The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

"Young Master Si, Zhenzhen, I really didn't expect that you would become so distant from me after we grew up." Si Yanjing was already in a bad mood, and now, hearing Zhou Yanhuan say these words, he exuded a cold aura. That aura seemed to freeze everything around him, making people shudder.

Everyone in the private room instantly felt Si Yanjing's cold aura.

Sitting closest to Si Yanjing, Lin Yanxuan looked at his good friend with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment. He simply couldn't understand what had gotten into this guy today! He'd woken up one morning and inexplicably insisted that everyone skip work and travel all the way to Hong Kong to celebrate his birthday. And what was even more unbelievable was that they'd actually ended up on his private jet and flown all the way to Hong Kong.

However, that wasn't the end of it. After arriving in Hong Kong, Si Yanjing insisted on bringing Zhou Yanhuan over as well. But right now, he was acting all sullen, as if someone owed him millions. Lin Yanxuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's wrong with this kid today? Has his belated rebellious phase finally erupted?"

Zhou Yanhuan stared at Si Yanjing with a puzzled look, her heart filled with confusion. Why did he show such an expression? Was he angry? But what could be the reason for his anger? Since she was fourteen, she and Si Yanjing had maintained a polite yet distant family relationship. They had always kept a certain distance, and now his reaction truly puzzled Zhou Yanhuan. "I always feel that there's something strange about Si Yanjing in front of me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. His expression doesn't seem much different from usual, but his whole demeanor seems different, as if he's hiding something from me."

Zhou Yanhuan, holding Xiao Jiu, stared at Si Yanjing with a calm, indifferent expression, her eyes revealing a coldness and composure. Her expression was utterly flat, as if she were unconcerned about everything unfolding before her, but in reality, her heart was in turmoil. She held Xiao Jiu tightly in her arms, seemingly trying to convey her determination and unyielding spirit through this gesture. Si Yanjing sat on the sofa, silently meeting Zhou Yanhuan's gaze. The atmosphere between them was unusually tense, as if a silent contest was unfolding. However, Zhou Yanhuan had no intention of speaking; she chose to remain silent.

"Huanhuan, why did you come with my Xinyan and the other woman?" Ning Zhouyuan looked at the woman before him, a sense of doubt welling up inside him. He stared sharply at Huanhuan, trying to find a clue in her expression. However, Huanhuan simply lowered her head, remaining silent, seemingly lost in thought. Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe. Finally, Ning Zhouyuan couldn't help but speak, trying to break the suffocating silence.

"Oh, here's what happened. Xin Yan brought her fiancé, Xu Shao, to our Zhenzhen Hotel, saying she wanted to introduce us. During our conversation, she casually mentioned that Xu Shao had an idea and hoped to get my financial support to invest in his company. Just then, I suddenly received a call from He Junze, saying he needed my help with something. Coincidentally, Ning Xin Yan and the others were also planning to go to the Junyue Club, so we all came together." Zhou Yanhuan explained the situation as she turned and sat down on the sofa next to Ning Xin Yan.

Si Yanjing looked at Zhou Yanhuan expressionlessly. Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him at all, he couldn't help but feel a little amused, but at the same time, he felt an indescribable anger and disappointment.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Miss Zhou, you really make me, Si, look at you in a new light! We're supposed to be born on the same day of the same month, right? How come you can't even afford to bring me a birthday present? Does that mean you've become so distant from me?" After saying that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yanhuan was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Si Yanjing's words. Yes, Si Yanjing was born on the same day of the same month as her. He was three years older than her. They had celebrated her birthday together until she was four years old. After that, she didn't celebrate her birthday anymore, but she never missed giving Si Yanjing a birthday present. She would send it to his home or company the day before his birthday.

Lin Yanjun's head spun the moment Si Yanjing mentioned "born on the same day of the same month." Of course, they knew that Zhou Yanhuan and Si Yanjing shared the same birthday. But even though they knew, Zhou Yanhuan hadn't celebrated a birthday since he was four years old, and Si Yanjing had told him not to mention it anymore.

At this very moment, Si Yanjing actually brought this up himself! You see, "her birthday" is a taboo word for Zhou Yanhuan! What's wrong with him today? Is he really going through what people say is a rebellious phase? Completely disregarding friend and foe, indiscriminately killing? This is truly baffling!

"Mr. Si, is everything you're doing just to make your presence known?" Ning Xinyan, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly blurted out this question, directly exposing the ulterior motives hidden behind Si Yanjing's actions.

As soon as Xu Linfeng said this, everyone looked at him as if they had been frozen in place, feeling that Xu Linfeng's childish behavior was like the sun rising in the west, and should not have appeared in Si Yanjing.

Upon hearing Xu Linfeng's words, Si Yanjing suddenly fell silent, as still as a statue. Xu Linfeng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the hidden thoughts deep within his heart.

Upon waking this morning, fragments of memories, seemingly not his own, flooded his mind. In those memories, he had suddenly transformed from a vibrant 17-year-old into someone like an emotionless robot. But it was also in that year that he and Xia Wenqian, who loved him, got together, and in his memory, he was deeply in love with her. At the same time, he gradually distanced himself from Zhou Yanhuan, and at the age of 20, he was ruthlessly dumped by his so-called girlfriend. All of this was unacceptable to him. He didn't even know who Xia Wenqian was, yet he and Zhou Yanhuan were slowly becoming strangers because of her.

Therefore, Si Yanjing found it hard to accept Zhou Yanhuan's distant attitude.

Si Yanjing tried to get Zhou Yanhuan's attention with this childish behavior, but Zhou Yanhuan ignored him. Zhou Yanhuan had changed. In the past, whenever he was angry, she would always act cute and charming towards him.
