Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 522 - 378. The Buddha Head Shed Tears (Part 2, 2 Updates)

Chapter 522: 378. The Buddha Head Shed Tears (Part 2, 2 Updates)

She couldn’t hold on any longer; if she continued, her tears would fall on their own.

Yan Jian pushed the table with a loud bang, stood up, and ran out.

All three stood up, and Shi Nian held down Tang Yanqing: "I’ll go."

Tang Yanqing whispered softly: "She was pampered since childhood, so she is a bit temperamental."

Shi Nian couldn’t help but glare at him: "No matter how bad her temper is, can it be worse than yours?"

Tang Yanqing felt relieved: "Surely not as bad as mine."

Shi Nian blushed with a smile, nodded at Luo Xiansheng, and whispered to Tang Yanqing: "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."

.

Yan Jian ran out of the restaurant, and at the roadside, she couldn’t control her emotions, holding onto the railing as tears streamed down like rain.

Shi Nian chased after her, seeing her cry like this, his heart confirmed the ominous premonition once more.

For a girl, especially one like Yan Jian who comes from such a family background, having never suffered much grievance since childhood, what could possibly make her cry like this?

Even when she first knew Little Sound’s heart ultimately belonged to Da Sheng, she hadn’t cried like this.

Shi Nian’s heart ached fiercely: For a girl like her to cry this way, there was only one possibility.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but kick a tree by the roadside.

When will a world like this stop causing such harm?

Damn it, I really want to bring back the ancient palace punishments to the modern world and castrate all those who commit such crimes!

But why James?

What was James’s reason, what kind of coincidence led to him hurting Yan Jian?

Even though the question marks were almost bursting his head, Shi Nian endured and sat down by the roadside. He quietly accompanied Yan Jian, waiting for her to finish crying.

Yan Jian cried for a long time, her nose stuffed, head aching. She reached out for a tissue, only to realize that she had run out in a hurry without her bag.

Someone beside her handed over a tissue.

Yan Jian looked over, and to her surprise, it was Shi Nian. She had been crying so hard, her mind was foggy and she hadn’t noticed when he followed her out and now sat at her feet.

Yan Jian, embarrassed and sulking, didn’t want to take the tissue, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

Shi Nian sighed: "Wiping tears with your hand is fine, but there’s still snot. If you don’t take the tissue, are you planning on using your hand to wipe your snot?"

Yan Jian’s despair was turned into irritation by Shi Nian’s words. She glared hatefully at Shi Nian: "You’re the one using your hand to wipe snot!"

Shi Nian chuckled mischievously: "Actually, there’s an even easier way. I’ll tell you, I once saw a kid eating their snot when I was little... slurping it like noodles."

Yan Jian was thoroughly grossed out, couldn’t even focus on being sad, and had to clutch the tree trunk, dry heaving.

Shi Nian suppressed his heartache and sighed: "Don’t dry heave randomly, I might think you’re pregnant."

Yan Jian indeed gave a strong jolt, turned her head suddenly, and stared intently at Shi Nian.

This body language was enough to give Shi Nian the answer. Indeed... it confirmed that damned assumption!

Shi Nian really wished he was wrong.

Really wished he was gravely mistaken.

Avoiding Yan Jian’s gaze, Shi Nian stuffed the tissue into her hand: "Be good, use this to wipe your snot and tears."

Yan Jian had no choice but to take the tissue and wiped her tears angrily. Then, deliberately in front of Shi Nian, blew her nose loudly.

The sadness in her heart was disrupted by Shi Nian’s teasing. After blowing her nose dry and taking a deep breath of the cool night breeze, her heart felt less congested.

She turned to stare at Shi Nian: "I only cried, I didn’t plan to complain. Once I finish crying, it’s over; I won’t tell you anything. You came out hoping to hear my grievances, right? I’m sorry to disappoint you."

Shi Nian inwardly snorted: This bad-tempered girl!

The Tang Family’s children, on the surface, looked elegant and noble, but their true temperaments were each more difficult to handle than the last.

Shi Nian shook his head: "Did you also think I would be disappointed hearing nothing? Too bad I’m not, because I wasn’t out here to hear your complaints. I just wanted to bring you some tissues, so you wouldn’t have to use your hand to wipe snot."

"You still say that!" Yan Jian was really about to pull her hair out.

Shi Nian finally smiled and reached out to lightly pat Yan Jian’s shoulder, "I came to look after you, to stop you from driving out recklessly or doing something foolish in a moment of impulse. Whether or not you cry about it is really not as important as your safety."

Yan Jian felt a warmth in her heart, and her nose suddenly stung with emotion.

She forcefully turned her head to look the other way, not wanting Shi Nian to see her tears welling up.

"Since you don’t want to talk about it, let me speak. James this person, you might know only that he’s the youngest son of the Ford family and Huangfu Huazhang’s half-brother, but beyond that, you don’t know much more. However, I know more about him."

"To me, he’s closely connected to the series of cases your brother is currently handling, and he was also involved in the Rosa Clown Case back then. This man has the Ford family’s inherited meticulousness, ruthlessness, and decisiveness, and he also has the patience to lie dormant for years waiting for the right opportunity. He chose to return to M Country at this time, calculating the timing to come back and seize. You’ve seen his blue eyes, those eyes are constantly flickering with fire, the fire of a taker’s desire."

"Moreover..." Shi Nian took a deep breath, "He might also be the main culprit of the tragedy that happened to my family back then, or at least one of them. So this person is extremely dangerous and you must be careful to stay away. If he has already caused you harm, you must not tolerate him, be brave enough to come forward and testify against him. Otherwise, he will go on to harm others."

Yan Jian turned her head back, quietly gazing at Shi Nian, "What tragedy are you talking about? What did you experience back then?"

Shi Nian gave a brief introduction, and Yan Jian was startled: "Do you believe he did it? Huangfu Huazhang’s words, would you believe them?"

Shi Nian tried to smile, "Because of the missing memories from back then, I can’t help but believe everyone’s words, but also can’t fully trust them either. But regardless of whether the events of the past involved any of the Ford family’s three brothers, it doesn’t erase James’ inherent danger. Yan Jian, stay away from him." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yan Jian felt a bitter smile in her heart. Stay away from him, yet she had never actively approached him. But she also didn’t understand why things turned out the way they did afterward. What had she done wrong?

"Then what about you?" Yan Jian couldn’t help but ask, "You say the Ford family’s three brothers are all very dangerous, so why did you ever get involved with Huangfu Huazhang? He even formally brought you to attend our family’s big party, openly announcing you as his girlfriend."

Shi Nian felt a bit embarrassed. Although Tang Yanqing understood her intentions at the time, in the eyes of the Tang Family, perhaps this would be seen as a stain on her record for a long time to come.

Shi Nian smiled faintly, "Do you believe me, I was investigating the case. Only by getting close to him could I know what he was truly thinking, what he had done."

"You weren’t afraid?"

Shi Nian thought about it, "I felt nervous, but... perhaps I wasn’t afraid."

Perhaps she wasn’t afraid, because she knew, in his heart, she was different. Even though she didn’t agree with or questioned many of his actions, she still believed he wouldn’t really harm her.

Yan Jian turned her head to look at the street and lights in the night.

"I think I can understand. He appeared in my family several times with you, and I’ve seen his attitude towards you. So I know, he really does have feelings for you. And precisely because of this, you were able to get close to him, and only you could uncover his true thoughts."

Shi Nian nodded, feeling a sense of desolation in her heart as well.

Yan Jian took a deep breath, "You say James is as dangerous as Huangfu Huazhang, possibly one of the suspects my brother is pursuing, possibly having a key impact on my sister’s case, and possibly endangering our Tang Family as well, right?"

Shi Nian nodded, but she couldn’t help but feel a twinge, "Yan Jian, what are you planning to do?"

Yan Jian took a deep breath, her eyes already devoid of grief and tears. She calmly looked at Shi Nian, "Let’s go inside. We’ve been standing out here for too long, my brother and Little Sound must be waiting anxiously."

Shi Nian held Yan Jian’s hand worriedly, "Are you really okay?"

Yan Jian nodded with a smile, "I’m a child of the Tang Family, don’t you remember? I’ll be fine."

.

James’ residence.

James was already sitting at the table, staring at the blue-glazed Buddha Head on the shelf for a long time.

His eyes weren’t playing tricks, the Buddha Head was indeed crying.

Compassionate brows and eyes, tears streaming down.

Even for James, who wasn’t a Buddhist, his heart felt extremely poignant.

This matter seemed a bit eerie, as if the Buddha Head knew about the karma he had created, so it cried with compassion.

He stood up irritably, raking his hair.

What on earth was going on? Damn it, don’t tell him there’s really something like "Heaven sees all." in this world.

He didn’t believe it. He only believed in himself.

But... why would the Buddha Head cry? Isn’t there a definite explanation?

Tormented by the Buddha Head’s tears, James didn’t sleep well that night.

The next day, he stared at the Buddha Head for a long time and decided to pack it in a box and drive to the "Middle Ages."
