Bo Yan had always doted on Bo Cixue but had never touched her since she was young, nor could he bear to say anything mean to her.

  But at this moment, his expression was rather cold.

  Bo Cixue touched her nose, not daring to look at General Bo’s eyes.

  She knew that General Bo must be very angry for taking the liberty to run into the dangerous forest without discussing it with her family.

  Bo Cixue walked in front of Bo Yan, crouched down and gently shook his arm.

  “Dad, are you angry?”


  When she acted coquettish, her voice was extremely sweet and soft.

  Bo Yan clenched his jaw and said nothing.

  Although Bo Yan was now middle-aged, he did not lack any charm. He was tall and slim, his face handsome and sharp.

  It was rare for him to scold his daughter.

  Sigh, he was really angry!

  “Dad, aren’t I fine now?”


  “General Bo, I’ll cry if you continue to ignore me.”


  Her thick black eyelashes fluttered and she looked like she was really going to cry.

  Bo Yan looked at his daughter’s red eyes and sighed. He curled his finger and knocked her head. “You hid such an important thing from your mother and me!”


  “If anything happens to you, your mom will fight me to death.”


  Bo Cixue hugged Bo Yan’s arm and pouted. “I know I was wrong.”


  Bo Cixue understood Bo Yan’s personality. If she were to argue with him in this situation, she would suffer a very bad ending!

  Bo Yan’s fierce expression eased a little. Looking at Bo Cixue’s thin and haggard face, he could not bear to reprimand her.

  “I’ve prepared a helicopter and you’ll return to the capital later. Your mother already knows about this, so you should go back and explain it to her.”


  Bo Cixue’s eyelids jumped.

  “Dad, why did you tell Mom…”


  “Your mom hasn’t been able to contact you for several days. Do you think I can hide it from her?”


  Bo Cixue was speechless.

  That afternoon, Bo Cixue was sent back to the capital by Bo Yan’s men.

  …


  After returning to the capital, Bo Cixue saw her mother crying before she could say anything to Yan Hua.

  Bo Cixue felt a little sad.

  She had indeed not considered her family’s feelings.

  “Mom, I won’t be like that anymore. Don’t cry. I’ll be obedient in the future.”


  Bo Jingyu muttered softly, “Of course not.”


  Bo Cixue glared at Bo Jingyu secretly.

  This brat was getting better at undermining his sister!

  Yan Hua cried for a while before she stopped and pulled Bo Cixue to her side. She did not hit or scold her, but asked with a choked voice, “Little Apple, do you still like Xiaojie?”


  “Mom, don’t you think that question’s unnecessary? If my sister doesn’t like him, why would she have take such a risk?”


  Bo Cixue threw the bolster at Bo Jingyu. “Brat, go back to your room.”


  Bo Cixue held Yan Hua’s hand and said softly, “Mom, you’re thinking too much. I didn’t do it because of Brother Xiaojie. I did it because of Sikong Ling, the royal family, and the Sikong family…”


  Bo Cixue told Yan Hua what had happened after she went to Beicang.

  Hearing this, Yan Hua grabbed Bo Cixue’s hand tightly. “You’re getting bolder. Don’t do that again.”


  “Mm, I’ll listen to you.”


  …


  Seeing that Bo Cixue had lost weight, Yan Hua stopped her from running around.

  Bo Cixue knew that her mother had been frightened this time and stayed at home for a week.

  Yan Hua thought of ways to make delicious nourishing food for her every day, and Bo Cixue quickly gained the few kilograms she had lost in the forest back.

  It was a good thing that she was on the slimmer side. If not, she would have gotten fat after sleeping and eating every day.

  She had not contacted Ye Jie during this period.

  Instead, Sikong Ling had sent her a few messages.

  In them, he said that Ye Jie had not make things difficult for him, and he would return to the capital with Ye Jie to see the King and Queen in two days.

  On the 8th day, Bo Cixue felt that she was going to be bored to death if she didn’t get out of the house.

  Fortunately, Tang Wu had returned to the capital.

  She asked Bo Cixue out on a shopping trip.

  The Tang family was one of the prestigious families in the capital. Yan Hua knew Tang Wu and asked the two of them to go out when she saw Tang Wu coming to fetch Bo Cixue.

  She was exquisite and beautiful with her brown curly hair and she gave off an aura that was a mix between a girl and a woman’s.

  The two friends arrived at a high-end mall.

  The two different but equally dazzling girls attracted countless eyes when they walked together.

  They were already used to being watched.

  Tang Wu entered a male apparel store and bought two sets of male apparel, which totaled nearly six figures.

  She then went to a branded watch shop to buy a male watch.

  Bo Cixue looked at Tang Wu and shook her head. “Aren’t you spoiling Lin Xiurui too much?”


  Lin Xiurui was Tang Wu’s boyfriend. The two of them were childhood sweethearts and were originally a couple with a similar family background. However, Lin Xiurui’s family went bankrupt a few years ago and Tang Wu even paid for his university fees.

  There was also his daily expenses. Although the Lin family was bankrupt, Lin Xiurui was doing well with Tang Wu’s support.

  He was doing well himself. After graduating, he started his own business and was now a small boss.

  “I was still in M Country on his birthday. I have to make it up to him this time.”


  Bo Cixue rolled her eyes. “Just let him be!”


  After they were done shopping, Tang Wu suddenly received a call from Lin Xiurui.

  “He came back from his work trip and happened to pass by. He wants to have a meal with me. Cixue, let’s go!”


  Bo Cixue waved her hand. “Forget it. I don’t want to be a third wheel.”


  “Okay, let’s talk tonight.”


  Tang Wu carried her shopping bag and walked out of the mall in her high heels.

  After a while, a car stopped at the entrance of the mall.

  Tang Wu walked to the front passenger seat and was about to pull the door open when she suddenly realized that someone was sitting there.

  And it was a young and fresh woman.

  The window wound down and the woman looked at Tang Wu with a smile. “Sister Tang Wu.”


  Tang Wu was distracted and remembered that this woman was once her follower, Meng Rui, who lived in the same neighborhood as Lin Xiurui.

  She seemed to be only 18 this year!

  She was dressed so maturely!

  “Tangtang, Ruirui worked at my company over the summer and went on a business trip with me this time.”


  Tang Wu hummed, opened the back door, and got into the car.

  Along the way, Meng Rui was talking to Lin Xiurui about work. Tang Wu could not interrupt and simply looked out of the window.

  “Wuwu, what do you want to eat later?” Lin Xiurui looked at Tang Wu with gentle eyes.

  “Anything.”


  Lin Xiurui looked at Tang Wu’s cold expression and then at Meng Rui’s playful eyes blinking at him. He pursed his lips. “Let’s have hot pot!”


  …


  Bo Cixue knew that there was a newly opened western restaurant opposite the mall. She was about to give it a go when she received a message on her phone.

  “Shall we have lunch together?”


  Bo Cixue had changed her number and had not called Ye Jie.

  However, she recognized his number immediately.

  She looked down, replying quickly, “I have an appointment.”
