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

Shen Xingzhu was pulled away by the police.

After being stunned by electricity, Li Jiale was taken away by the police.

Si Yuan leaned against Bo Yusen's chest and smelled the comforting and safe scent emanating from him.

She smiled, a slight curve to her lips.

If Li Jiale had previously only illegally imprisoned and abused her.

The moment Li Jiale brandished the knife, it escalated into kidnapping, and he was bound to face more than ten years in prison.

She was very tired, in pain, and in great discomfort.

When Bo Yusen held her, she felt warm all over, as if all the pain was nothing.

His face was tense. Si Yuan wanted to reach out and touch him, but before she could touch him, she was plunged into darkness.

in the hotel.

Xiang Mingche is desperately trying to get Si Yingying.

Si Yingying cried and begged for mercy, but Xiang Mingche didn't stop; he just vented his frustration wildly.

His phone rang, and seeing that it was his secretary calling, he immediately pressed the answer button.

"explain."

"Mr. Xiang, Miss Si has been found."

Xiang Mingche abruptly stopped what he was doing. "She..."

"She was injured and taken to the hospital."

Xiang Mingche's mind went blank for a long time.

I don't know whether to be glad that Si Yuan survived or to feel sorry that she didn't die.

The next second, he abruptly pulled out of Si Yingying's body, hurriedly put on his clothes, left the hotel, and drove to the hospital.

Si Yingying's body was empty, and her heart was empty too.

She cried for a long time, without any tenderness or pity.

Upon hearing the news about Si Yuan, he ran away.

She struggled to her feet, grabbed her phone, and thankfully—

Everything that just happened was filmed.

Humph--

No matter what, she's already Xiang Mingche's woman. Let's see how Si Yuan can compete with her now.

wrong--

What did the secretary just say?

Si Yuan was injured and taken to the hospital?

What's going on?

in the hospital.

Si Yuan slowly woke up and saw Shen Xingzhu holding her hand.

Shen Xingzhu's eyes were red, clearly she had cried a lot.

"Ah Yuan, you're finally awake."

Si Yuan smiled weakly, "Yes, Xingzhu, thank you..."

Shen Xingzhu sniffed. "I was terrified! That damned Li Jiale actually hid you in the basement of an abandoned factory..."

"You should thank President Bo instead. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found you so quickly."

Looking at Si Yuan's injuries, Shen Xingzhu gritted her teeth in anger. "Li Jiale is a complete madman. If we had been any later... I don't even want to think about the consequences."

Si Yuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Bo Yusen would find her first.

"You contacted President Bo?"

Shen Xingzhu shook her head. "No, I heard that President Bo was worried that Li Jiale would harm his niece again, so he had people keeping an eye on Li Jiale, which is why he found you so quickly."

It turned out to be the case.

The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiang Mingche, covered in sweat and pale-faced, rushed in.

"Ah Yuan—"

He ran to the bedside and hugged Si Yuan tightly.

The force was so great that it seemed as if it wanted to meld Si Yuan into its own body.

"hiss--"

Si Yuan winced in pain.

Seeing this, Shen Xingzhu slapped Xiang Mingche, "Be gentle, A Yuan is covered in injuries."

Xiang Mingche then released Si Yuan. Si Yuan was wearing a hospital gown, so her injuries were not visible, but the bruises on her wrists were very obvious.

"I'm sorry, A-Yuan..."

With red eyes, Xiang Mingche carefully raised her wrist and gently blew on it.

Then he raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect you."

Xiang Mingche's voice was hoarse and trembling uncontrollably, as if he was really afraid of losing Si Yuan.

Looking at his immediately swollen face, Si Yuan couldn't tell whether Xiang Mingche was acting or genuinely afraid of her dying.

Soon, Si Qingwan and He Shuqing also arrived.

Upon seeing Si Qingwan, Shen Xingzhu immediately retreated to a corner.

She was somewhat intimidated by Si Qingwan.

"Ah Yuan..."

Si Qingwan walked to the bedside, and Xiang Mingche made room for her.

"Mother……"

Si Qingwan grasped Si Yuan's hand and noticed the injury on her wrist; her expression turned grave and somber.

You can tell at a glance what caused this bruise.

With Xiang Mingche present, Si Qingwan said calmly, "Fortunately, President Bo arrived in time to save you. You should thank him properly this time."

Si Yuan was kidnapped by Li Jiale, and many people would definitely think that she had already been slept with by Li Jiale.

The value of a Si family woman who has been slept with by an outsider will naturally be greatly reduced.

Si Yuan and Xiang Mingche are engaged, and if the Xiang family breaks off the engagement because of this, Si Qingwan can't really say anything.

But if Bo Yusen is involved, then it's a different story.

After all, Si Yuan was rescued by Bo Yusen, and her reputation was protected by Bo Yusen, so naturally no one dared to criticize her.

Si Yuan instantly understood Si Qingwan's unspoken meaning. After glancing at Xiang Mingche, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiang Mingche never expected that the person who rescued Si Yuan was actually Bo Yusen.

When did A Yuan get involved with Bo Yusen?

He Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Si Yuan, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright..."

Si Qingwan still had to deal with the follow-up matters. "A Yuan, you should get some rest."

"A good mother..."

As she left, Si Qingwan glanced at Shen Xingzhu and said, "Ms. Shen, thank you for today."

Shen Xingzhu didn't feel flattered at all; instead, she was extremely humbled. "Hehe... Madam Si, you're too kind."

After Si Qingwan left, Xiang Mingche stayed with Si Yuan for a while.

His phone kept buzzing, and that's when he remembered Si Yingying.

He gently hugged Si Yuan, "Ah Yuan, don't worry, I will never let Li Jiale hurt you again."

As soon as Xiang Mingche left, Shen Xingzhu approached Si Yuan and said, "Ah Yuan, I have something to tell you, don't be angry."

"Um?"

"After you went missing, the police couldn't find you. I was so worried that I called Xiang Mingche."

Shen Xingzhu observed Si Yuan's expression, but to no avail; she simply couldn't figure out what Si Yuan was thinking.

"Let me tell you, after Xiang Mingche found out you were missing, he immediately sent people to look for you. He was very worried and anxious. I think he still has some feelings for you."

"A little affection?" Si Yuan smiled. "So what? It doesn't stop him from betraying me and scheming against me."

Although Si Yuan was smiling, the smile didn't reach her eyes. "The damage has already been done. I won't forget what he did to me before just because he's worried about me this time."

The most foolish people are those who forget the pain once the wound has healed.

Besides, who knew that Xiang Mingche was genuinely worried about her and was actively looking for her.

Or perhaps we should just put on an act.

Si Yuan grew up in the Si family and experienced many things, so her mind is always more profound and complex than others.

Previously, she had always believed that Xiang Mingche's love for her was pure and clean in this filthy industry.

Therefore, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the task.

Unfortunately, even that love has become tainted, so how could she possibly still fully believe that Xiang Mingche truly cares about her?
