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

Si Yuan didn't like staying in the hospital, so she was discharged the next day.

Bo Yusen saved her, and this was a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship; she couldn't let it slip by.

Before going to find Bo Yusen, Si Yuan went home first.

Si Qingwan was not home; He Shuqing was watering a pot of orchids at home.

That orchid has been there since Si Yuan can remember, and over the years, it has been personally cared for by Si Qingwan and He Shuqing.

"Ah Yuan?"

Upon seeing Si Yuan, He Shuqing put down the kettle and immediately went to greet her, "Didn't I tell you to rest properly in the hospital for a few days? Why are you out here?"

Si Yuan could sense that He Shuqing's concern for her was genuine, and smiled gently, "Aunt Shuqing, I'm alright now."

"You must have been terrified by what Li Jiale did to you, right?"

"Yeah, it was pretty scary, but he got what he deserved."

This time, even if the Li family gives their all, it will be useless.

Si Yuan is the daughter of the Si family, and the Si family will not let Li Jiale go.

Si Yuan is Xiang Mingche's fiancée, and even if it's just for appearances, the Xiang family has to show some attitude.

Moreover, this time Bo Yusen has also been implicated.

Even if it were the Heavenly King himself, let alone the Li family, he wouldn't be able to rescue Li Jiale.

"Aunt Shuqing, I have a question for you."

Although Si Yuan didn't believe Li Jiale's words, she had to admit that they still bothered her.

"Um?"

"How did Bo Qinghe, Bo Yusen's father, die?"

He Shuqing's expression changed, as if she was very reluctant to mention Bo Qinghe's name. "A Yuan, let's not bring this up again in the future."

After saying that, He Shuqing went to take care of the orchids. Si Yuan walked up to her and said, "Li Jiale said that Bo Qinghe was killed by our Si family."

"Nonsense!"

He Shuqing's chest heaved, her emotions running high.

Si Yuan had always known He Shuqing to be gentle and slow in everything she did, and this was the first time she had seen her emotions change so drastically.

She clenched her fists and took several deep breaths before she managed to restore her expression to normal.

She forced a smile and looked at Si Yuan, "Ah Yuan, remember this, Bo Qinghe's death has nothing to do with the Si family. Don't doubt anything just because others say it."

Si Yuan hadn't believed Li Jiale before, but after hearing He Shuqing's words, she naturally believed He Shuqing.

Again.

If Bo Qinghe really died at the hands of the Si family, how could the Si family get away with it all?

In the afternoon, Si Yingying returned.

Si Yingying never expected that while she was plotting how to get Xiang Mingche, Si Yuan would be kidnapped by Li Jiale.

No wonder Li Jiale is a complete waste of space.

They actually kidnapped Si Yuan, and yet she managed to return unharmed.

And then there's Bo Yusen; I never expected him to be the one who saved Si Yuan.

They're just being silly.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Even though Si Yingying wished Si Yuan were dead, she still had to pretend to be a close sister at home.

"fine."

Si Yuan looked quietly at Si Yingying. "Yingying, I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been?"

Seeing that He Shuqing's gaze was also on her, Si Yingying felt a little guilty. "I'm in class. Didn't Mom say that I'd be recognizing my ancestors on New Year's Day? I have to do my best and bring honor to the Si family."

Si Yuan saw through it but didn't say anything, saying, "Thank you for your hard work~"

He Shuqing seemed somewhat absent-minded and made an excuse to leave.

As Si Yuan was about to return to her room, Si Yingying blocked her way.

He whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Sister, I actually lied just now."

"Oh?" Si Yuan looked at her indifferently.

"Actually, I've been with Mingche these past few days." Si Yingying blushed, looking shy. "We've already...slept together."

Even though she was already awake, Si Yuan's heart still skipped a beat when she heard the news.

She clenched her fist slightly, her expression remaining calm. "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Si Yingying was about to say something triumphantly, but then she thought of something and stopped herself from saying it. "Whether you believe it or not is your business. Mingche loves me. He will break off your engagement with you and marry me sooner or later."

After saying that, Si Yingying hummed a song and went back to her room in a great mood.

Si Yuan's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Si Yingying is all looks and no brains. If she hadn't actually had a relationship with Xiang Mingche, she wouldn't have dared to show off in front of her.

It seems that Xiang Mingche can't wait any longer.

After all, without the [Wildfire] project, he would definitely be eager to marry the Si family's true daughter.

Thinking back to yesterday at the hospital, how he held her, trembling, crying, and even slapped himself hard...

Si Yuan found it laughable.

Almost...

I almost got tricked by him again.

Bo Yusen saved Si Yuan, and Si Qingwan wanted to host a banquet for Bo Yusen in the name of the Si family, but Bo Yusen refused.

Si Qingwan was unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip by.

She asked Si Yingying to represent the Si family and Si Yuan to represent herself to thank Bo Yusen.

Si Yingying verbally agreed, but as soon as she left home, she went to meet Xiang Mingche in secret, leaving Si Yuan to go and thank Bo Yusen herself.

Si Yuan naturally couldn't get what she wanted.

Having learned that Bo Yusen was at the shooting range today, Si Yuan dressed up specially and happily went to the shooting range with a thank-you gift.

This shooting range was invested and opened by Jiang Zhe.

Whenever they go to play, the area is usually cleared out so as not to be disturbed.

"Bang bang bang—"

Bo Yusen fired three shots in quick succession without any expression, and each shot hit the target's heart.

He stood ramrod straight, dressed in a black, form-fitting shooting suit. The clean lines of his shoulders accentuated his muscular physique, and his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses were sharp as an eagle's.

Jiang Zhe glanced at Bo Yusen on his left, then at Yu Muchen on his right.

Finally, looking at himself, he felt speechless and deeply hurt.

"Damn, the exact same clothes, how come you two look so handsome and sexy in them, but I just can't pull it off?"

Yu Muchen fiddled with the gun in his hand, "Next time your coach calls you and you slack off, you'll find the answer yourself."

Bo Yusen was self-disciplined from a young age, while Yu Muchen developed a great physique due to his upbringing and frequent fighting.

Jiang Zhe is lazy, dislikes exercise, and still wants a good figure—dream on!

"Bang bang bang—"

Bo Yusen continued firing his gun. When he held the gun in his left hand, the veins on his thumb bulged slightly, and the way he adjusted his goggles with his right hand had a mechanical sexiness to it.

Sweat trickled down his jawline and into the collar of his shooting uniform, as abstinence and hormones clashed violently amidst the smell of gunpowder.

Jiang Zhe grew increasingly jealous. He kicked Yu Muchen, "Hey, what's wrong with this guy today? He came here and started venting without saying a word."

Yu Muchen shrugged and shook his head.

The next second, the two saw Bo Yusen's gun suddenly move away from the target and point at a beautiful figure.

Upon seeing that it was Si Yuan, Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow. "The show is about to begin."
