Bo Cixue did not want Ye Jie to mention her in front of Princess You Lan.
Firstly, with Princess You Lan’s personality, if she knew that she was her love rival, she would be pestered by her to PK. She would feel bored and waste her time.
Secondly, she was only getting along peacefully with Ye Jie because he was sick and did not like him much. She did not want to be his s.h.i.+eld.
Thirdly, You Lan’s personality was bright and lively, complementing the quiet and reserved him. If he could let go of her and try to accept a new life, You Lan would be a good choice.
Bo Cixue returned to her apartment.
‘When only Ye Jie and You Lan were left in the dining room, You Lan saw that Bo Cixue had not eaten much and did not seem to have eaten much either. She stuck out her tongue. “Did we say something to make her unhappy?”
Ye Jie put down his chopsticks. “I have work to do. I asked Ah You to wait for the Princess downstairs. Princess, please leave after you’re done.”
You Lan looked at Ye Jie’s cold expression and frowned. “But you haven’t told me who you like.”
“It doesn’t matter who it is. What’s important is that it won’t be you.”
Tsk!
Did he have to be so hurtful?
He had not even seen her s.h.i.+ning point, how did he know it was not her?
Bo Cixue had not eaten at night and her stomach hurt the next day.
She went to the Royal Hospital.
After seeing the doctor, she met the attending doctor who had examined Ye Jie on the night of the New Year.
Thinking of Ye Jie’s condition, Bo Cixue planned to ask him about it.
The attending doctor returned to the office and Bo Cixue was about to knock when she saw Ah You through the gap.
“His Highness’ body is fine. It was dry a while ago and he often stayed up late when he was busy. People will have some discomfort when they are extremely weak and tired.”
“He must take the medicine I prescribed on time. Also, he must rest well.”
Bo Cixue did not react for a while when she heard the attending doctor’s words.
It was not a big problem, but because the weather was dry and there was a lack of rest.
There was nothing wrong with his body and Bo Cixue was naturally happy for him.
But at the same time, he was furious. He should not have used such a thing to lie to her!
Bo Cixue walked out of the hospital and received a message from You Lan.
“Help me arrange a date with the Crown Prince in two days. The three of us will go riding together. I want the Crown Prince to see my riding skills. Sister Bo, can you help me?”
Bo Cixue replied, “Okay.”
‘There were still a few days before work. Bo Cixue returned to the apartment and wrote a program for more than two hours.
After taking the stomach medicine, she lay on the bed and slept.
‘When she woke up, it was already five in the afternoon. Bo Cixue cooked noodles and went for a walk downstairs.
‘When she took the elevator back to the apartment, she met Ye Jie.
‘There were the two of them in the elevator and she glanced at him through the mirror.
His handsome face looked cold and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. He had one hand in his pocket and was wearing a well-ironed suit, exuding a sense of alienation and indifference.
He was probably still angry about her taking You Lan out for dinner yesterday.
However, Bo Cixue was also angry.
Bo Cixue did not show it on her face. When they reached the top floor and walked out, she tured back to look at him. “Brother Xiaojie, are you free in two days?”
The man who was about to reach the door was slightly stunned.
He did not seem to expect her to ask if he was free in two days.
His tightly pursed lips seemed to loosen a little, and his handsome face softened. “I’ll take some time out. What do you want to do?”
Bo Cixue said calmly, “I’m asking you to go riding.”
He agreed with a low and hoa.r.s.e voice.
He only entered the apartment after she did. His eyes were filled with gentleness and adoration.
Two days later.
After Ye Jie finished his work, he returned to the apartment from the office early in the morning. He washed up, changed into a set of casual clothes, and pressed the doorbell of Bo Cixue’s apartment.
‘The doorbell rang for a long time but no one answered.
Ye Jie sent a message to Bo Cixue.
Soon, Bo Cixue replied, “I’m already at the horse ranch in the suburbs.”
‘The last time she had arranged to go to the horse ranch with Caesar, they had parted on bad terms after being confused by him.
This time, Ye Jie did not want the same thing to happen again.
Although he was a little disappointed that she had gone over early, he was still in a good mood.
It had been a long time since she had taken the initiative to ask him out.
Ye Jie drove to the horse ranch personally.
Bo Cixue had already changed into her riding outfit and was riding a white horse.
Ye Jie went to the changing room to change into riding clothes and chose a brown horse.
He was tall and handsome, cold and n.o.ble. Under the golden sunlight, he was extremely attractive.
Bo Cixue sighed slightly. No wonder she had only had her attention on him since she was young. He really had the ability.
“Brother Xiaojie, come with me.”
Looking at Bo Cixue’s beautiful face, Ye Jie rode his horse and followed her into the forest in the suburbs.
“Cixue, slow down. Don’t leave the ranch.”
Bo Cixue kept riding forward. Hearing Ye Jie’s words, she turned back to look at him. “It’s alright. It’s more fun out of the ranch!”
Seeing her speed up, he could only speed up.
‘The two of them rode into the forest and Bo Cixue suggested, “Brother Xiaojie, there are wild fruits over there. Can you help me pick some to eat?”
Ye Jie narrowed his dark eyes slightly. “You want to eat it?”
Ye Jie got off the horse and walked toward the fruit tree.
When Bo Cixue saw this, she turned around quickly and whistled at the horse ranch owner. The brown horse Ye Jie was riding immediately left with Bo Cixue.
Ye Jie heard a whistle and when he looked at Bo Cixue, the brown horse had already run far away.
‘There were not many emotions in his eyes, but they were as deep and quiet as the midnight sea.
How could a smart person like him not notice her abnormality today?
He just wanted to see what she was up to.
After a while, she heard the sound of horses galloping over.
You Lan was riding a red horse, wearing an exotic riding outfit. She was handsome and full of vigor.
Seeing Ye Jie, she stopped the horse and jumped down from the horse’s back.
“Brother Crown Prince!”
You Lan’s eyes were bright and there was a smile on her pretty face. She walked up to Ye Jie happily. “Brother Crown Prince, let me show you my riding skills?”
Ye Jie pursed his lips tightly, his handsome jawline so tensed that it seemed like it was about to break.
He looked at You Lan gloomily and did not speak for a while, his mind turning rapidly.
You Lan was shocked when she saw Ye Jie’s expression.
Now, his eyes were dark, his jaw clenched tightly, and his fierce aura seemed to freeze the air around him.
“Brother Crown Prince…”
Ye Jie clenched his fists tightly and looked at You Lan with his dark eyes, a cold smile on his lips. “You planned all of this?”
You Lan then realized what he was angry about.
“Yes, yes. I want to pursue you and show you my best side. I’ll ask Sister Bo to help me.”
“Did you threaten her?”
“N-No.” You Lan was afraid that he would not believe her, so she took out her phone and showed her the message they had sent. “Sister Bo is very nice.”
Ye Jie suddenly raised his hand and threw You Lan’s phone to the ground.
His suppressed nerves seemed to be triggered and an uncontrollable anger rose in his heart. His voice was low and cold. “Princess You Lan, don’t you understand what I said last time? No matter how outstanding you are, I won’t have any feelings for you.”
“Also, even if the person I like doesn’t like me, it won’t be you.”
You Lan looked at Ye Jie, who was cold and heartless. She pouted and her eyes turned red. “Since you hate being with me so much, I’ll let you ride the horse back.”
Ye Jie looked at You Lan and said coldly, “No need. I’ll stay here with you.”
You Lan blinked in confusion. “Don’t you hate being with me?” The women from the Southern Region had backbone. Even after her hard work, she still could not get his favor and would not pester him.
“Stay.”
His expression was dark, domineering and cold.
Her lips moved, but she did not ask anything else.
She had chosen this place in advance. It was far away from the horse ranch and there was no signal. It was hard not to develop something if only the two of them were left.
After Bo Cixue left the horse ranch, she arranged to meet Tang Wu at a hotpot restaurant in the city center.
After ordering, Bo Cixue told her about You Lan asking her to ask Ye Jie to ride a horse.
Tang Wu was about to drink tea when she heard Bo Cixue’s words and was slightly stunned.
Tang Wu looked at Bo Cixue with scrutiny and surprise.
Bo Cixue said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Tang Wu stared at Bo Cixue for a while and shook her head with a sigh. “Don’t you think that you’ve been a little strange recently?”
Bo Cixue did not notice it herself.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Tang Wu said, “You let the Crown Prince ride a horse with Princess You Lan in the suburbs and even brought the two of them into the deep forest to be alone. Also, after I returned, I realized that your att.i.tude toward the Crown Prince showed that something was wrong with you.”
They had been in the same university dormitory for several years and Tang Wu knew how much Bo Cixue cared and liked Ye Jie.
Although she did not show it on her face at that time and did not mention Ye Jie, she could not help but watch him appear in the news, newspapers, and magazines.
Perhaps even she did not realize that she had seen Ye Jie’s gaze on TV or magazine.
It was a adoration and admiration that came from the bottom of her heart.
Tang Wu did not believe that a person who had Ye Jie in his heart would take the initiative to push him to another woman.
“Cixue, when did you realize that you have no feelings for the Crown Prince? He didn’t attend the engagement party. I remember that you didn’t say it, but you felt sad.”
“You were in more pain than anyone else when you found out that he might have fallen off the cliff!”
