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

When Si Yingying and Si Aofu were there, Si Qingwan's expression was solemn, and she didn't show anything.

As soon as the two left, Si Yuan sat down on the sofa, preparing to comfort Si Qingwan—

Si Qingwan seemed to have shed all her pretense, revealing a sad expression.

"Mother……"

Because of her previous education, Si Yuan always felt there was something between her and Si Qingwan.

This left Si Yuan unsure how to comfort Si Qingwan.

"I'm fine..."

Si Qingwan gently held Si Yuan's hand. "A Yuan, you've seen it too. Ao Fu is heartbroken and it will be hard for her to recover for a while. Ying Ying can't be relied on either. You're all I have now."

Si Qingwan has always been proud, and no matter how difficult things get, she never shows her emotions.

This was the first time Si Yuan had seen her with such a vulnerable expression, and it made her feel terrible.

"Don't worry, Mother, I will protect the Si family and you all."

Si Yuan knew that although the Si family was criticized by many people, as long as the Si family still existed, her mother and sister would have a peaceful life.

If the Si family ever falls out of the top five families, they will definitely be bullied to death.

Si Qingwan nodded with satisfaction. "Have you been in contact with Young Master Lu during this time?"

Hearing that Si Qingwan was still thinking of using marriage to solidify the Si family's position, Si Yuan sighed inwardly.

A mother's decades-old beliefs are hard to change overnight.

These things can't be rushed; we can only take it slowly.

"No... Young Master Lu has been very busy lately, and I have my own things to do too..."

To comfort Si Qingwan, Si Yuan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do."

Since Si Yuan had already said that, Si Qingwan couldn't say anything more.

On Monday, Gu Yinhe excitedly came to find Si Yuan.

"Ah Yuan, I've booked a private room tonight. Let's go celebrate."

Gu Yinhe loves excitement, and she throws parties to celebrate even the smallest good thing.

Si Yuan took the laptop out of her bag and placed it on the table, then smiled at her. "What good thing happened this time?"

"Hehe... I've been behaving well these past few days, so my dad bought me a villa."

Si Yuan was stunned. Gu's father truly lived up to his reputation as a doting father in the wealthy circles.

Gu Yinhe had only been working for the company for less than six months after graduation, yet he was already owning sports cars and villas.

Gu Yinhe was very happy. "I originally wanted to invite you to the villa, but the villa needs to be renovated, which will take at least half a year. Let's have a small party to celebrate first, and then I'll invite you to the villa after the renovation is finished."

Si Yuan was still shaken by the incident where Bo Yusen mistakenly held her hand last time.

I casually asked, "Who did you invite?"

"You, Xingzhu... and a few of my friends... Don't worry, my sister and Yusen aren't here..."

Upon hearing this, Si Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Don't you also feel that having them around makes the fun less enjoyable?"

"I……"

"Oh, don't be embarrassed. They're two generations removed from us. Whenever they're around, we're always busy watching their expressions. It's so annoying."

Si Yuan smiled and said, "However, I might not have time until after 10 p.m. tonight. Why don't you go ahead first, and I'll come find you after I'm done here?"

"OK……"

A short while later, Gu Yinhe came out in a hurry, "A-Yuan, I have to go out for a bit."

"Um?"

"Last night a girl was picked up by someone while drunk. When she woke up, all her money and jewelry were gone. I have to go and investigate."

"Picking up drunken shrimp?"

Si Yuan rarely frequents entertainment venues and doesn't know what "picking up drunken shrimp" means.

Gu Yinhe explained, "He was so drunk that he was unconscious and didn't even know he was being taken away by strangers."

Si Yuan: "..."

Time flies when you're busy, especially with Gu Yinhe's constant stream of WeChat messages.

Let me put it this way, I've met a lot of weird people, but this is the first time I've seen one this weird.

She was raped and all her belongings were stolen, but do you know why she wants to find her attacker?

[It's not about sending the other person to jail, nor is it about getting them to return the money; it's about wanting to sleep with them again!]

She said that although she was drunk and not fully conscious, she felt great...

Whether she's happy or not, I don't know. I just want to crack open her head and see how a brain capable of such thoughts could be formed.

Si Yuan couldn't help but chuckle; she could almost picture Gu Yinhe's speechless expression.

Gu Yinhe finished early, so she didn't go back to the TV station. Instead, she sent a WeChat message to Si Yuan.

We'll head over there now. Hope you can come sooner rather than later.

【it is good. 】

Si Yuan accompanied Meng Huaijin to a lecture today, and by the time the lecture ended, it was already 9:50.

After seeing Meng Huaijin off, Si Yuan immediately hailed a taxi and went to the club where Gu Yinhe and the others were.

The car stopped, Si Yuan paid and got out. Just as she was about to walk towards the club, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Si Yuan's first reaction was that she had misread it.

After all, the man was drunk and leaning heavily on the woman.

But when Si Yuan saw that face, she was completely stunned. Who else could it be but Bo Yusen?

How could he get so drunk?

The woman supporting him was not Gu Mingyue, but a stranger.

The woman looked like she had struck gold, her face beaming with delight. She glanced around furtively, then reached out to flag down a car, as if she wanted to take Bo Yusen away.

Suddenly, the words she had just learned that afternoon popped into Si Yuan's mind.

Picking up drunken shrimp.

Si Yuan: "..."

Si Yuan's first reaction was to call Gu Mingyue, but the other party didn't even give her a chance to call, as she had already stopped a car.

They opened the car door and were about to put Bo Yusen into the car.

Si Yuan didn't have time to think. She rushed over immediately, blocking the woman with one hand and grabbing Bo Yusen's arm with the other.

He had his head down, so his face couldn't be seen, but as soon as Si Yuan got close, she could smell a strong odor of alcohol.

How much did he drink to get himself into this state?

"You can't take him with you."

Seeing someone trying to ruin her fun, the woman frowned and shoved Si Yuan, "Who are you?"

"I……"

For a moment, Si Yuan suddenly didn't know how to tell others about her relationship with Bo Yusen.

"He...he's my friend's boyfriend..."

Although she and Gu Mingyue could only be considered colleagues and not friends, she had no choice but to say that in order to prevent others from taking Bo Yusen away.

"ha?"

The woman laughed speechlessly. "Miss, aren't you being too nosy about your friend's boyfriend? Maybe he just feels that your friend can't satisfy him, so he's out looking for fun..."

Si Yuan was stunned. Gu Mingyue couldn't satisfy Bo Yusen?

It shouldn't be... right...

Damn it, is this the time to be thinking about these things?

Just as Si Yuan came to her senses, the woman pushed her again, saying, "Get out of the way! It's consensual, don't get in our way."

This was the first time Si Yuan had encountered such a situation.

What about the blue ocean?

Isn't he always by Bo Yusen's side? Why can't I see him today?

Si Yuan was very anxious, and in her haste, she didn't even know what she said.

The woman glared at Si Yuan angrily, "You just said he was your friend's boyfriend, and now you're saying he's your boyfriend again? What? You and your friend share a man?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Si Yuan realized that she had actually said that Bo Yusen was her boyfriend.

"...I mean, he's my ex-boyfriend..."

"Oh, so your ex-boyfriend got together with your current boyfriend after breaking up with you? Isn't he a total jerk? Perfect, I'll teach him a lesson tonight, as revenge for you."

The woman's face was full of eagerness, while Bo Yusen, perhaps feeling unwell, groaned twice in discomfort.

The woman smiled happily and said, "Sweetie, I'll take you home now."

Si Yuan frowned and stood directly in front of the car door.

The woman got angry. "Seriously, are you ever going to stop? You've completely ruined my mood!"

Seeing Si Yuan's stubbornness, the woman said helplessly, "How about this, we'll let him choose for himself, and see if he goes with you or with me..."

"If he goes with you, I'll let go without a word. But if he does come with me, don't be ungrateful and keep trying to stop us."

Si Yuan was a little nervous. When she broke up with Bo Yusen, it was such an embarrassing situation, and he even said that he never wanted to see her again.

How could I possibly go with her?

If she didn't see it, it wouldn't matter who Bo Yusen went with tonight.

But she saw it anyway, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

What if he regrets it afterward?

So no matter what, we have to find a way to take him away first.

Si Yuan gripped Bo Yusen's clothes tightly, her palms sweaty. She licked her lips and called out nervously, "Sen Sen..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bo Yusen, who had been motionless, broke free from the woman's arm and pulled Si Yuan into a tight embrace.

He pressed his entire body against her.

Si Yuan was caught off guard and almost fell, but an arm went through her slender waist and steadied her.

The woman who wasn't chosen glared at the two men, uttered a curt "bad luck," and then got into the car and left.

Si Yuan secretly rejoiced that Bo Yusen was finally not picked up as a drunken shrimp.

So here's the question: what should she do now?

I can't even spare a hand to contact anyone.

They can't let others see them arguing here, otherwise even if they had a million mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves clearly.

Left with no other choice, Si Yuan flagged down a car and asked the driver to help her get Bo Yusen into the car before heading to the hotel.

Bo Yusen is very picky; a regular room would be too uncomfortable for him.

Si Yuan booked a presidential suite on the rooftop.

After finally managing to get him to bed, when Bo Yusen collapsed, Si Yuan was pulled down with him.

Her face collided directly with his muscular chest.

After all that, Si Yuan was covered in sweat and exhausted. She tried to get up but found she had no strength left.

It seems I really need to train.

After a while, she propped herself up and was about to get up when she inadvertently glanced at Bo Yusen and met his dark, deep eyes, which seemed to be able to suck away one's soul.

Si Yuan gasped for breath.

When did he wake up?

Why did I have to wake up at this particular time?

What should I do?

How should I explain this situation to him?
