  Bo Cixue decided not to discuss this with him.

  She jogged to the kitchen, washed her hands, and brought out the noodles he had made.

  Sitting at the dining table, Bo Cixue glanced at the man walking over. “Aren’t you eating?”


  “I ate tonight.”


  Bo Cixue tasted it and nodded. “It’s very delicious!”


  Looking at her satisfied expression, his dark eyes were filled with affection and gentleness.

  Bo Cixue took a few bites and looked up. Seeing that he was looking at her, she picked up some noodles. “You made it yourself. Do you want to try it?”


  The moment she said it, she regretted it.

  How could she forget that he was a clean freak? How could he eat what others had eaten?

  Bo Cixue buried her head and was about to eat it herself when she heard him say softly, “Okay.”


  He sat beside her and looking at her dazed expression, he lowered his head and ate the noodles she had picked up.

  Bo Cixue’s fair face was red.

  …


  After taking a bath, Bo Cixue leaned against the bed in his shirt and read a book.

  Ye Jie came out of the bathroom, his soft black hair still slightly wet. The man who was usually noble and cold was now exuding a masculine and sexy aura.

  He glanced at the girl on the bed and a faint smile flashed past his eyes. “Cixue.”


  Bo Cixue looked up at him. “Hm?”


  “You’re holding it upside down.”


  Bo Cixue was speechless. Why did he have to say something even if he could see through it?

  Bo Cixue put down the book and buried her head in the blanket, ignoring him.

  Although she had buried her head in the blanket, she could hear everything around her clearly.

  He went out of the room and came in again after a while.

  He turned off the lights in the room and soon, the side of the bed sank slightly.

  He approached her and hugged her from behind.

  She froze.

  He chuckled softly, “Don’t be afraid. I don’t want to get my legs broken by Uncle Bo yet.”


  …


  Bo Cixue did not know when she fell asleep. In her daze, she heard sounds from outside and opened her eyes.

  The man who had hugged her to sleep last night had woken up.

  Bo Cixue rubbed her eyes and walked toward the living room.

  “Brother Xiaojie, why are you up so early…”


  Before she could finish, the sleepiness in Bo Cixue’s mind dissipated when she saw the person walking out of the kitchen.

  Bo Cixue widened her eyes. “Auntie Nan Zhi…”


  Nan Zhi was also shocked. Looking at the girl who was wearing a man’s shirt, her hair slightly messy and sleepy eyes, Nan Zhi blinked. “Little Apple?”


  Bo Cixue was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hummed uncomfortably.

  Just then, Ye Jie, who had gone out to buy something, returned.

  Seeing the two shocked people looking at each other in the living room, Ye Jie put down his things and walked toward Bo Cixue.

  “Why aren’t you wearing your slippers?” With that said, he picked her up and walked toward the bedroom.

  Bo Cixue’s fair face was so red that it looked as though it could bleed at any moment. After he placed her on the bed, she looked at the man who was wearing a white leisure outfit and did not look panicked at all. “Why didn’t you tell me that your mother would come?”


  Ye Jie pursed his lips slightly. “I went out to buy something. I didn’t know either.”


  Bo Cixue wanted to say more, but Nan Zhi called Ye Jie outside.

  Ye Jie patted Bo Cixue’s head lightly. “I’ll go out and tell my mother about the situation.”


  Bo Cixue covered her red face with her hands, her mind boiling like boiling water.

  Bo Cixue went to the bathroom to wash up as quickly as possible, changed into her own clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

  Ye Jie and Nan Zhi stood on the balcony of the living room. The door was closed and they could not hear what the mother and son were talking about.

  But Auntie Nan Zhi did not look good. She seemed to have said something and raised her hand, hitting Ye Jie’s arm several times.

  Ye Jie pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, looking like he was obediently getting scolded.

  Bo Cixue walked over and knocked lightly on the glass door.

  Nan Zhi saw Bo Cixue and opened the door. “Little Apple, did he bully you last night? Don’t worry, I will definitely stand up for you.”


  Bo Cixue quickly waved her hands. “No, Brother Xiaojie didn’t bully me last night. Besides… I wanted to stay.”


  Nan Zhi froze. “Little Apple, it’s not your fault. It’s all his fault. He hurt you again and again. I’m going to kill this brat today…”


  In her hurry, Bo Cixue blurted out, “Brother Xiaojie and I are dating. He didn’t hurt me…”


  Ye Jie looked at Nan Zhi and smiled. “Mom, the girl I said I liked the other time is Cixue.”


  Nan Zhi was speechless. This was too much information. She needed to take a break.

  However, it was a good thing that she had experienced all kinds of hardships and was more sensitive than most people. Besides, she had always hoped that Little Apple would have a good ending with her eldest son. Now that her wish was fulfilled, why would she break them up?

  “But, do your Uncle and Auntie Yan know about this?”


  Ye Jie shook his head. “Not yet.”


  Nan Zhi patted Ye Jie’s shoulder. “Their impression of you is already very bad. You have to tell them personally about this. Even if they don’t accept you, your father and I won’t help you.”


  “You didn’t cherish so many opportunities in the past, so you’re reaping what you sow!”


  Ye Jie was speechless. Was she still his biological mother?

  After Nan Zhi left in a good mood, Bo Cixue let out a long sigh of relief.

  She was so nervous that she felt as though she was going to have a heart attack!

  …


  At the end of September.

  The Bo family was going to the mountains to sweep the tombs.

  Bo Cixue and her family woke up very early and went to visit the grave together with Bo Qiange’s family.

  The two families were going to stay in the village for a night before they went to sweep the grave the next day.

  The mansion was guarded all year round. When the two families arrived, the servants had already prepared dinner.

  Just as she was about to eat, Bo Cixue received a call from Ye Jie.

  “Are you back from your overseas visit? I’m at the ancestral mansion. I’ll be cleaning the ancestral graves tomorrow. I’ll decide on a time to meet my parents when I’m back!”


  Ever since she saw Auntie Nan Zhi at his apartment, Bo Cixue did not plan to hide their relationship anymore. However, the two of them had not found the right time to confess to her family.

  “I’m at the entrance of your old mansion.”


  Bo Cixue’s mind went blank for a few seconds before she regained her senses and hurried out.

  “Little Apple, it’s almost time to eat. Where are you going?”


  “Mom, I’m going out for a while. I’ll be right back.”


  Bo Cixue ran out of the house and was surprised to see the man standing in the yard in a suit. “Why are you here?”


  “I’m planning to visit the graves with you tomorrow.”


  Bo Cixue said, “Are you going to see my parents now?”


  He hummed softly.

  He looked calm but she was nervous.

  It was his first time coming as a boyfriend. This feeling was really amazing!
