“I thought this coat looked pretty when I was shopping. I’ll give it to you.”


  Sikong Ling looked at Bo Cixue, who handed him the coat, and his eyes turned red.

  He knew that she only treated him as a friend.

  Taking him for a ride, letting him vent his emotions and giving him a coat.

  She was doing this as merely a friend.

  He also knew very well that he was not treated as a traitor because he had her trust.

  After coming out of the forest, the close friends of the Sikong family avoided him like he was a ferocious beast, afraid that he would implicate them.

  She was the only one who treated him as usual.

  With what had happened to the Sikong family, it was impossible for them to be together in this lifetime.

  The royal family had sent a new mayor to Beicang. Although they had given him the position of Deputy Mayor, he understood that the royal family would not give their power to the son of a traitor.

  But they would not pursue his liability.

  This was the best ending possible for him.

  However…


  Sikong Ling looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He knew that he would never be with her in this life.

  As the daughter of General Bo, the Bo family and the royal family would not hand her over to the Sikong family.

  Bo Cixue looked at Sikong Ling, whose eyes were filled with tears after he took the coat. She probably guessed his thoughts and felt a lump in her throat. She opened her hands and smiled at him. “You will meet a better girl in the future.”


  Sikong Ling raised his hand and hugged Bo Cixue tightly.

  He buried his tear-filled face in her shoulder, his voice choked. “After returning to Beicang, I’ll help the new mayor and take good care of Beicang, not letting the royal family worry anymore.”


  This was his promise to the royal family and to her.

  This outstanding girl had made him understand love, and also the sense of responsibility and responsibility besides love.

  Bo Cixue looked at the young man who had grown up in such a short time. She hugged him and gently patted his thin back. “I believe in you. Come on, we’ll be friends forever.”


  …


  Seeing the couple hugging each other, Ah Zuo could not help but glance at the man sitting behind.

  There was no emotion on his face, but his dark eyes looking out of the window were slightly deep.

  He took out a cigarette and lighter.

  He was busy with work and did not rest at all, but he was extremely self-disciplined.

  No matter how stressful he was, he would not be an alcoholic.

  When he was upset, he would mostly eat mint candy. He barely smoked.

  But this time, he lowered his eyes and lit the cigarette.

  He only smoked for a period of time.

  But after that period, he had been in a state of abstinence.

  He looked out of the window again through the smoke.

  His eyes were cold and dark.

  After smoking one cigarette, he instructed lightly, “Let’s go back to the office.”


  The car turned.

  The atmosphere in the car became even colder and quieter.

  Ah Zuo and Ah You glanced at the man in the back row. They all understood him a little.

  He might not really be happy when he smiled, and might not really be angry when he was angry.

  However, he was really angry from the way he puffed and looked.

  Anger meant… that the people by his side would suffer.

  Ah Zuo tried to explain, “Your Highness, what you saw might not be the truth…”


  Before Ah Zuo could finish, the man’s cold eyes swept towards him. “Run a check on everything she’s done from primary school to high school.”


  Ah Zuo and Ah You glanced at each other.

  Before Ah Zuo could say anything, he heard the man say coldly, “Everything?”


  Ah Zuo nodded. “Yes, yes. Not only what the public knows, but also what Miss Bo is hiding.”


  Ye Jie said nothing more, put out the cigarette, and pressed his slender fingers between his eyebrows.

  The car was already driving away and the two figures hugging each other gradually disappeared from their sight.

  …


  Chu Li still went to the hospital to visit Lan Nuo in the afternoon.

  Lan Nuo was sick and needed a large sum of money. Ye Jie had already paid for Lan Yue’s treatment.

  Lan Yue did not want to owe anyone anything, but he could not take out so much money and insisted on writing a promissory note for Ye Jie.

  Lan Yue was looking for a job while taking care of Lan Nuo recently.

  However, he had lived in the primitive tribe for many years and after leaving that place, he could not find a suitable job in the modern and bustling city.

  He went to work on the construction site.

  When Chu Li saw Lan Yue, he rushed to the hospital.

  Dressed in a gray uniform, he looked out of place with the people in the Royal Hospital.

  Chu Li felt a strange gaze on her. She frowned, hid the anger in her eyes, and took Lan Yue to a secluded place.

  Lan Yue was tall and thin, his eyes dark and bright. Although he was wearing a gray uniform, his face was unusually handsome and clean.

  He was younger than Chu Li, but his personality was more reserved and steady compared to others his age.

  He followed Chu Li to the corner and looked at Chu Li with his bright black eyes. His eyelashes were very long and when he was looking down, there was a faint shadow on his face.

  Chu Li looked at his face and was in a daze.

  Even though she was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and even met the Crown Prince not too long ago, she had to admit that Lan Yue had a handsome face that looked like it was meticulously drawn by a master painter. His facial features had sharp edges but were not too firm. He had a tall nose and pink lips that were prettier than those young hunks in the entertainment industry.

  If he was discovered by a star scout, he would definitely have many fans based on his face and figure alone, even if he knew nothing.

  The image of the Crown Prince appeared in Chu Li’s mind. He was so noble and untainted from head to toe.

  Looking at Lan Yue now, she had forgotten how well he had treated her in the tribe when she lost her memories. She felt that his face was not good looking as he was covered in dirt.

  Chu Li did not show his emotions on her face. She took out a bank card from her luxurious bag.

  “Lan Yue, there’s some money here. Take it and treat Lan Nuo. You don’t have to work at the construction site anymore. I’ll find a school for you and you can learn some skills.”


  Lan Yue frowned and did not take the bank card from Chu Li.

  “I can earn my own keep,” he said coldly.

  Of course, Chu Li knew that he was stubborn. He had been like that when he was in the tribe too. He had heard that the people in the tribe did not want an outsider like him to be the leader, so he used his own ability to win them over bit by bit.

  But now that he was out of the tribe, what else did he have apart from this face?

  Chu Li wanted to break up with him, but thinking of what Ye Jie had said at the western restaurant, it seemed a little too realistic and heartless for her to break up so quickly.

  She should slowly start to ignore him!

  “I’m going to the royal translation department for an interview. If I’m accepted successfully, I might be very busy.”


  Lan Yue pursed her pink lips slightly. “I won’t disturb you.”


  Chu Li hummed. “I have something on. I’ll leave first.”


  Chu Li left without turning back. Lan Yue only turned and went upstairs after she disappeared.

  There was sweat on her forehead and it fell to her lips bitterly.

  …


  In the evening, Lan Yue was informed by the nurse that someone was looking for him in the outpatient department.

  He went downstairs and saw a young but well-dressed girl.

  The girl walked over arrogantly. “You’re Lan Yue, my sister’s boyfriend? Oh, I’m Chu Xi. My sister is Chu Li.”


  Lan Yue looked at Chu Xi with dark eyes.

  Chu Xi was stunned when he saw Lan Yue’s face, but when she saw the clothes he was wearing, she was full of contempt.

  Chu Xi pointed at the parking lot. “My sister is in the car now and her stomach is not feeling well. Help her get some food. My sister likes to eat noodles.”


  Lan Yue nodded and did not take the money Chu Xi wanted to give him.

  Chu Xi saw him running across the road.

  He was tall and thin with shoulders and a waist.

  He could be a model and the cheap construction clothes he was wearing looked different on him.

  After a while, he came back with the noodles.

  Chu Xi didn’t take it. She tilted her head and said with a fake smile, “I just sent a message to my sister. She wants to eat porridge.”


  He then went to buy porridge.

  There was sweat on his forehead and nose.

  He looked extremely seductive.

  Chu Xi looked away from his face and crossed her arms, saying with her chin slightly raised, “My sister doesn’t want to eat porridge anymore. Go buy some rice for her!”


  The man stood still.

  He could tell that she was playing him.

  “Your sister isn’t come,” he said.

  Chu Xi did not expect his voice to be so deep and pleasant to listen to. She was slightly stunned, but she reacted very quickly and threw the noodles he had bought earlier at his feet. “Yes, my sister didn’t come. I came to tell you not to think of getting out of your league. My sister is the young lady of the Chu family. Why would she like a poor fellow like you?”


  “Stop daydreaming. My sister is embarrassed to mention breaking up, but you still shamelessly cling to her?”


  Many people looked over and pointed at him.

  He seemed to have never been in such a situation and his ears were slightly red.

  Seeing that he was silent, Chu Xi snatched the porridge from him, wanting to pour it on his face.

  But before she could do it, she heard the sound of powerful high heels behind her, and then her wrist was grabbed by a slender, soft but fair hand.

  Being held by that hand, Chu Xi could not move.

  Chu Xi turned back and saw a beautiful and flamboyant face.

  Tang Wu.

  The Tang family was no worse than the Chu family. Before Lin Xiurui’s family went bankrupt, Chu Xi had a crush on Lin Xiurui. However, Tang Wu was very strict with Lin Xiurui and it was extremely difficult for her to meet Lin Xiurui in private.

  What Chu Xi did not know was that Tang Wu had not been strict with Lin Xiurui, but that Lin Xiurui had been very clingy to Tang Wu.

  Although Chu Xi did not like Lin Xiurui anymore, she still did not like Tang Wu.

  This woman was willful, ostentatious, and charming.

  “Tang Wu, what are you doing?”


  Tang Wu said nothing. She took the porridge from Chu Xi’s hand and raised her wrist before he could react.

  That bowl of porridge landed on Chu Xi.

  Chu Xi widened his eyes and looked at Tang Wu in disbelief.

  After Tang Wu returned to the capital during the holidays, she had heard news of the Chu family’s young lady returning.

  She had eaten hotpot and her stomach was a little uncomfortable. She came to the hospital for a checkup and unexpectedly witnessed the scene of the second young lady of the Chu family bullying people.

  Tang Wu also heard that the young lady of the Chu family had gone to a primitive tribe in the years she was missing and had even gotten a boyfriend who was younger than her.

  He must be the one Chu Xi had just bullied!

  Tang Wu’s beautiful eyes landed on Lan Yue and after a glance, she looked at Chu Xi. “Oh, I’ve dirtied your clothes. Didn’t you want that limited edition high-end dress from the autumn and winter fashion week in Paris? I’m sorry to have bought it at that time, but the clothes you’re wearing are a little cheap. Why don’t I compensate you with that set?”
