Upon hearing Fang Yuan’s firm rejection, Zhao Quan’s heart turned cold. However, the realization that his relative was still in the detention center and might implicate him weighed heavily on his mind. With a heavy heart, he pressed on, “President Fang, our families share a very close bond in private. My mother just turned 89 this year, and she’s been in tears since he got arrested. She pleads with me to help him. Otherwise, she feels she has no reason to go on…”

“His family, too, came to me and created quite a commotion. I had no option but to muster my courage and approach you…”

“Our family simply can’t bear to see him suffering like this…”

Fang Yuan raised her head, her tone cold, “Can you bear to let an employee suffer in this manner?”

Zhao Quan faltered, “This…”

“There’s no room for negotiation. President Zhao, you should consider your own position more. Mr. Li is your relative, and the company’s headquarters will undoubtedly pursue this matter to its conclusion.”

Zhao Quan’s heart grew cold as he listened to her words. His previously resolute demeanor wavered. He bowed slightly and left, disheartened.

Fang Yuan savored the afternoon tea that Bo Yi had arranged and attended to her work for a while before finishing for the day.

As night descended, Bo Yi took her to a candlelit dinner. There appeared to be a thousand words in his eyes, yet he remained silent, serving her food with a pensive expression.

“What’s on your mind?” Fang Yuan inquired, puzzled by his hesitant expression.

“Don’t you like the bracelet?” Bo Yi gazed into her captivating eyes, appearing somewhat dejected. “Or… have you lost interest in me?”

Fang Yuan was taken aback.”….”

“Is it because I’ve been persistently pursuing you lately, and it’s gotten on your nerves?” Bo Yi took a warm towel and gently wiped a hint of sauce from the corner of her mouth. His eyes were intense as he awaited her response.

It was only at that moment that Fang Yuan realized she had forgotten to wear the bracelet.

“If you’re not fond of me, I’ll put in more effort to win your affection. Can you give me some more time?” Bo Yi said earnestly.

Fang Yuan remained silent.

“If you don’t like that bracelet, 1 can design another one for you,” he continued.

Fang Yuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

“You designed that bracelet?”

This revelation wasn’t surprising for Bo Yi. His talent for design had been evident since his youth. Mu Qing had even once said that if he devoted himself to design, he would become a legend in the industry. His design skills had even caused a sensation on the international stage.

“Yes,” Bo Yi affirmed, looking into her eyes with determination. “Is it the bracelet, or is it me? If it’s both, I’m willing to change both.”

Fang Yuan’s lips curled into a bright smile. “The bracelet is lovely. I really like it. 1 took it off this afternoon because I accidentally spilled some juice, and I forgot to put it back on.” It seemed he thought she didn’t like him because of this?

“What about me?” Bo Yi gazed at her intently. “Do you like me?”

Fang Yuan hesitated. Who asked such a direct question?

But Bo Yi insisted, “Do you like me or not?”

Fang Yuan relented, “Alright, 1 do. Can we eat now without any more questions?”

Bo Yi affectionately touched her face, his earlier gloominess replaced by joy and tenderness. Fang Yuan’s response seemed to indicate he hadn’t done too poorly. He smiled and began feeding her happily.

Fang Yuan interjected, “I can eat on my own.”

Bo Yi leaned closer and whispered suggestively, “Or do you want me to feed you with a spoon?”

Fang Yuan blushed. This guy was getting cheekier by the moment!

After finishing their meal, Bo Yi escorted Fang Yuan to the office building. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. “I’ll go up with you.”

Fang Yuan remarked, “The company’s production line operates 24 hours a day. If you come up, you might be seen by the production department.”

Seeing Bo Yi’s somewhat dejected expression, Fang Yuan added with a hint of helplessness, “Wait here for a while. I’ll come back down once I retrieve the bracelet.”

Bo Yi seized the opportunity to negotiate, “Then give me a hug first.”

Fang Yuan sighed.”….”

“Just a quick hug. I’ll let you go upstairs,” Bo Yi extended his arms and requested a hug, much like a child.

Fang Yuan was left speechless as she watched this typically reserved man act so childishly before her. In order to avoid being seen, she hurriedly and lightly embraced him.

Initially, she assumed they would part ways after the brief contact, but Bo Yi’s arms suddenly tightened around her. “When can we step into the light?”

Fang Yuan inquired, “What do you mean?”

Bo Yi clarified, “When can I publicly announce that I’m your fiance?”

“…” Fang Yuan felt a sense of helplessness. “Is this really so important?”

“It’s crucial,” he declared, hugging her tightly. “It’s very important. Are there any suitors within the company?”

Fang Yuan found it amusing. In the past few days, she had turned the company upside down. Not a single person, male or female, dared to approach her.

“No,” she replied.

“I like that,” Bo Yi confessed, inhaling her scent. “I like you very much. You have a fiance, so it’s essential to maintain a certain distance from others.”

Fang Yuan.”.. “
