Chapter 16 Jiang Yuan was startled by his actions
Jiang Yuan originally thought the man with the mole had been scared away, but she didn't expect to see his obese figure in the convenience store downstairs in the community.

She frowned in displeasure. "That bastard is still here?"

The man with the mole stood at the entrance of the convenience store, a cigarette between his fingers, staring at them with hostility.

Jiang Yuan clenched her fist tightly at her side. "Sister, I think this is too dangerous. Why don't you take Zhanzhan and Momo home to live?"

Jiang Die was in a daze for several seconds before gently saying, "Don't worry, he probably won't dare to do anything. If we go home to live, it will cause a lot of trouble for Mom and Dad, so let's not."

She longed to go home, but she knew she wouldn't be welcome there.

Jiang Yuan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

She was the one who cried and made a scene, demanding that her parents kick Jiang Die, who was pregnant, out of the house.

Later, Jiang Die missed home and her parents, but she didn't dare to go back. Every time, she would stand downstairs and watch them from afar.

"Sister," Jiang Yuan said softly, "I'm sorry."

The two had already arrived downstairs at the after-school care facility for Zhanzhan and Momo. Hearing her sister apologize, Jiang Die was taken aback.

"Silly boy, why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" She laughed and changed the subject. "By the way, what do you want for dinner?"

Jiang Yuan frowned, her slender eyebrows furrowing, tears glistening in her reddened eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "Sister, I'm so sorry."

Jiang Die noticed something was off about her voice, turned her head to look at her, and asked anxiously, "Why are you crying?"

She hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and wiped Jiang Yuan's tears.

"Sister." Jiang Yuan reached out and hugged her tightly, then burst into tears, looking pitiful.

Jiang Die felt both sorry for her and amused. She raised her hand and gently patted her back, coaxing, "Tell me what's wrong, and I'll stand up for you."

"I'm not wronged, you are." At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt utterly guilty.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Die couldn't help but laugh: "How could I feel wronged?"

“You have so many grievances,” Jiang Yuan sniffed, her voice trembling slightly, “but you never say a word.”

Jiang Die's eyes narrowed slightly, and her body trembled a few times.

Jiang Yuan noticed the suspicious looks from passersby, quickly wiped away her tears, and composed herself. "Sister, hurry up and pick up Zhanzhan and Momo."

Jiang Die wanted to ask her to come up with her, but was worried that others would ask questions if they saw that she had been crying, so she reached out and put the hat on her head. "Okay, then wait for us."

"I know," Jiang Yuan nodded.

After Jiang Die left, she looked down at the tips of her shoes, lost in thought.

The next second, a taro-flavored ice cream cone suddenly appeared in front of her.

She paused for a few seconds, then slowly raised her head.

"sister……"

Jiang Die smiled and looked at her, "I was afraid you'd be bored, so have an ice cream cone first."

Jiang Yuan felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Thank you, sis." She reached out and took the ice cream cone.

Jiang Die: "Then I'll go up."

Jiang Yuan watched her walk into the elevator, then looked down at the ice cream cone in her hand, feeling so moved she was about to cry again.

She must have accumulated a lot of good fortune over many lifetimes to have such a wonderful older sister.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips, standing by the roadside eating an ice cream cone while tears streamed down her face.

But she never expected that Si Heng would witness this scene.

The man stood in front of the fruit shop across the street, carrying a bag of fruit in his hand; he must have just finished paying and was coming out.

Jiang Yuan opened her teary eyes and watched as the other person's figure gradually magnified, their facial features becoming clearer and clearer.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Terrible!

Si Heng saw that her long eyelashes were covered with tears, her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, and her expression was blank, seemingly revealing sadness in her confusion.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips, unsure how to react, and even forgot to eat the ice cream in her hand, causing it to melt slightly. Si Heng took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.

He took out a tissue, but hesitated.

Should we wipe her tears first, or wipe the melted ice cream off her hands first?

After a brief moment of thought, Si Heng wrapped a tissue around the ice cream cone, then took out another tissue and gently wiped away the girl's tears.

Jiang Yuan was startled by his actions and unconsciously stepped back.

Si Heng paused for two seconds, then handed her the tissue in his hand.

The first few times I met Jiang Yuan, she was dressed elegantly and beautifully, and spoke in a cool and indifferent manner, giving people a sense of emotional stability and maturity.

But today she was wearing a pink down jacket and a fluffy white rabbit hat, crying while eating ice cream, like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet.

It's like a different person.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan took the tissue belatedly, wishing she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

She wiped away her tears hastily, coughed lightly, and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I just thought this ice cream was so delicious that I was so moved that my eyes were watering."

"I understand," Si Heng replied, a suppressed smile playing in his deep eyes.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Si Heng took two bright red apples out of the bag and handed them to her.

Jiang Yuan opened her reddened eyes, looked at the apple and then at him, "What?"

"Here's an apple for you," Si Heng said with a light laugh. "Thanks to you for reminding me about Gu Lingling's case."

Jiang Yuan puffed out her cheeks and deliberately said, "Although it was just a coincidence that I found it, Captain Si, two apples are too few."

"Not enough?" Si Heng raised an eyebrow. "Then take two more? Or would you like to switch to ice cream?"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"I don't want either." She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.

Si Heng put the two apples back into the bag.

Jiang Yuan thought he wasn't going to give her either of the two apples, and secretly thought to herself: How stingy!

Si Heng placed a whole bag of fruit at Jiang Yuan's feet, "It's all yours."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, silently retracting her earlier complaint in her mind.

It turns out she had misinterpreted things.

Seeing Jiang Die approaching with her two children, Si Heng said goodbye, left some fruit, and turned to leave.

"Yuan Yuan".

Jiang Die's voice came from behind.

Jiang Yuan turned her head and looked at the two little ones she was holding hands with.

Zhanzhan and Momo met their wicked aunt's gaze and obediently greeted her.

"Auntie."

"Hello, aunt."

"Hello," Jiang Yuan greeted with a gentle smile, "How about we have hot pot tonight?"

Jiang Die naturally had no objections. "What kind of hot pot do you want? Coconut chicken, lamb, or beef?"

Jiang Yuan blinked: "What do Zhanzhan and Momo want to eat?"

Hearing their wicked aunt's words, Zhanzhan and Momo were both flattered and surprised, staring at her with wide, round eyes.

Although the aunt would pretend to care about them and treat them well in front of their mother, she would never ask them whether they liked it or wanted it.

What's wrong with my aunt today?
Seeing that the two children didn't speak, Jiang Die gently repeated, "Zhanzhan and Momo, have you decided what you want to eat?"
