Forced marriage by a substitute bride? The spoiled son of a prominent Beijing socialite! His whole f

He Yan felt instantly at ease when she smelled the unique scent emanating from Bo Siheng.

"Don't make a sound, it's me."

Bo Siheng embraced He Yan in his arms.

He Yan didn't speak, but her relaxed state of mind already showed her attitude.

The space behind the door was very cramped, forcing the two of them to stand very close together.

The bodyguards who were chasing them didn't notice and ran past them to other places.

He Yan sighed softly.

Thinking about what I just saw, I feel terrible.

"How did you get into danger?"

Bo Siheng did not let go, but maintained the intimate embrace.

I don't know if he doesn't remember or if he doesn't want to let go.

"It's just... I want to prove my abilities. I want to have a good future in the He family. How can I do that without some value? Just like my marriage to you, it's because we both have needs."

He Yan didn't want to talk about it, so she deliberately misinterpreted his question.

Bo Siheng was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood what she meant.

"Are you trying to compete with He Yiyi?"

He compared He Yan's various behaviors with what she said tonight and assumed that she wanted to show off in front of the He family.

Because of the twenty years of her life being out of sync, she and the He family are like strangers.

It also caused her to lose everything she should have enjoyed to someone else.

"It's normal that you don't like her, after all, she's been in the He family for twenty years and has taken your place in life."

Bo Siheng misunderstood that He Yiyi was the one who saved his life that night.

Although he didn't like the way He Yiyi looked at him, he wore his thoughts on his face.

However, he couldn't help but develop a positive impression of He Yiyi in his heart.

"Aside from being arrogant and pretentious... she's actually not that bad."

"I don't need to compete with her for anything, because those things were originally mine."

He Yan was furious when she thought about how she had been tricked that night.

She could tell that Bo Siheng seemed to be speaking up for He Yiyi, so she deliberately argued back.

"And that includes you too."

He Yan's dislike for He Yiyi was never something she needed to hide.

“Mr. Bo, I don’t care about your past with her, but now that we’re married, you have an obligation to keep your distance from her. This is the respect you should show me.”

"I haven't done it, and I won't."

Bo Siheng felt a little guilty thinking about what happened that night.

He dared not reveal to He Yan the secret that He Yiyi had saved him.

However, he also found that he had strange feelings for He Yan.

Unpredictable and elusive.

Yet, it subtly affected his emotions.

"You don't regret marrying me, do you? Or do you prefer He Yiyi?"

The complex look in Bo Siheng's eyes led He Yan to misunderstand.

After all, the Bo family had specifically requested to marry He Yiyi.

Thinking about all this, He Yan felt inexplicably depressed.

She looked at Bo Siheng and deliberately teased, "I'm no worse than He Yiyi, am I?"

A look of surprise flashed across Bo Siheng's eyes.

He wanted to explain, but didn't know how to begin.

"...You're doing well."

It's very good.

Just then, Bai Wuye's bodyguards returned and chased after them again.

He Yan heard the commotion and knew that the other side had called for reinforcements.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about it so much. I was just joking with you."

Before the bodyguards arrived, she immediately grabbed Bo Siheng's hand, and the two walked into the central trading hall.

"They're here, don't let them escape!"

The bodyguards saw the two appear and immediately gave chase.

Bo Siheng was completely passive, his hand being held by He Yan.

He frowned, still somewhat bewildered.

"To divert their attention, we need to find a scapegoat."

Despite the danger, He Yan remained calm and led Bo Siheng into a semi-open booth.

She looked around and then asked him, "Are there any of your enemies here?"

Bo Siheng finally realized what was happening.

He took her words to heart, but she forgot them in the blink of an eye.

This made him a little depressed, as he felt he wasn't as open-minded as He Yan.

"Yes, the person sitting in the southeast corner is a competitor of the Bo family. They have used underhanded tactics in the business world and have competed with me for the same territory."

"That makes things easier. I'll get revenge for you."

He Yan looked in the direction of Bo Siheng's gaze and noticed that he was also wearing a mask.

He also had a female companion with him.

Qi Lihai, who was being targeted by the two men, was completely unaware of the danger that lay ahead.

He was still joking and laughing with the woman next to him.

At this moment, the venue's bodyguards also caught up with them and arrived at the trading hall.

Knowing the seating arrangement, they precisely targeted Bo Siheng and He Yan.

"Where is the thief!"

He Yan clicked her tongue inwardly.

It seems the other party is very familiar with the layout of this place.

Bo Siheng was on high alert and had already adopted a defensive posture, not wanting He Yan to get hurt.

"You find a chance to leave first..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Yan rushed out from beside him.

He Yan never liked to wait; she preferred to take the initiative.

The trading hall was dimly lit for the sake of confidentiality, which made things easier for her.

She immediately sprinkled some powder to confuse the eyes, then swept her leg, knocking several bodyguards at the front to the ground. The commotion startled the other guests.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The bodyguards became hesitant and timid because they had to be mindful of the guests.

This is the time!

He Yan grabbed Bo Siheng's hand and looked at him with an arrogant smile in his eyes.

"let's go!"

However, the next moment, she was hit hard by someone running from behind.

He Yan didn't notice that she twisted her ankle, and a sharp pain shot through her.

"hiss!"

"careful!"

Bo Siheng immediately reached out and pulled He Yan back into his arms, while bracing himself against the wall with one hand to prevent the two of them from falling.

The sounds of tables and chairs clattering could be heard continuously, and others were also running outside.

He Yan, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Qi Lihai had also run over with his female companion.

Taking advantage of the way Bo Siheng was holding her, she placed her uninjured leg on a chair and immediately slid over his shoulder.

Then, while Qi Lihai was still in a daze, they simply grabbed him and pushed him towards the bodyguards.

"Damn it...who the hell ambushed me?!"

His words immediately drew the bodyguards' attention.

His female companion also became a target of the bodyguards.

The whole process was quick and efficient. Bo Siheng's expression showed shock, yet he also felt it made sense.

All he needed to do was ensure that he cooperated well with He Yan and protected her.

"You can go now."

He Yan's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out in the darkness.

The two quickly slipped away from the side.

Qi Lihai and his female companion had just run to the door when they were caught up by the bodyguards who had been chasing them.

The two were instantly pinned down, and their masks fell off.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

His female companion screamed in fright, and the medicine he bought in the trading hall fell out.

Upon seeing the words "kidney tonic and aphrodisiac," those around immediately burst into laughter.

The bodyguards also realized they had arrested the wrong person.

Meanwhile, He Yan and Bo Siheng had already left through the back door.

"I just contacted the driver and bodyguard, so I'll have to wait a bit."

He noticed that He Yan looked unwell and was worried about her feet.

"I'm fine. Let's stay away. They'll find this place soon. It's not safe."

He Yan frowned, ignoring the pain in her feet, and forced herself to walk.

Bo Siheng was inexplicably a little unhappy.

"I'll carry you on my back."

"Need not……"

Before He Yan could finish speaking, she noticed that his expression was also not good.

"At this point, your husband is someone you can use; otherwise, what use am I?"

Bo Siheng ignored He Yan's rebuttal and simply carried her on his back.

He discovered that He Yan was actually very light.

However, his body couldn't withstand the strain, and the chaos inside had already made it difficult for him to breathe.

He Yan didn't say anything while he carried her on his back, but she was touched.

Was he being a little too nice to her?
