Chapter 494 Agreeing to the Deal

Han Xi went to the coffee shop across from the university, the place where she often met with Bo Siye during her four years at university.

Of course, at that time, it was all for the purpose of obtaining information about Shen Jiheng. Although it was just a deception set up by Bo Siye, this place became their secret base for meeting.

Back then, Bo Siye decided that this place would be their usual meeting place, and they would meet here whenever something happened. Even if Han Xi hated him, she couldn't erase these memories.

Han Xi came here and ordered two coffees. She carefully observed the shop. Because it had been renovated several times, it looked very new and had no sense of age, but many things had changed.

Just as the coffee was placed on the table, a gentle voice came from behind me.

"I thought you'd forgotten about this place, but I didn't expect you to still remember it."

Han Xi turned around, looked at him, and smiled slightly, "You know I have a very good memory, how could I forget something like this?"

Bo Siye replied, "So, you remember all the bad things I've done."

Han Xi looked at him. She hadn't come today to settle accounts, but to have a sincere conversation with him.

"Don't stand, sit down. I ordered an extra espresso, it's to your liking. Also, I noticed there are a lot of new items on the menu, would you like to try them?"

Han Xi's politeness made Bo Siyue feel a little dazed. He had long expected that she was here to persuade him, but this politeness was so different from her previous demeanor. He appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't get used to it.

Perhaps because I've gotten used to her harsh words, her sudden friendliness is hard to handle.

Bo Siye stared intently at the coffee on the table, when he heard Han Xi remark, "They've been using the same cup for over ten years, even the chairs are the same, and the coffee tastes the same too."

Bo Siye sat down and took a couple of sips, his expression complex. Only these people had changed.

"What they're doing is driven by passion."

Han Xi nodded: "Indeed, when I first came in, the decor was the same as before, and the owner and staff were all there, but you could see the marks of several months on everyone's faces."

It had been a long time since he had a calm and peaceful conversation with her, and Bo Siyue began to feel dazed, as if he had truly returned to the past.

He had always regretted it. If he could go back to the past, he wouldn't have used Shen Jiheng as a cover to approach Han Xi; he would have definitely pursued her.

"Han Xi, there's always been a question I've wanted to ask you: if I had pursued you back then, would you have said yes?"

Han Xi replied truthfully, "I've thought about that too. Back then, everyone thought we were a couple. Didn't you ever wonder why I never clarified it?"

This question surprised Bo Siyue. He had deliberately spread the news that the two were dating, and Han Xi hadn't rejected him at the time. He thought it was all because his plan had worked, and he hadn't considered her true feelings.

He asked incredulously, "Does that mean you also tacitly agree to this relationship?"

"You used to be really good. You were gentle, considerate, and understanding. You helped me a lot. Although that feeling might not have been love, it made me think that being with you would be nice."

Bo Siye really didn't expect Han Xi to have such thoughts back then. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have seized the opportunity.

Han Xi said regretfully, "I never thought we would end up as enemies. I often think that if so many things hadn't happened, we would at least have become close friends."

"But what I've always wanted is not the identity of a close friend."

Although he initially approached Han Xi to stop her from being with Shen Jiheng, as time went on, he developed a strong interest in this woman.

Once Bo Siyue realized he had fallen in love with her, he tried every means to get her, resorting to all sorts of schemes.

What's most infuriating is that when the truth about his background came out, he realized that he was the one who should have married Han Xi back then.

It was the selfishness of the Bo family that led him to this situation, and now he's been abandoned by the Shen family. How can he possibly accept all of this?

"You've told me so much, just to get me to let my aunt go, right?"

Han Xi did not get excited, but calmly said, "So you really did take her away, and I did come here for her."

Bo Siyue looked at her with a smile, "Do you think I'll let her go with you after saying a few words?"

Han Xi took a couple of sips of coffee and said, "Si Ye, you can hate anyone, but have you forgotten how good your aunt was to you? I remember when your company encountered trouble abroad, it was she who stepped in to help you resolve it."

"So what? These are things they owe me. I don't want to be her enemy, but she actually helped you against me. Do you know how much effort I put into all of this, and she ruined it all?"

If Bo Ya hadn't done these things in private, Bo Siye would have brought down Shen Jiheng long ago.

Helping Shen Jiheng is tantamount to becoming her enemy. To prevent her from striking again, the only way is to capture her using this method.

“She was just trying to stop the conflict, she never hurt you. She hoped that the two of you could put aside your grudges and get along peacefully. Why don’t you understand her intentions?”

“You don’t understand. The more you protect him, the more I want him to fall. He is high and mighty, while I am abandoned. I will never let this go.”

"You are so stubborn. Your aunt is delicate and weak. How can you be so heartless to treat her like this?"

Bo Siye remained calm, showing no concern for the lives of these people.

Han Xi took a deep breath and got down to business: "You know I came here for her. Tell me, what do you want in order to let her go?"

Bo Siye looked her over for a moment and smiled, "It's strange. Normally, that person would never let you come to see me, but today he took the initiative to meet me. I suppose he knows that too."

At this point, Han Xi didn't hide anything from him and nodded, saying, "We all care about Auntie. Please state your conditions as soon as possible."

Bo Siye smiled smugly and said with a hint of satisfaction, "If I had known that kidnapping Aunt would have been more useful, I would have acted sooner. That way, you would have come to me. You should know what I want."

Han Xi shook his head, even if he knew, he would let him speak for himself.

Bo Siyue laughed and said, "I still have the same conditions. I want you to marry me, and then we will hold a wedding of the century so that the whole world will know that you, Han Xi, are my wife, Bo Siyue."

Han Xi showed no anger or unusual expression. When she sat here waiting for him, she must have already anticipated this outcome when she decided to come to him.

When Bo Siye thought she would scold him or refuse him as she always had, Han Xi actually nodded.

"Okay, you choose the date. Since we're getting married, we should choose an auspicious day."

Bo Siye looked surprised, never expecting that she would actually agree.

Are you telling the truth?

"You know my personality, I won't lie to you."

Bo Siye believed in her character, but after she agreed, he felt confused.

"Are you really sure? If you marry me, you won't be leaving unless I die."

"You should have thought of that a long time ago, otherwise why would I have sat down and calmly talked to you about so many things?"
