that this was the reality she had to face. She nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Jiang Xiyan was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. Then, he said in a cold and ruthless tone: "Shen Jingyan, I know your feelings for me, but I can't possibly like you, so just give up on me!"

Shen Jingyan's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled slightly. She couldn't believe her ears. She didn't understand why Jiang Xiyan would say such words to her. Her tears rolled in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. She looked at Jiang Xiyan and asked in a trembling voice: "Why? Xiyan, why can't you like me? I have always liked you, can't you feel it?"

Jiang Xiyan showed a trace of pain on his face, and he said: "Jingyan, I know your feelings for me, but I can't respond to your feelings. I have always regarded you as my sister, and I don't want to hurt you. But, it is impossible between us. Do you understand?"

Shen Jingyan couldn't hold back her tears and said, "Xi Yan, I don't understand. Why is it impossible for us to be together? I don't believe you don't have any feelings for me. Why do you treat me like this?"

Jiang Xiyan stood up and said with his back to Shen Jingyan: "Jingyan, you are a good girl and I don't want to hurt you. But it's really impossible between us. I hope you can find someone who truly loves you..."

Shen Jingyan listened to Jiang Xiyan's words, her heart ached as if she missed him. She interrupted him and said, "Xiyan, don't continue. I don't want to listen."

Jiang Xiyan held Shen Jingyan's hand and said, "Shen Jingyan, you have to listen whether you want to or not. I really hate you. My brother likes you, so just be with him!"

Shen Jingyan burst into tears and said, "Xi Yan, why do you treat me like this? You know that you are the only one in my heart, why can't you accept me?"

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He said, "Accepting you, Shen Jingyan, you are really wishful thinking."

Shen Jingyan wiped her tears and said, "Xi Yan, I don't understand. Why can't you be with me? Do you hate me so much?"

A trace of pain flashed across Jiang Xiyan's face, but he quickly regained his indifference and said, "Yes, Shen Jingyan, I really hate you."

Shen Jingyan was filled with despair and pain after hearing Jiang Xiyan's words. She said, "Xiyan, you are really cruel. You want me to let go of my feelings for you, how can this be possible? I love you, this is my heart, I can't control it."

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He knew that doing this would hurt Shen Jingyan, but he had to do it. He said, "I hope you can be more rational."

Shen Jingyan said: "Xi Yan, I don't believe you don't love me. If you don't love me, why are you so nice to me? Why do you care about me?"

Jiang Xiyan said, "Shen Jingyan, I treat you well because I treat you as my sister. I care about you because Grandpa cares about you. I don't want to see Grandpa sad because of the unhappiness between us younger generations. Being nice to you doesn't mean I love you. You are just a sister in my eyes."

Shen Jingyan was filled with despair and pain after hearing Jiang Xiyan's words. She said, "Xiyan, I understand. You don't love me, you just treat me as your sister. I will respect your choice and Wuque's choice. But I also hope you can respect my choice. I can't fall in love with your brother, Jiang Wuque."

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He said, "This is your business."

Shen Jingyan said: "Xi Yan, why are you so cruel?"

Jiang Xiyan stood up and said, "Shen Jingyan, it would be cruel for me to say that I don't love you. Please take care of yourself! I'm leaving now."
