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

It was already dark.

As dusk settles outside, the city lights create a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

He Yan looked at Bo Siheng, whose face shifted between light and shadow, but his expression remained unchanged.

His gaze towards her was filled with the same concern as always.

She didn't want to let down this hard-won kindness.

In her heart, Bo Siheng was a good person.

She came to repay a debt of gratitude, hoping to cure him.

At the same time, after learning that he was also worried about the Bo family's affairs, she felt that she should help him.

"You can be curious, but please believe me, my affairs will not affect you."

He Yan knew that Bo Siheng had his own pressures and responsibilities.

She wouldn't let her affairs involve him.

Three months into their marriage, every day felt like a countdown to divorce.

"My wife brings me new surprises every day."

Bo Siheng sighed helplessly, but he was still a little unhappy because he felt that she did not trust him.

That only shows that he hasn't done enough and hasn't been able to become her support.

"I don't doubt you, I just hope I can help you."

"Then how about I save them up first?"

He Yan didn't reply; her bright smile was a playful misinterpretation of his meaning.

She had her own reasons.

They weren't a real couple, so she couldn't rely on him.

"Mr. Bo is my trump card, and I must use him in critical moments."

He Yan reminded herself to maintain her sense of propriety and not to act on impulse.

It's been a month since they got married.

Her plans also need to be accelerated.

Bo Siheng is a good person, and good people should live to be a hundred years old.

"Then, Mrs. Bo, could you tell me how you knew what medicine Old Master Li needed?"

Bo Siheng knew He Yan had a secret, but she didn't want to tell him that she wouldn't ask.

However, there were some things he wanted to understand clearly so that he could help her in the future.

"Actually, I have friends in the medicine garden. They have channels to buy medicine on the black market. Before I returned to the He family, that's how I made money. Cooperating with the medicine garden is also a kind of investment."

He Yan made up excuses that were half true and half false, partly to avoid revealing her true identity.

The more she exposes herself, the more dangerous it becomes for those around her.

Even though she herself didn't realize it, she had categorized Bo Siheng as someone who needed protection.

She is different from others.

"You turned down our dinner date just to make money?"

Bo Siheng frowned, somewhat surprised, but mostly helpless.

He noticed that she looked unwell and feared she was hungry.

He Yan was indeed a little hungry, and her stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.

She clutched her stomach, yet continued to answer him with a straight face, her fabricated story convincing even to herself.

“Originally there was no chance, but Professor Zhong needed medicine to treat Old Master Li, so I insisted on grabbing him and even misused your name to get in.”

Bo Siheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw He Yan showing such a rare innocent side.

Unexpectedly, his wife is quite the little money-grubber.

But then I thought, she must have had a very bad life before she returned to the He family.

Now that he has the opportunity, he must treat her well.

"So how much money have you made selling medicine? I didn't expect my wife to be so capable and have such a good business sense."

"It's alright, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

He Yan observed his expression, noting the smug look in his eyes.

"Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it, and I am honored to share in it."

Bo Siheng's eyes were full of tenderness, a testament to his affirmation of He Yan.

He knew that He Yan had a strong and confident heart. She was never the mediocre person others described, but an uncut gem that was gradually shining.

The light was bright yet gentle, making him want to get closer and possess it.

"Let's go to the Flower Courtyard."

Bo Siheng felt sorry for He Yan being hungry, so he instructed the driver.

She wanted to fulfill her duties as a husband.

“It’s always been Madam who reminds me to eat on time. Today it’s my turn to remind Madam.”

He looked at He Yan and naturally took her hand.

He would never ask her what she didn't want to talk about.

They hadn't known each other for very long, but he could trust her completely and sincerely.

Bo Siheng only hopes that one day, He Yan will also be able to fully believe in him.

"It seems Mr. Bo put a lot of thought into today's meal."

He Yan knew that Hua Ting Courtyard was a very famous place with a beautiful environment and charming scenery. The artificial rockery and pond were exquisite, making it a great place to relax.

She smiled happily, but was quite surprised inside.

Has Bo Siheng been acting too smartly lately?

Did they find a master to guide them?

Bo Siheng was very satisfied with the meal, which Yu Cheng had spent over an hour finding.

The smile on He Yan's face indicated that he was on the right track.

"Because my wife works hard, I, as her husband, should reward her."

Bo Siheng liked to use the way He Yan addressed him when he spoke.

That was a joy he harbored with a hidden agenda.

"Madam, you don't need to worry about anything you do. I will always believe in you and support you."

What happened today really piqued his curiosity.

But Bo Siheng knew that Professor Zhong and the Li family couldn't both be lying.

He believed He Yan's explanation and didn't press the matter further.

at the same time.

Back at the Jin family home, Jin Sheng recounted the events of the day to his father.

The whole family was curious, but also had doubts.

"The appearance of He Yan is so suspicious. Could she really be the successor of the divine doctor who went with Professor Zhong? But how could that be? She was brought back from the countryside by the He family. The Li family would not lie for her."

Jin Tianlang also regretted not going there himself.

As it turned out, this son was utterly useless and knew nothing.

"He Yiyi asked, but she didn't get any answers."

Jin Sheng pouted, unconvinced, but didn't see anything wrong with it.

"That He Yan couldn't be it."

"you really……"

Jin Tianlang was furious, but he couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

We must find out exactly who the legendary healer is.

the other side.

Even after returning to the He family, He Yiyi still harbored doubts.

“I clearly asked the maids that Master Bo went alone, they couldn’t possibly be lying, so why did Master Bo speak up for He Yan? There must be something wrong here.”

She couldn't understand why her teacher and the Li family were giving the same story.

Is everyone covering for He Yan?

Doesn't that mean she has a very powerful identity, making everyone keep quiet?

But what gives her the right?

He's just a country bumpkin who came back from the countryside.

"He Yan has no connections and no ability, so she can only rely on the Bo family. She must have heard about this and deliberately went there to try to curry favor. She definitely didn't save Old Master Li."

There's no smoke without fire; this can only mean that Professor Zhong did indeed invite a disciple of a legendary healer.

They simply didn't believe that person could be He Yan.

Anyone who heard about the successor of the legendary healer would have wicked thoughts.

He Yiyi is the same as the Jin family.

She also wanted to find the successor of the legendary healer so that she could obtain those prescriptions.

With the prescription, how could she not replace He Yan and win Bo Ye's favor?

...

He Yan and Bo Siheng went home after dinner.

She hadn't recovered from the exhaustion and wanted to rest.

"A hot shower before sleeping will make you feel more comfortable."

Bo Siheng took meticulous care of her.

He noticed the inconsistencies in He Yan's behavior, but said nothing.

Some things, once said, may not be what you want to hear.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

He Yan chuckled slightly, but felt a warmth in her heart at Bo Siheng's care.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she felt weak all over.

"Then don't think about anything, rest is the most important thing."

Bo Siheng escorted He Yan to the bathroom door and then sat down on the sofa to wait.

At this moment, Zhong Wenqian rushed over in a great hurry.

Because he had also heard about the successor of the divine physician.

"Butler, is Master Bo asleep? I have something important to discuss with him!"
