Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 497 - 362. I always believe that you will push open that window yourself (3 updates, 3).
James couldn’t show it in front of his elder brother — the actual manager of "Middle Ages" now is Tang Yanjian!
After coming out of prison, James felt his head was a bit muddled, making his steps somewhat unsteady.
So, he simply sat down by the roadside and lit a cigarette.
Unfortunately, there’s no regret medicine in the world. If he had known today, he wouldn’t have done that to the girl last night...
But strangely, through the smoke he exhaled, he still felt not as much regret as he imagined.
That’s right, he didn’t regret what he did last night.
Even knowing the consequences it might bring, he felt it was worth it.
Squinting his eyes, what penetrated his nostrils was not the smell of smoke, but the scent of cherry blossoms.
.
After work that day, Shi Nian came directly to the castle, just like these past few days.
She didn’t know that, through the window, Huangfu Huazhang had been waiting for an hour.
Seeing her "flashy" second-hand green Beetle climb up the mountain road, his long eyebrows raised, pretending to walk away casually.
When he returned from the police station that day, he was surprised to find that Shi Nian was still staying at the castle with Jieyou, not leaving.
He thought what awaited him would be an empty room, cold silence, and the boundless loneliness after his daughter’s departure.
But once he opened the door, Jieyou jumped up with joy, snuggling into his arms, sweetly shouting, "Daddy! Jieyou missed Daddy so much!"
At that moment, he thought he was dreaming.
Raising his eyes again, his gaze crossing over his daughter’s shoulder, he saw Shi Nian standing calmly in the room, smiling at him, saying, "You’re back."
So calm it was like a wife waiting with a child for her husband to return from work, all of it so beautiful it made his heart pound.
Senmu thoughtfully stepped forward to coax Jieyou, saying they would help set the dining table. Little girls all love this, so she went along.
He was still taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. Trying not to leave any trace, he asked: "Why are you still here?"
She laughed: "Why is Sir asking this? This is Jieyou’s home, the place she is most familiar and comfortable with in M Country. If I don’t let Jieyou stay here, where would I take her?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Besides, Jieyou also said she wanted to wait here for Daddy to come back."
He felt his heart swell, full, as if he couldn’t quite catch his breath. But he still had to suppress it, clenching his hands into fists to prevent them from impulsively reaching out to embrace her.
"But... how do you know I could come back today? If I couldn’t return, wouldn’t Jieyou be disappointed?"
"She won’t be." Shi Nian smiled calmly: "Sir went to the police station to candidly face past matters, the police wouldn’t deny Sir the opportunity to be released on bail. Besides, even if I didn’t listen in at the police station, I have my own judgment on those past events."
Shi Nian lifted her eyes: "I know Sir made mistakes, but they were due to understandable reasons. Sir’s courage to face it today and express his true feelings is commendable."
Not only that day, but in the following days, Shi Nian also came routinely after work to accompany Jieyou. She didn’t cut ties with him because they had already had a falling out or because he was out on bail.
This made her, on the contrary, make him feel somewhat ashamed.
He could never forget the words Tang Yanqing said that day: In the battle between him and Tang Yanqing, it was actually the hardest for her behind a pane of glass. He was willing to open his heart to the police for her, but he still didn’t do it perfectly enough.
Believing that Tang Yanqing had surely recounted the situation to her afterward. Yet, she didn’t despise him or distance herself; she continued to come and offer warm companionship calmly.
That day after dinner, the two of them played with Jieyou until it was time for bed. Jieyou lay down, grabbing each of their hands. A child can’t describe that feeling, but the expression on her face was filled with happiness.
For a child, the greatest happiness in this world isn’t material things but having both Mom and Dad by her side.
Jieyou fell asleep in satisfaction. He sat on the carpet, lifting one leg, pressing his fingertips to his temple: "Actually, I originally planned for you to take Jieyou to your place. I’m now on bail, and who knows when the police might come directly. I don’t want Jieyou to see that."
"Besides, if she stayed with you, you wouldn’t have to come over every day after work and then rush back after she falls asleep."
His words, she understood. He was feeling melancholy that despite her coming every day, she still insisted on leaving every night.
