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

Just as Si Yuan was in a state of utter confusion, a hand with distinct knuckles and warmth gently caressed her face.

"Bang bang bang—"

Si Yuan's heart pounded uncontrollably, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

When Si Yuan saw Bo Yusen kiss her with his eyes closed, she was startled. Before she could even process what was happening, she had already covered his mouth with her hand.

No, you can't—

Bo Yusen is drunk; she can't take advantage of him.

Si Yuan steadied herself and immediately stood up, but the next second—

Bo Yusen hooked his long arm around her neck, pulled her down, and with a twist, their positions changed instantly.

Si Yuan was pinned to the bed.

"Well……"

Before Si Yuan could speak, warm, soft lips pressed down on her.

In that instant, Si Yuan felt a chill run down her spine.

She instinctively struggled, pressing her hands against his chest, but he easily grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head.

Bo Yusen's kiss grew more urgent, carrying a hint of unyielding force.

Si Yuan heard his deep breathing from the side of her neck, mixed with the smell of alcohol, and felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She felt like she was drunk herself.

Panic overwhelmed her like a tidal wave; her heart pounded so hard it felt like it would burst from her chest. She was both terrified of the out-of-control situation and, at the same time, felt a flutter of excitement about the sudden kiss that she herself dared not admit.

no--

Something bad is bound to happen if this continues.

Seeing his unfocused eyes, Si Yuan knew he was completely drunk and unconscious.

Perhaps they mistook her for Gu Mingyue, or perhaps it was that woman from before...

But it definitely won't be her.

To prevent Bo Yusen from regretting it after waking up, Si Yuan closed her eyes and bit his lip hard.

The sweet, metallic taste of blood instantly filled their mouths. Bo Yusen felt the pain, but he still did not let go of Si Yuan.

Instead, the kisses became even more ferocious, as if they wanted to tear Si Yuan apart and swallow her whole.

The phone suddenly rang. Even without seeing the phone, Si Yuan knew it was most likely Gu Yinhe calling.

It's already 11 o'clock, and she still hasn't gone over. Gu Yinhe will definitely call to ask.

When Si Yuan thinks of Gu Yinhe, she inevitably thinks of Gu Mingyue.

Bo Yusen was drunk and confused, mistaking someone for someone else. She was sober; how could she let such a thing happen?

She had already decided not to bother him anymore and just wanted to see him happy.

So what is this for?

Thinking about how she felt a flutter in her heart because of that kiss, Si Yuan's self-loathing increased.

She clenched her fists and used all her strength to push Bo Yusen away.

She didn't look at him again, picked up her bag from the ground, and fled the room as if escaping.

As soon as she left, Bo Yusen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and lucid, showing no trace of his previous intoxicated state.

Si Yuan panicked and stumbled out of the hotel, her phone ringing incessantly.

Si Yuan leaned against the wall, catching her breath for a few moments. After composing herself, she answered the phone, "Feed..."

"Thank goodness, A-Yuan, you finally answered the phone! I was worried something had happened to you since you hadn't arrived yet!"

Bo Yusen is Gu Yinhe's future brother-in-law. Thinking about what had just happened, Si Yuan felt somewhat guilty towards Gu Yinhe.

"sorry……"

"Huh? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

"I'm very tired tonight, I want to go home and rest..."

"Hey, I thought it was something big. It's okay, it's just a small party. You don't have to come. But you can't miss the big party I'm having after my villa is renovated."

Si Yuan responded softly, "I definitely have to go."

"Okay, then you should go home and get some rest. See you tomorrow."

"good……"

Not long after hanging up the phone, Shen Xingzhu sent a WeChat message: "What's going on?"

Si Yuan hailed a taxi home. "I'm tired, I'm going home. You keep Yinhe company and have some fun."

"Just give me a call if you need anything, I'm always here for you."

Si Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Putting away her phone, Si Yuan leaned back in her chair and sighed heavily.

the other side.

Lu Xiao finally managed to find time to come to the club, only to hear from Gu Yinhe that Si Yuan wasn't coming.

He drank several glasses of wine and felt a burning sensation in his stomach.

"How can I win A-Yuan's heart?"

Gu Yinhe patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder, "The road ahead is long and arduous, keep going."

Seeing Lu Xiao's pitiful look, Shen Xingzhu advised him directly, "You can't win A Yuan's heart, just give up."

Lu Xiao wasn't a big drinker and had already had quite a bit to drink. "I haven't even started yet, how do you know I can't win you over?"

Shen Xingzhu pictured Bo Yusen holding Si Yuan in her mind. Lu Xiao was just a little kid; how could he compare to the charming Ninth Master Bo?

Although she didn't know what Bo Yusen was thinking, it was impossible for Bo Yusen and A Yuan to break off their relationship so easily.

"If you don't want to get hurt, give up as soon as possible."

"impossible--"

This is the first time in Lu Xiao's life that he has liked a girl this much. How could he give up before even pursuing her?

If he hadn't been bound by the contract with Huanyu Group, he wouldn't have hesitated to pursue it for so long.

Shen Xingzhu left at 12 o'clock, while Gu Yinhe and Lu Xiao played with the others until 1:30.

At the entrance of the clubhouse.

Lu Xiao was completely drunk. Gu Yinhe was helping Lu Xiao up and was about to call a car to take him home when Jiang Zhe and Yu Muchen caught them red-handed.

Jiang Zhe crossed his arms and glared at the two of them. "Well, you two little brats are getting bolder and bolder. Staying out so late and drinking like this..."

Yu Muchen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lu Xiao's arm around Gu Yinhe's neck. He walked over, grabbed Lu Xiao's arm, and tossed him to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe was caught off guard and was almost overpowered by Lu Xiao.

"Damn it... couldn't you at least let me know before you dumped him here?"

Yu Muchen stared at Gu Yinhe, "Little Princess Gu, you play so late every day, aren't you afraid of running into bad people?"

Gu Yinhe rolled her eyes at Yu Muchen. "Who can be as bad as you!"

Yu Muchen laughed, "Then tell me, what did I do to make you think I'm bad?"

Yu Muchen rarely smiles, unlike Bo Yusen who doesn't like to smile. He always gives people a gloomy feeling.

Seeing him smile gave Gu Yinhe goosebumps; she felt a chill run down her spine.

Don't you have any self-awareness about what you've done?

"Hmph... If you men had gone home earlier, the girl would never have been in danger."

Gu Yinhe looked at Jiang Zhe, "Brother Zhe, Lu Xiao is in your hands now."

Although the Gu family doesn't stop Gu Yinhe from going out to play, they always have their driver pick her up if she stays out late.

Gu Yinhe got into the car, didn't look at Yu Muchen, but waved to Jiang Zhe, "I'm leaving."

Watching the car drive away, Yu Muchen took out a cigarette and lit it.

Jiang Zhe, supporting the unsteady Lu Xiao, bumped into Yu Muchen's shoulder. "I've noticed you've been acting really strange lately..."

Yu Muchen glanced at Jiang Zhe with little expression.

Jiang Zhe stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "You wouldn't... have fallen for Yinhe, would you?"

Yu Muchen remained silent.

This made Jiang Zhe very upset. "I advise you to stop immediately before you get too deeply involved."

Yu Muchen exhaled a puff of smoke, which obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

If he had nothing to hide, Yu Muchen would definitely refute it; his silence means Jiang Zhe's guess is correct.

"I'm not your brother... Of all the people you could like, why did you have to fall for the little princess...?"

As a brother, Jiang Zhe knew how difficult Yu Muchen's journey had been. If he could meet someone who cared for him and was kind to him, he would feel at ease.

But it was Gu Yinhe.

Gu Yinhe is the little princess of the Gu family. Regardless of the difference in status between the Gu family and the Yu family, given that Yu Muchen is an illegitimate child, the Gu family would never marry their most precious daughter to Yu Muchen.

Besides, Gu Yinhe dislikes Yu Muchen so much.

Jiang Zhe sighed heavily in his heart. Why is it that everyone around him has such a bumpy road in love?

But honestly, I'm the most miserable one; I haven't met anyone I like yet.

"Um... Ah Yuan..."

Lu Xiao, still half-asleep, hugged Jiang Zhe's neck and started nibbling, "I like you, I like you so much..."

Jiang Zhe, enraged, slapped Lu Xiao on the head, "I forgot you were such a troublemaker!"

Hearing a man's voice, Lu Xiao groggily opened his eyes, "Cousin...it's you..."

"Hehe... It's not Si Yuan, I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

"cousin--"

Lu Xiao threw himself into Jiang Zhe's arms and burst into tears, "I really like A Yuan, please give A Yuan to me, okay?"

Jiang Zhe was completely confused. What was going on?!

"You and A-Yuan are completely mismatched; there's no good outcome for you two being together..."

"You son of a bitch..."

Jiang Zhe finally understood. No wonder this kid had been acting so strangely towards him lately.

It turns out it was a misunderstanding between him and Si Yuan...

"Yes, yes, you're right. There's no good outcome for me and Si Yuan, but there's even less of a good outcome for you and her. If you don't want to cry even louder later, then you better give up on Si Yuan right now..."

"I don't... I want A-Yuan... Cousin, please help me..."

Jiang Zhe: "..."

Jiang Zhe dotes on his cousin Lu Xiao. When Lu Xiao was a child, Jiang Zhe would buy him whatever he wanted.

But Si Yuan can't be bought with money, and besides, there's also Bo Yusen...

Others may not understand Bo Yusen, but Jiang Zhe understands him very well.

Bo Yusen signed Lu Xiao with a clause stipulating that he could not date for a year.

I went to attend the Starlight Awards ceremony and even made a special trip through the backstage area.

And these ridiculous tricks that make people prepare glutinous rice cakes—

He doesn't seem like he can let go of Si Yuan at all.

"Help me my ass, go home and sleep—"

They're all such a worry.

The next day.

Si Yuan went to work with dark circles under her eyes and found that Gu Yinhe's dark circles were even worse than hers.

Gu Yinhe walked up to Si Yuan and rested her head on Si Yuan's shoulder. "Ah Yuan, didn't you sleep well last night either?"

"I'm so tired, I'm having trouble sleeping. What's wrong with you?"

"Oh dear, don't even mention it, I had a terrible nightmare..."

"Hmm? What did you dream about?"

Gu Yinhe was about to speak, but then held back.

You can't exactly say she dreamt she got married, and that her husband was Yu Muchen, can you?

Just thinking about this nightmare makes me break out in a cold sweat.
