Chapter 1948: There Are Only Two Choices
Bo Cixue gave Bo Jingyu an allowance. When she looked up, she found that her brother was smiling wretchedly. She frowned in puzzlement. “What are you doing?”
Bo Jingyu felt a little guilty and deleted the photos he sent to Brother Xiaojie.
“I’m happy that Sister gave me such a large sum of money!” Then, she even laughed out loud.
Bo Cixue knocked his head lightly with the book again. “Little idiot, you’re not allowed to do anything bad, got it?”
“I understand.”
Bo Jingyu slipped out.
…
Ever since Mu Sihan became the King, he had spent many years to get the Queen’s recognition.
But it did not mean that there would be no opposition or that everyone would support the King, Mu Sihan.
Although Mu Sihan held most of the power in S Country now, he still did not control a few remote areas.
You City was one of them.
Besides, the Royal family was complicated and the civil war had never stopped.
Ye Jie was Mu Sihan’s eldest son. Ever since he was crowned as the Crown Prince, he had become Mu Sihan’s a.s.sistant with outstanding ability.
Now, Mu Sihan was slowly putting down his power and leaving him to handle many things.
Although he was in the middle of a conflict, Ye Jie held absolute power in the Royal family.
Ye Jie entered the office with his secretary, Ah Zuo, Ah You, and the rest.
Ye Jie was walking in the middle, wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and black pants, his expression cold.
Ah Zuo pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton and they entered the exclusive elevator.
The young women working in the lobby looked at the Crown Prince and his men, their hearts thumping.
“He’s too handsome. He’s so handsome that I don’t dare to take another look at him. I’m afraid my heart will explode.”
“But he’s too abstinent and calm. He always b.u.t.tons his s.h.i.+rt all the way up. I really want to see him showing a little of his chest.”
“Let’s go meet him in our dreams!”
Their Crown Prince was calm, abstinent, and restrained like a G.o.d that had come from the heavens. He was n.o.ble, elegant, and untainted. It was not something ordinary people like them could think of.
“I really want to know who will be the Crown Princess in the future.”
“I hope I can see it in my lifetime!”
…
Walking out of the elevator, Ye Jie and the rest walked toward the office.
A playful young man walked toward her.
“Yo, I was wondering who came back. So it’s the Crown Prince!”
The person who spoke was the son of the head of the city, Zhou Guoan.
He had come to attend the palace banquet a while back. After he came, he couldn’t bear to let go of the beauties from the capital.
You City was a very important city in S Country. The governor here held his own power and had given a lot of trouble to the royal family in the past few years.
Zhou Jian was usually frivolous and arrogant. He was also considered a Crown Prince in You City.
Even though Ye Jie had been sent to You City, he had to respect the other a little.
Therefore, Zhou Jian was less respectful in front of Ye Jie and more arrogant.
The secretary behind Ye Jie wanted to scold Zhou Jian, but Ye Jie raised his hand and the secretary dared not say anything.
Ye Jie looked at Zhou Jian with a mild expression. “How has Young Master Zhou been recently in the capital?”
“Not bad, compared to You City, the beauties of the capital are more to my liking.”
Ye Jie nodded. “It’s good that Young Master Zhou is happy.”
Ye Jie and the rest returned to the office.
Zhou Jian pouted and looked at Ye Jie in disdain.
The rumors said that Ye Jie was calm, but was sharp and cold. Now, it seemed like he was just a slightly cold gigolo.
Zhou Jian left with a cold scoff.
…
In the Crown Prince’s office.
Ye Jie picked up the golf club and swung it with his perfect posture.
The white ball slowly entered the hole.
The secretary and Ah Zuo were standing behind him with respectful expressions.
Three pairs of eyes looked quietly at the man with a n.o.ble, calm, and beautiful face.
After he was done, Ah Zuo handed him a towel.
He looked up as he wiped his hands. “Let’s do it tonight.”
That night, the governor was arrested based on the evidence they had against him. The governor tried his best to defend himself. Eventually, the person who interrogated him played a video for him.
His son was fooling around with women and didn’t even feel any danger with the countless men in black outside the room.
The mayor knew that if he quibbled further, his son would meet Hades before him.
“He actually pulled me down without saying anything. His methods are really more powerful than his father’s!” The governor could not fight back anymore and could only confess the truth of his crimes.
…
After settling the issue in You City, Ye Jie went to the hospital once more.
Ye Qingcheng still did not show any signs of waking up. The doctor told him that she might remain in a vegetative state.
When K Country got the news, they had already sent their investigators over.
If it was not handled properly, the two countries would fall into a deadlock.
Ye Jie stood outside of the ward and looking at the woman inside, and there was an unreadable silence in his dark eyes.
“Your Highness, the K Country’s investigation team is coming soon. It might become very troublesome,” Ah You said carefully.
Ye Jie’s expression was calm and his clear voice was as cold as snow. “How troublesome? That was just an accident.”
“…Yes.”
…
Bo Cixue stayed at home for a few days.
She did not know what her parents were busy with, as they only returned late at night.
This evening, when they came back and saw her, Bo Cixue still found something unusual although they hid it carefully.
They seemed to be hiding something from her.
At night, after Bo Cixue fell asleep, she had a terrible dream.
In the dream, she slowly walked out of the room in her pajamas.
She saw Ye Qingcheng on the balcony.
Ye Qingcheng smiled with disdain and said some nasty things.
She went forward to reason with Ye Qingcheng.
The two of them started to quarrel somehow.
When they quarrel, they inevitably became pushy.
Then, she saw Ye Qingcheng fall from the balcony.
…
“Ah!”
Bo Cixue opened her eyes.
Her beautiful forehead was covered in sweat.
Her heart was still thumping crazily.
Recalling the scene in her dream, it felt like it had actually happened.
She did not know why she was having such a dream!
Bo Cixue lifted the blanket and got off the bed.
Unable to sleep, she planned to go to the rooftop garden to take a breather.
When she reached the top floor and was about to walk over, she suddenly saw an orange light in the small garden.
Her parents were seated on an iron bench.
“Bo Yan, I’m really worried. Little Apple’s sleepwalking is getting worse. If K Country finds out about Princess Qingcheng being pushed down the stairs, I’m afraid even you and I won’t be able to protect her!”
There was a hint of tears in Yan Hua’s voice.
Bo Cixue’s slender body froze.
Her relaxed fingers tightened.
So, her dream was real?
In her sleepwalk, she had gotten into an argument with Ye Qingcheng and had accidentally pushed her downstairs?
Bo Cixue cupped her mouth in disbelief.
“The Crown Prince said that he will handle this.” Bo Yan sighed. “I hope Princess Qingcheng will be safe. I will find the best doctor to treat her.”
Yan Hua nodded. “Shall I talk to Kevin and Little Apple?”
Kevin and Bo Cixue were good friends and he was a psychiatrist.
Bo Cixue had sleep disorders back then, and after Kevin chatted with her, she had gotten a lot better.
After that, they had become close friends.
It turned out that Kevin was a psychiatrist her parents had arranged for her.
Bo Cixue left in a daze.
She drove out in a sports car from the garage.
She sped to the Crown Palace.
The guard saw Little Apple and bowed before opening the gate for her.
Little Apple stopped the car in front of the Crown Prince’s palace.
When Yi Fan saw Bo Cixue coming over, he hurried forward. “Cixue, you’re here to see His Highness so late at night?”
Bo Cixue nodded. “Is Brother Xiaojie asleep?”
“The Queen is here and they’re upstairs. I’ll go up and inform them.”
“Uncle Yi Fan, I’ll go up and find them!”
Little Apple came often when she was young, but after she grew up, she stopped coming so often.
Yi Fan had always regarded her as a little princess like Tiantian and liked her very much.
Bo Cixue lifted her skirt hem and went upstairs.
Nan Zhi was talking to Ye Jie in the study.
Although Ye Jie wanted to hide it, Ye Qingcheng’s matters were too serious and Nan Zhi, Mu Sihan, Bo Yan, and Yan Hua knew about it.
Nan Zhi looked at her son, who was sitting at the desk with a calm expression and a rarely seen sternness was on her face. “Mom knows what you’re thinking, but Little Apple’s condition is getting worse. I asked Kevin.”
“If Little Apple wants to get better, she either needs to be cured by you or be completely separated from you.”
“She loves you too much, son!”
Bo Cixue’s slender hand froze slightly.
Hearing Nan Zhi’s words, she leaned against the wall weakly.
Ye Jie looked up at Nan Zhi. His eyes were as dark as the night sky, completely dark. “How can I help her?”
“Marry her.”
There was dead silence in the study.
The blood in Bo Cixue seemed to stop flowing.
Her white teeth bit down on her cherry blossom pink lips with strength.
“But Mother, she’s just a younger sister to me.”
The string in Bo Cixue’s mind snapped.
She did not want to listen anymore and rushed downstairs.
Yi Fan was standing in the living room. Seeing Bo Cixue’s slightly pale face, he asked with concern, “Cixue, what’s wrong?”
Bo Cixue forced herself to calm down, as her lips curled up into an obedient and sweet smile. “Uncle Yi Fan, can I ask a favor from you?”
“Okay, tell me about it.”
“Please don’t tell Brother Xiaojie and the Queen that I came to find them tonight, okay?”
“This…”
Bo Cixue made an imploring gesture, her face looking pitiful as Yi Fan’s heart softened. “Alright!”
Bo Cixue had left the palace, and she did not hear Ye Jie adding, “Let me think about it.”
…
Bo Cixue drove to a warehouse. She pressed the key to the warehouse door and it opened automatically.
She drove the sports car in.
The warehouse was not just any other warehouse. There was a bed, a sofa and a wardrobe. She picked out a set of black leather clothes and pants from the wardrobe.
After changing, she tied her long hair into a ponytail, put on her helmet, and drove the motorcycle out.
At the late night black market race, it was lively with loud engines ringing.
The moment Bo Cixue went over, she attracted countless people’s attention.
The tight black leather s.h.i.+rt and pants outlined her slender and perfect figure, especially her pair of long legs. They were unbelievably beautiful.
