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

For the rest of the day, Si Yuan didn't leave her room.

She didn't come out of her room until dinner time.

He Shuqing noticed her red eyes and asked her what was wrong.

Si Yuan replied calmly, "It seems like I have a slight allergic reaction, but it's nothing serious, I'll be fine soon."

For dinner, the maid prepared all of Si Yuan's favorite dishes.

Si Qingwan was in a good mood and took the initiative to serve food to Si Yuan.

Si Yuan looked at the food in her bowl, remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Si Qingwan and said, "Mother, your birthday is coming soon, how would you like to celebrate?"

Si Qingwan's eyes flashed. "I haven't been feeling well lately, so I don't want to have a big celebration. A family meal together will be fine."

Si Yuan nodded. "Alright."

Si Qingwan glanced at He Shuqing. There were many things she couldn't say, so He Shuqing was her mouthpiece.

"Ah Yuan, we all support you being with Ninth Master Bo. If possible, please bring him home for a casual meal on your mother's birthday."

Si Yuan tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

really--

She and Bo Yusen haven't even done anything yet, but they're already eager to suck Bo Yusen's blood.

Si Yuan smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll talk to him about it and see if he has time."

Si Qingwan nodded in satisfaction, and He Shuqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

On Si Qingwan's birthday, her married daughters and sons-in-law naturally all return home to celebrate with her.

Fu Qidong would accompany Si Aofu to the Si family home every year, but he didn't come this year because of work, so Si Aofu came alone with a gift.

Xiang Mingche hadn't seen Si Yuan for a long time, so when Si Yingying asked him to accompany her back to the Si family, he was naturally more than willing.

Happy birthday, Mother.

Si Aofu handed the gift she brought to Si Qingwan.

Si Qingwan had already told Si Aofu and Si Yuan about Si Zhixia, and she harbored resentment towards them.

Seeing that Si Aofu came alone, he knew that she had not handled her marital relationship with Fu Qidong well, and was displeased that her husband did not accompany her to her mother-in-law's birthday party.

Si Qingwan did not accept Si Aofu's gift. Si Aofu bit her lip, her face growing increasingly pale.

Si Yuan immediately stepped forward to accept Si Aofu's gift, "Thank you, sister..."

Si Aofu gritted her teeth in embarrassment, glared at Si Yuan, and then stood aside.

Si Yingying looked at Si Yuan. She originally thought that Si Yuan would definitely be depressed after being dumped by Xiang Mingche.

Unexpectedly, not only did she manage to get involved with Bo Yusen, but Bo Yusen also took such good care of her.

Compared to the cold and pale Si Yuan of the past, the current Si Yuan has rosy cheeks and a radiant smile.

Not only does she have to deal with the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every day, but she also has to worry about all sorts of trivial matters.

Even spending a few dollars, one has to listen to Xiang Mingche's nagging.

Si Yingying felt extremely resentful.

She was clearly the true daughter of the Si family, while Si Yuan was nothing more than the lowest-class country girl from a remote village.

Why is she so favored by Bo Yusen?

Noticing Si Yingying's indignant gaze, Si Yuan looked at her and raised an eyebrow provocatively.

This infuriated Si Yingying even more.

She sneered, "Sister, aren't you with Master Bo? Today is Mother's special day, why isn't Master Bo here?"

Si Qingwan also looked at Si Yuan, her eyes asking her a question.

Si Yuan remained calm. "I called him this morning. He's very busy right now, but he'll probably come over as soon as he's done."

"Ha—is that so? It's the mother's birthday of the woman he loves. Unless he doesn't care about you at all, how could he not come?"

These words were tantamount to insulting Si Aofu as well, and Si Aofu's expression worsened.

However, Si Yingying's attention was entirely on Si Yuan, and she did not notice Si Aofu.

Thinking of something, Si Yingying asked in surprise, "Or are you saying that you weren't with Master Bo at all, and you're just saying it to make yourself look good?"

Si Yuan wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled at Si Yingying and said, "Yingying..."

"what?"

"You've already successfully married Mingche, so why are you still making things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, Si Yingying's face turned even uglier than if she had eaten shit.

What the hell is wrong with Si Yuan?

Wasn't she usually quite tolerant in front of her mother?

Now he dares to talk back to his mother in front of her.

Seeing Si Qingwan's sharp and cold gaze, Si Yingying began to argue, "I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I'm just concerned about you."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Shuqing immediately stepped in to smooth things over, "Master Bo is very busy with many things. He likes A Yuan so much, he won't not come back."

Si Yuan didn't speak, but Si Yingying gave a soft hum.

Whenever Xiang Mingche hears the name Bo Yusen, he recalls the image of Si Yuan and Bo Yusen kissing.

That was unbearable for him.

He immediately took out a gift, ending the conversation, "Happy birthday, Mom."

Si Qingwan nodded slightly. "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

The maid had already prepared lunch, but Si Qingwan hadn't started eating yet, wanting to wait for Bo Yusen.

"Ah Yuan, when is Ninth Master Bo arriving?"

Si Yuan didn't tell Bo Yusen about this at all. She wouldn't let Bo Yusen be used by Si Qingwan, and she didn't want him to get involved with the Si family.

"Mom... he's not answering the phone right now, he's probably in a meeting. Let's eat first, we don't need to wait for him."

Si Yingying crossed her arms, remaining in a state of watching the show.

It seems that Si Yuan and Bo Yusen's relationship is nothing special.

Si Qingwan's expression gradually turned ugly.

Just then, a maid came in and said, "Madam, someone who claims to be Master Bo's assistant has arrived."

Si Yuan was taken aback.

Si Qingwan's expression immediately softened considerably. "Please come in quickly."

The person who entered was Lan Hai. Lan Hai first nodded to Si Yuan in greeting, "Miss Si..."

He then said to Si Qingwan, "Madam Si, Ninth Master is very busy today and cannot come to celebrate your birthday, so he asked me to convey his apologies and sincere wishes to you for a happy birthday."

Lan Hai presented the gift with both hands.

Si Qingwan smiled faintly, "It's just a small birthday gift, Ninth Master, you're so thoughtful."

Si Qingwan gave He Shuqing a look, and He Shuqing immediately accepted the gift.

"Assistant, you must be tired from your journey. Please stay and have a meal."

Those who can work for Bo Yusen should naturally be treated well.

Lan Hai politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Si, but I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

Si Yuan never expected Lan Hai to come. When Lan Hai left, he glanced at her, and she seemed to understand something. She immediately said to Si Qingwan, "Mother, I'll see him off."

As soon as Si Yuan left, Si Yingying asked He Shuqing curiously, "Aunt Shuqing, quickly open it and see what gift Master Bo Jiu sent?"

Si Qingwan wanted to give Si Yingying a lecture, saying that she was still so reckless after getting married.

Seeing Xiang Mingche absentmindedly following Si Yuan's departure, he ultimately said nothing.

Instead, they had He Shuqing open the gift box.

Inside the box was an exquisite and beautiful green jade necklace.

Si Yingying's eyes widened in surprise. "If I'm not mistaken, this necklace seems to be the prized possession of Jade Hairpin Shop, worth three million."

This necklace alone is more precious than the gifts given to Xiang Mingche and his wife, as well as Si Aofu.

Si Aofu didn't care, but Xiang Mingche couldn't save face.

Si Qingwan was in a great mood. Although Bo Yusen couldn't come in person, his gift had arrived.

This shows that he still values ​​A-Yuan very much.

Now we'll see if Bo Yusen will go against Ji Yuting for A Yuan's sake.

"Blue Ocean..."

Si Yuan caught up with Lan Hai at her doorstep.

Before she could even ask, Lan Hai smiled slightly, "Miss Si, if you want to know anything, you should ask Master Jiu yourself."

personally……

Si Yuan followed Lan Hai's gaze and saw Bo Yusen's car.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Bo Yusen's handsome and aloof face.

"Thump thump thump—"

Si Yuan's heart was pounding, accompanied by a wave of guilt and sadness.

With mixed feelings, she walked towards the car. Just as she was about to speak, Bo Yusen's pleasant voice rang out, "If you want to apologize, then there's no need to say anything."

Si Yuan knew that Bo Yusen didn't like her saying "I'm sorry," so she pursed her lips. "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just..."

"Why……"

Bo Yusen sighed softly, "Come here."

Si Yuan was taken aback, then slowly leaned closer. Bo Yusen held the back of her neck, his forehead pressed against hers. "You don't need to explain to me. You have your reasons for doing whatever you want, and I believe in you and support you."

Si Yuan's nose stung terribly.

Why is he so good to her?

If he had treated her any worse, perhaps she wouldn't be in so much pain now.

"Then why did you send a gift?"

"you guess."

Si Yuan knew without even guessing.

Now everyone in the Si family knows they're together, and if Bo Yusen doesn't show up, they'll definitely gossip about him.

But it's different when this gift comes from Lan Hai.

He was thinking of her and supporting her.

"Alright... Go back and celebrate your mother's birthday properly."

"and you……"

"I'm going abroad this afternoon and will be back in two days."

Si Yuan nodded with tears in her eyes, "Mmm."

Then, without thinking, she kissed Bo Yusen on the lips, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay... Remember to eat well and sleep well."

Si Yuan smiled. "You too..."

Watching the car drive away, Si Yuan could no longer hold back her tears. She clutched her aching chest and cried.

She desperately wanted to rush out and call out to Bo Yusen, asking him to take her with him.

But she can't.

"Ah Yuan—"

Xiang Mingche's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Si Yuan hurriedly wiped away her tears, composed herself, and then turned to look at him calmly.

"You cried?"

"no."

Si Yuan tried to bypass Xiang Mingche and enter the room, but Xiang Mingche grabbed her arm.

Xiang Mingche stared into Si Yuan's eyes, "You're lying, you clearly cried."

Si Yuan was already annoyed, and seeing Xiang Mingche's persistent pestering only fueled her anger.

She angrily shook off Xiang Mingche's hand. "Are you ever going to stop?"

Xiang Mingche stood in front of Si Yuan, looking cynical. "I told you long ago that Bo Yusen is not the right person for you. He's only with you because he's attracted to your beauty and is just playing around with you."

"Hmph... He just sent a gift, but didn't even show up. Don't you understand what that means? He just wants to sleep with you; he has no intention of developing a deeper relationship with you..."
