Auntie Du was tending to the garden’s flowers and plants when she spotted Young Master Bo personally driving Sixth Miss back home. Without delay, she extended a hasty invitation to him.

Bo Yi graciously accepted the invitation, taking Fang Yuan’s hand as they entered the house.

Inside, Cheng Yuqi, amidst playing the piano to uplift her parents’ spirits, received the news that Bo Yi had arrived. Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui promptly descended the stairs to greet him.

Cheng Yuqi suppressed her eagerness to see Bo Yi and retreated to her bedroom to prepare herself. She passed a message to Xiao Cui before heading downstairs.

“Yi, Yuanyuan, were you at home yesterday? 1 hope we didn’t cause you any inconvenience,” Cheng Ye smiled and inquired politely.

“No,” Bo Yi glanced at Fang Yuan tenderly. “If anything, we were the ones causing her trouble.”

Qiao Xinhui observed their interaction and couldn’t help but smile. “How is Old Sir’s health?”

Bo Yi replied respectfully, “Grandfather mentioned that Yuanyuan’s health has significantly improved.”

Cheng Ye chuckled heartily, not expecting Old Sir Bo to be so pleased with his daughter. “Haha… Yuanyuan has been busy at the company lately. We hardly get to see her as much as you do. We worry she might not eat properly or might overwork herself.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Yi promptly assured, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take excellent care of her.”

His gaze remained affectionate.

Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui exchanged glances, realizing that this young man genuinely cared for Yuanyuan.

At that moment, Cheng Yuqi descended the staircase, her appearance meticulously enhanced. She greeted them with a poised and graceful smile, exuding the warmth of a refined socialite. “Sister, Brother-in-law, I’m so glad to see you both.”

Her every step exuded an air of elegance, as though she had undergone rigorous training, and her manners were impeccable.

Observing her upbringing, Qiao Xinhui felt a deep sense of satisfaction. After all, she had invested many years in raising this child, and seeing her address him as “brother-in-law” was a clear indication of her sensibility. Qiao Xinhui had no intention of replacing Yuanyuan and marrying into the Bo family solely because she had been previously engaged to Yi.

Fang Yuan took note of the subtle makeup on Cheng Yuqi’s face and replied with a nonchalant, “Yes.”

Bo Yi’s unwavering gaze remained fixed on Fang Yuan, brimming with affection. “Shall we go out for breakfast tomorrow morning?”

Fang Yuan responded, “I’d prefer to eat at home.”

Bo Yi insisted, “I want to dine with you.”

Cheng Ye overheard their conversation and found it to be a simple solution. “I’ll have the kitchen prepare a larger breakfast tomorrow. Yi, you can join Yuanyuan for a meal before heading to work.”

Bo Yi expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Cheng Ye grinned and replied, “No need for thanks; we’re all family here. What are your breakfast preferences?”

Bo Yi, gazing at Fang Yuan, said, “I’ll eat whatever Yuanyuan chooses.”

Cheng Yuqi, who stood nearby, felt completely disregarded and experienced a mixture of embarrassment and resentment.

In the midst of this tension, Xiao Cui seized an opportunity and presented a glass of lemonade to Cheng Yuqi. “Lady Yuqi, here’s your water.”

Having previously served Bo Yi and Fang Yuan, it was only fitting that she offered Cheng Yuqi a drink now. However, she deliberately stumbled over a chair’s leg, inadvertently splashing the water she held onto Cheng Yuqi’s chest. Unfortunately, Cheng Yuqi was already dressed in a delicate silk nightgown, and the spilled water created an alluring cleavage.

“I’m so sorry, Lady Yuqi. I didn’t mean to!” Xiao Cui appeared extremely vexed as she quickly produced a tissue to assist Cheng Yuqi. In an attempt to dry her clothes, she gently patted her, but due to the pressing, the nightgown clung even tighter, accentuating her curves even more.

“It’s alright; don’t worry. 1 can handle it myself,” Cheng Yuqi displayed her understanding and composure.

To her surprise, Bo Yi’s unwavering gaze remained fixed on Fang Yuan throughout.

“Lady Yuqi, I’m entirely to blame for this. Your attire is completely soaked,” Xiao Cui intentionally emphasized the word “wet.”

However, Bo Yi’s attention didn’t waver. In that moment, he leaned closer to Fang Yuan’s ear and whispered something. Fang Yuan shot him a gloomy look, but Bo Yi’s lips curled into a teasing smile, creating an illusion of an intimate exchange between them.

“Yuqi, go change your clothes,” Qiao Xinhui softly reminded her.

Cheng Yuqi responded, “1 apologize, Sister. Brother-in-law, 1’11 head back to my room for a wardrobe change and join you later.”

Yet, no matter how well-behaved she was, Bo Yi’s gaze remained steadfastly on Fang Yuan.

Cheng Yuqi managed to maintain her composure as she made her way upstairs. She overheard Qiao Xinhui’s surprised inquiry, “Yuanyuan, did you recently purchase this bracelet? I’ve never seen you wear it before…”

Fang Yuan replied composedly, “He gave it to me.”

Those few words left Cheng Yuqi almost frozen in her tracks, as if her feet had turned to stone.

“Yi gave it to you?” Qiao Xinhui swiftly examined the bracelet more closely. “The design is truly exquisite; 1 haven’t come across it in the market.”

Fang Yuan responded, “He designed it himself..”
