  Bo Cixue looked at Ye Yiren in amusement, not knowing why the latter thought she could lecture her.

  It was not her place to interfere in the matters between Ye Jie and her!

  Bo Cixue stirred the coffee in the cup, her smile still on her lips, looking lazy. “Miss Ye, you should call me Miss Bo. After all, we’re not that close, are we? Also, if you care about the Crown Prince, why don’t you care about him in person? Why come to me?”


  Ye Yiren looked at Bo Cixue’s exquisite face. When Bo Cixue was still a teenager, the former knew that she would definitely be able to dominate the scene when she grew up.

  Now that her facial features were no longer childish and tender, she was beautiful and pure like a snow lotus on a mountain. Indeed, a glance at her was enough to move people.

  She could feel that Bo Cixue had never liked her. Of course, she treated her as a love rival. It would be strange if Bo Cixue treated her well.

  Ye Yiren only treated Bo Cixue as a little girl and said with a smile, “Sister Cixue, you don’t have to be like a hedgehog. I don’t mean any harm.”


  Was that so? Why would she come and tell his girlfriend that then?

  Bo Cixue did not believe it.

  “Sister Cixue, I admire you for being so young and energetic, and being able to face any difficulties you encounter. If I had half of your passion back then, I wouldn’t have separated from him.”


  “He’s too cold and is a workaholic. I’m like him too, and that’s why we spent very little time together.” Ye Yiren took a sip of coffee and sighed. “Since you’re dating him, you must know that he’s dedicated to his work, right? He doesn’t know anything about romantic relationships. However, you can’t say that he’s completely dense.”


  “He took me to his high school school and brought me through alleys on his bicycle. We ate snacks together and he even designed a robot for me…” Ye Yiren seemed to have realized that she had said something and stopped. “Let’s not talk about this. It’s all in the past. I asked you out this time because I wanted you to give him some space.”


  “You’re still young and you’re emotional, but he’s different. He has a very heavy responsibility on his shoulders. In the past ten days, I saw him smoking after finishing his work at night, looking like he was troubled. As a friend, I’m very worried about his health.”


  “You can’t destroy a good prince who is loyal to the people because of your stubbornness.”


  Tsk, tsk!

  Miss Ye was actually accusing her of such a huge matter!

  Could she destroy a good prince who was dedicated to the people?

  The other saying so much was definitely referring to her being crazy in love!

  Bo Cixue was really impressed. How did Ye Yiren know that Ye Jie had lost his private space because he was in a relationship with her and had even been affected by her?

  Bo Cixue’s heart was in turmoil, but she still maintained a lazy and unconcerned smile on her face. “Miss Ye, I’m from S Country. I grew up with him and I care more about him than you do.”


  “As for what you said, you must know that I didn’t look for him when you worked with him. I definitely gave him enough private space.”


  “If you think that he smoked because of me, it means that he cares about me a lot. Since you said that it’s all in the past, why did you come and tell me this? You probably wanted to find out about how things between us have developed.”


  “I’m in the midst of a passionate relationship with him. I’ll learn from your experience of separating from him and be with him.”


  Bo Cixue took out two notes from her wallet and put them on the table. “This is my home ground after all. I’ll treat Miss Ye to this coffee.”


  Bo Cixue stood up from her seat.

  Ye Yiren sat still and looked at Bo Cixue’s back, saying casually, “Do you know his secret?”


  Bo Cixue froze.

  Ye Yiren stood up with her bag and walked past Bo Cixue.

  Bo Cixue opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Ye Yiren say slowly, “What a poor thing.”


  There were countless retorts in Bo Cixue’s heart but she was immediately speechless because of those words.

  Ye Yiren left with a smile.

  Bo Cixue sat back down.

  It was as if there were countless sharp needles stabbing her heart and she started to bleed immediately.

  She never knew that Ye Yiren could knock down the city walls with just one sentence.

  She held her forehead with both hands, slowly waiting for the pain in her heart to dissipate.

  Bo Cixue had to admit that she had lost terribly in this round!

  That pain pierced into her flesh, but she could not see the wound.

  Only the pain inside kept reminding her.

  She was indeed different from Ye Yiren in his heart.

  …


  After Ye Jie finished his work in the afternoon, he called Tang Mo.

  Tang Mo was playing golf with several young men. Seeing that Ye Jie was hesitating on the other end of the call, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Is there anything else that can make the Crown Prince embarrassed?”


  “Are you afraid that Bo Cixue will laugh at you and want to learn that from me?”


  If Tang Mo was beside him, Ye Jie would have kicked him.

  What was in his head all day long?

  “How do you coax a girl to make her happy?”


  Tang Mo reacted and laughed out loud. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. To think you would have this day too.”


  Although Tang Mo was married, he acted like he was not. After the wedding, he had always been outside and had not entered his wedding room. He had not returned to the villa Old Master Tang had given him and Nan Xun for their marriage.

  “Bo Cixue doesn’t lack anything. What she needs the most is your sincerity and some small details. Girls are actually very easy to coax. I suggest you take her to the school you went to before and bring her to the dormitory you lived in to have hotpot. The two of you can stroll around the school or you can ride a bicycle with her. I’m sure she will like it.”


  Ye Jie narrowed his eyes slightly. “Don’t you think it’s childish?”


  “Childish? Do you think that she will be very happy if you take her to a high-end restaurant for a Western meal or to watch a musical? Which one of these is not easy for her? If you want to humor her, you have to try something new.”


  Ye Jie pursed his scarlet lips, thinking that what Tang Mo said made sense.

  “I understand.”


  …


  When Bo Cixue got off work, she received a call from Ye Jie.

  “I asked Ah Zuo to pick you up.”


  Bo Cixue went downstairs and saw Ah Zuo. She got into the car with a faint smile on her face. She was not as warm as usual but was not as cold as when she went to the office the other time.

  Bo Cixue did not know where Ah Zuo was taking her. She did not ask him about it. She had to admit that her meeting with Ye Yiren in the afternoon had affected her mood.

  Ah Zuo drove to the entrance of an elite school.

  Bo Cixue was a little surprised. “This place…” Wasn’t this where Brother Xiaojie went to high school?
