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

Even if Gu Yinhe is very easygoing, she understands the stakes involved.

She addressed the young lady who had raised the question, saying, "Our daughter, A-Yuan, is simple and traditional. She would never have a relationship with anyone before marriage, let alone get pregnant."

This gathering was organized by Gu Yinhe's group, and everyone could see how much she valued Si Yuan, so naturally they dared not offend her.

The young lady immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, my sister is in this state during her pregnancy, so I said it without thinking."

Gu Yinhe frowned. "Then you should think twice before you speak in the future, so that you don't make others spend time clarifying something you said unintentionally."

"I'm sorry, Mingyue... I'm sorry, Miss Si... I'll punish myself with three drinks..."

Si Yuan glanced gratefully at Gu Yinhe, then smiled at everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm not feeling well today and I've spoiled your fun. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."

Gu Yinhe was unusually happy and hosted a banquet for everyone, and Si Yuan didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of her.

Sure enough, the atmosphere immediately relaxed after those words were spoken.

"Ah Yuan, you look terrible. Let me take you home."

"There are still many people here. You stay and play with everyone. I'll go back by myself."

Lu Xiao immediately stood up. "I'll take you..."

Gu Yinhe shoved Lu Xiao into a chair. "You better shut up!"

Although her words had a deterrent effect, they couldn't control everyone's thoughts and actions.

Ah Yuan was just suspected of being pregnant, and Lu Xiao is being so attentive.

If Lu Xiao were to take A Yuan back again, by tomorrow, rumors about the two of them would be flying everywhere.

Gu Mingyue stared intently at Si Yuan, and when Si Yuan looked over, she gave a faint smile.

The hostility vanished so quickly that Si Yuan thought it was just her imagination.

Stepping out of the restaurant and breathing in the fresh air, Si Yuan felt a little more alive.

So tired—

My stomach hurts so much.

It hurts so much—

She struggled to the side of the road, and just as she was about to hail a taxi, a black Cullinan pulled up beside her.

At a glance, Si Yuan recognized it as Bo Yusen's car.

Sure enough, the next second Lan Hai got out of the driver's seat and opened the back door for her. "Ms. Si, please..."

This scene seemed to bring back memories of the past, leaving Si Yuan somewhat dazed.

But time cannot be reversed.

She looked at Lan Hai, "Mr. Bo... is there something you need from me?"

Even though one of them was inside the car and the other was outside, they could still hear each other talking.

But Si Yuan didn't speak to Bo Yusen; she asked about Lan Hai.

"Miss Si will find out once she gets in the car."

Si Yuan frowned. She didn't know why Gu Mingyue hadn't left with Bo Yusen, nor did she know why Bo Yusen was waiting for her.

She hesitated for a few seconds, but finally got into the car.

The car was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere was heavy and eerie.

Since getting into the car, Si Yuan kept her eyes down and didn't look at Bo Yusen.

Bo Yusen remained silent, and the two of them just sat there, making Si Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

The pleasant scent of pine wood wafted into Si Yuan's nostrils, making her heart flutter.

Several times she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.

What exactly does he want to do?

In the restroom, didn't he look like he really disliked her?

Why did you let her get on the bus?

With a belly full of questions, Si Yuan instantly found the answers the moment the car stopped in front of the hospital.

It turned out that he thought she was pregnant and would use the child to threaten him in the future, so he brought her to the hospital for an abortion.

Lan Hai opened the car door, and Si Yuan, clenching her fist, looked at Bo Yusen. "I'm not pregnant."

Bo Yusen finally glanced at Si Yuan, his dark eyes devoid of any warmth. "Do you think you still have any credibility with me?"

Si Yuan gasped for breath.

Indeed, after what happened with the diary, she really didn't have much credibility with him anymore.

Si Yuan had promised Ji Yuting that she wouldn't get pregnant, and she hadn't poked holes in the condom, so she shouldn't be pregnant.

But with her period so long delayed, even she herself was a little unsure.

"understood."

When Si Yuan entered the hospital, she discovered that Bo Yusen had already arranged everything in advance.

After blood tests, urine tests, and ultrasounds, the whole process took until 9:30 p.m.

While waiting for the results, Si Yuan sat in a chair far away from Bo Yusen.

"Miss Si, have some hot water..."

Lan Hai handed a cup of hot water to Si Yuan, whose face was pale and looked extremely haggard.

Si Yuan took the water. "Thank you, Assistant Lan."

While drinking water, she secretly glanced at Bo Yusen. He was standing by the window making a phone call, and she could only see his tall, imposing, and aloof back; she couldn't see his face.

I don't know if he was making a work call or having a long phone conversation with Gu Mingyue.

Just then, Si Yuan's phone rang. Seeing that it was Si Qingwan calling, she pursed her lips but answered anyway.

"Mother……"

"Ah Yuan, I heard that Ninth Master Bo took you to the hospital? Your period hasn't come yet this month, could it be... you're pregnant...?"

Before Si Yuan could speak, Si Qingwan said anxiously, "A Yuan, no matter what, you must find a way to save this child. He is the future and hope of the Si family—"

Si Yuan listened expressionlessly, feeling a sense of disgust for the Si family and for herself for the first time.

"Mr. Bo, the test results are in."

The doctor's voice wasn't quiet, and Si Qingwan on the other end of the phone heard it too, "A-Yuan—"

Si Yuan's heart jumped.

Bo Yusen looked at the doctor, who said, "Ms. Si is not pregnant. Her period is delayed due to a physical condition, caused by hormonal imbalance..."

In that instant, Si Yuan didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed.

After a few seconds of silence, Si Qingwan on the other end of the phone said, "It's getting late, let's go home."

Si Yuan sensed the disappointment in Si Qingwan's tone. Indeed, with the last bargaining chip of sucking Bo Yusen's blood gone, her mother was bound to be disappointed.

"good……"

After hanging up the phone, Si Yuan slowly walked towards Bo Yusen. "Mr. Bo, you can rest assured now."

Bo Yusen stared at her with his deep black eyes. Si Yuan wondered if it was just her imagination, but he seemed disappointed as well.

That must be a misperception. He brought her here for an abortion. If she's not pregnant, there's no need for all that trouble; he should be happy.

"Can I go now?"

Bo Yusen glanced at Lan Hai. "Miss Si, I'll take you home."

"Thank you, Assistant Lan, but there's no need to trouble yourself..."

She turned and left without looking at Bo Yusen again.

Bo Yusen frowned deeply as he watched Si Yuan's increasingly thin figure grow thinner.

When Si Yuan got home, she was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

When Si Qingwan saw Si Yuan return, her first reaction wasn't to show concern, but rather to ask, "Young Master Lu saved you before and told you to go and thank him. Did you go?"

so tired...

I'm more tired than ever before.

Si Yuan just wanted to stay quiet for a while, or take a nap, if she could fall asleep.

So he nodded perfunctorily and said, "I'm going."

Si Qingwan: "Although Young Master Lu is from a branch of the Jiang family, the Lu family has developed rapidly in recent years, especially Lu Xiao. Don't let his unreliable rock singer appearance fool you; he actually owns many businesses..."

"Mother……"

Si Yuan interrupted Si Qingwan for the first time, "I'm very tired, let me catch my breath."

Si Qingwan's breath hitched. Seeing this, He Shuqing smiled at Si Qingwan and said, "It's getting late. Let Ayuan take a bath and rest. The child has been working all day and must be tired."

Si Qingwan's expression was not good, but seeing Si Yuan's tired and pale face, she nodded, "Go."

Seeing Si Yuan go upstairs, Si Qingwan sighed, "I'm only doing this for her own good. There aren't many outstanding young people left in the five major families. If she doesn't hurry up, what will she do in the future?"

He Shuqing gently massaged Si Qingwan's shoulders, "Having experienced two failed relationships, A-Yuan must be deeply hurt. We need to give her some time to recover..."

Si Qingwan disagreed with He Shuqing's viewpoint. "Women of the Si family should not be so immersed in their emotions that they can't move on. A Yuan is going to inherit the Si family, so she shouldn't have any feelings."

After speaking, Si Qingwan returned to her room expressionlessly.

He Shuqing sighed heavily.

Another sleepless night.

Even though she was exhausted, Si Yuan couldn't fall asleep in bed.

Her mind was filled with the words Bo Yusen had said to her that day.

No matter how strong or indifferent I pretend to be during the day, I still can't help but cry when I'm lying in bed.

With a dull, aching pain in her chest, Si Yuan clutched her chest in agony and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Yingxue.

"Dr. Jiang, could you prescribe some sleeping pills for me?"

The next day.

Gu Yinhe officially reported to Beijing TV station. Dressed in professional attire, she was youthful and beautiful, and her presence was like a breath of fresh air.

Upon seeing Si Yuan, Gu Yinhe happily ran over, twirled in front of her, and showed off her clothes.

"Ah Yuan...do I look pretty today?"

Si Yuan smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Absolutely gorgeous."

"hey-hey……"

Gu Yinhe was pleased by the praise, hooked her arm around Si Yuan's neck, and whispered in her ear, "I came here in disguise this time. I can't let everyone know that I am my father's daughter and my sister's sister. I'll let everyone think that I'm a newcomer."

Si Yuan: "...That might not work..."

"Why?"

"Because there's a family photo of you all in your sister's office, and you're standing in the center, wearing red. Anyone who's ever been in your sister's office can spot you immediately."

Gu Yinhe: "..."

The plan to conceal their identities was aborted in an instant.

Sure enough, when people who came to work saw Gu Yinhe, they greeted her warmly and even prepared gifts for her.

When Si Yuan first came, she didn't receive this kind of treatment.

Gu Yinhe spent the morning socializing, and at noon she complained to Si Yuan, "Socializing is so tiring."

Si Yuan looked at her and couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind, "Didn't you study business administration? Why do you suddenly want to be a host?"

Gu Yinhe pouted, "I spent two days at the company, learning how to manage the company from my dad every day. It was so boring."
