“Yi, how did you find time to come today?” Qiao Xinhui was the last to react, and upon seeing Bo Yi with gifts, her face lit up. “Yi, you’re welcome anytime. Why bring so many things? You’re treating me like a stranger.”


“Yi, please have a seat. Someone, prepare a fresh pot of tea,” Cheng Ye called out warmly. “It’s been a while since you visited after Fifth went abroad. Let’s have a good conversation tonight.”


“Yi, have you had dinner?”


“Yes, thank you.” Bo Yi remained polite and composed.


“Yi, it’s been some time, and you’ve grown even more mature and composed…” Qiao Xinhui found him quite impressive. His stature, appearance, and abilities were all exceptional, nearly impeccable.


On the second floor.


Cheng Yuqi had intended to head downstairs and chat with her parents once Fang Yuan returned to her room. She thought it would help strengthen her relationship with them and possibly indirectly glean information about the situation with the elderly gentleman. However, as she opened the door, she overheard two servants discussing Bo Yi’s arrival. After inquiring further, she learned that Bo Yi was already in the living room. Her legs went weak, and she nearly lost her balance out of fear.


“Lady Yuqi.” Auntie Wang rushed over to assist her. “Are you all right?”


“Auntie Wang!” Cheng Yuqi grasped Auntie Wang’s hand, her body trembling from anxiety. “Yi is here, in the living room… He must have come because of today’s events! If Mom and Dad find out that I was responsible for his grandfather’s accident… what should I do?”


“Don’t panic. First, let’s hear what he has to say,” Auntie Wang reassured her.


“I can’t… his perspective will be entirely different from my confession.” After weighing her options, Cheng Yuqi swiftly made her choice. “1 need to go downstairs right now and apologize, or rather, confess!”


“Lady Yuqi, don’t act hastily.” Auntie Wang grabbed her hand, trying to steady her. “Stay calm and composed. Let’s assess the situation downstairs first and listen to my advice!”


In the living room, Bo Yi began, “Uncle, Auntie, the primary reason for my abrupt visit today revolves around Miss Cheng.”


Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui exchanged puzzled glances. Miss Cheng… could he possibly mean Yuanyuan?


Bo Yi had always been well-informed, likely having heard about the Cheng Family’s situation. He might be aware that the Cheng family had another daughter and that Cheng Yuqi was an adopted child.


Sensing that he had something to share, Qiao Xinhui took the lead and said, “Yi, this recent incident took us all by surprise, leaving us no time to inform you. To understand the full context, we need to go back in time…”


Bo Yi assumed she would refer to their past engagement, so he nodded, giving her his patient attention.


Qiao Xinhui recounted the health center fire incident that occurred 18 years ago. She continued, “We only recently discovered Yuanyuan’s whereabouts, and we hadn’t yet made her identity public. Her grandparents and grandmother were also unaware. This wasn’t an intentional concealment from you or the Bo Family.”


Bo Yi:”???”


Mu Qing:”???”


With no more room for evasion, Qiao Xinhui reluctantly instructed, “Auntie Du, please bring down the Sixth Miss.”


Mu Qing glanced at Mrs. Cheng and then at Master Bo. She pondered, What’s happening? Wasn’t Master Bo engaged to Lady Yuqi? If not, then the engagement should be dissolved. If he didn’t desire Lady Yuqi, who excelled in arts and beauty, how could he possibly be interested in a girl from a modest background like Lady Yuanyuan? At the very least, Lady Yuqi possessed talents and good looks. She was among Haicheng City’s elite socialites. But Lady Yuanyuan…


Bo Yi’s gaze grew even more contemplative, as if he was deep in thought.


Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had just finished her bath. Upon hearing her mother’s call to come downstairs, she didn’t hesitate and descended immediately. Clad in a delicate silk nightdress, her hair elegantly pinned up, she showcased her long, fair legs as she moved confidently before everyone.


Upon witnessing the person who descended the staircase, Mu Qing’s jaw dropped in sheer astonishment. Miss Fang Yuan—was she truly the Cheng Family’s newfound biological daughter?


Bo Yi arched an eyebrow, his profound gaze penetrating. /Why her? Could it be that she was the real Cheng Family daughter?/


As Fang Yuan reached the bottom of the stairs, her eyes fell upon Bo Yi seated on the couch. His strikingly handsome visage bore a mischievous smile, and his eyes glistened with an enigmatic allure. Why had this man graced her home with his presence?


Baffled, Fang Yuan inquired, “Mom, did you need me for something?”


“Come here, Yuanyuan, and sit with Mom,” Qiao Xinhui beckoned, guiding her daughter to a seat. She spoke tenderly, “Allow me to make introductions. This is Bo Yi. Many years ago, our Cheng Family and the Bo Family were engaged in a marriage arrangement. In fact, Yi is your intended fiance…”


Fang Yuan:”???” What on earth? Fiance? What era was this for there to still be talk of arranged marriages?
