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

"My rejection of you has nothing to do with anyone else."

Bo Yusen looked at Gu Mingyue indifferently, "It's purely because I only consider you a friend, and I have no romantic feelings for you whatsoever."

Gu Mingyue chuckled.

That's the Bo Yusen she knew; he wouldn't leave any room for compromise when it came to people or things he didn't like.

They can be as ruthless as they want.

Because she understood him, she realized that he was acting very strangely after breaking up with Si Yuan.

Logically speaking, since Si Yuan hurt him, he should not want to see Si Yuan again, but he allowed Si Yuan to appear in front of him.

Even with the intention of marrying Gu Yinhe, he allowed Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe to get so close.

Does he really want to marry Eunha?

Or is he trying to provoke Si Yuan by marrying Yinhe?

Gu Mingyue prided herself on being the person who understood Bo Yusen the most, but now she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Then may I ask... are you truly interested in marrying Yinhe?"

Bo Yusen looked at Gu Yinhe through the window. Their eyes met, and Gu Yinhe immediately lowered her head and pretended to be busy.

Bo Yusen calmly withdrew his gaze. "You only asked me to answer one question honestly, and I have already answered it."

The implication is that there is no obligation to answer another question.

Gu Mingyue smiled helplessly, "You're still the same. I used to think that as long as I tried hard, I could win your heart. Now it seems that your heart isn't something that can be won over by effort."

Gu Mingyue seemed relieved and said lightly, "Thinking about it carefully, there are so many men out there for me to choose from. I can't waste so much of my time and youth on you..."

The phone rang. Bo Yusen looked down at it, then stood up and looked at Gu Mingyue, "You will definitely meet a man who has your whole heart and eyes."

Gu Mingyue was heartbroken, but she still had to put on a forced smile. "Of course, after all, I'm so outstanding."

"I have to go now."

Gu Mingyue gripped the pen tightly, watching Bo Yusen's departing figure with lingering reluctance, the smile on her face gradually fading.

Seeing that he took the initiative to go to Gu Yinhe, he broke the pen in his hand in a fit of anger.

Gu Yinhe was terrified of Bo Yusen. When she heard that Bo Yusen was coming to pick her up from get off work that night, she was completely terrified.

Meanwhile, in Meng Huaijin's office.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I hope the teacher will grant my request."

Before becoming an excellent news anchor, Si Yuan still has a lot to do.

Rather than waiting for announcements at the TV station, she would prefer to participate in some meaningful activities.

There's a cycling race around Xihai Lake these days, and she wants to host the event and take the opportunity to relax.

However, given the high altitude of the West Sea, Meng Huaijin worried that Si Yuan would not be able to adapt to its climate.

Seeing Si Yuan's insistence, and noticing her recent restlessness, Meng Huaijin agreed.

As soon as Si Yuan stepped out of Meng Huaijin's office, Gu Mingyue came looking for her.

"Shall we chat?"

Si Yuan didn't know what Gu Mingyue wanted to talk about, but she nodded anyway.

The two went to the tea room, where Gu Mingyue personally poured Si Yuan a glass of water.

"Thank you, Sister Mingyue..."

Si Yuan took the water, but didn't drink it.

Gu Mingyue looked at Si Yuan calmly, "I know you and Yu Sen were together before."

Si Yuan looked at Gu Mingyue, showing no surprise at her words.

Sure enough, all those ambiguous things Gu Mingyue said and did with Bo Yusen before were deliberately done for her to see.

"I can also tell that you still have feelings for Yusen..."

Just as Si Yuan was about to speak, Gu Mingyue didn't give her a chance, "No need to rush to refute, we're all women, we can all feel it."

Gu Mingyue leaned against the table, picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. "But now that Yu Sen is going to marry Yinhe, if you want Yu Sen, you have to snatch him away from Yinhe."

Si Yuan wasn't stupid; how could she not realize that Gu Mingyue wanted to use her to deal with Gu Yinhe?

But aren't the Gu sisters very close?

Gu Mingyue, for the sake of a man, had her rival go against her own sister?

"I'm sorry, Yinhe is my friend. I would never do anything to hurt her. Besides, now that I've broken up with Mr. Bo, I will wish him well no matter who he's with, and I won't try to sabotage things."

"Oh--"

Gu Mingyue suddenly laughed, but the smile no longer contained her intellectual gentleness; instead, it carried a hint of contempt.

"I really don't know if you're deceiving yourself or lying to me."

Si Yuan frowned slightly.

"Even if what you're saying is true, do you think Yinhe would still consider you her friend if she knew about your relationship with Yusen?"

Gu Mingyue put down her cup and looked coldly at Si Yuan. "I bet you didn't tell Yinhe about you and Yusen."

Si Yuan's face also went expressionless. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Gu Mingyue: "My younger sister is very easygoing and forgiving, but she hates being deceived or kept in the dark, especially since she already considers you her best friend..."

"You should be able to tell that Yinhe is very afraid of Yusen. She has always treated Yusen like an older brother and doesn't have any romantic feelings for him. If you feel guilty, shouldn't you help her out?"

Si Yuan laughed, "In the end, all Mingyue wants is for me to break up Bo Yusen and Gu Yinhe."

"You think dealing with me is much easier than dealing with Gu Yinhe, so you're using me as cannon fodder to break them up, and then you'll reap the benefits."

Gu Mingyue's thoughts were exposed by Si Yuan, but she showed no panic or embarrassment.

Instead, she raised an eyebrow, giving an expression that said even if Si Yuan knew what she was thinking, she couldn't do anything to her.

Si Yuan smiled and shook her head. "Unfortunately, you underestimated Bo Yusen. He's not some commodity that belongs to whoever wins the fight. Rather, he is whoever he chooses."

Gu Mingyue's expression froze.

Si Yuan placed the water glass that Gu Mingyue had given her on the table, then looked up at Gu Mingyue with a faint gaze.

"I'd like to pass on to you the same thing Sister Mingyue just said to me..."

"I'm just a friend to Yinhe, but you're her older sister. No one can compare to you in her heart. Don't hurt her feelings."

After saying that, Si Yuan turned and left without looking at Gu Mingyue again.

Gu Mingyue felt provoked by Si Yuan and was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her face turned as ugly as could be.

As soon as Si Yuan returned to her workstation, Gu Yinhe eagerly approached her. "Yuan, Yu Sen said he'd pick me up after get off work. I don't want to go home tonight. Can I come to your place?"

Si Yuan took a deep breath. "Yinhe, I have something to tell you."

Si Yuan pulled Gu Yinhe out of the house and went to the rooftop.

"Ah Yuan, you look terrible. Did something happen?"

Looking at Gu Yinhe's worried yet innocent face, Si Yuan felt a pang of sadness. "Yinhe, there's something I've been keeping from you, but I swear I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that given the circumstances, I didn't know how to bring it up."

"what?"

Gu Yinhe looked completely bewildered. "What's wrong?"

"Bo Yusen and I...were together before..."
