Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 700: [Yan Jian Extra] 12, Knowing Oneself to be Foolish_4

She couldn’t find any inevitable connection between these people’s simultaneous disappearance, yet inexplicably felt that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence.

She asked Catherine, who also claimed not to know where Little Ben had gone. Catherine shrugged alluringly and smiled, saying, "Little Ben is just a part-time model, you know, I can’t really control him."

All of Yan Jian’s questions surged to the tip of her tongue. She wanted to ask Catherine, even if she didn’t know the whereabouts of a part-time model, she should at least know where her partner has gone—where did James go?

But she could only forcefully hold back.

She walked out again, dialing James’s number once more.

Still no response.

An inexplicable anxiety surged in her heart, making her restless. At this moment, she couldn’t seek comfort from any family members, so she went to see her elder sister.

Her elder sister was like her little mother, twelve years older, taking care of her since childhood. Even her first diaper in this life was changed by her sister. Throughout her adolescence, every fear generated by the unfamiliar, awkward changes in her body, she confided in her sister first and found answers from her.

So, she believed she could also tell her sister about her current contradictory and complicated feelings.

.

Tang Yansheng seemed unsurprised by her visit, and her sister smiled and told her she was aware of Little Sound’s departure for Asia.

Her sister said that although Little Sound wasn’t a Tang by birth, growing up together made him emotionally no different from Tang family’s children. So, like Yan Xi, Little Sound would definitely fly over to help Yanqing.

Little Sound came to visit that day just to say goodbye. Although Little Sound didn’t explicitly say it because he didn’t want her to worry, Da Sheng understood everything.

Over the years, that silent affection, never spoken out for the sake of the little sister’s feelings, but she had never failed to see the emotions hanging at the corners of his eyes and brows.

When emotions are deep, words are unnecessary.

Then she shared her years of experience traversing various Asian countries and her vague insights into the power distribution of Huangfu Huazhang, telling Little Sound every detail, urging him to remember clearly. Taking it to Asia, hoping it could help her younger brother and Shi Nian.

Da Sheng spoke to Yan Jian slowly, extremely detailed, and after finishing, gently patted her hand to comfort her: "... I said so much just to let you know, Little Sound will surely be alright."

Yan Jian’s face turned abruptly red, and she looked eagerly into her sister’s eyes: "Sister, don’t misunderstand! I’m worried about Little Sound, but my concern is no longer the same as before!"

Yan Jian wanted her sister to understand that she really, really intended to sever her feelings for Little Sound herself... She wouldn’t stand between her sister and Little Sound anymore, as she’s grown up and no longer so immature.

Though... severing ties with Little Sound isn’t as easy as imagined. After all, her feelings for Little Sound have grown alongside her, almost merging into her life.

But she vowed that with just a bit more time, she could sort everything out clearly.

Hoping her sister wouldn’t be troubled by this anymore.

Tang Yansheng smiled gently: "Silly Yan Jian, there’s no need to explain to your sister like this. Though I haven’t fallen in love much in my life, I eventually understood life. For people, emotions are like a severe illness, arriving like an avalanche, departing like spun silk, not easy at all."

"Sister understands how painful this time has been for you; she just wants you to know that no matter what decision you make, sister won’t rush you, she will support you."

Yan Jian hugged her sister’s hand, pressing her cheek against her sister’s hand back, tears streaming down like rain.

But Tang Yansheng became slightly suspicious: Even if her little sister was worried about Yan Qi, even if she was uneasy about Little Sound’s safety, how could her words be so void of comfort, causing such profound sadness?

Could it be that something happened in her little sister’s life that she was unaware of?

Tang Yansheng comforted her little sister, waiting until she had cried enough before softly advising, "We’re all worried about Yanqing, waiting for news from Asia. But Yan Jian, you originally have the least to do with this matter, so why such severe self-blame and guilt over it?"

Tang Yansheng has always had a clear mind, long seeing through Yan Jian’s emotions.

Yan Jian, surprised, could only bow her head in explanation: "... I wanted to help my little brother, but I did something foolish."

And so the story of designing barren hills and thin waters for James, planting surveillance devices in the white sand, was narrated eloquently.
