Jiang Siyue curled the corners of her mouth and had to admit that this unreliable young master was still quite reliable at the critical moment.

Seeing her appreciative expression, Zhou Shiyan knew that she must have agreed with his proposal, and he felt secretly happy.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the waiter brought the dishes on a cart. The two of them ate while chatting casually, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After dinner, Zhou Shiyan returned to the Jiang family with Jiang Siyue as promised, ready to accept the "trial" from the Jiang family.

"...Mommy, second brother, I'm back." In order to successfully complete the plan, Jiang Siyue tried hard to force out a sweet smile.

Zhou Shiyan, who was standing next to her, smiled even more: "Hello, auntie and second brother."

Both of them were a little surprised at Zhou Shiyan's arrival.

Mother Jiang walked forward in surprise: "Xiao Yan, why are you here?"

Zhou Shiyan touched Jiang Siyue's head and said, "It's too late. I feel more at ease if I send Xiaoye back."

Jiang Mingye rolled his eyes while sitting on the sofa, and complained quietly: "It was just delivered to my doorstep yesterday, and they want to deliver it to my door today. God knows what evil idea they have."

Jiang's mother naturally pretended not to hear, and enthusiastically pulled Zhou Shiyan to sit down: "Since you are here, come and sit down!"

Jiang Siyue glanced at him, and worked with Jiang's mother to push him to sit on the sofa, and then she sat next to him.

Jiang Mingye’s eyes almost popped out.

Even if he guessed that Jiang Si was not his "real sister" now, she at least had the same face as his real sister!

Even sitting next to a man like this, his sister-con nature couldn't help but explode.

Jiang Siyue quickly exchanged a glance with Jiang Mingye, then retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang's mother: "Mommy, um... I have something to discuss with you."

The servant brought the brewed tea and placed it in front of the four people.

Jiang Mingye raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he stood up without saying a word and sat next to Jiang's mother, staring straight at Zhou Shiyan.

Mother Jiang pushed him with her hand, showing a look of disgust, and whispered, "What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, go to the study to find your father and Mingyao, don't make trouble here!"

After she finished speaking, she smiled and said to Zhou Shiyan: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyan, Xiaoye is the treasure of our whole family after all. I hope you can understand what will happen to me tomorrow night."

Zhou Shiyan said politely, "It's okay, auntie. I understand. I got the upper hand by marrying Xiaoye."

"That's good to know!" Hearing him say that, Jiang Mingye became even more excited, "Tell me, what is your purpose in sending Xiaoye back?"

Hearing this, Jiang's mother pinched him hard and said, "How can you talk like that? Xiaoye already said we have something to discuss."

"Besides, Xiao Yan is your brother-in-law after all. At the very least, he's still a guest! How can you talk to a guest like that?!"

Jiang Siyue was in a state of panic. She pressed her temples in pain and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Second brother, stop making a fuss. I asked him to come."

"Because I think it's better for the two of us to talk about this matter."

Jiang Mingye knew he was in the wrong, so he made a "tsk" sound, leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, and said nothing.

Seeing that he stopped moving, Jiang's mother finally felt relieved and said, "Xiaoye, go ahead and talk. Mommy is listening."

Jiang Siyue nodded, organized her words, and said, "Mommy, I want to move out and live with A-Yan."

After she finished speaking, she nudged Zhou Shiyan with her elbow, signaling him to quickly continue the conversation.

Zhou Shiyan's eyes were full of life: "Aunt, Xiaoye's heart is still shattered by what happened two days ago."

"I wanted to marry her quickly because I was afraid she would get hurt again."

"In two days, I plan to hold a private dinner and make our relationship public."

"It will also prevent rumors from spreading that Xiao Ye is still obsessed with Young Master Xu and is always making up stories about her behind her back."

In order to make his words more credible, Jiang Siyue added: "And Mommy, I like him too, and I want to stay with him."

Mother Jiang was a little surprised: "Xiaoye, Mommy doesn't disagree with you moving out, it's just... when did you fall in love with Xiaoyan?"

"He came to propose marriage yesterday, didn't you still...?"

Jiang Siyue had long guessed that Jiang's mother would ask this question. Fortunately, she had prepared in advance. At this time, she just spoke nonsense seriously: "Ayan and I did meet only yesterday, but he has liked me for a long time."

"He took me to a cocktail party last night and told me a lot about his secret crush on me. Today he even helped me teach Xu Yuze a lesson!"

"He really likes me, I can feel it."

"Besides, I don't want to be the same person as Xu Yuze. I want to be brave again towards A Yan."

After saying this, she looked up at Zhou Shiyan, her eyes full of love.

Zhou Shiyan knew she was acting, but he still cooperated and touched her head, and assured Jiang's mother: "Aunt, Xiaoye is your baby, and the only love of my life."

"If you have any concerns, just let me know. Shi Yan will give you a satisfactory answer."

Jiang Mingye had some guesses in his mind as to why Jiang Siyue wanted to move out. Did she like Zhou Shiyan? Not necessarily.

She clearly didn't want to continue living at home pretending to be Jiang Siye.

Zhou Shiyan must know something since he helps her so much.

He put away his sister-con nature and watched everything coldly.

On the other hand, Jiang's mother covered her mouth and laughed crisply: "Xiao Yan, Auntie believes in you, otherwise I wouldn't let you marry Xiao Ye."

"I knew that after you two were together, Xiaoye would move out one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

She looked at Jiang Siyue lovingly and said, "Xiaoye, I'm glad that you can tell the difference between true love and liking."

"Your father has cut off all ties with Xu Corporation and established a new department in your name to connect with Tianyue."

Jiang Siyue's pupils trembled slightly, and her voice was a little flustered and uncontrollable: "Really...really?"

Seeing her shocked expression, Jiang's mother thought she was too excited: "Of course it's true. When has Mommy ever lied to you?"

Jiang Siyue felt extremely heavy in her heart, but she had a smile on her face: "Xiaoye was wrong. I shouldn't have devoted all my heart to Xu Yuze."

"Thank you, Mommy...Thank you, Daddy."

Zhou Shiyan noticed her loneliness, reached out and gently stroked her back, and joked: "Then I have to let Xiaoye earn more so that she can support me, a gigolo."

Seeing how intimate they were without losing their sense of propriety, Jiang's mother was even more satisfied with Zhou Shiyan, her son-in-law. "Xiaoyan, I can't say much about the company. Xiaoye's father will talk to you in person about the cooperation later."

"I will also talk to him about Xiaoye moving out."

Zhou Shiyan nodded solemnly and said politely: "Thank you, auntie. I will definitely take good care of Xiaoye!"

"You are so successful at such a young age, so your aunt will naturally trust you." Mother Jiang felt very happy.

This is the son of her best friend, she couldn't be more happy.

Jiang Mingye sighed helplessly. His mother was too dumb to understand anything. He could only ask, "Xiaoye, when are you going to move out? Do you need your brother to help you?"

Jiang Siyue hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still shook his head: "No need, second brother, maybe move out this weekend."

"Well...Ayan said he wanted to take me to Shanghai to play for a while after we make our relationship public."

Jiang Mingye suddenly became alert and asked, "Shanghai? What are we going to do there?"

Zhou Shiyan took out the reason he had prepared in advance and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye doesn't want to have a wedding, so I want to take her on a honeymoon directly."

"It's great to have a honeymoon!" Jiang's mother clapped her hands happily upon hearing this. "When your uncle and I got married, we checked in at all the honeymoon destinations in various regions of Shenzhou. We were out there for two full months before we came back!"

Zhou Shiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Siyue: "Xiaoye, how about we go out and play for a few more months?"

Jiang Siyue certainly wanted to stay outside for a longer time. It would be best if she could completely leave the Jiang family and the imperial capital and never come back.

But how is that possible?

Her body belongs to Jiang Siye, and her insistence must also take into account the eldest lady's original life.

Even if you have to leave, you have to make sure everything is done properly.

She is ruthless, but God is playing tricks on her and she really has no way to stay out of it.

"I still have studies to do. Let's do it next time." Jiang Siyue smiled slightly and rubbed Zhou Shiyan's sleeves unconsciously with her fingers.

Zhou Shiyan naturally respected her choice.

"Aunt, you just need to take care of the banquet, and I will arrange everything else."

"Let's set the time for this Friday night. If it's not convenient, I'll change it." He had a basic plan in mind when they were having dinner earlier, and now he just had to confirm the time to implement it.

Mother Jiang nodded, suppressed her starry eyes, and said dignifiedly: "Friday is a usual leisure day in the imperial capital. Of course it is convenient."

"Today I will be the head of the Jiang family, and everything will be up to you!"

"Shiyan understands," Zhou Shiyan nodded confidently and calmly, and then asked Jiang Mingye beside him, "Where are the eldest brother and the second brother?"

Jiang Mingye forced a smile and said, "It will arrive naturally, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and greeted Jiang's mother, then turned around and glanced at Zhou Shiyan with an ambiguous expression, then turned and walked towards the study.

Jiang Siyue wanted to stop him and say something, but she was still hesitant. She could only look up at the clock and said to Zhou Shiyan, "It's getting late. Why don't you go back first and ask the driver to pick you up?"

Mother Jiang also noticed the time when she heard this. It was already past ten o'clock, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Yan, go back quickly. It's cold in late autumn, be careful not to catch a cold!"

"You young people wear too little, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

Zhou Shiyan was wearing a white shirt inside and a thin apricot jacket outside.

Even simple attire can't conceal his innate elegance.

He zipped up his coat obediently, a little embarrassed: "Aunt and my mother are indeed close friends. We even say the same things."

Mother Jiang looked up proudly: "That's it!"

Seeing this, Jiang Siyue stood up, pulled Zhou Shiyan up, and said to Jiang's mother, "Mommy, I'll take him there."

"Okay," Jiang's mother nodded readily, and stood up very tactfully, saying, "You two have something to say in private, so Mommy will go back to her room first."

"Yeah." Jiang Siyue slightly raised the corners of his lips and nodded.

Mother Jiang turned around and went upstairs with brisk steps, while Jiang Siyue accompanied Zhou Shiyan to the door.

"Ayue, it's cold outside. You should go back first. The driver will be here soon." As soon as I walked out of the door, a gust of cold wind blew.

Zhou Shiyan reached out to help Jiang Siyue to straighten her coat. Looking at her cheeks and nose which were turning red quickly, he felt an itch in his heart.

Jiang Siyue has always been a person who is hard-hearted but tough-mouthed, but she still feels a little guilty for taking advantage of other people's sincerity towards her.

Especially Zhou Shiyan.

He is a really strange person.

"Zhou Shiyan, what happened just now was just a show. You didn't take it seriously, did you?" Jiang Siyue looked into his eyes and said expressionlessly.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Zhou Shiyan knew it very well.

But when she really said it, Zhou Shiyan still felt it was harsh and heartbreaking.

"Well, I know. I promised to help you, so I naturally understand that it's all fake." He smiled slightly while pretending to be calm, his eyes still as gentle as usual towards her.

But Jiang Siyue still heard the trembling in his voice that he tried hard to suppress.

Jiang Siyue touched his nose awkwardly: "Well, you should take good care of your injury and remember to change the medicine in time to avoid infection."

Zhou Shiyan nodded, his bangs blown down by the wind, covering the light in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Siyue was rarely at a loss: "Zhou Shiyan, I..."

Zhou Shiyan shook his head and reached out his hand to gently touch Jiang Siyue's lips: "Ayue, you don't have to say it, I understand."

"I am willing to do so."
