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

"You blame the Si family for my father's death, but ask yourself honestly, don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

"You said A-Yuan isn't good enough for me, but actually, it's me who's not good enough for her—"

"So, now that she has finally decided to take me, please behave yourself and stop bothering us."

Bo Yusen's words were like a knife stabbing into Ji Yuting's chest.

After they left, Ji Yuting slumped onto the sofa, feeling a tightness and pain in her chest.

Gu Mingyue watched helplessly as Bo Yusen was taken away by Si Yuan, not daring to utter a sound.

It took her a while to recover from the shock.

She followed closely downstairs and came to Ji Yuting's side.

She sat on the sofa and gently took Ji Yuting's hand. "Aunt Ji, I'm sorry... I've let you down..."

Ji Yuting stared blankly at the gloomy weather outside. "No wonder..."

"What?"

"No wonder Yusen and I aren't close; it turns out he always knew how he got here?"

Ji Yuting lost her former pride and arrogance, replaced by sadness and despair at being exposed.

"Have I been doing something wrong all along?"

Seeing Ji Yuting's expression, Gu Mingyue was afraid that Ji Yuting wouldn't help her, so she immediately said, "Aunt Ji, you're not wrong, it's Si Yuan and Si Zhixia who are wrong..."

Ji Yuting painfully rubbed her forehead, not wanting Gu Mingyue to see her tears. "Mingyue, you should go home first today."

Gu Mingyue's heart sank, because she knew that Ji Yuting had truly given up on bringing her and Bo Yusen together.

Gu Mingyue clenched her fists, feeling wronged and guilty, and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Ji, it's all my fault for being useless..."

"It has nothing to do with you. I underestimated Yusen. Okay, I'm tired and want to rest."

Ji Yuting once again told Gu Mingyue to leave, and Gu Mingyue couldn't insist. "Okay, I'll come see you another day."

As Gu Mingyue walked out of the Bo family's old house, her face was as ugly as could be.

She thought she would have a great start today, but she never expected that Bo Yusen would still retain a sliver of rationality even after being drugged.

That last shred of reason led Bo Yusen to harm himself with a utility knife.

Seeing the blood flowing from his palm as he pushed her away, Gu Mingyue knew she was destined to fail.

"Mingyue, don't make me hate you."

Bo Yusen's cold gaze and ruthless words were still vivid in her mind's eye. Gu Mingyue closed her eyes tightly, then opened them again, her eyes filled with hatred.

She didn't understand why Si Yuan could do it, but she couldn't.

In the end, it's all Si Yuan's fault.

If Si Yuan didn't exist in this world, then Yu Sen would definitely be hers.

Si Yuan helped Bo Yusen into the car, only then did she notice the blood on Bo Yusen's hands.

She nervously grabbed Bo Yusen's hand, "What happened to your hand...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Bo Yusen's warm lips pressed against hers.

He was impatient and forceful, gripping Si Yuan's chin to prevent her from escaping.

"Ugh... Be careful... with your hands..."

Si Yuan was still concerned about Bo Yusen's hand, but Bo Yusen didn't care at all; he was about to explode.

"I won't die..."

Bo Yusen's kiss landed heavily, filled with intense desire and deep affection.

"Please don't dislike me..."

"Don't leave me..."

Si Yuan, remembering that he was talking about his birth, hugged his neck tightly. "Silly boy, you are the sun I can only look up to from afar. You illuminate the darkness where I am. How could I possibly despise you?"

The car braked suddenly and came to a screeching halt on the side of the road.

Lan Hai got off the bus and also carried 233 off the bus.

Snow began to fall outside, and Lan Hai lit a cigarette.

233 looked at Lan Hai, who was wearing a black coat, and asked a soul-searching question.

233(・・?): 【Why do I have to get off the bus too? Master is feeling very unwell, and I want to stay with him.】

Lan Hai glanced at 233 indifferently, "Right now, it's useless for the boss to be by his side except for Miss Si."

233(⊙ˍ⊙): [Why? I can detect that Master's body temperature is higher, his heart rate is faster, and he is currently in a state of extreme excitement—]

Before he could finish speaking, a watch was thrown out of the window.

233 can no longer detect Bo Yusen's physical condition.

Lan Hai squatted on the ground without saying a word, and 233 obediently squatted down next to Lan Hai.

A person and a robot, with a wobbly car not far away.

After three whole hours, Si Yuan couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

When she woke up again, she was already in the master bedroom of Yuanshan Dai.

Bo Yusen lay beside her, propping his chin up and gazing at her tenderly.

"woke up?"

A man who has been satisfied has a deep, magnetic voice that is exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Si Yuan blushed instantly when she thought about what happened in the car.

She was somewhat relieved that she had fainted at the time; otherwise, if Bo Yusen had carried her home in front of Lan Hai and 233, she wouldn't know how she would have faced them afterward.

But when Si Yuan thought about what Ji Yuting had done to Bo Yusen, she felt incredibly heartbroken.

She reached out and gently hugged Bo Yusen. "If you're sad, you can cry."

Bo Yusen gently kissed her forehead. "Why are you sad?"

Si Yuan was taken aback. "Your mother drugged you, aren't you upset?"

Suddenly, Si Yuan realized something. "Did you already guess that your mother would drug you?"

"It wasn't that I guessed it beforehand; I guessed it while we were eating."

Ji Yuting acted so strangely, suddenly bringing up Bo Qinghe.

Furthermore, knowing that there was no romantic relationship between Bo Qinghe and Ji Yuting, Bo Yusen naturally suspected Ji Yuting's motives for insisting that he come home for dinner and have him drink with her.

"Since you already guessed it, why did you still drink it?"

Bo Yusen looked at Si Yuan quietly. "Then why did you drink it even though you knew Si Aofu had drugged you?"

Si Yuan: "..."

Bo Yusen smiled and patted Si Yuan's head. "I know you can't bear to refuse Si Aofu, and you're waiting for her to regret it. We're different in that respect..."

Bo Yusen's expression changed slightly. "I want her to understand that these underhanded tactics won't work on me. From now on, neither you nor I will be able to touch me."

Si Yuan nestled her head against Bo Yusen's chest, savoring his warmth and scent. "I'm sorry..."

"Um?"

"I always thought it was your father who betrayed my aunt, and I even called him a scumbag. I never imagined that he was the one who suffered the most."

Bo Yusen pulled her closer to him. "We were powerless to change what happened back then, but I believe that they must have been happy when they died together."

That's all the living can tell themselves.

Bo Yusen took Si Yuan's hand and kissed it gently. "But I can assure you, we will be happy together for the rest of our lives and never be apart again."

Si Yuan looked intently at Bo Yusen and nodded heavily, "Okay."

Sure enough, after that, Ji Yuting never called Bo Yusen again, nor did she come to Yuanshan Dai to cause trouble for Si Yuan.

After Si Yuan recovered, she returned to the Si family home, intending to retrieve Si Aofu's belongings and the painting Xie Zhizhou had given her.

Si Yuan didn't want to see Si Qingwan, so she went to the Si family home when Si Qingwan and He Shuqing were not at home.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Si Yingying, who was rummaging through his belongings at home.

Whenever Si Yingying was short of money, she would run to the Si family.

Si Aofu is dead, and Si Yuan has been taken away by Bo Yusen.

She searched Si Yuan and Si Aofu's rooms thoroughly, but found very few expensive items.

She was cursing and swearing when she suddenly noticed something covered with a white sheet.

What is that? It's all so mysterious.

She abruptly pulled back the curtain and saw Si Aofu's face in the painting—

"ah--"

Si Yingying screamed in fright, patting her chest with lingering fear. "Damn it, even though it's dead, it's still haunting me like this, coming to scare me."

Suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up, and she dialed a number. "Brother-in-law, I did you such a big favor before, shouldn't you give me some reward?"
