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

"you……"

Si Yuan frowned and pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "How can someone be so unreasonable? It's her body, why shouldn't she have the right to decide?"

Bo Yusen continued feeding Xie Zhizhou with a spoon, saying, "If you want to know about Xie Zhizhou, then obediently drink your porridge."

Thinking of Xie Zhizhou's suicide for his sister, Si Yuan couldn't help but feel sad again.

"What if I say I want to leave now?"

Bo Yusen smiled and said, "If you already know the answer, why ask?"

Si Yuan took a deep breath. Whether in terms of physical strength or mental strength, she was no match for Bo Yusen.

If you're smart, you should cooperate with him first.

"I...I can do it myself..."

Si Yuan reached for the bowl, but Bo Yusen dodged her.

Bo Yusen looked at her quietly, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Open your mouth."

Si Yuan closed her eyes. Oh well, she'd eaten what he fed her before anyway.

He simply opened his mouth as if to give up.

The porridge was soft, tender, and sweet, with the addition of bird's nest and sweet potato, giving it a sweet flavor that Si Yuan liked.

233: (◍•ᴗ•◍).

During the meal, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room was quiet, but not awkward. In fact, the presence of 233 made it feel quite cozy.

Si Yuan couldn't eat much after that.

Bo Yusen didn't force her to finish the bowl of porridge. He put down the bowl, took out a tissue, and wiped Si Yuan's mouth.

Si Yuan instinctively dodged backward, only to have a large hand press down on the back of her neck.

Bo Yusen pulled her towards him, and Si Yuan was caught off guard; their lips almost touched.

Si Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but Bo Yusen acted as if nothing had happened, calmly wiping Si Yuan's mouth.

"Xie Zhizhou has no family. His suicide note said that you should handle his body. Without your permission, no one dares to touch his body."

Si Yuan lowered her eyes, concealing the sadness in her heart. "Where is he now?"

"funeral parlor."

"I want to go see him."

Bo Yusen looked at Si Yuan quietly without saying a word.

Even though the two had already broken up, Si Yuan immediately understood Bo Yusen's meaning.

"I just want to give Xie Zhizhou a proper burial. As for other things, we can talk about them later..."

I need an answer from you right now.

Bo Yusen's tone was calm, but his attitude was very assertive.

"What's the answer?"

"From now on, you'll only listen to me."

The unintended meaning of this sentence is that it means Si Yuan should completely surrender herself to Bo Yusen.

Si Yuan remained silent.

Bo Yusen seemed confident and didn't rush Si Yuan, just quietly staring at her.

Bo Yusen is a master strategist in the business world and a renowned negotiator.

Si Yuan was no match for him at all.

"You know perfectly well I'm not a good person... why do you have to..."

"I only want you. Whether you're a good person or a bad person, I'll make my own judgment."

Si Yuan frowned. "What about the Milky Way?"

"Yinhe doesn't like me. The Gu family elders feel sorry for their daughter and have already dissolved the engagement with the Bo family."

Si Yuan's pupils dilated little by little.

Bo Yusen moved closer to Si Yuan and gently touched her face. His tone was no longer as forceful as before, but instead became pitiful, "Nobody wants me right now. Miss Si, please have mercy and take me in."

Si Yuan: "..."

Her heart was violently struck, and Si Yuan saw her own stunned reflection in Bo Yusen's dark eyes.

She suddenly remembered what her sister had said.

"Ah Yuan, life is short, don't wait until you lose something to regret it."

"It's a pity that Zhizhou and I couldn't be together, but I hope that you and Bo Yusen can have a happy ending."

"I know you still love Bo Yusen, but the Si family is not your responsibility. You can't let the Si family trap you. You have to live for yourself."

"Don't let down those who love you because of the Si family and your mother."

Si Yuan was still conflicted when she heard these words.

The deaths of Si Aofu and Xie Zhizhou, who committed suicide for love, served as a stark warning to Si Yuan.

She can let down anyone, but she cannot let down Bo Yusen.

Si Yuan looked at Bo Yusen with red eyes, "But in my current state, do you really still want to be with me?"

Bo Yusen rested his head on Si Yuan's head. "Si Yuan, I don't think I've ever told you this before—"

"I love you--"

"I love you for who you are, no matter what you become."

"You don't need to worry about anything else, just stay by my side and love me well."

Si Yuan could no longer control her overwhelming emotions. She suddenly threw herself into Bo Yusen's arms, holding him tightly. "I'm sorry... my actions before hurt you..."

Bo Yusen didn't say "It's okay," but instead cupped her face, making her look at him, "So you have to spend the rest of your life making it up to me."

Si Yuan didn't know how to make amends, her eyes filled with helplessness. "What if I can't make amends?"

"Fool, having you by my side makes up for it."

Si Yuan's tears flowed freely once again.

Bo Yusen wiped away Si Yuan's tears. "I don't want to see you cry anymore, except in bed."

Si Yuan sniffed, "..."

Si Yuan personally escorted Xie Zhizhou's remains to be cremated.

Si Yuan understood that Xie Zhizhou entrusting the body to her for disposal was essentially giving her the choice.

If Si Yuan accepts him as her brother-in-law, then let Si Yuan bury him and Si Aofu together.

If Si Yuan doesn't approve, and feels that he didn't fight for Si Aofu before, didn't stand up to Si Qingwan, and is therefore unworthy of Si Aofu, then she can dispose of his ashes at will.

Si Yuan buried Xie Zhizhou and Si Aofu together.

In this world, only Xie Zhizhou deserves to stay by his sister's side.

Si Aofu's death was still too much of a blow to Si Yuan.

She can't stand the sound of brakes anymore, and she becomes even more anxious on rainy days.

She locked herself in the bathroom and wouldn't open the door no matter how much Bo Yusen knocked.

Bo Yusen thought of the injuries on Si Yuan's arms and realized he couldn't leave her alone.

"Bang—"

Bo Yusen kicked open the bathroom door violently, and like a burglar, he carried Si Yuan out, who was soaking in the ice water and shivering.

Knowing that Si Yuan would hurt herself, no sharp weapons were kept in the bathroom.

When Si Yuan couldn't find anything, she bit her own arm with her teeth.

It seemed that only pain could make her feel a little better.

Upon seeing the bloody, mangled teeth marks on her arm, Bo Yusen immediately contacted Jiang Yingxue.

He then instructed Lan He to send all the documents he needed to sign to Yuan Shan Dai, as he planned to work from home long-term.

He will not leave Si Yuan until she is fully recovered.

Si Yuan's condition fluctuated.

When things are going well, I snuggle in Bo Yusen's arms, helping him with his paperwork, or watching 233's clumsy performance.

When she's feeling down, even when Bo Yusen holds her in his arms, she can break down and scream, hurting herself.

"Don't bite yourself, bite me if you want to—"

Bo Yusen would put his hand to Si Yuan's mouth and let Si Yuan bite it.

When Si Yuan has an attack, she has no idea what she is doing.

When she sobers up and sees the teeth marks on Bo Yusen's hands, she will feel so guilty that she will break down.

Si Yuan held Bo Yusen's hand, tears streaming down her face, and apologized, "I'm sorry... I didn't know I would do this... Next time... next time if I have an episode, just tie me up... and gag me..."
