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

In the bar.

Si Yingying kept pouring herself a mouthful of wine.

On Christmas Day, the bar was bustling with activity, but she was all alone, feeling utterly desolate.

Early in the morning, Si Yingying brought gifts to Huanyu Group, only to be turned away at the door.

I went to Yuanshandai, and got soaked by that broken robot again.

She wanted to get together with some friends, but they somehow heard about her sending pickled vegetables and steamed buns to Bo Yusen.

They openly and subtly mocked and ridiculed her.

I'm so angry, I'm incredibly frustrated.

The phone rang, and Si Yingying saw that it was Si Qingwan calling. She was annoyed and didn't want to answer, but she had no choice.

Given that Si Qingwan is a very perceptive person, they were afraid that she would hear the noisy background and know that she was nagging endlessly after leaving the bar, and might even punish her.

Si Yingying stumbled to her feet and walked out of the back door, which was closest to her.

"Mother……"

"Yingying, where are you?"

"I'm playing with my friends right now."

"Be careful, come home early tonight, I need to talk to you about something."

"knew……"

Si Yingying felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but Si Qingwan hadn't hung up yet, so she couldn't hang up first.

This is also a stinking rule of the Si family.

When she inherits the Si family in the future, she will definitely correct all these bad habits.

After Si Qingwan finally hung up the phone, Si Yingying was about to return to the bar when several drunk thugs suddenly blocked her way.

"Oh, little beauty, all alone..."

Si Yingying saw that those people were all ugly, and they all looked like they had come with ill intentions.

Alarm bells rang in my mind.

"What do you want?"

She took a step back and bumped into a man, who then hugged her and grabbed her breast.

"Oh, a young lady throwing herself into my arms."

Si Yingying turned around and saw the man with a fat head and big ears, and a face full of acne scars. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited.

"Let me go—"

She struggled desperately, unaware that the more she struggled, the more excited the man became.

The man moved closer to Si Yingying, took a deep breath, and said, "What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"Does it smell good? Brother Dao, let me smell it too..."

Several people approached Si Yingying, whose face changed drastically. She reached out to hit them, saying, "You damned ugly freaks, stay away from me!"

"Brother Dao! She actually called us ugly monsters!"

Brother Dao sneered, grabbed Si Yingying's hair, and blew smoke into her face.

Si Yingying's scalp ached, and her nose and throat were also uncomfortable.

"You don't actually think that just because we call you beautiful, you're beautiful, do you? Without makeup, your face is probably uglier than ours."

"But your figure is so curvy and delicious. Tonight, let's use your body to celebrate Christmas with us brothers."

Si Yingying's expression changed drastically, "No—uh—"

Before she could even cry for help, her mouth was covered by a smelly hand.

Several men dragged her to a corner.

"Sizzle—"

The sound of clothes being torn apart by several hands sent chills down Si Yingying's spine.

Si Yingying finally realized she was afraid.

There are plenty of hooligans like this in small county towns, but I never expected that there would be such scoundrels in a metropolis like Beijing.

Her mouth was covered, her hands were held down tightly, many hands were groping her body, and someone was taking off her skirt.

"Brother Dao, hurry up, the rest of us are waiting—"

The raucous and lewd laughter reached my ears, like the ravings of demons.

Si Yingying struggled and cried, utterly desperate.

Help!

Someone please save her—

She is the daughter of the Si family, and she absolutely cannot be defiled by these disgusting beasts in a filthy corner.

If others find out about this, or if her mother discovers it, she won't be able to keep Xiang Mingche, let alone marry Bo Yusen.

My life is over.

Her clothes were completely removed, and Si Yingying felt the biting cold wind blowing into her body. She gritted her teeth, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free.

It looks just like a fish being pressed down on a cutting board.

The DJ in the bar was singing Christmas songs, the sound filled the air, and the people inside were having a lively and joyful time, while she was being humiliated.

Brother Mingche—

Si Yingying cried out in her heart in despair. She regretted not replying when Xiang Mingche sent her a message that afternoon.

If she had gone on a date with Xiang Mingche today, would she have avoided all of this?

So desperate—

So frustrating—

What should I do?

"Yingying—"

A hoarse, desperate voice suddenly reached my ears.

Si Yingying's body stiffened, thinking that she was hallucinating because she missed Xiang Mingche so much.

However, the next second, a familiar figure suddenly rushed over.

"You beasts, how dare you touch her—"

Xiang Mingche grabbed the thugs by the collar and slammed his fists into their faces.

"Damn it—who's the fool who dares to ruin our plans!"

At Dao Ge's command, several people surrounded Ming Che.

Si Yingying wrapped herself tightly in fear, her vision blurry. She wiped away her tears and looked at Xiang Mingche, who was being beaten by several people.

Seeing someone trying to ambush her, Si Yingying shouted, "Watch out—"

Xiang Mingche kicked the attacker away.

Si Yingying knew that Xiang Mingche had studied Taekwondo before, but this was the first time she had seen him fight.

Like a hero, he beat those who bullied her until they fell to the ground, howling in pain.

"Yingying..."

Xiang Mingche rushed over and wrapped Si Yingying in his own clothes.

"Brother Mingche..."

Si Yingying hugged him back, sobbing uncontrollably, "You...you've finally come...I almost thought I'd never...never see you again..."

"Alright, alright, I'm here, it's all over now."

Xiang Mingche took Si Yingying to the hotel, and while Si Yingying was taking a shower, he prepared new clothes for her.

The phone rang, and Xiang Mingche answered it.

"Boss, didn't we do a pretty good job?"

"Fine, the final payment will be transferred to your account. From now on, don't let me see you again."

"Sure, sure..."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Mingche looked at the bathroom, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Brother Mingche..."

Upon hearing Si Yingying's voice, Xiang Mingche composed himself and went inside. "Yingying..."

Si Yingying was terrified, her face turned pale, and she leaned against Xiang Mingche, trembling uncontrollably.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness you came, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to me..."

Xiang Mingche gently patted her back to comfort her.

After a while, Si Yingying's emotions gradually calmed down. With red eyes, she looked at Xiang Mingche and asked, "Brother Mingche, what were you doing there?"

Xiang Mingche's eyes flickered slightly. "Do you believe in telepathy?"

"Um?"

"I sent you a WeChat message, but you didn't reply. Qiao Yi and the others happened to be hanging out nearby, so they asked me to come over."

"When I passed by here, my heart suddenly started racing. Qiao Yi urged me to hurry up. I was about to leave, but I couldn't help but come in to check on things."

Xiang Mingche looked terrified and hugged Si Yingying even tighter. "Luckily I came in, luckily you're alright, otherwise... I would never forgive myself."

Si Yingying looked at Xiang Mingche.

Xiang Mingche is very handsome. A man with his charm, background, and money must have no shortage of women.

"Brother Mingche, do you really like me?"

Xiang Mingche frowned. "If I don't like you, why would I touch you?"

"Then why do you like me? Si Yuan is clearly prettier than me, has more poise, and is smarter than me..."

Xiang Mingche covered Si Yingying's mouth with his finger, "Yingying, I won't allow you to be so self-deprecating. Yes... you are not as good as A Yuan in many ways, but you also have your own strengths."

What are my strengths?

"You are innocent, kind, and pure. In our circle, we've seen all sorts of people, and someone like you is the most precious."

With just a few words from Xiang Mingche, Si Yingying was completely smitten.

"real?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? If you weren't good enough, why would I want you instead of A-Yuan?"

Si Yingying was happy and proud.

Upon closer reflection, Bo Yusen was cold and ruthless; no matter how hard she tried to pursue him, it seemed she could never even get close.

Jiang Lai said he already has a girlfriend.

Even if Bo Yusen didn't have a girlfriend, she wouldn't be easy to pursue.

Then I remembered those thugs saying she was ugly...

Since we can't reach Bo Yusen, we might as well focus on winning over Xiang Mingche.

Otherwise, if Xiang Mingche marries Si Yuan and she still can't get Bo Yusen, wouldn't it be all for nothing?

Moreover...

If it weren't for Xiang Mingche tonight, her life would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Si Yingying had already made up her mind. She hugged Xiang Mingche tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Mingche... I went to pursue Master Bo because of my mother's arrangement, which broke your heart. Don't worry, from now on I will love only you wholeheartedly."

Xiang Mingche stroked Si Yingying's head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

For a woman like Si Yingying, a trope like a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is enough to make her fall head over heels for him.

"Yingying, if we want to be together, first, I need to break off my engagement with Ayuan, and second, I need to get Si Qingwan to agree to marry you to me—"

"Are you really ready to face everything with me?"

Si Yingying looked at Xiang Mingche and intertwined her fingers with his. "Brother Mingche, I won't leave you alone anymore. I want to stand with you through thick and thin."

"good……"

Xiang Mingche smiled and kissed Si Yingying's lips.

The two kissed passionately for a while, when Si Yingying suddenly remembered something and pushed Xiang Mingche away.

"But...Si Yuan is a person without weaknesses. What can we do to get you to cancel the engagement quickly?"

Xiang Mingche stared blankly out the window, his expression unreadable. "No, she has..."
