Chapter 2117: All For Naught
“And Ji Han. I winked at him, so he tried to add me on WeChat and chatted with me in the middle of the night.”
Ye Qingcheng rolled her eyes and raised her chin like a proud little peacock. “Tsk, who cares about them!”
Bo Cixue and the rest were amused by Ye Qingcheng’s words and expression.
Yan Hua walked in and a gentle expression appeared on her face when she saw the smiling girls.
Seeing them, she seemed to see her back then, Nan Zhi, Yanran…
“Little Apple, you have to go out to welcome the guests.”
The girls in the dressing room greeted Yan Hua and went out with a smile.
When only Bo Cixue and Yan Hua were left, Bo Cixue lifted her skirt hem and walked around Yan Hua. “Mom, how is it?”
“Our Little Apple is so beautiful. Mommy is very proud to have a daughter like you.”
“Mommy, I love you so much.”
“Let’s go out.”
Ye Jie changed into his engagement suit in the palace, got into the car, and left for the hotel.
He leaned against the back seat, his eyes dark.
The car drove for nearly ten minutes before Ye Jie, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
Both the driver and Ah Zuo were stunned.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong? The engagement ceremony is about to start.”
“Stop the car.” Ye Jie repeated coldly.
The driver did not dare to disobey Ye Jie’s order and immediately stopped the car.
Ye Jie pushed open the door, got out of the car quickly, and ran toward an alley.
Ah Zuo was afraid that something would happen to Ye Jie and ran over.
Ye Jie entered the alley. It was long and dark and the familiar figure he had seen in the car earlier was gone.
He narrowed his deep black eyes slightly.
His handsome jaw clenched slightly and he walked into the alley.
There was a rubbish bin deep in the alley.
He stopped in front of the rubbish bin.
“Are you coming out yourself, or do you want me to find you?”
After a few seconds, the lid of the rubbish bin slowly opened.
A dirty and slightly handsome face was exposed to him.
His pupils constricted at that moment.
They stared at each other for a long time.
It felt like a century.
Her lips moved. “Jie, long time no see.”
Ah Zuo ran forward and was stunned when he saw the person in the rubbish bin. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Bo Cixue stood at the entrance of the banquet hall as the guests came one after another.
Both parents had arrived, but the male lead had not arrived yet.
Bo Cixue looked at the clock in the banquet hall. It was almost time for the engagement ceremony to officially begin.
He had always been a punctual person and should not be late!
After waiting for a while, Yan Hua saw that Ye Jie had not come yet and looked at Nan Zhi. Nan Zhi was calling Ye Jie, but no one answered.
Nan Zhi called Ah Zuo again, but no one answered.
Nan Zhi said to Yan Hua, “I’ll go out and make another call. It’s such a big thing, Xiaojie will know his place.”
Yan Hua nodded.
Yan Hua walked to Bo Cixue’s side and her long and thick eyelashes fluttered. “Mom, can’t I get through to Brother Xiaojie?”
“He should be here soon.”
Bo Cixue hummed.
At this time, no one wanted to think about anything bad.
Another half an hour passed.
The guests in the banquet hall started to discuss softly, but Ye Jie still did not come.
Bo Cixue could not calm down anymore. She clenched her hands into fists and her heart tightened.
“Mom, did something happen?”
She really could not think of a reason why he would not attend the engagement party. The only possibility was that something had happened to him.
Did he get into a car accident on the way?
At this thought, Bo Cixue could not calm down.
“I’ll go to the dressing room to get my phone.” Bo Cixue ignored Yan Hua’s obstruction and went to the dressing room.
Passing through a long corridor, Bo Cixue met several socialites who had come to attend the wedding when she was about to reach the dressing room.
It was obvious that they had not noticed Bo Cixue and were discussing about Ye Jie not coming.
“When I heard that they were getting engaged, I thought that Bo Cixue had finally captured the Crown Prince’s heart, but it turned into a joke!”
“That’s right. Men won’t take women to heart!”
“Although we didn’t invite the media today, all the famous families in the capital have come, but they were slapped ruthlessly! Even if they’re not together in the future, no famous family will want such a daughter-in-law!”
“Sigh, I think she’s quite pitiful. She liked someone so much since she was young and was about to get married, but she was abandoned.”
“But I really ate her face. She’s really super beautiful today. I don’t know what the Crown Prince is thinking. He doesn’t even want his daughter!”
“What do you know? The more powerful a man is, the higher his standards are. Besides, she came to me herself. Don’t all men want to get something the more they can’t get it? What’s there to cherish?”
Bo Cixue’s heart turned cold when she heard the socialites’ discussion.
He did not come and she believed that something must have happened.
He was not the person they said he was.
Besides, he had always respected her during their relationship and had never overstepped his boundaries.
If he had not agreed to the engagement, he would not have agreed.
Even if he did not really love her, he would not embarrass her on such an important occasion.
Bo Cixue clenched her fists and coughed with a straight face.
When the socialites heard the sound and turned around to see Bo Cixue, they were frightened and dispersed.
Bo Cixue entered the dressing room.
She took out her phone from her bag and called Ye Jie.
Her phone was turned off.
Bo Cixue held her phone tightly, wanting to call Ah Zuo, but she could not press the button.
Nan Xun and Tang Wu went to the dressing room to accompany Bo Cixue.
Like Bo Cixue, they did not believe that Ye Jie would do such a thing.
“He must have been delayed by something. He will come.”
Ye Qingcheng went to the washroom. When she came out, Bo Cixue and the rest were no longer in the banquet hall.
She saw that everyone was standing in groups and discussing something. She walked to the corner and listened carefully.
It turned out that the Crown Prince had not come yet and everyone thought that he was going to cancel the engagement.
“Next time, you must remember not to take too much initiative, or you will end up like Miss Bo.”
“It’s really embarrassing. How can Miss Bo raise her head in the capital in the future?”
“It’s worth it. After all, she almost became the Princess Consort.”
Several socialites covered their mouths and laughed softly.
Ye Qingcheng threw a glass of wine over. The dresses of the three socialites were not spared and they were stained with some red wine.
The three socialites jumped up and glared at Ye Qingcheng, who had thrown wine at them.
