Chapter 2085: Marriage Alliance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the presidential palace.
After a conversation, Ye Lang did not relent.
After lunch, he asked the butler to send Bo Yan away first.
Ye Jie nodded at Bo Yan. “Don’t let Cixue wait outside for too long.”
Bo Yan was experienced and knew what Ye Jie meant.
If the presidential palace wanted to trap him and blackmail him, he would go out to find help and they would not be trapped here.
But as the president of a country, Ye Lang should not use despicable means.
After Bo Yan left, Ye Lang called Ye Jie into the study and said directly, “My two daughters are in love with you. The older one used the wrong method and ruined your fate with her. But the younger one suffered for four years because of you. As a father, I can’t tum a blind eye to it.”
“Twant you to get engaged to Qingcheng. When Qingcheng recovers, we’ll hold the wedding on an auspicious day!”
Hearing Ye Lang’s request, Ye Jie’s thin lips curled up slightly. “I can understand why you love your daughter so much, President. But feelings can’t be forced. If I can’t even decide on my own marriage, what’s the point of being the Crown Prince?”
In other words, if he wanted to marry Ye Qingcheng, this marriage would work. If he was unwilling, no one could force him.
Ye Lang looked at Ye Jie’s deep and cold expression. There was a smile in his eyes, but there was no warmth. “Is this your sincerity? My daughter has been in a vegetative state for four years. It’s not something that can be resolved with just an apology.”
“We’re neighbors and should be helping each other, but you’re going too far. If you don’t agree and fall out with me in the future, don’t blame me for disregarding the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries!”
Ye Lang got up from the leather chair. “I’ll give His Highness a night to consider.”
‘When Ye Qingcheng returned to the presidential palace, she was surprised to hear that her father had asked the Crown Prince of $ Country to stay over and even asked her to get engaged to him.
She had just woken up and he wanted her to get engaged?
Or with a man she was not very familiar with?
Ye Yiren naturally heard this news too. She was jealous and angry, but there was nothing she could do.
One wrong step and there was no turning back!
However, it seemed quite pleasant to be able to separate Ye Jie and Bo Cixue and let Ye Qingcheng marry a man who would never love her.
A marriage would cause pain and regret to three people!
Bo Cixue received a call from Bo Yan and returned to the hotel.
Seeing that Ye Jie did not return to the hotel with him, Bo Cixue asked in confusion, “Where’s Brother Xiaojie?”
Bo Yan pursed his lips, his expression cold and sharp. “President Ye’s att.i.tude is very strong this time. I’m sure he will make unreasonable demands if he keeps Xiaojie.”
An unreasonable request?
Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat. “Will Brother Xiaojie marry Ye Qingcheng?”
Bo Yan nodded. “It’s very likely.”
Bo Cixue bit her lip hard. “I can’t let Brother Xiaojie pay for my mistake.”
Bo Yan stopped Bo Cixue, who was about to go out. “You want to go to the presidential palace to reason? Little Apple, you can’t enter.”
Bo Cixue’s fair eyes turned red and she clenched her fists. “Ye Yiren once wanted to use this to blackmail Brother Xiaojie into marrying her. Now that President Ye is like this, doesn’t Brother Xiaojie have the right to make his own choice?”
“What did he do wrong? I’m the one at fault!” Bo Cixue was suddenly agitated.
As long as she met with Ye Jie, she could not calm down.
Bo Yan held Bo Cixue’s slender shoulders and his deep voice sounded in Bo Cixue’s ear. “Little Apple, do you think Xiaojie will be controlled by anyone?”
Bo Cixue quickly said, “No.”
“Let’s wait and see. I’ve already sent more people secretly. As long as Xiaojie gives me the signal, my men will sneak in to support him.”
Bo Cixue nodded.
She needed to calm herself down.
Bo Cixue took out her phone and sent a message to Ye Jie.
After waiting for a while, there was no reply.
Bo Cixue could not help but call him.
But the call did not go through.
Bo Cixue panicked.
She walked out of the room and went to Bo Yan, who was smoking on the balcony.
“Daddy, I can’t get through to Brother Xiaojie.”
Bo Yan knew that Bo Cixue was worried about Ye Jie and his hand that was not holding a cigarette touched her head. “My men have not received the signal from Xiaojie yet. Little Apple, we can only wait and see now. You have to believe in his ability to protect himself.”
Bo Cixue suppressed the worry in her heart and nodded.
It was not that she did not blame herself. If she had not suffered from sleepwalking and had not harmed Ye Qingcheng, he would not have been held hostage by others!
During dinner at the presidential palace, Ye Qingcheng came out of the room after being urged by the stylist and makeup artist.
Madam Ye was waiting at the door. When she saw Ye Qingcheng, she frowned slightly, as if she was still not satisfied.
“Qingcheng, eat less tonight. You have to pay attention to your figure and take care of yourself.”
Although Ye Qingcheng was still very young, four years in a vegetative state had been ruined beyond recognition in Madam Ye’s eyes.
Of course, Ye Qingcheng was not seriously ruined. However, to a royal woman, her face and figure were her facade and could not have any shortcomings. Even if a pregnant woman gave birth to a child, she would only gain weight and look like she had never given birth.
Ye Qingcheng was considered slightly fat among ordinary people, but in Madam Ye’s eyes, she was very fat.
She could not bear to see her daughter like this. Although she knew that it was because of the drug that she had changed, she would feel embarra.s.sed taking her out.
That was why she did not bring Ye Qingcheng back after she woke up.
Ye Qingcheng felt a little sad when she saw the disappointment flas.h.i.+ng in her mother’s eyes.
‘When she was not strict with herself in the past, she had seen such an expression in her mother’s eyes.
Ye Qingcheng bit her lip. “I understand.”
Ye Yiren came out of her room and saw Ye Qingcheng and Madam Ye standing in the corridor. She walked over, looking gentle and obedient. “Mom, Qingcheng has just woken up. Don’t be too strict with her.”
Madam Ye looked at Ye Yiren, who was exquisite in every way, and sighed. “You’re so good at playing mahjong. Both sisters make me worry.”
Madam Ye went downstairs first.
Ye Yiren looked at Ye Qingcheng’s dark expression and went forward to hold her arm. “Qingcheng, don’t take Mom’s words to heart.”
Ye Qingcheng shook off Ye Yiren’s hand and raised her eyebrows. “What do you think if I agree to get engaged to the Crown Prince of $ Country?”
Without waiting for Ye Yiren to say anything, Ye Qingcheng continued, “If I remember correctly, you used to like him a lot, right?”
Ye Yiren’s expression did not change… “Didn’t you s.n.a.t.c.h it away later? Qingcheng, when will you grow up?”
