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

Si Yuan has never felt her heart beat so fast or so heavily in her entire life.

She knew perfectly well that letting Bo Yusen go now was the best option.

but--

But what is it?

She couldn't explain it herself.

The hand gripping his clothes tightened more and more.

"That's right, I deliberately let Li Jiale arrest me..."

Si Yuan knew that if she didn't confess now, she would really have no chance.

"With the Li family backing him up, Li Jiale will never turn from a beast into a good person because of that little lesson."

"He won't let me go, and I don't want to live in constant fear every day. The thought that he might hurt me again at any time is like a knife hanging over my head, making me break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night."

Si Yuan's eyes were genuinely red, and the tip of her nose was also flushed with a physiological pink. The first tear was an uncontrollable sourness that slid down her cheek and into the corner of her mouth, leaving a salty and astringent taste.

"You might think I'm too cruel, but I won't be at ease until Li Jiale completely disappears from my world."

Si Yuan has always disagreed with one viewpoint.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a wound for a wound, a beating for a beating—

Is it really fair?

Do not--

That's not fair at all.

Because from the very beginning, you never intended to hurt the other person.

Only when the other person suffers a thousand times more pain than they have caused you is it fair.

If she could, she hoped that in Bo Yusen's eyes, she would be a beautiful, gentle, obedient, and sensible little woman.

Instead of a scheming, lying, and wicked woman.

Unfortunately, Bo Yusen was too clever; those methods and tricks she thought were very clever—

They are no match for him at all.

As she cried, her voice softened, carrying a deliberately amplified sense of grievance, "I'm so scared..."

Seeing Si Yuan's tears streaming down her face and her eyes red, Bo Yusen's Adam's apple bobbed, and a hint of reluctance finally flashed in his eyes.

"You actually know fear?"

"How come I don't know fear..."

Si Yuan was very good at reading people's expressions. She noticed that Bo Yusen's attitude had softened a bit, so she gently took his hand.

"I'm afraid I'll never see you and 233 again. 233 will always remember me, but you..."

Si Yuan nestled her head against Bo Yusen's chest, looking aggrieved. "He'll definitely forget about me as soon as he turns around."

Bo Yusen frowned and tried to push Si Yuan away, but Si Yuan hugged him tightly. "Don't push me away, I really, really miss you."

Ignoring Si Yuan's grievances and pleas for reconciliation, Bo Yusen grabbed her hand, instantly exposing the bruises on her wrist to both of them.

"You should really be grateful you're alive. Otherwise, by the time the police arrived, even if you were still alive, you'd probably be a cripple."

Si Yuan never believed in fate. The reason she was able to wait for rescue was because she kept delaying, not because she was lucky.

"It's you..."

Eyes stained with tears appear even darker and brighter.

"You saved me. The moment I saw you, I knew no one would ever hurt me again."

Si Yuan's voice was soft and gentle, with a lingering nasal tone, "I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

Seeing that Bo Yusen didn't move, she leaned forward and carefully rubbed her fingertips against the back of his hand. "Don't frown, okay? Seeing you so unhappy makes me feel so, so, so, so uncomfortable."

"From now on, I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."

Bo Yusen took a deep breath, turned his face away to avoid her wet gaze, and said, "Don't do it again."

"it is good."

Si Yuan answered very quickly.

Then, she leaned her head against Bo Yusen's chest and said, "I feel dizzy."

"Stop playing the victim."

Although Bo Yusen's tone was harsh, his hand involuntarily supported Si Yuan.

"It wasn't sold, I'm really dizzy..."

Si Yuan wasn't lying; she would feel dizzy whenever she cried too much.

Bo Yusen led the person to the sofa and had someone bring a cup of hot water.

Si Yuan grabbed his arm. "I'm hungry. I want to eat glutinous rice balls with black sesame filling."

Bo Yusen: "..."

The shooting range is more than 40 kilometers from the city center, and there are no places to buy glutinous rice balls nearby.

Bo Yusen had a meal prepared in advance.

When Jiang Zhe and Yu Muchen went to find Bo Yusen after their break, Bo Yusen was having dinner with Si Yuan.

One person was eating with great relish, while the other watched with a cold expression.

The two looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

"Young Master Jiang... President Yu..."

Si Yuan put down her chopsticks, stood up gracefully, and greeted the two of them.

When outsiders are present, she maintains the etiquette and demeanor expected of a member of the company.

"Hey... why didn't you call me for dinner? I'm starving..."

Jiang Zhe looked at the light dishes on the table and knew without a doubt that they were what Si Yuan liked.

Because Bo Yusen loves spicy food.

"This order isn't enough! Waiter, please add a few more dishes..."

Jiang Zhe waved his hand and ordered a table full of dishes.

"Ms. Si, it's my first time dining at the same table with you. I'm so honored. Please eat more and don't be shy."

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang..."

After Si Yuan took her seat, she didn't touch her chopsticks much.

Jiang Zhe's gossipy heart burned brightly, and he gave Yu Muchen a meaningful look, prompting him to ask Bo Yusen.

Yu Muchen pretended not to see and continued eating with his head covered.

Jiang Zhe was speechless and decided to speak up himself.

But the next second—

Bo Yusen suddenly stood up. "Take your time eating."

Jiang Zhe: "Hey, let's go then."

"Something's up."

After saying that, Bo Yusen left without looking back.

Seeing this, Si Yuan nodded slightly to Jiang Zhe and Yu Muchen, "Then I'll take my leave."

Jiang Zhe was completely flustered. "Wait, I don't think I said anything, so why did they leave?"

Yu Muchen said something truly shocking: "Who would like the presence of a third wheel?"

"What? Who...who are you calling a third wheel?"

Jiang Zhe pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me...me?"

Yu Muchen: "Perhaps, maybe, probably I am too."

Jiang Zhe: "...Wait, what's going on between them? Could Yu Sen really be so confused as to have fallen for Si Yuan?"

Yu Muchen passed by like a typhoon, having filled his stomach.

Do you think Yusen is easy to coax?

"Easy to coax? He was never easy to coax when he was a child, and he's only gotten worse since he came back from abroad."

Jiang Zhe kept complaining, "A while ago, I saw him cherishing a cheap lighter so much, so I snatched it and used it for a bit, and then he ignored me for two months."

Yu Muchen wiped his mouth and stood up. "But Si Yuan only took half an hour to coax him. What does that mean?"

Jiang Zhe was taken aback. "What does that mean?"

Yu Muchen: "After you finish eating all this food, you'll understand."

Yu Muchen is gone. Although he has taken over the Yu family now, there are still many people making trouble.

He needs to give them a warning, lest some people take advantage of his kindness.

Jiang Zhe: "...Is there anything magical about it?"

Jiang Zhe was so full after finishing all the dishes on the table that he almost threw up.

I still don't understand what it means.
