Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Si Yuan's legs went weak from the kisses, and she almost couldn't stand up before Bo Yusen picked her up.

"Hey...wait a minute, I have a gift I'd like to give you."

Si Yuan took out the contents of the bag; it was a blue and white checkered tie.

"To prevent my Ninth Master from getting sick from overheating, I spent a fortune to buy you a tie..."

Si Yuan held the tie up to Bo Yusen's chest and smiled happily, "You really suit plaid. My judgment is never wrong. What do you think? Do you like it?"

Bo Yusen was reluctant to let go of Si Yuan. "Okay, help me put it on."

"good……"

Si Yuan took Bo Yusen's old tie and put it in the bag, then put the tie she had bought around his neck.

Bo Yusen watched her tie the tie with practiced ease, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Do you often tie ties for others?"

There are few men around Si Yuan, and it's obvious who Bo Yusen is referring to as "others".

Si Yuan's smile froze, and she gave a dry laugh, "Not often."

"Then it is."

Si Yuan: "..."

"Will he hold you like I hold you?"

Si Yuan: "..."

"He'll kiss you, and you'll reciprocate?"

Si Yuan immediately explained, "There really isn't one."

"Never kissed?"

At this moment, Master Bo looked exactly like an unreasonable and jealous person.

Si Yuan could only try to appease him, since those things between her and Xiang Mingche had already happened.

Si Yuan held up three fingers as if swearing, looking sincerely at Bo Yusen, "At most... we've only kissed on the cheek."

"You guys are quite innocent."

Si Yuan swore that what Bo Yusen said was definitely not a compliment.

She hugged his waist and kissed his chin. "We're not innocent at all."

Bo Yusen's dark eyes swept over Si Yuan. "So, do you prefer someone innocent or not?"

This question is from the kite-flying competition!

"I only like you, whether you are innocent or not, I like you."

Bo Yusen lowered his head and lightly bit Si Yuan's lips as if punishing her, "Sweet talk."

Si Yuan covered her face, looking at him pitifully, "How is that sweet talk? I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me?"

Bo Yusen held Si Yuan tightly around the waist, "From now on, you are not allowed to tie a tie for anyone else but me."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Bo Yusen pinched her cheek, pulling Si Yuan's face into a strange and funny expression before he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that the person had been appeased, Si Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also have something for you."

Bo Yusen took out an exquisite box. "Open it and take a look."

Si Yuan opened it and saw a bracelet that looked a lot like a watch inside.

Si Yuan looked at Bo Yusen with a puzzled expression. Bo Yusen took out the bracelet and put it on Si Yuan's slender and beautiful wrist.

"This is a multi-functional bracelet that can monitor your health. It's also waterproof, so never take it off."

Although Si Yuan didn't understand why Bo Yusen would give her such a bracelet.

But since it was a gift from Bo Yusen, she liked it.

"good……"

Si Yuan nestled in Bo Yusen's arms, eating the glutinous rice balls he had brought, admiring the blooming crabapple blossoms, and was in a very good mood.

As if remembering something, she said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for the next couple of days."

"Um?"

"Our family also holds ancestral worship ceremonies, so I have to go to the Si family ancestral graves with my mother."

Bo Yusen's eyes flickered slightly. "Okay."

Although it was just a simple "good", Si Yuan could hear the change in Bo Yusen's emotions.

Thinking he was unhappy, she quickly kissed him on the cheek. "Don't worry, I'll miss you."

Bo Yusen stared intently at Si Yuan, hooked her chin, and kissed her deeply.

Having just eaten glutinous rice cake, Si Yuan's lips were soft and sweet; I really wanted to take a bite.

The Si family has a tradition of ancestor worship.

On this day, married daughters return to their parents' home to pay respects to their ancestors.

Xiang Mingche accompanied Si Yingying, while Si Aofu came alone.

After not seeing her for a while, Si Yuan noticed that Si Aofu had lost a lot of weight, and the haggardness and fatigue on her face could not be concealed even with the best makeup.

Besides her, Xiang Mingche also looked like he had lost his soul, with sunken eyes and a pale face.

When he saw Si Yuan, he clenched his fists, wanting to say something, but he held back because of the crowd.

In Si Yingying's eyes, this scene showed that Xiang Mingche still had feelings for Si Yuan.

Si Yingying was furious.

Si Yingying originally thought that after marrying Xiang Mingche, she would be the happiest woman in the world.

She only realized after getting married that married life wasn't as exciting as she had imagined.

She couldn't stand the mundane life, especially since Xiang Mingche was very busy every day and spent even less time with her than before.

Moreover, as the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family, Wang Congrong had high expectations for Si Yingying and took her out to meet people several times.

After being secretly mocked several times for Si Yingying's manners, knowledge, and experience, Wang Congrong couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

Let Si Yingying study hard.

Si Yingying hates studying the most. She had to study when she was in the Si family. She thought that she would be free from the fate of studying after marrying into the Xiang family.

I never expected that I would have to study at the Xiang family's place.

She complained to Xiang Mingche about this several times, and at first Xiang Mingche would try to comfort her.

Later, for some unknown reason, he pushed her away from his arms, saying, "Studying is for your own good. You spend all day eating, drinking, and having fun. What's the difference between you and a good-for-nothing?"

waste?

Xiang Mingche actually called her a piece of trash.

Si Yingying was furious and punched and kicked Xiang Mingche repeatedly. "I knew you'd always looked down on me. You only have eyes for Si Yuan. She's smarter and more talented than me. I'm a good-for-nothing, and she's a genius!"

She thought that if she cried, Xiang Mingche would come to comfort her, but unexpectedly, Xiang Mingche said, "A Yuan is inherently more outstanding than you."

Si Yingying almost vomited blood.

That was the first time she had argued with Xiang Mingche after their marriage. The argument was so fierce that it alerted Wang Congrong.

Wang Congrong scolded Xiang Mingche a few times, then pulled Si Yingying aside to comfort her.

In the end, Si Yingying apologized to Mingche before she forgave him.

Si Yingying also had her pride; she didn't want to come to Si Qingwan to complain about a fight so soon after getting married.

Si Qingwan certainly wouldn't say anything to her, but she didn't want Si Yuan to know.

Seeing Xiang Mingche's gaze frequently drifting towards Si Yuan, Si Yingying was practically grinding her teeth to powder.

"Sister, you look so radiant these past few days, have you started dating someone?"

Si Yingying hopes that Si Yuan will find a boyfriend soon, so that Xiang Mingche will give up on her completely.

As soon as Si Yingying said this, everyone's eyes turned to Si Yuan.

Xiang Mingche's face was even more gloomy, and the veins on the back of his clenched fists were bulging.

Si Yuan's heart sank slightly. She smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, little sister. Not yet."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Mingche was taken aback.

He didn't understand why Ah Yuan would lie.

Si Qingwan would definitely approve of her being with Bo Yusen, and might even try to bring them together as soon as possible.

But she's already with Bo Yusen, so why won't she admit it?

What is she afraid of?

Or rather, what are you afraid of?

When Si Yingying heard that Si Yuan hadn't started dating, she assumed that Si Yuan still loved Xiang Mingche.

Seeing Xiang Mingche's astonished expression, she felt a lump in her throat.

"Really? I heard you have a lot of suitors. You're not getting any younger, it's about time you started dating."

"alright……"

Si Qingwan spoke calmly, "Today is the day to pay respects to our ancestors, so everyone should be serious. We can talk about other things later."
