The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Xu Linchuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly understood. He thought to himself: So that's how it is! Si Yanjing did those things to Zhou Yanhuan on purpose from the very beginning! He knew perfectly well that those words would step on Zhou Yanhuan's sore spots, but he still said them anyway. Wasn't that just dancing on Zhou Yanhuan's sensitive areas? Moreover, Si Yanjing's purpose was also very obvious; he just wanted to get Zhou Yanhuan's attention!

Thinking of this, Xu Linchuan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed the Si family patriarch was pressuring them too much for even someone like Si Yanjing to resort to such special methods. However, this also showed that Si Yanjing valued this engagement quite a bit. After all, if it weren't for this engagement, he probably wouldn't be in such a hurry to attract Zhou Yanhuan's attention!

Si Yanjing wanted to pursue Zhou Yanhuan, who was right next to him, and he was happy to see it happen, but his method was terrible. It was as childish and pointless as a naughty little boy in kindergarten pulling a cute girl's braids. This wouldn't make her fall for him; instead, it would only annoy and disgust her. After all, they were all adults; they should act more maturely and steadily. Acting like a child would only make them look bad. So, if you want to win over someone you like, you need to use your brain! You need to understand their preferences and needs, and then cater to them accordingly. That's how you achieve twice the result with half the effort! Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, it'll all be in vain.

Xu Linchuan found it increasingly interesting and decided to continue observing to see what other interesting things would happen between Si Yanjing and Zhou Yanhuan.

Xu Linchuan understood, but didn't expose him, only secretly rejoicing as he watched Si Yanjing make a fool of himself. His close friend, for some reason, had undergone a drastic personality change in recent years, becoming indifferent and heartless. Not only that, he had also entered into an utterly absurd romance, further distancing himself from Zhou Yanhuan. Now, the tables have turned; karma is truly swift! And who can escape the wrath of Heaven?

"Jing-ge, you've really gone too far! How could you bully our company's top female star? And you even asked Huan-jie for a gift! You're three years older than Huan-jie! You didn't even prepare a gift for her, and you still have the nerve to ask her that question?" Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but stand up for Zhou Yanhuan. He knew that Si Yanjing was acting strangely today, but he couldn't let him hurt Zhou Yanhuan no matter what.

You must understand, Zhou Yanhuan isn't just a popular star at Qing'an Entertainment Company; she's also the company's behind-the-scenes boss! She's Lu Chengzhou's sugar daddy, and anyone who dares to displease her will face unimaginable consequences. Therefore, Lu Chengzhou absolutely cannot stand idly by; he must step forward to protect her.

Si Yanjing stood up from the sofa without a word. His steps were steady and firm, each step seemingly carrying an irresistible force. Everyone's eyes followed him, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

Zhou Yanhuan, sitting on the sofa, was equally surprised, but she did not show much panic. She simply watched as Si Yanjing gradually approached her.

Seeing this, everyone present except Zhou Yanhuan was startled by Si Yanjing's sudden action. Lu Chengzhou was even more anxious, and he instinctively wanted to rush forward to stop Si Yanjing to prevent any accidents. However, just as he was about to make a move, Xu Linchuan quickly reached out and pressed him down, signaling him to calm down.

Si Yanjing stopped in front of Zhou Yanhuan, and the two stared at each other at close range. The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Si Yanjing slowly crouched down, his tall and imposing figure gradually aligning with Zhou Yanhuan's line of sight. Their eyes met in the air, and time seemed to stand still at that moment. Zhou Yanhuan felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, her heartbeat growing increasingly violent, as if it would burst out of her chest at any second.

She tried to calm herself, but the man's gaze was too intense for her to resist. Si Yanjing's eyes were deep and bright, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, drawing Zhou Yanhuan involuntarily into them. In that brief moment of eye contact, she could feel the emotions deep within her heart.

"I'm sorry, Zhenzhen, I really shouldn't have lost my temper with you! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Si Yanjing's tone was low and full of apology, as if all the guilt and self-blame in his heart were conveyed to the other person through these words.

His voice held an indescribable tenderness that deeply moved listeners. This tenderness wasn't feigned or a false performance, but rather stemmed from his genuine emotions. Perhaps only when facing that special person could he reveal such a true and profound side of himself.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around him became insignificant. Si Yanjing's eyes were only on Zhenzhen; he hoped to make up for his past mistakes with his sincerest apology. He knew the damage had been done, but he was willing to put in the effort to salvage the relationship and regain Zhenzhen's trust and love.

Zhou Yanhuan watched silently as Si Yanjing, tall and imposing, squatted down. His 188cm height seemed somewhat cramped at that moment. She carefully examined Si Yanjing's face, pondering to herself. She noticed a strange aura emanating from his features, as if his soul had just undergone a reconstruction but had not yet fully stabilized.

Her gaze was sharp and perceptive, attempting to see beyond the surface to a deeper truth. However, Zhou Yanhuan could not fathom his destiny. What exactly caused the reshaping of Si Yanjing's soul, and what factors influenced its stability?

Si Yanjing looked at Zhou Yanhuan's silent expression and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Xinyan, give me my bag," Zhou Yanhuan said to Ning Xinyan.

Upon hearing that Zhou Yanhuan wanted a bag, Ning Xinyan immediately nimbly snatched Zhou Yanhuan's red embroidered vintage bag from the other side of the sofa and gave it to her. She then took Xiao Jiu from Zhou Yanhuan's arms.

Zhou Yanhuan pretended to rummage through her bag, but actually took out a Sanskrit jade pendant that she had carved herself from her personal space and handed it to Si Yanjing. Zhou Yanhuan remained calm as she slowly took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from her bag. It was covered with dense, strange patterns and exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.

“I see your spirit is unstable. This jade pendant, which I carved myself, you should wear close to your body,” Zhou Yanhuan said calmly, like a charlatan promoting his product. “It can help stabilize your spirit and keep you safe.”

Zhou Yanhuan's expression and tone, however, carried an indescribable air of mystery.

Si Yanjing didn't think carefully about what Zhou Yanhuan meant before they instinctively took the jade pendant.

The moment Si Yanjing received the jade pendant, a cool sensation spread throughout his body along his arm, and his previously restless mind gradually calmed down.

Si Wo looked at Zhou Yanhuan in disbelief, a wild smile spreading across his face. Zhenzhen, this jade pendant you gave him is a priceless treasure.

Si Yanjing immediately put the jade pendant close to his body into his pocket, intending to wear it around his neck and keep it close to his body from then on.

Si Yanjing stood up, affectionately patted Zhou Yanhuan's head, and said, "I will definitely wear it close to my body. Thank you for making this jade pendant for me, Zhenzhen."

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg. Just moments before, they had been convinced the two would be on the verge of a fight, perhaps even coming to blows. Yet, the next second, Zhou Yanhuan simply offered a jade token, which the other party accepted without hesitation, as if the previous tension had never existed.

Xu Linfeng stared wide-eyed at Zhou Yanhuan and Si Yanjing in disbelief. He thought to himself, "Brother, if you had come back any later, someone might have stolen your own house!" He couldn't help but feel worried for his good friend.

This little farce, started by Si Yanjing, ended when Si Yanjing took the initiative to back down and show weakness to Zhou Yanhuan.
