“Okay,” Fang Yuan nodded obediently. Her eyes returned to the butterfly on her wrist, and the diamond sparkled in the light, reminiscent of the clear and affectionate eyes of Bo Yi. It occurred to her that she should get something for Bo Yi in return, although she wasn’t quite sure what a man like him would appreciate.
The following morning, before sunrise, Cheng Yuqi woke up and decided to dress up. She deliberately chose a black strapless dress and fashioned her hair into an elegant bun, exposing her fair forehead.
“Lady Yuqi, you look absolutely stunning!” Auntie Wang personally fastened the diamond necklace around her neck. “Your outfit is far more elegant than that of the Sixth Miss.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqi felt a bit dejected. “Auntie Wang, you don’t have to console me. 1 know I’m not as beautiful as my sister.”
No matter how plain Fang Yuan’s attire, her inner radiance and exquisite features were enough to captivate anyone.
Auntie Wang was taken aback and then smiled, “Lady Yuqi, your facial features exude grace and elegance. Just a glance tells you that you come from a prestigious family. Look at Madam’s features—they exude grace and elegance. Only someone with such features can be truly presentable.”
“Do you think Yi will like my outfit?” Cheng Yuqi glanced at her reflection in the mirror, her skin fair and her features delicate.
Auntie Wang genuinely admired her appearance. “In any case, if I were Young Master Bo, I would be enchanted the moment I saw you! Lady Yuqi, be confident. You’ll undoubtedly be the center of attention during breakfast!”
At that moment, Xiao Cui knocked on the door. “Lady Yuqi, Young Master Bo is here. Miss Fang Yuan is still asleep, and Master and Madam are resting. Would you like to go downstairs and keep Young Master Bo company?”
He was eager to see the girl he loved, so he arrived 40 minutes early. He instructed Auntie Du not to wake anyone and to let them rest peacefully.
When Cheng Yuqi descended the stairs, she saw Bo Yi sitting on the sofa. His cold and aristocratic appearance, along with his slender figure, made him incredibly handsome.
“Yi, why have you come so early? I’m not one to rise with the sun…” Cheng Yuqi greeted him with a smile. “How about 1 pour you a glass of milk first?”
Bo Yi didn’t even glance in her direction. “No need.”
“You’re here early. You must be hungry. Why don’t you have some milk to tide you over…”
Cheng Yuqi was about to head to the kitchen when he coldly interjected, “No need. I’ll wait for Yuanyuan.”
Cheng Yuqi’s smile froze on her face. She suggested, “Since you want to wait for her, how about taking a stroll in the garden? It’s been a while since you’ve been here, and there are many new varieties of flowers and plants. See if there’s anything Grandpa Bo might like and bring some back.”
Bo Yi replied bluntly, “No need.”
“The garden has lovely fresh air, and a leisurely walk could uplift your spirits for the day. It’s still early. Shall I accompany you?”
“I’d prefer some alone time.” Bo Yi’s rejection was clear, but Cheng Yuqi persisted. She knelt down, placing her hand on his knee and said with a touch of sorrow, “Yi, ever since my sister returned, you’ve been getting colder toward me.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Bo Yi’s irritation showed, and he moved away, saying, “Please respect yourself!”
Cheng Yuqi, feeling even more dejected, attempted to bridge the gap by touching his knee. “I understand that you have affection for me, but it wouldn’t hurt to exchange a few words with me. I’m an understanding person, and I won’t mind. Besides, we were merely conversing!”
In other words, she implied that it would be impolite for Fang Yuan to object to their conversation.
Seeing her drawing closer, Bo Yi’s gaze turned icy. “But I do mind. Please respect yourself, Seventh Miss Cheng!”
Noticing that he was unappreciative, Cheng Yuqi sought a cue from Auntie Wang through her eyes. She boldly reached out to touch Bo Yi’s knee again.
This time, Bo Yi promptly stood up and looked down at her. “That’s enough!”
“Yi…” As she saw him about to depart, Cheng Yuqi swiftly rushed over and grabbed the hem of his shirt. “I really, really like you… Can you just look back at me?”
“Ahem…” At that very moment, Auntie Wang coughed from a distance, as if giving a subtle signal.
Cheng Yuqi locked eyes with Auntie Wang and was alarmed, quickly letting go of Bo Yi’s shirt. She stammered, “Sister, it’s not… I mean, don’t get the wrong idea.”
Oh no, would this reckless girl tattle to her parents? Would her parents perceive her intentions as malicious and evict her from the house? If that were to happen, she’d be in big trouble!
“You two continue,” Fang Yuan nonchalantly remarked as she strolled toward the kitchen. She had been observing the scene from upstairs for quite some time, and now she felt hungry and disinterested in the spectacle.
Bo Yi shot Cheng Yuqi an irritated glance and promptly followed Fang Yuan..
He awkwardly explained, “Yuanyuan, it’s not what you’re thinking…”
