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

Si Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Without thinking twice, she immediately pulled Bo Yusen behind a big tree.

Meeting Bo Yusen's displeased and gloomy handsome face, she flattered him by placing her face in his palm and obediently rubbing against it.

She looked exactly like the emojis she often posted, so Bo Yusen pinched her soft cheek hard as a form of punishment.

"Ninth Master... I'm here, where are you?"

Si Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Si Yingying's words.

Fortunately, Si Yingying didn't see her with Bo Yusen.

But Si Yingying wouldn't give up until she saw Bo Yusen.

As she heard the sound of her footsteps crunching on fallen leaves getting closer, Si Yuan nervously grabbed Bo Yusen's sleeve.

Bo Yusen looked down at Si Yuan, realizing that she could also feel nervous and flustered.

Si Yuan's mind raced. She took out her phone, intending to send a WeChat message to Si Yingying to lure her away—

Before the message could be sent, her chin was gently lifted by a long, beautiful hand.

Before she could react, warm lips pressed down on hers.

Si Yuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What time was it? Ninth Master still had the mood for kissing.

Si Yuan tried to push Bo Yusen away, but before she could move her hand, he grabbed her wrist first.

The force wasn't strong, but it carried an unwavering determination that left no room for escape as he pressed her trembling hand against his chest.

There, the heartbeat was steady yet burning hot, seeping through the thin shirt into Si Yuan's palm.

He pinned him to the tree, his lips and tongue were taken over, and his breath was stolen.

Si Yingying walked out of the temple but didn't see Bo Yusen. Was he playing hide-and-seek with her?

Hearing a faint noise not far away, she was delighted and was about to go over—

"Miss Yingying..."

A cheerful voice called out to Si Yingying.

Si Yingying turned around and saw Jiang Zhe.

Previously, because of the racecourse incident, Si Yingying didn't have a good impression of Jiang Zhe and even disliked him.

Now that they know he is the only son of the Jiang family and will be the heir to the Jiang family in the future, they have to look at him in a different light.

"Young Master Jiang...did Ninth Master send you to pick me up?"

Jiang Zhe had no idea where Si Yingying got this idea from.

"Why did Yusen ask me to pick you up?"

"oops……"

Si Yingying covered her cheeks, looking like a shy young girl in love.

Jiang Zhe was completely puzzled. "Miss Yingying, are you squirming around because you're itchy? Haven't you showered in days?"

Si Yingying was speechless. Aren't all the young masters raised by wealthy families supposed to be smart?

What's going on with Jiang Zhe?

They have absolutely no sense of propriety.

Is there something wrong with his/her brain?

Si Yingying gave a fake smile. "I'm here to see Ninth Master. Have you seen where he went?"

Jiang Zhe: "Didn't Yu Sen go to the front yard?"

"What?"

Si Yingying's expression changed slightly. Didn't Si Aofu say that Bo Yusen came to the backyard? Why did he go to the frontyard again?

It's obvious that one of these two is lying.

Compared to Si Yingying, Si Yingying naturally trusted Si Aofu more. "Young Master Jiang and Ninth Master are inseparable. Ninth Master went to the front yard, so why is Young Master Jiang here?"

"Me? The abbot said the scenery at the back gate is nice, so I came to take a couple of photos to post on WeChat Moments."

Jiang Zhe tilted his head to look at Si Yingying, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Si Yingying: "..."

Young masters from the five great families, who have seen all kinds of beautiful scenery, actually came to film the back gate of a temple.

You're insane!

Si Yuan was being kissed by Bo Yusen, but her attention was entirely on Si Yingying and Jiang Zhe.

I almost burst out laughing when I heard their conversation.

Bo Yusen blamed her for being distracted and punished her by pinching her waist.

Si Yuan's lower back was a sensitive spot, and her legs immediately went weak...

He lost his footing and stumbled backward, stepping on a dry leaf on the ground with a crisp sound.

Si Yuan: "!!!"

Anyone who isn't deaf can hear this sound.

Upon hearing the noise, Si Yingying walked towards the source of the sound.

"Ugh... that's dangerous over there, you never know what you might step on..."

Jiang Zhe tried to stop Si Yingying, but she wouldn't listen to him at all. "I'll go take a look over there..."

Si Yuan's heart was in her throat.

Compared to Si Yuan's anxiety, Bo Yusen remained calm and continued kissing her, as if he wanted Si Yingying to see it.

The footsteps grew closer and closer—

Si Yuan forced herself to calm down, frantically thinking about the consequences of being seen by Si Yingying, and what to do about it.

Si Yingying was only one step away from the tree, at the critical moment—

"Meow—"

A black cat suddenly darted out.

"ah--"

Si Yingying was startled and sat down on the ground with a thud.

He instinctively grabbed the ground for support, and his hand got covered in something black.

Si Yingying was about to go crazy.

Jiang Zhe crossed his arms, making no attempt to help Si Yingying up, and even took out his phone to take a picture of Si Yingying's embarrassing moment.

"Miss Yingying, your posture is excellent..."

Si Yingying gritted her teeth in anger, "Young Master Jiang, I've fallen down, couldn't you have come over and helped me up?"

Jiang Zhe looked puzzled. "Didn't I warn you not to go over there? You wouldn't listen, so if you fall, you have to get up on your own."

"Don't you...don't you have any gentlemanly manners at all?"

Jiang Zhe chuckled, "Sorry, my gentlemanly manners are reserved for true ladies. Besides, you have some kind of strange substance on your hands, and I've always been terrified of dirt..."

Jiang Zhe gave Si Yingying a helpless look.

Si Yingying could only get up by herself. Looking at the thing in her palm, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.

That damn cat—

She cursed the cat as she ran to wash her hands.

Only after she left did Bo Yusen release Si Yuan, who was panting heavily and still shaken.

But the crisis has finally passed.

Jiang frowned, glanced at the big tree, and left with mixed feelings.

"Have you figured it out yet?"

Bo Yusen's voice suddenly rang out, and Si Yuan looked at him in confusion.

"What?"

"If Si Yingying really sees us together, what are you going to do?"

Si Yuan looked at Bo Yusen and knew he was doing it on purpose.

She knew perfectly well that if her affair with Bo Yusen were discovered, Bo Yusen would be unaffected, but she would be doomed.

After all, she is still Xiang Mingche's fiancée.

Others don't know what Xiang Mingche did, and even if they did, they would definitely put all the blame on her.

She will not only lose her reputation, but she will also definitely be expelled from the Si family.

She became a vixen whom everyone could trample on, mock, and insult at will.

"Ninth Master..."

Si Yuan looked at Bo Yusen quietly, her expression unusually serious and earnest in front of him.

"It's true that I provoked you first, but if that day ever comes, I will definitely say without hesitation that you were lusting after my beauty and forced yourself on me."

Si Yuan took a deep breath. "You know, I'm best at pretending to be innocent and pitiful."
