See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 74 - Part 1
Chapter 74 - If He Was Willing To Become That Mr.Architect For Her Now, Would She Be Willing To Come Back? - Part 1
Zhang Kai had assessed Ye Jiacheng like this many times: “That is but a wolf from the south. Young Master Yi must consider carefully……”
Yi Qindong was on the floor, unable to get up. He knew Ye Jiacheng wouldn’t suffer losses. He chose to work with Ye Jiacheng as a way of setting down gambling chips for himself. After all, between the two of them, he was the one most afraid of having a falling-out between the two of them. But Ye Jiacheng had always been a person who worked in accordance with the business contract. The outside world had a high regard for Ye Jiacheng and respected the contract. As long as it was Ye Jiacheng who signed the contract, they didn’t have to worry about trouble coming up in the duration. So even when Ye Jiacheng had opened with very harsh demands, Yi Qindong still signed it. What he was gambling on was that Ye Mao could become a real estate company competitor with Yi Mao in the future. Now Ye Jiacheng wanted to kick him away? Even if Yi Qindong recognized the reason for it, he still didn’t want to admit defeat so easily.
Indeed, Ye Jiacheng respected the contract very much. He wouldn’t go back on his word for no reason. He had the independent authority to run Ye Mao. Before, he was able to ignore what Yi Qindong did in the background, but now that wasn’t possible anymore. He also wasn’t so naive to believe that Yi Qindong would sign this contract in terror with just a few words. After all, the courthouse wasn’t paid for by his family.
The bottom line must not be too low. Ye Jiacheng released Yi Qindong, and he even pulled him up.
Yi Qindong: ‘’……”
Ye Jiacheng tossed the contract into Yi Qindong’s hands and calmly stood up. He brought up two subjects, two things Yi Qindong would have never expected him to know. Ye Jiacheng spoke extremely slowly, as if he was giving Yi Qindong time to react, as well as to make a decision.
“……If you aren’t afraid of being guilty for rape, what about the future? Of course Young Master Yi’s courage surpasses all others. The Yi family has money. Maybe it’s not a problem at all.” Ye Jiacheng had a false smile on his face. His tone was harsh, “But since you like to use the law to solve problems, let’s use the law to argue.”
“I won’t mention what you did to He Xin. One was willing to attack, and one was willing to suffer. It’s really not easy to make sense of. I also won’t pointlessly care about your documents. But how for long can we total the sum of prison time? Oh also, add a few counts of deliberate harm. It’s all very messy, and there’s a lot too……”
Yi Qindong was already sitting down and couldn’t help sweating profusely. But there was still doubt in his expression.
“You don’t believe that I know?” Ye Jiacheng peered at Yi Qindong’s face and mocked, “I didn’t know at first either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to work together with you. No, colluding together with you. Even if I count myself innocent, my reputation is greatly harmed, no?”
Yi Qindong: “Young Master Ye……”
“What? You’re afraid now?” Ye Jiacheng raised a corner of his lip and blinked. The white lighting of the hotel room lit up his noble eyes. He looked like a harmless hoodlum, “Yi Qindong, do you know how I know? I didn’t plan on being nosy originally. You could say I was looking for—— trouble. What an evil thing you did…… Did you think you could touch Shi Jian?”
At this, his gaze suddenly went icy. He had already gotten to the point with his words. If what he said before was just a sheet cover, what came after was the true reason he came over tonight: “Don’t ever cause trouble for Shi Jian. You can’t afford to touch her.”
Yi Qindong liked women. He had done many somersaults for them. No doubt, this somersault was the most prominent one. What a meager fucking assistant! He had those kinds of thoughts towards Shi Jian. On one hand, her haughtiness was unfavorable, and on the other, his father liked her more and more. He was afraid she would stir up mothballs for him. Thus, he chose to first frighten her a little, and then find an opportunity to do that business, as well as to get a taste of the woman both Ye Jiacheng and Yi Pei played with before. Of course, Yi Qindong didn’t dare to do it honorably. No one would know it was him after it was all arranged. The little assistant would only be able to grit her teeth and choke, thinking that it was her own misfortune.
In the end, before he could put the plan into action, his boat had sunk into the gutter. Yi Qindong’s face was ashen, and he felt fearful.

Ye Jiacheng coldly asked: “Do you understand me?”
“Young Master Ye, I really didn’t, I didn’t……” Naturally, Yi Qindong understood, and frantically explained, “I didn’t do anything at all……”
“Don’t be anxious,” Ye Jiacheng watched him, and said pleasantly after a moment, “I know you haven’t done anything yet, so you’re still perfectly fine right now, no?”
Yi Qindong’s breaths involuntarily quickened.
Ye Jiacheng smiled gently, and said with sincerity: “We are still collaborators. I wouldn’t go as far as to not have any sentiment for you at all. But Yi Qindong, you have truly stepped on a minefield this time.”
“Jiacheng, this is just a misunderstanding,” Yi Qindong noticed that Ye Jiacheng’s temper had calmed somewhat, and hurriedly smiled, “I just saw that Assistant Shi with Yi Pei. I’m only feeling it is unbearable for you, so I……”
Ye Jiacheng’s face hardened once again.
Yi Qindong made no more noise.
……
What should have been said was said, and what needed to be taken care of had been taken care of. Ye Jiacheng stood and got ready to leave. Before he left, he didn’t forget to considerately call those two young ladies over for Yi Qindong. Then, he clapped Yi Qindong on the shoulder and said: “Have a nice night.”
Have a nice night. How could anyone have a nice night on a night like this? If they weren’t annoyed, they would thank the heavens and earth. Ye Jiacheng walked out of the hotel and tossed the document that Yi Qindong had signed into his car. He slammed the car door shut, then kicked the door firmly.
There was some anger that he couldn’t deal with because it was anger he had for himself.
Little fox…… She was his little fox, but he threw her away. Who else could he blame? He had even wished for her to find a better man, and she had found that man.
If he was willing to become that Mr.Architect for her now, would she be willing to come back?
——
“Have you been angry recently?” the therapist asked Shi Jian.
Shi Jian shook her head: “……Maybe recently there hasn’t been anything to be angry about.”
“……Ms.Shi, even though I don’t completely understand what happened to you yet, my suggestion is still the same as last time: don’t repress yourself.”
Shi Jian lowered her eyes slightly. She was helpless and didn’t know what to do.
“You are actually aware of this issue yourself. It’s not that you can’t feel emotion, you are deliberately repressing them. Your subconscious is hoping to control your emotions and thoughts by repressing them. After a while, the body and mind naturally starts to tire out quickly and you feel that you’ve lost the ability to feel emotion. Allow me to ask presumptuously. Are you wanting to control your own…… feelings? For example, are you a person who loves very deeply, but he doesn’t love you anymore, and he fell in love with someone else?”
The questions that made people suffer were often pointless and made problems for oneself. The therapist had guessed correctly. Shi Jian didn’t feel embarrassed. That was pretty much it.
She was trying to control her own feelings, trying to stop herself from thinking about and loving Ye Jiacheng. She forcefully told herself that everything had already changed, and that Ye Jiacheng was with Yi Biya now. He had met a better woman, and had become a real estate upstart. He would be even more successful and happy…… He really wasn’t her Mr.Ye anymore, so she really should let go of him quicker.
What could she do when she couldn’t let go? She could only control her own feelings for him. What could she do if she couldn’t control her own feelings for him? Then she would control her emotions. She only needed to control herself and she wouldn’t disturb Ye Jiacheng. She would also be able to free herself and truly start her brand new life over again……
She only needed to let go, and all her problems would be solved. So she thought of ways to control her feelings, to forget Ye Jiacheng, forget Mr.Ye, forget that promise he made to her under a starry night sky, forget Diandian, forget their rearrangement of «Für Elise», forget those sweet memories and the sadness of the want to recompense them……”
She used to be impatient for Ye Jiacheng to fall in love with her. Now, she was impatient for herself to let go of him. She knew that these things couldn’t be rushed, but she was really in too much grief. She was really afraid that she would accidentally lose control and go looking for Ye Jiacheng again, that she would tell him everything as she sobbed. She was afraid that she would force him to believe that she was his wife, force him to accept the burden of a love that wasn’t his, force him to reciprocate her love……
He was her Mr.Ye, the one that used to love her, dote on her, and cherish her. How could she selfishly force him? And what would she use to force him? She already was no longer an unmatched treasure; she actually never was.
She couldn’t force him. She could only force herself. At last, she had forced herself to the extent that issues came up.
“We are human. Humans are animals that have feelings. No matter what feelings we have, they are all reasonable,” the therapist gazed intently at her, “Maybe you feel that some feelings aren’t appropriate, and so what? You should feel them, not reject them. Even more so, feelings are uncontrollable. They come from the heart, not the brain. The more you want to control them, the more it means that they have a big effect on you. It produces the opposite result of what you desire. Ms.Shi, why won’t you be a bit more selfish?”
“Of course, I am not suggesting you wreck another person’s relationship. I know you are very kind. Only kind people would force themselves to evade their feelings. This kind of self-torture…… Is there a way to express your feelings? Since you plan to go abroad, I suggest you unburden yourself of your feelings first. Don’t hide them anymore. Even though you didn’t say anything, I can feel it. You aren’t loving someone normally. You love him very much. That is why you are suffering so much pain……”
“Loving someone is beautiful, even if the two people have no way to be together. You are ill, not because you love him, but because you are forcing yourself to not love him. Why are you making this difficult for yourself? I feel you need to vent or tell your story more than you need a therapist……”
Could she really vent or tell her story?
Shi Jian found some time to pack her luggage. She hesitated as she held the pair of crystal foxes that Ye Jiacheng gave her, but still put it with the valuable women’s watch. In her memory, Mr.Ye had often gifted her watches. On one hand, she liked to wear them, and on the other hand, “Shi Jian” was a homophone of “time”. Time was valuable, and Shi Jian was even more treasured.
“Haha……” Shi Jian sat in front of her suitcase and softly chuckled. If only she could pack away her memories. But if memories really could be packed away, would she really pack them and throw them away?
She knew clearly that the answer was a “no”.
