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

Even though it had only been two or three days since they last met, Si Yuan felt as if she and Bo Yusen had been separated for a very, very long time.

So long that just holding him like this made her want to cry.

"sorry……"

Bo Yusen took a deep breath, cupped her face, and bit her lip without any tenderness. "If I hear you say those three words again, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."

Si Yuan has lost weight.

When Bo Yusen held her, he could clearly feel that her waist was thinner than before.

What's more noticeable is her face; her chin is much sharper than before, and her small face is almost devoid of flesh.

Si Yuan nodded obediently, "Okay."

"What would you like to eat?"

At the mention of this, Si Yuan's stomach started growling.

She hadn't had much of an appetite these past few days, and not wanting to worry Si Qingwan, she could only eat a little bit symbolically.

However, the stomach is a barometer of emotions.

When I'm in a bad mood or feeling down, my stomach gets upset.

Your stomach will feel better if you vomit everything you've eaten.

Seeing Bo Yusen put Si Yuan in a good mood, and she wanted to eat everything.

Seafood, hot pot, hot and sour noodles, skewers—

Si Yuan talked a lot, mostly about things that are high in oil and salt.

But her stomach was clearly not suited to eating those things.

Bo Yusen took Si Yuan to a small, undiscovered noodle shop with delicious food.

Jiang Zhe recommended this shop to Bo Yusen, saying it was a little shop he kept to himself and never shared with outsiders.

The shop wasn't very big, but it was very clean, and there were books and lots of sticky notes on the table.

The atmosphere is wonderful.

Bo Yusen ordered a bowl of "luxury noodles" for Si Yuan.

The so-called "luxury noodles" contain not only seafood, but also beef and various vegetables.

The combination of meat and vegetables perfectly satisfied all of Si Yuan's requirements.

Si Yuan took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Mmm...so delicious...I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang, who is usually so loud and boisterous, would have such a discerning palate when it comes to food."

Bo Yusen agreed with this point.

"He's really good at eating."

Seeing that Bo Yusen hadn't ordered anything, Si Yuan picked up a piece of beef and brought it to his mouth, saying, "Try it, it's really delicious."

"I'm not hungry."

"Even if you're not hungry, you should still try it!"

"good……"

Bo Yusen opened his mouth and ate the beef, and Si Yuan was very happy.

Upon reflection, she realized that she and Bo Yusen had never been this intimate in public like other couples.

The weather was unusually nice, and Si Yuan didn't want to go home so soon.

"Sen Sen, are you free this afternoon?"

"No……"

Bo Yusen lied. In fact, he had been extremely busy these past few days and had postponed many of his work in order to be with Si Yuan.

Si Yuan smiled, "Then let's go play."

"Okay, where would you like to go?"

Si Yuan thought for a moment, "I want to go see the flowers and plants and get closer to nature."

Compared to that day, Si Yuan was in a much better mood, and Bo Yusen naturally wanted to make her even happier.

"good……"

After Si Yuan finished eating, Bo Yusen took her to the countryside.

Springtime is the most beautiful time of year for country lanes, with wildflowers and grasses growing everywhere along the roadside.

Close your eyes, and you can smell the fragrant aroma and hear the chirping of insects and birds.

Si Yuan really liked this feeling.

Especially when you're walking hand in hand with someone you like on a path, no one will bother you, and you don't have to worry about what others think.

When Si Yuan was in the Si family, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the development of the family.

At school, for the sake of the Si family's reputation, she always strived to be number one in everything, whether it was academics or other aspects.

My nerves were constantly on edge.

She hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

She hummed a pleasant song, a gentle smile playing on her lips and around her eyes—a comforting and reassuring smile.

Bo Yusen loved Si Yuan's smile; when she smiled, he felt the whole world brightened up.

In other people's eyes, Si Yuan has always been a typical heiress from a wealthy family—dignified and elegant.

In reality, she's never idle.

When I see small yellow flowers by the roadside, I can't help but lean in and smell them.

When I see an unfamiliar plant, I take out my phone to scan it and study it.

They also take photos of pretty little flowers and deer, as well as pedestrians they see on the road.

It is full of life.

While she was busy playing, Bo Yusen used his phone to capture her most lively and vibrant moments.

After playing by herself for a while, Si Yuan finally remembered Bo Yusen.

She picked a pretty flower, ran to Bo Yusen, and handed it to him. "Don't you find it boring?"

"No, I really like it here."

Rather than saying I like this place, I would say I like the feeling of being with Si Yuan.

He was happy as long as he was with her, no matter what they did.

Si Yuan took Bo Yusen's hand again, "I really like it like this, I think it's very romantic."

Si Yuan raps: "The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you, until we're so old we can't go anywhere, and you still treat me like a treasure in your palm~"

Si Yuan suddenly stopped and put her arm around Bo Yusen's lean waist. "Mr. Bo, what is your answer?"

Si Yuan's eyes were sparkling. Being stared at like that by her, Bo Yusen felt a slight tremor in his heart, and he hugged her even tighter.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips. "Okay."

Bo Yusen rarely utters sweet words; he mostly acts rather than speaks.

Si Yuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart and took the initiative to kiss him.

However, before the kiss could deepen, it was interrupted by a "moo".

Curious Si Yuan was drawn to the cows grazing and immediately ran over to take pictures of them.

Bo Yusen: "..."

Why do I feel like his charm is less than that of a cow?

Time flies, and the sun is about to set.

Si Yuan was reluctant to go back, but she had no choice but to go back.

They were as excited when they arrived as they were when they left.

It looks just like a frostbitten eggplant.

If she could, Si Yuan wished time could stand still this afternoon.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world, and they ultimately have to face reality.

There was still some distance to the car when Si Yuan couldn't walk any further, so Bo Yusen bent down.

Si Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and happily climbed onto his back.

She buried her head in Bo Yusen's neck and smelled the pine scent on him.

It smells nice, I like it...

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Si Yuan hugged Bo Yusen's neck, her voice muffled, "What happened back then, you really don't blame me?"

"Hmm, it's none of your business."

"That……"

Si Yuan pursed her lips, wanting to ask him if he would blame Si Zhixia.

In the end, I didn't know how to start the conversation.

Bo Yusen knew what Si Yuan was worried about, and gently squeezed her calf. "Don't worry about anything, I will take care of everything."

These words successfully comforted Si Yuan.

She pressed her face against Bo Yusen's, "My mother said I had a fever when I was little and forgot a lot of things. But even if I forgot my aunt, I don't think she's the kind of person who would break up someone else's family..."

Si Yuan kept talking, unaware of how ugly Bo Yusen's expression became when she said she had "forgotten many things".

"Of course, I'm not trying to excuse her. We still need to find out the truth of the matter. I will try my best to remember."

"If it really is my aunt's fault, I will apologize..."

Of course, if Si Zhixia is innocent, she will not let those who spread rumors get away with it.

Bo Yusen knew he couldn't stop Si Yuan. This person appeared gentle and obedient on the surface, but was actually very stubborn and headstrong.

Whatever she wants to do, no one can say anything to her.

"I have only one request."

"Um?"

"No matter what happens, don't shoulder it all yourself. I'm right behind you, always there for you to lean on."

Si Yuan smiled. She felt that these words were sweeter than any sweet talk and would make anyone's heart flutter.

The two were out of contact for an entire afternoon.

Si Yingying invited Si Aofu shopping and took the opportunity to complain about her married life.

The two went on a shopping spree, grabbing whatever caught their eye without even looking at the price.

Si Yingying's dowry has been almost spent, and in the past few days she has been using the supplementary card that is linked to Xiang Mingche.

Xiang Mingche, who was in a meeting, heard his phone constantly sending text messages notifying him of the amount he had spent.

Unable to bear it any longer, I called Si Yingying.

"That's good enough. Every time I buy clothes and bags, I don't like them anymore after only wearing them for a few days or using them a few times. Can't we save a little money?"

"The company is in such a state right now, I'm overwhelmed with work, and you can't help at all, you're just adding to my troubles."

Perhaps out of anger, Xiang Mingche spoke without thinking, "Ah Yuan isn't like you..."

Si Yingying angrily hung up the phone, her face almost contorted with rage.

"Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan... you're already married to me, and you're still thinking about Si Yuan..."

"Hmph—before marriage, she doted on me and bought me whatever I wanted, but after marriage, she starts whining when I spend two million."

"So you think I have nothing to do at home? Humph... Once I take over the Si family, let's see how he looks down on me then."

Si Aofu sat by the window, holding a cup of coffee, listening to Si Yingying's nagging, her face expressionless.

"Yingying, do you really think your mother will hand over the Si family to you?"

Si Yingying's expression changed slightly. "Sister Aofu, what do you mean by that?"

Si Aofu put down her cup, smiled faintly at Si Yingying, and said, "It seems you don't know what kind of person your mother is. Or... you could think about it: since you married Xiang Mingche and moved into the Xiang family home, has your mother ever taken the initiative to contact you?"

Si Yingying's expression changed slightly. Thinking about it now, it seemed that there really wasn't one.

"Xiang Mingche is Si Yuan's fiancé. You and Xiang Mingche made such a disgraceful mistake at your homecoming banquet, causing the Si family to lose face. She would love to marry you off once and for all. How could she possibly hand over the Si family to a daughter who has lost her reputation?"

Upon hearing this, Si Yingying stood up angrily. "But I am her biological daughter. If she won't hand over the Si family to me, is she going to hand it over to Si Yuan, who has no blood relation to her?"

"Blood ties? Ha—"

Si Aofu sneered, looked at Si Yingying and sighed, "I told you you don't understand your mother at all. Yes, blood ties are very important in wealthy families, but in your mother's eyes, nothing is more important than the Si family's reputation and future."

Clearly, Si Yingying is simply not capable of supporting the Si family's future.

"Besides... Si Yuan is already with Bo Yusen. She will be the matriarch of the Bo family in the future. For the Si family to climb up to the Bo family is practically a meteoric rise..."

"What did you say?"

Si Yingying's voice rose a decibel, "Si Yuan and Bo Yusen are together?"
