Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Ye Jie’s words, Bo Cixue’s fair and beautiful face was expressionless.
His quiet and calm appearance was unfamiliar to him.
It shouldn’t be like this!
Bo Cixue’s gaze landed on his shirt collar and she said coldly, “Brother Xiaojie, there’s nothing between us anymore. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to say this.”
She looked up slightly and stared into his deep dark eyes. “Besides, I don’t like it.”
‘There were not many emotions on her face. She did not hate or like him and only said simply, “I did not understand your feelings in the past. It turns out that when you’re pestered by someone and you don’t like it, you feel like this.”
The moment she finished speaking, his dark pupils constricted.
His hands on the top of her head clenched into fists and he looked at her in disbelief.
His cold expression did not look good and the oppressive aura on him was suffocating.
He pursed his lips tightly, his low and cold voice coming from his throat. “Cixue, I know you’re still angry about the engagement party. It’s my fault. I’ll show you my sincerity.”
Bo Cixue felt that she was talking nonsense.
Did she not express herself clearly enough?
She did not like him anymore and had no feelings for him. Thinking of the past, she felt less heartbroken.
She wanted to start a new life and make different friends!
“Tm not angry anymore! I said that I understood your situation at that time. I’m not angry with you. I really want to start a new life.”
Ye Jie looked down at Bo Cixue, who looked serious when she said this. He stared into her eyes, wanting to see if she was lying, but there was none.
The two of them stared at each other for nearly a minute. Bo Cixue could not stand his oppressive gaze and strong aura. She lowered her thick and long eyelashes. “Brother Xiaojie, let go of me. Caesar is still waiting for me.”
“Is he very important?” There was a trace of mockery in his low and cold voice.
Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows. “To be honest, I can’t believe Brother Xiaojie did it. It’s really childish.”
Ye Jie’s handsome jaw tensed.
‘The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.
Bo Cixue’s phone rang. It was Caesar. Bo Cixue was about to answer the call when her chin was suddenly pinched by someone’s long and cold fingers. Before Bo Cixue could react, the man in front of her lowered his head and his cold lips landed on her lips.
Acold breath entered her nose and Bo Cixue looked up at the man in front of her in a daze. His large palm grabbed the back of her head and his eyes were as dark as ink.
Bo Cixue pushed him away without thinking.
He was about to go forward again when he saw her raising the back of her hand and wiping her lips.
She did not look at him again and ran away quickly.
Ye Jie froze on the spot, the scene of her raising her hand kept appearing in his mind.
It was as if there was something dirty on it.
Her heart curled up and a sharp pain spread from the bottom of her heart, followed by a sense of helplessness she had never felt before.
She had liked him for so many years and had never gotten a response from him since she was young. He did not know how she had persevered.
Now, he vaguely understood what kind of torture and pain it was to not be loved!
Bo Cixue walked to the lobby of the western restaurant, her face tense. Caesar saw that Bo Cixue did not look too good and walked to her side, asking with concern, “Cixue, what’s wrong?”
Bo Cixue naturally would not tell Caesar that she had been kissed forcefully just now. She shook her head. “I met an unreasonable person. Are you done?”
“Yes. Did that person do anything to you?”
“No, but I want to go back.”
“Then I’ll go back to the hotel. Let’s meet again next time.”
“Okay.”
Bo Cixue sent Caesar back to the hotel before she drove home.
On the way back, the words Ye Jie had said to her appeared in her mind.
Did he start to care about her again when she did not like him?
But it was too late. Her heart was as still as water when she approached him and kissed him!
Bo Cixue took out her phone, opened the WeChat dialog box with Ye Jie, and entered a line of words.
“Lhope you won’t do such a rude thing again. I’ve liked you for many years and have never been rude to you. I hope you can respect me.”
After sending the message, she threw her phone aside.
At night.
Ye Jie returned to the palace and entered the study without eating dinner.
Nan Zhi came back from outside and found out that Ye Jie had not eaten. She made some food and went upstairs to call Ye Jie.
Ye Jie was sitting behind the desk reading when he heard a knock on the door and said in a low voice, “Come in.”
Nan Zhi pushed the door open and went in.
“Theard that you came up without eating dinner?”
Nan Zhi met up with Yan Hua, Yanran and the rest in the afternoon and talked about the children. From Huahua’s words, Little Apple did not plan to turn back anymore and she was unusually determined this time.
He heard that she had recently befriended a young overseas man with a good family background, appearance, and character.
Yan Hua wanted the adults to stop matchmaking the two children.
Little Apple was already riddled with holes. She had finally been reborn and did not want her to be hurt again.
As for Ye Jie, as the Crown Prince and the future King, there would be an endless stream of women who liked him, unless they were as unforgettable as his father was to Nan Zhi.
His feelings for Little Apple might be liking or loving, but it was not to the point where he only wanted her!
Nan Zhi understood Yan Hua’s worries and concerns. After the engagement party, Nan Zhi did not force her anymore.
The two children were not fated to be together!
“Not really.” Ye Jie saw that Nan Zhi was slightly distracted and there was a trace of pity in her eyes. He smirked. “Mom, what are you thinking about?”
Nan Zhi looked at Ye Jie’s thin face and could not help reaching out to touch his head like she did when he was young. There was softness and love in her heart. “Mom is thinking that time flies. In the blink of an eye, you, Little Apple, have grown up.”
Nan Zhi had taken good care of herself and her face was still beautiful. After becoming the Queen, she had a dignified aura on her. Ye Jie smiled faintly. “I’ve worried you recently. Do you want to tell me about Little Apple?”
He was very smart and could not hide anything from him.
Nan Zhi sighed slightly. “When you were young, I thought that it would be good if you could become a family in the future. I forgot that you had your own thoughts when you grew up. I shouldn’t have tied you together back then. Little Apple suffered and made you unhappy.”
“Mom, I admit that I hated relationships that were tied together when I was young, but…”
