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

Si Yuan's behavior was clearly abnormal.

Did she find out something when she went to pay respects to her ancestors today?

Or did you remember something?

Bo Yusen wanted to know what had happened and wanted Si Yuan to calm down, but when he met her watery eyes that were about to cry, he only wanted to fulfill all her needs and desires.

Unlike Si Yuan's eagerness, he didn't immediately take off her clothes, but instead carried her to the sofa.

A gentle kiss traveled from her forehead to the tip of her nose, finally landing on her soft lips.

He kissed her very gently, as if to comfort her or to care for her.

Si Yuan's previously anxious heart gradually calmed down.

But as soon as Bo Yusen showed any sign of wanting to back away, she would immediately use her arms to firmly restrain him and prevent him from leaving.

Normally, Bo Yusen would want to devour Si Yuan whole, and he would be as ruthless as he wanted to be.

Today, however, she was as gentle as she could be.

Confused and infatuated, Si Yuan touched Bo Yusen's sweaty face and asked, "Could you be any fiercer?"

Normally, if you're even slightly harsh or fierce, Si Yuan can't stand it.

They either beg for mercy and act cute, or they act shamelessly.

Today, however, I asked him to be a little fiercer.

In some cases, when someone calls her, she doesn't even look at the caller ID and simply turns off her phone.

Si Yuan finally fell into a deep sleep around 4 a.m.

Bo Yusen carried her into the bathroom, washed her clean, put her on the bed, and then made a phone call.

"Check what happened when Si Yuan went to pay respects to her ancestors today."

Even though she was extremely exhausted, Si Yuan didn't sleep well.

"What does our little A-Yuan want to be when she grows up?"

Her gentle and pleasant voice is like a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable and happy.

"Hmm... I want to stay with my aunt and mother forever..."

The woman chuckled. "Of course we'll always be together. I'm asking what you want to be when you grow up—a teacher? An actor? Or a scientist…?"

Xiao Siyuan didn't have so many thoughts. She looked up at the woman with delicate and beautiful features and asked, "Where's Auntie?"

"Me? If I could, I'd like to be a TV host."

What is a host?

The woman pointed to the large-scale gala currently playing on television, "It's like that..."

"Wow, so beautiful! Ah Yuan will be a TV host when she grows up."

"Okay, when A-Yuan becomes a host, Auntie will give you a golden microphone that is made just for you."

"good!!!"

The scene shifts, and the woman who was just smiling and holding her is now covered in blood.

"Ah Yuan... don't be afraid, it's alright..."

"Your aunt will protect you and won't let anything happen to you. You must live on..."

When Si Yuan woke up, her face was covered in tears and her body was trembling.

Bo Yusen gently wiped away her tears, "Why are you crying like this even when you're trying to sleep?"

Si Yuan moved closer to Bo Yusen, hugged him, and buried her head in his chest. "I had a nightmare."

"Were you scared?"

"Um."

A warm palm gently stroked Si Yuan's head. "Puff, puff, don't be scared."

The gentler Bo Yusen was, the more distressed Si Yuan felt.

Bo Yusen was so much older than her, she didn't know how much he knew about Si Zhixia.

If Bo Yusen knew that she was the one who covered for his father and Si Zhixia when they were young, would he hate her?

Or perhaps he was with her simply because she annoyed him, and he gave in to her behavior.

still--

Stop, stop, stop—

Don't let your mind wander.

Si Yuan knew that something was wrong with her current state. She knew she couldn't continue like this; she needed to find a way to remember the past.

If she really was the only survivor of that car accident, then she was the only one who knew the whole truth about what happened.

My phone was off all night, and when I turned it back on, a flood of messages and missed calls came in.

Si Yuan pretended not to see it and ate breakfast with Bo Yusen.

233 could clearly sense that Si Yuan was in a bad mood, so she tried her best to cheer Si Yuan up early in the morning.

233(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝): [Ah Yuan, summer is here, and the lotus blooming season is almost here. Shall we go see the lotus flowers together then?]

Si Yuan smiled and patted 233's head, "Okay, I'll buy 233 the most beautiful lotus flower then."

233ヾ(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ：【Yay, A-Yuan is the best, 233 loves A-Yuan the most——】

As she spoke, 233 exaggeratedly covered her mouth, [I can't let Master hear this, otherwise he'll get jealous and bully me again.]

Bo Yusen's chilling voice came from not far away, "I've heard it."

233 gave an awkward laugh: [Hehe, Master, I was just praising you.]

233(◕‿◕): [Ah Yuan can testify.]

Looking at 233 and Bo Yusen, Si Yuan felt much better. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll be your witness."

Considering that 233 brought a smile back to Si Yuan's face, Bo Yusen mercifully spared 233.

However, this heartwarming scene was shattered by a phone call.

Si Qingwan couldn't contact Si Yuan all night, so she was naturally anxious to find her.

Si Yuan didn't answer the phone. After hanging up, she sent a WeChat message.

"Mom, I'm going back right now."

After a while, I received a message from Si Qingwan: "Okay."

As Si Yuan was about to leave, Bo Yusen grabbed her hand. "If anything happens, call me. Remember, I'm your boyfriend, and I'll always be on your side."

Si Yuan's nose stung terribly; guilt, helplessness, inner turmoil, and confusion all converged, almost driving her crazy.

She knew she had to handle this herself, but she still obediently nodded, "Okay."

Not far from the Si family's old house, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked.

The man in the Mercedes had sunken eyes, bloodshot eyes, and looked worse than a ghost, having not slept all night.

His eyes were fixed on the Si family's gate, and the veins on his hand, gripping his phone, were bulging.

Ah Yuan didn't go home again for another night.

She has now blocked him not only on WeChat, but also on his phone and all other social media platforms.

Recalling the information he had gathered, he became very anxious and worried about A-Yuan.

But the thought that while he was burning with anxiety, Si Yuan was lying beneath Bo Yusen fueled his jealousy, which nearly consumed his reason.

He waited outside the door all night and finally saw Si Yuan get out of a car.

"Ah Yuan—"

Xiang Mingche rushed over and grabbed Si Yuan's hand.

Si Yuan was already in a bad mood, and seeing Xiang Mingche made her even more irritable. She was about to shake him off.

"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me..."

Xiang Mingche is now Si Yingying's husband, and in order to avoid gossip, he can no longer have any more physical contact with Si Yuan.

"What are you doing? Let go—"

Si Yuan struggled to shake off Xiang Mingche, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. Xiang Mingche used all his strength, and she couldn't break free at all.

Xiang Mingche shoved her into the car and locked the door.

Si Yuan stared coldly at Xiang Mingche, her face expressionless. "What are you planning to do now?"

"Ah Yuan! You can't be with Bo Yusen!"

Si Yuan took a deep breath, her eyes filled with disgust. "Open the car door, I want to get out."

Just as Xiang Mingche was about to say something, he saw the hickeys on Si Yuan's neck.

His eyes widened in fury, and he gripped Si Yuan's arm so tightly that Si Yuan winced in pain.

Si Yuan slapped Xiang Mingche across the face. "Have you gone crazy yet? If you have so much free time, go find Si Yingying. Don't meddle in my business."

"How could I possibly not care about your affairs—"

"Yes, I did something to hurt you, but it was all unintentional. Bo Yusen is different... He's with you to get revenge on you."

Xiang Mingche looked at Si Yuan anxiously and excitedly, "Ah Yuan, do you know that you have a younger aunt named Si Zhixia? She is Bo Yusen's father's mistress."

This was the first time Xiang Mingche and Si Yuan had heard about Si Zhixia's situation after all these years together.

He never imagined that the Bo family and the Si family had such a feud.

With such hatred between them, Si Yuan and Bo Yusen could never be together.

But then she suddenly realized that Si Yuan was only five years old at that time, while Bo Yusen was already ten.

It's impossible to be completely unaware of this matter.

So, he was with A-Yuan... to get revenge on A-Yuan?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Xiang Mingche couldn't sit still any longer.

"Bo Yusen's father was killed by your aunt. You were in that car at the time... He must have thought that you and your aunt killed his father, and that's why he was with you to get revenge..."

The thought that Bo Yusen also had ulterior motives in approaching Si Yuan made Xiang Mingche feel a little better.

At least when he was with A Yuan, he was sincere.

Seeing Si Yuan's face turn as pale as paper, Xiang Mingche felt a pang of sympathy.

However, he felt that A Yuan's feelings for Bo Yusen weren't that deep right now, so it was time to cut his losses.

"Ah Yuan, don't you think about it? There are plenty of people who want to get into Bo Yusen's bed. He has so many choices, why would he want someone like you who just got annuled? It's obvious that..."

"That's enough—"

Si Yuan coldly interrupted Xiang Mingche. Looking at Xiang Mingche's excited and thrilled appearance, she suddenly found him repulsive.

"Aren't you feeling smug?"

"What?"

Si Yuan's eyes were terrifyingly cold, her small face completely expressionless. "Does the fact that Bo Yusen is with me to get revenge on me make you happy?"

"I didn't... I didn't mean that... I was just worried about you, afraid you would get hurt."

Xiang Mingche looked hurt. "Ah Yuan, am I really that bad in your eyes?"

Si Yuan sneered, "Whether you're bad or not, you know it in your heart, but you really disgust me."

"Open the car door—"

Si Yuan took out her phone and threatened Xiang Mingche, "Otherwise, I'll call Si Yingying to come and open the door for me."

If Si Yingying knew that the two of them were in the same car, she would make a huge scene.

Xiang Mingche finally opened the car door, and as Si Yuan got out, he couldn't help but call out, "Ah Yuan—"

Si Yuan neither stopped nor looked back.

Xiang Mingche never imagined that he and Si Yuan would one day come to this.

Watching Si Yuan's figure recede into the distance, his eyes reddened and his throat tightened. "No matter how you see me, I sincerely hope you are happy and content."
