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

With the school anniversary approaching, Si Yuan's brooch design has made no progress.

Every time I run into Zheng Meimei at school, she takes the opportunity to mock and ridicule me.

This annoyed Si Yuan to no end.

What's even more annoying is that Xiang Mingche's birthday is coming up. Two days ago, Si Qingwan told her to prepare a gift and make sure Xiang Mingche is happy.

In previous years, Si Yuan had always made birthday gifts for Xiang Mingche by hand, as she felt that it made them more meaningful.

Xiang Mingche is not good enough for her now, so she spent money to buy one.

On the contrary, Si Yingying attaches great importance to Xiang Mingche's birthday.

She even went to ask Si Yuan, "Sister, what gift are you going to give Mingche for his birthday?"

Si Yuan didn't give her a definite answer, but just smiled and said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

This kept Si Yingying up for two nights, fearing that her gift was inferior to Si Yuan's and that Xiang Mingche would prefer Si Yuan.

Xiang Mingche's birthday party was held in Genting Highlands. To please Xiang Mingche, his cronies had already made all the arrangements.

The private room was quite lively.

Li Jiale also came.

He was still dressed impeccably, and when he saw Si Yuan, he walked towards her with a wicked smile. "Miss Si, it's been a while. How have you been?"

Si Yuan smiled faintly, "I heard that Young Master Li messed up the cooperation with Huanyu Group and was severely punished by President Li. He hasn't been able to get out of bed for several days."

The Li family is a materials supplier. Li Jiale didn't go there to discuss cooperation last time. Given the Li family's current status and position, how could they possibly get involved with the Bo family?

That admission ticket was obtained by Li Jiale's father through many connections and by spending a lot of money, hoping that his son could make a good impression on President Bo.

Unexpectedly, he offended President Bo and was kicked out.

How could Li's father not be angry?

Si Yuan rarely smiled in front of Li Jiale, and when Li Jiale saw her smile, he was momentarily stunned.

Realizing belatedly what she had said, he chuckled and leaned in.

He leaned closer to Si Yuan, staring at her captivating face. "Don't even mention not getting out of bed for a few days. Once you and Xiang Mingche break off your engagement, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed for the rest of your life."

"Yeah?"

Si Yuan looked at him quietly. "Really? Then I'll be watching with bated breath."

Li Jiale was taken aback.

What's going on?

Why isn't Si Yuan afraid at all? She even dares to challenge him?

Could it be that she has already hooked up with Bo Yusen?

Although she is very beautiful, none of the women in the entertainment industry who boast about their beauty can compare to her by even a third.

But Bo Yusen has seen all kinds of women. The eldest daughter of the Gu family is his childhood sweetheart. How could he possibly be interested in Si Yuan?

"Heh—you didn't use those tricks your Si family taught you to seduce Bo Yusen, did you?"

Si Yuan smiled. "Guess."

Li Jiale: "..."

When Si Yingying saw Si Yuan and Li Jiale together, she rolled her eyes, changed her angle, and secretly took a picture of the two of them.

"The birthday boy/girl is here!"

Seeing Xiang Mingche enter, Si Yuan ignored Li Jiale and walked towards Xiang Mingche.

But Si Yingying was faster and rushed to Xiang Mingche first.

She held up an exquisite gift box with both hands and handed it to Xiang Mingche, saying, "Happy birthday, Brother Mingche."

Si Yingying wore a pink princess dress today, and her hair was styled in a princess updo.

It has to be said that Si Qingwan's methods are quite impressive, managing to accomplish this in just two months.

Si Yingying has transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan.

"Thank you for the gift, Princess Yingying."

Xiang Mingche smiled as he accepted the gift, his captivating peach blossom eyes carrying an ambiguous meaning that made Si Yingying blush instantly.

"Want to open it and take a look? I don't know if you'll like it."

The crowd started to jeer, "Young Master Xiang, quickly show everyone the birthday present your future sister-in-law gave you."

Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Si Yingying's face turned green.

Si Yingying's emotions were written all over her face; Xiang Mingche was constantly testing her obedience.

"Alright, alright, I'll show you now."

Xiang Mingche opened the beautifully packaged gift box, inside which was a watch worth 100,000.

When Si Yingying first arrived at the Si family, Si Qingwan only gave her 200,000 yuan as pocket money.

She took out half of her money to buy a gift for Xiang Mingche, just to let him know how much she liked and valued him.

However, what Si Yingying didn't know was—

Xiang Mingche has celebrated his birthday for over twenty years, and the one thing he has in abundance is a watch.

Besides, when Xiang Mingche was in high school, he just threw away watches worth tens of thousands of yuan as toys.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Si Yingying looked on with anticipation.

Xiang Mingche closed the lid, smiling broadly. "Of course I like it. Even if Princess Yingying just picked up a ginkgo leaf from the ground, I would still like it."

Si Yingying was overjoyed and glanced triumphantly at Si Yuan. "Sister, what gift did you prepare for Brother Mingche?"

As far as Si Yingying knew, Si Yuan hadn't spent much money these past few days, so the gifts she bought definitely weren't as good as her own.

Xiang Mingche walked to Si Yuan's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "The gift my Ah Yuan prepared for me is definitely one of a kind."

A Yuan's brooches are truly one-of-a-kind.

The crowd started making a fuss again.

"Miss Si Yuan's gifts are always unique. I wonder what she prepared for Young Master Xiang this year?"

Li Jiale snorted coldly and sat on the sofa, looking at Xiang Mingche, who was being fawned over.

So damn hypocritical!

A cryptic gaze fell upon Si Yuan. She knew Xiang Mingche's filthy intentions, yet she still feigned indifference.

Oh--

She was indeed not as innocent and harmless as she seemed.

Li Jiale had been coveting Si Yuan for a long time. From the first time he met Si Yuan, he was completely infatuated with her.

But Si Yuan is Xiang Mingche's fiancée, so even if he had the desire, he wouldn't have the guts to do it.

He used to hate celebrating Xiang Mingche's birthday the most, watching him hug Si Yuan and show off their love, which was incredibly annoying.

Now that Xiang Mingche has other ideas, he naturally won't let such a good opportunity pass him by.

I thought Si Yuan was a simple girl who couldn't even kill a chicken, but I didn't expect her to have so many tricks up her sleeve.

Indeed, how could a daughter raised by the Si family be innocent?

He wanted to see what kind of gift Si Yuan would give Xiang Mingche after she learned his true colors.

Si Yuan looked at Xiang Mingche's expectant face and sneered inwardly. How dare she expect her gift?

"Happy birthday."

Si Yuan handed the prepared gift to Xiang Mingche.

Xiang Mingche happily opened it, but instead of the brooch he had been expecting, he found a tie, and it was green.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

No one expected that Si Yuan would give Xiang Mingche an ordinary tie.

Everyone looked at Xiang Mingche, whose handsome face was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly laughed, "My Ah Yuan knows me too well. She knew I really wanted to buy a green tie, so she brought it to me right away."

Xiang Mingche put away the tie, hugged Si Yuan, and said, "Ah Yuan, thank you. I want to collect ties in seven colors. Please help me complete the collection with the other colors too~"

Si Yuan's smile didn't reach her eyes, "Okay~"

When Si Yingying saw that the gift Si Yuan gave to Xiang Mingche was cheaper than hers, she immediately became proud.

But she asked, "Sister, what brand is this tie? I've never seen it before."

Since Si Yingying is going to become the heiress of the Si family, she naturally needs to understand the big brands at home and abroad.

Si Yuan's tie is clearly not from a high-end brand.

Si Yuan saw through Si Yingying's thoughts and said calmly, "It's indeed not a big brand; I made it myself."

"Young Master Xiang is so lucky. He always receives gifts made by Miss Si Yuan herself."

Xiang Mingche was instantly delighted, "That's... don't be envious, you can't have it."

Si Yingying stomped her foot, only to be outmaneuvered by Si Yuan, making her grit her teeth in anger.

"The cake is here, Mr. Xiang, come and blow out the candles and make a wish."

"Here it comes~"

As Xiang Mingche walked toward the cake, Si Yingying immediately moved closer and stood to his left.

Xiang Mingche pulled Si Yuan to his right.

Before the birthday song even ended, Xiang Mingche had already made his wish.

"Young Master Xiang, what did you wish for?"

Xiang Mingche laughed and said, "Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."

Li Jiale, with a nonchalant air, said, "I'm not a child anymore, why would I believe in this? But I do know what Young Master Xiang's birthday wish was."

"Young Master Li, why don't you tell us?"

Li Jiale grinned wickedly, "Of course, it's about marrying the Si family's daughter as soon as possible, am I right, Young Master Xiang?"
