Chapter 230 Please help me
When Siyi returned to Zheng Muyan's residence, Zheng Muyan was anxiously calling Ye Zhenghao, "...I've been trying to call her cell phone but I can't get through...Siyi?"
Just as they were talking, Siyi pushed the door open and came in.
Zheng Muyan hurriedly told Ye Zhenghao on the other end that the person had returned before putting away his phone.
"Siyi, where did you go? I was so worried about you! I couldn't get through to you on the phone, I thought something had happened to you!"
"I am fine."
Siyi looked at Zheng Muyan's worried face with some guilt. She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "I... I just went out for a walk, and I accidentally lost my phone while on the bus. I'm sorry, senior, for making you worry."
Zheng Muyan carefully observed her expression.
She looked haggard, and her eyes were still red and swollen; it was obvious that this girl had been crying.
He took her hand and led her to the sofa, then turned around and poured her a glass of water before sitting down opposite her. He asked, "Siyi, tell me honestly, did something happen to you today? Don't hide it from your senior brother. Look at your eyes, you've clearly been crying..."
He frowned, a bad feeling flashing through his mind. He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "You saw Jiang Yan come back, didn't you?"
When has his junior sister ever looked so haggard?
She was always confident and radiant; in his heart, she was always a very wise, sensible, and proud little princess.
But ever since she met Jiang Yanhui, everything has changed drastically.
Now she has no confidence at all, and always has that worrying look on her face.
If he could turn back time, he really wished he could have confessed to her a few years earlier, so that he, as the one who came first, would not have been forced into the position of the one who came later!
Siyi was not at all surprised that Zheng Muyan could tell that she had met Jiang Yanhui.
She was aware of how bad her complexion looked.
With too many things weighing on her mind, she could no longer force a smile. "Senior brother, there's something I've always wanted to tell you..."
"what's up?"
Seeing her solemn expression, Zheng Muyan's heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that what she was about to say might not be what he wanted to hear, but he couldn't avoid it.
Siyi took two deep breaths. Some things always need to be made clear.
What she's thinking now is that once her mother's matter is settled, she plans to leave City A. But she knows it will be difficult to manage on her own then, so she selfishly wants Zheng Muyan to help her one more time.
So, naturally, her pregnancy couldn't be hidden...
She slowly placed her hand on her lower abdomen, bit her lip, and finally said, "Senior brother, I've always wanted to tell you, but I just couldn't find the right time. I'm pregnant."
Zheng Muyan, with his tall frame, stood up abruptly from the sofa.
His handsome face turned deathly pale, his expression filled with disbelief. "W-what did you say?"
"I'm sorry, senior brother. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I wanted to tell you when you brought me here that day, but then something suddenly happened..."
Siyi paused, then repeated, word by word, "I'm pregnant."
After the initial shock, Zheng Muyan slumped back onto the sofa, frantically pulling at his black hair with both hands.
His muffled voice carried unconcealed pain, "Siyi, you... how could you... was it Jiang Yanhui? It's his, isn't it?"
Zheng Muyan felt that asking this question was incredibly stupid.
If this child isn't Jiang Yan's, whose could it be?
But he is also a man.
He had always been deeply in love with the woman in front of him.
Even though he had thought about letting go before, he admitted that he had selfish motives when he came back this time.
If Siyi and Jiang Yanhui are truly no longer possible, does that mean he has a chance?
After all, the man who was initially by her side was Zheng Muyan. He truly longed to pull her into his arms, to protect her for the rest of his life, and to let her return to being the Ye Siyi she once was.
He had been trying his best, desperately wanting to be good to her, and desperately trying to deal with his family.
But then she suddenly told herself this news—
She is pregnant.
She was pregnant with Jiang Yanhui's child...
"Yes."
Siyi nodded in acknowledgment and said without hesitation, "My older brother knows about this too, Senior Brother. I'm telling you this not for any other reason than that I feel I can't keep it from you. You're like an older brother to me, and I've always been grateful for your help. I know you came back to City A for me, and I also know you must have a lot of problems in City S. I know I'm being selfish, but Senior Brother—"
She suddenly stood up and knelt directly in front of Zheng Muyan. "Senior brother, I beg you, there aren't many people who can help me now. I beg you, you must help me!"
Zheng Muyan was startled by her actions and quickly reached out to pull her up. "What are you doing? Siyi, get up! Get up right now, do you hear me?"
"Senior brother, please help me! You have to promise to help me before I'll get up!"
"Alright, alright! I'll help you, I'll do whatever you say! You silly girl, get up now."
At this moment, Zheng Muyan was truly in despair.
He knew that this girl would never be the girl who would be his someday.
Her heart belonged to that man from beginning to end, even though she knew there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
But her feelings, so humble yet so unyielding, made him envious.
Jiang Yanhui, what merit do you possess?
Now that she was kneeling before him, he knew that her so-called help was definitely about getting him to help her keep the child...
Just how much did she love that man?
