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

Si Yuan's breath paused abruptly for a beat when that warmth landed.

The kiss was very light, as soft as being gently brushed by a feather.

It felt incredibly heavy, striking the deepest part of her heart.

Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, as if trying to hide—

But he gently pressed down on the back of her neck with his other hand, the force so gentle it was irresistible.

A warm sensation spread along his eyelids, carrying a faint scent of pine needles, enveloping him in his unique blend of coldness and tenderness.

Si Yuan felt as if her blood had slowed down by half a beat, then rushed to her heart in the next second.

"Knock knock knock—"

My heart was pounding like an out-of-control drumbeat, relentlessly pounding against my chest, making my eardrums vibrate.

Si Yuan could clearly feel the curve of his lips, and she wondered if it was just her imagination, but it seemed to carry a hint of careful cherishing.

Her tense body gradually softened, her fingertips unconsciously clenching his clothes, and even her breath was warmed by his heat.

"Does it still hurt?"

As her lips parted, Si Yuan felt as if his warmth still lingered on the skin at the corner of her eye.

A tingling sensation spread through her nerves to every part of her body, making her tilt her head back slightly, her nose brushing against his chin, with a hint of unconscious dependence.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Si Yuan squinted, looking like a lazy kitten bathed in sunlight, all soft and fluffy.

"What's your name, Xiang Mingche?"

Bo Yusen's voice didn't show much emotion, but Si Yuan snapped out of her daze when she heard Xiang Mingche's name.

"Um?"

"What did you call Xiang Mingche today?" Bo Yusen repeated the question with unusual patience.

Si Yuan's mind was racing.

As everyone knows, Master Bo never talks nonsense, so when he suddenly asked this question, Si Yuan felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Si Yuan didn't speak, so Bo Yusen pinched her earlobe. "Is this a difficult question to answer?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I'll call him Mingche..."

Everyone calls Xiang Mingche that, so it's not a particularly special name, is it?

"What did you call me?"

Only then did Si Yuan realize something. She smiled gently, "Don't you like me calling you Ninth Master?"

Bo Yusen glanced at Si Yuan without saying a word, his meaning quite clear.

"So... what's my name? Would you like it?"

"Mr. Bo?"

Bo Yusen frowned.

"Brother Yusen?"

Bo Yusen remained expressionless.

"dense?"

Bo Yusen: "..."

Si Yuan cupped Bo Yusen's face in her hands, smiling happily. "No one will call you Sen Sen, so this will be my special nickname. From now on, when it's just the two of us, I'll call you Sen Sen..."

"dense……"

"dense……"

Si Yuan called out repeatedly, and Bo Yusen, unable to bear it any longer, lowered his head and sealed her lips with his.

The kiss was light, with just the right amount of softness; it wasn't deep, just a gentle, tender embrace and caress.

His palm cradled the back of her neck, gently yet steadily enveloping her in his breath, allowing her to clearly feel the warmth and curve of his lips, as well as his steady and powerful heartbeat, gradually synchronizing with hers through his chest.

Si Yuan smiled slightly; her hard work over the past few days had finally paid off.

She could clearly feel that her relationship with Bo Yusen had become much closer.

Si Yuan wanted to spend more time with Bo Yusen, but she received a call from her tutor and had to go to the school first.

After Si Yuan left.

233 eagerly moved in front of its owner, (*´∀`)~♥: 【Sen Sen, what would you like to eat for dinner?】

Bo Yusen coldly glanced at the robot in front of him. "What did you call me?"

【Sen Sen, from now on...】

"If you dare yell like that again, I'll restore you to factory settings!"

233 timidly slid to the corner.

(。・́︿・̀。): [When Mingming called out to Sensen, the owner was very happy, and it wanted to make the owner happy too, so why couldn't it?]

233's round head couldn't figure it out.

Si Yingying naturally wouldn't waste all her time on Xiang Mingche.

Ever since she witnessed Bo Yusen's charm, she still couldn't give up on him, even though he was cold and ruthless towards her.

Si Yingying knew clearly that she couldn't win over Bo Yusen on her own, so she set her sights on Bo Yusen's niece, Jiang Lai.

After being slapped by Bo Yusen, Jiang Lai was afraid that he would really send her back to the Middle East, so she could only obediently go to school.

When Si Yingying approached Jiang Lai, she was sitting at her desk, idly playing on her phone.

"Jiang Lai..."

Si Yingying walked up to Jiang Lai with a smile. Whenever Jiang Lai saw Si Yingying, she couldn't help but think of Si Yuan.

Although she never saw Si Yuan again, she heard that Si Yuan was kidnapped by Li Jiale and almost killed.

Humph--

Deserve it.

Jiang Lai has never been kind to the Si family.

After giving Si Yingying a disapproving look, he continued playing his game with his head down.

Si Yingying gritted her teeth, feeling ignored.

You can ignore her now, but once she marries Master Bo, Jiang Lai will have to call her Aunt!

Si Yingying took out an exquisite box and handed it to Jiang Lai. "I saw a pair of earrings that suited you perfectly when I went shopping last time, so I bought them for you."

"roll--"

Jiang Lai showed no appreciation whatsoever.

Si Yingying didn't leave. Instead, she shamelessly opened the package and said, "Take a look. It really suits you."

Jiang Lai was completely enraged and slapped the box out of Si Yingying's hand.

The box fell to the ground with a thud, and the earrings inside also fell to the floor.

Si Yingying immediately picked up the earrings, feeling a pang of heartache; she had spent 60,000 yuan on them despite the pain.

"Are you ever going to shut up?! Can't you see I'm playing a game? Your chatter is louder than a hen's!"

Si Yingying clenched her fists, picked up the earring from the ground, and said with a wronged expression, "Last time I went to play badminton with Ninth Master, he asked me to look after you at school..."

Si Yingying sniffed. "I just didn't want to disappoint Ninth Master."

Jiang Lai finally turned her gaze from her phone to Si Yingying, narrowing her eyes slightly. "My uncle plays badminton with you?"

Si Yingying feigned surprise, "You didn't know? I thought he told you everything."

Jiang Lai looked Si Yingying up and down. With such a terrible appearance, figure, and temperament, how could her uncle possibly be interested in her?

If you really want to see something like that, it has to be someone like Si Yuan...

Pooh--

My uncle would never like the Si family!

When did you guys start playing badminton?

"On Saturday, after playing ball, we also had lunch together."

Jiang Lai knew that her uncle had indeed gone to play badminton on Saturday morning.

Could it really be with this Si Yingying?

Jiang Lai reached out her hand, and Si Yingying immediately and respectfully handed her the earrings.

Jiang Lai looked at Si Yingying's cautious demeanor and curled her lips into a mocking smile. "You treasure a few tens of thousands of yuan worth of earrings so much? It seems your Si family is really broke."

"The Si family is naturally no match for the Bo family."

"Compare? Hmph... Your Si family members aren't even worthy of kneeling on the ground and carrying the Bo family's shoes."

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Seeing Si Yingying's spineless appearance, Jiang Lai subconsciously thought of Si Yuan.

Although Si Yuan is annoying, this spineless real heiress Si Yingying is even more awful.

"Tell me, what was your real purpose in giving me these earrings?"

Jiang Lai was so direct, Si Yingying didn't intend to hide anything from her.

She looked shy. "I don't know as much about Ninth Master as you do. Christmas is coming soon, and I wanted to ask you what Ninth Master likes so I can give him a Christmas present."

Jiang Lai scoffed, "You wouldn't happen to want to be my aunt, would you?"

Caught off guard, Si Yingying wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she excitedly grabbed Jiang Lai's hand and said, "Lai Lai, if I become your aunt, I will definitely treat you well. I will buy you whatever you want."

Jiang Lai never expected that Si Yingying's ambitions were so high.

Hmph, what a toad trying to eat swan meat.

She should take a piss and look in the mirror. She's so ugly, she's not even worthy of a single hair of her uncle's.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Jiang Lai's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Fine, I'll tell you..."
