He was actually cold to the core.

  Especially after what happened back then.

  Ye Yiren looked at his cold face and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. “Are you still blaming me?”


  Because he blamed her, he was so cold to her.

  Ye Jie did not intend to catch up and said expressionlessly, “Miss Ye, you’re thinking too much.”


  Ye Yiren looked at his handsome face and sighed softly. “It’s good that you don’t. Actually, I came this time to tell you about my sister.”


  Ye Jie stopped.

  Because of what happened four years ago, Ye Qingcheng fell into a vegetative state and remained unconscious.

  Even after she awoke, she still had to face many things.

  That secret had been sealed by him, but if Ye Qingcheng woke up, the secret would be exposed.

  “How is she?” When Ye Xuan came that year, he had brought Ye Qingcheng back to the country. In the past few years, Ye Jie had found many famous doctors to treat Ye Qingcheng.

  “She’s getting better.”


  Ye Jie nodded.

  “You’ve been very concerned about her illness in the past few years. Our family is very grateful to you…”


  …


  Bo Cixue and Tang Wu helped Nan Xun into the hotel room.

  Old Master Tang had given Nan Xun and Tang Mo a villa, but Tang Mo asked to have the wedding room at the hotel tonight. He did not want to go back and be watched.

  Nan Xun drank a lot at the wedding banquet and felt a little dizzy.

  Nan Xun was already in a bad mood today, but she even met the boy she used to have a crush on at the wedding.

  He was already a well-known pianist in the country. He had been invited by the Tang family to play the piano at the wedding banquet.

  The moment Nan Xun saw him, she thought of many things she had done in school.

  The night before he went abroad to study, she had sat with him to eat barbecue and drink beer.

  She had drunk a lot and was about to confess to him when she felt uncomfortable and vomited on the spot.

  That image made her feel embarrassed just thinking about it.

  But it was fortunate that she did not confess then, because when they returned to school that night, a junior confessed to him.

  He said that he had someone he liked.

  Nan Xun happened to hear what he said to the junior. Ever since then, she had cut her long hair short.

  She had kept her hair because she knew that he liked girls with long hair.

  Nan Xun thought of the past and his heart felt blocked.

  Tang Wu looked at Nan Xun’s red eyes and knew that she was feeling terrible. She said softly, “Ah Xun, we’ll stay with you here.”


  Nan Xun lay on the red wedding bed, looking at the ceiling drunkenly. “I’m fine. I woke up too early this morning and I’m a little sleepy.”


  If she did not guess wrongly, Tang Mo would not enter this room tonight.

  But it suited her! She did not want to talk to him and was not in the mood to deal with him!

  Tang Wu and Bo Cixue left the wedding room.

  They returned to the wedding banquet hall. Bo Cixue looked around but did not see Ye Jie, so she looked at the table in the corner.

  Ye Yiren had also disappeared.

  “Wuwu, I’m going to the washroom.”


  Bo Cixue went to the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She frowned slightly and pursed her lips tightly, looking uneasy.

  What was she feeling uneasy about?

  Was he so untrustworthy?

  Since she believed him, there was no point in suspecting anything.

  After adjusting herself, Bo Cixue felt a lot more relaxed.

  She walked out of the washroom and was about to return to the banquet hall when she saw Ye Jie and Ye Yiren walking over.

  Bo Cixue stood still.

  She only turned around when the two of them entered the banquet hall.

  …


  Ye Jie did not see Bo Cixue in the banquet hall and took out his phone to call her.

  Bo Cixue had already arrived outside the hotel. She had drunk and could not drive herself, so she hailed a taxi.

  Ye Jie was calling her and she looked at the phone screen in a daze.

  After the call was hung up automatically, Ye Jie made another call.

  Before long, Bo Cixue answered the call.

  “Cixue, where are you?”


  Bo Cixue supported her forehead with one hand, her voice slightly drunk. “My head hurts a little. I’m going home.”


  The person on the other end of the line paused. “The driver came to fetch you?”


  Bo Cixue hummed.

  “Have a good rest at home.”


  “Okay.”


  She lowered her eyes and hung up.

  When she returned home, Bo Cixue lay on the bed, thinking that she would not be able to sleep. However, she fell asleep the moment she touched the pillow.

  …


  After Ye Jie left the hotel, he received a call from Mu Sihan.

  Ye Jie asked Ah Zuo to send him to the office.

  Mu Sihan was having a meeting with several higher management executives of the royal family.

  Seeing Ye Jie coming over, Mu Sihan said in a deep voice, “I shouldn’t have asked you to come when you were attending Tang Mo’s wedding today. But someone in the capital has been infected with the HIP virus.”


  The HIP virus had spread all over the world three months ago, and there had never been anyone who had contracted it in S Country. This virus had spread all over the world, and until now, there had yet to be any effective drugs developed. People who contracted this virus were no different from having one foot through the gates of hell, and this virus was extremely contagious.

  Ye Jie furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “If we don’t develop effective drugs soon, the consequences will be unimaginable if the virus spreads through the country.”


  Mu Sihan nodded.

  “Now, an international medical team has been formed to research on the virus and is preparing to conduct research in the Royal Hospital. Our country has sent Chief Cheng Yan. Please invite the research team to dinner later and let everyone get to know each other.”


  “Okay.”


  …


  Ye Jie came out of the meeting room and went to the office.

  The King’s secretary gave him the name list of the research team.

  Ye Jie swept through the list and his eyes darkened when he saw the name of one of them.

  He called Ah Zuo in and handed him the name list. “Reserve a restaurant. Contact the people on the name list and inform them to have a meal together.”


  …


  The next few days, Ye Jie and Bo Cixue did not meet.

  Bo Cixue had also heard about the virus.

  She had always been clear about what she had to do. He was busy, so she naturally would not disturb his work.

  On this day, Bo Cixue received a call from Tang Wu as soon as she got off work at the research institute.

  “Sisters, do you guys want to come out for a drink? There’s a new bar on South Street. The bartender is so handsome.”


  Bo Cixue said, “You forgot Brother Lan so quickly and you’re going to find another lover?”


  Tang Wu said, “Of course not. No matter how handsome he is, he can’t compare to my Brother Lan. I’m just taking a look since he’s pleasing to the eyes.”


  Bo Cixue said, “No matter how handsome he is, he can’t compare to my boyfriend.”


  Tang Wu said, “It seems like you’re fine.”


  Bo Cixue felt that there was something in Tang Wu’s words and was about to ask her about it when Nan Xun called again.

  After informing Tang Wu, she answered Nan Xun’s call.

  “Shall we meet tonight? If there’s anything, don’t hide it in your heart and don’t think too much.”


  Bo Cixue was stunned.

  Why did she feel as though she was being kept in the dark?
