Didn’t he already give an answer?

  He had not looked for her this morning. He only came to tell her the answer when she arrived at town!

  Did he think she was so easy to fool?

  Bo Cixue did not want to recall the feeling of being rejected because it was really uncomfortable.

  She did not look at him and turned her face towards the car window. “I already know your answer. You don’t have to say it again!”


  Without waiting for him to say anything, she said quickly, “Just treat it as if I never came here. Anyway, I’m going to work in a few days. Just treat it as though I traveled here to experience the hardships of the world!”


  “I’ll work hard at the research institute in the future to benefit the people. Even if I earn money, I’ll do more good deeds and help people who need help!”


  Ye Jie looked at the back of Bo Cixue’s head and pursed his lips when he heard her slightly cold voice. “Turn around and look at me.”


  “You want me to turn around? I’m not going to.” As soon as the words came out, she wanted to seal her mouth.

  This was too childish!

  Bo Cixue turned around with a frown and met his eyes.

  Looking at her pretending to be calm, he lifted his lips and a faint smile appeared in his dark eyes. “Did you get up very early?”


  Bo Cixue clasped her hands on her knees and tried to suppress her emotions. “I don’t really want to talk to you about this now.”


  He narrowed his cold black eyes slightly and gave a faint smile. “I thought about it for a long time after you returned to your room last night. I wanted to tell you the other time that we should try, but it backfired and made our relationship worse. I’m already very sorry.”


  “You’re right. I’m indeed worried that I won’t be able to give you happiness, but I’ll also hold you back. Our relationship is different from others. Our parents are old friends, so I don’t want to create animosity between us.”


  “When I saw you appear yesterday, I was more shocked than anything else. Cixue, thank you for giving me a chance to save myself. I don’t want to let you go like this.”


  Bo Cixue widened her eyes and looked at him.

  A layer of bright tears gathered in her eyes uncontrollably.

  She looked at the man in front of her with trembling lips and covered her mouth with her hands.

  After a while, she said, “Then… why didn’t you come and find me this morning?”


  Ye Jie told her what had happened last night.

  Bo Cixue saw that there was still dust on his face and that there was a hole in his clothes. She then understood that he had not rejected her, but had not had time to tell her his answer.

  After thinking that she had been rejected that morning, she rode to town and did not shed a tear.

  But now, in front of him, hot tears could not help but fall.

  He raised his long fingers and wiped the tears on her face. “Foolish girl, why are you crying?”


  Bo Cixue did not know why she was crying.

  She had finally gotten a response after years of single-sided adoration.

  Although she did not know what would happen in the future, at least they had made good progress.

  Bo Cixue closed her eyes and let his fingers wipe the hot tears on her face.

  Her mind seemed to have burst into fireworks. A beam of light rose and then exploded into countless small flowers.

  She was no longer a clown acting alone.

  Bo Cixue opened her eyes after a while and looked at him without saying anything. She picked up his hand that was wiping her tears and bit his wrist hard.

  Ye Jie’s muscles tensed up and blood flowed from the place he was bitten, but he did not push it away.

  After she relented, he pulled her into his arms.

  …


  Ye Jie drove back to his house in town.

  He carried Bo Cixue’s luggage into the room and caressed her head. “I’ll go take a bath first. Ah Zuo will bring you breakfast later. I heard from the auntie that you ate very little this morning.”


  Bo Cixue hugged his arm and looked at him with bright eyes. “Pinch me. I feel like I’m dreaming!”


  He really pinched her.

  She jumped and shouted, “Ouch, it hurts. Why don’t you treat women nicely?”


  He raised his eyebrows, a smile in his dark eyes. “So, I’m not as perfect as you think I am.”


  Bo Cixue pouted. “Me too.”


  With that said, she reached a hand out to him. “Mr Ye, please take care of me in the future.”


  Ye Jie held her slender fingers and smiled. “Don’t climb trees in the future. It’s dangerous.”


  Bo Cixue let go of his hand and pretended to dig her ear. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”


  Ye Jie did not expect her to be so smart and interesting in private.

  …


  After Ye Jie went to take a bath, Bo Cixue turned on her phone.

  She announced her latest development in her best friends’ chat.

  After finding out that she had succeeded, Nan Xun and Tang Wu sent voice messages to congratulate her.

  The two women took the opportunity to rob her.

  Nan Xun: “Red packet.”


  Tang Wu: “If there’s no rain of red packets today, I should get a beautiful photo of the Crown Prince at the very least!”


  Without another word, Bo Cixue sent ten red packets worth two hundred dollars in the group.

  Nan Xun and Tang Wu were fighting over them happily.

  After they were done, the two of them sent various blessings.

  Bo Cixue accepted them joyfully.

  …


  Ye Jie came out of the shower and changed into a clean white collared shirt.

  Bo Cixue was sitting on the chair looking at her phone and did not notice him coming out.

  He walked over and looked down at her.

  Feeling the fresh and clean masculine scent, Bo Cixue looked up and met his dark eyes. “I told Nan Xun and Tang Wu about our current relationship, but I don’t plan to tell my parents, the Queen, and the King for the time being.”


  Ye Jie nodded. “Sure.”


  Bo Cixue stood up from the chair and hugged his thin waist, burying her face in his arms.

  He wrapped one hand around her slender waist and pinched her. “Cixue, you’re too thin.”


  Bo Cixue raised her bright eyes and snorted. “We’ve just gotten together and you’re already despising me.”


  “Eat more in the future.”


  “I don’t want to. You won’t be able to carry me if I get fat.”


  A smile appeared in his dark eyes. “I can carry you no matter how fat you get.”


  “Then hug me and spin ten rounds.”


  Bo Cixue had just finished speaking when her feet left the ground. The man held her waist with one hand and started to spin on the spot.

  Bo Cixue wrapped her hands around his neck. Although she started to feel dizzy after spinning a few times, she couldn’t help but smile …


  Ah Zuo brought breakfast over.

  The door was not closed tightly. He was about to knock when he heard a woman’s crisp and pleasant laughter coming from inside.

  Ah Zuo really did not want to peek, but he was too curious.

  Why was Miss Bo so happy?

  Ah Zuo glanced inside carefully.

  He was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.

  Was the man who carried Miss Bo in circles really the Crown Prince who was usually serious and daunting?

  Why… would he have such a childish side?

  When Bo Cixue was carried around by Ye Jie, she rubbed her head against his chin. “I can’t take it anymore, I’m so dizzy…”
