Chapter 1973: You Like Me?
Bo Cixue looked at Ye Jie. He was not looking at her, his handsome face expressionless, his handsome jaw clenched slightly, and his dark eyes cold.
Tsk, she had quite a fiery temper!
Bo Cixue quickly looked away from Ye Jie’s face and looked at Sikong Shan who was looking at her, the corners of her lips curling up.
Her smile was sweet and obedient.
Sikong Shan wanted to see something from Bo Cixue’s face, but could not see anything.
She said, “I’ve discussed with the Crown Prince to get married here. The ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.”
With that said, she stared at Bo Cixue without blinking.
The smile on her face widened. “Congratulations.”
The moment she finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze on her.
Bo Cixue glanced at the owner of the gaze and saw that he was staring at her. She quickly looked away and when she looked away, she accidentally saw another man sitting beside the patriarch.
It was the person who had caught them.
The man was eating with his head lowered. His eyelashes were long, his nose well-defined, and his facial features handsome.
It was as Yan Bei had said. Those people who did not look like the rest of tribe and were good-looking too.
“Miss Bo, why are you staring at Lan Yue? He’s the G.o.dson of the head of the family and will be the head of the family here in the future. He already has a woman he likes in his heart.”
Sikong Shan thought that Bo Cixue would be embarra.s.sed, but she shrugged her shoulders and smiled. “Everyone is attracted to handsome men. If the Crown Prince is ugly, would Miss Sikong still want to marry him?”
Sikong Shan gave a faint smile. “Oh? So it seems like Miss Bo was interested in the Crown Prince because he was handsome?”
Everyone at the table looked at Bo Cixue.
She smiled brightly, her emotions unreadable. “Why else?”
Ye Jie’s expression was still cold, but his eyes on Bo Cixue darkened.
Sikong Shan wanted to say more, but he said coldly, “Eat.”
Sikong Shan looked at his handsome and cold side profile. She was not angry because of his indifferent att.i.tude and instead smiled happily. “I’ll listen to my future husband.”
The word ‘future husband’ pierced Bo Cixue’s heart slightly.
She lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
Ever since she entered the forest, she had not eaten a good meal.
There were delicacies that could only be eaten outside on the dining table, such as beef, chicken, fish. Bo Cixue looked at these delicacies and her mood improved.
She should not go against her stomach.
Looking at Bo Cixue who was eating happily, Sikong Shan could not help but suspect something.
Those rumors that Bo Cixue had liked Ye Jie for many years were all fake!
Why was her appet.i.te still so good when her beloved man was getting married to another woman?
What a heartless woman!
Yan Bei was equally heartless. These two people seemed to have taken most of the food on the table.
Sikong Shan scoffed in her heart. They were like reincarnations of hungry ghosts.
After dinner, Lan Er stood up and brought Bo Cixue and Yan Bei to their room.
Lan Er arranged for Bo Cixue to have a separate stone room.
There was only a simple bed and cupboard in the stone room.
For Bo Cixue, who had not slept in days, it was enough.
Lan Er even fetched water for her and returned her bag.
Bo Cixue wiped it and took out clean clothes from her bag to change.
Lying on the bed, Bo Cixue looked at the moonlight outside and sighed softly.
The past few days were like a dream.
She only hoped that Ye Jie would be able to find Sikong Ling and they would be able to leave this place successfully.
Bo Cixue closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.
In the middle of the night, Bo Cixue woke up.
She needed to go to the washroom.
The washroom was outside and was not far from Bo Cixue’s stone room.
After Bo Cixue went over, she went to the washroom and came out in the dark.
But she was shocked when she came out.
A tall figure had been standing outside for some time.
Bo Cixue did not scream. She kicked the man before he could react.
That person grunted and panted loudly, as if he was extremely angry.
That person must have been angered by the kick and pounced at Bo Cixue like he was mad, saying something.
Hearing the man’s voice, Bo Cixue was stunned.
It was Lan Er’s voice.
Thinking of how he had been staring at her with a burning gaze when they were eating earlier that evening, Bo Cixue frowned.
She clenched her hands into fists. Just as Lan Er was about to pounce on her and she was about to punch him in the face, Lan Er was suddenly kicked from behind.
He stumbled forward and fell to the ground. He had just gotten up when the back of his neck was. .h.i.t and he fell to the ground again.
Bo Cixue looked at the person who had knocked Lan Er out. Before she could see his face clearly, her wrist was grabbed.
She was dragged forward.
By the time she regained her senses and wanted to break free, she had already been brought far away from the stone house.
Under the moonlight, she saw the man’s handsome face clearly.
Along the way, Bo Cixue’s slender and fair wrist was pinched hard by him and there were red marks.
Bo Cixue looked down and rubbed her wrist.
Even without looking up, she could feel the man’s gaze on her.
It was very dark.
Bo Cixue brushed away the hair by her cheek impatiently and looked up at him.
It was dark all around and she could not see his face clearly. But over the years, his face and facial features had become deeply engraved in her mind.
They had parted on bad terms in the stone jail and his expression was very dark when he left.
Bo Cixue did not know what to say to him and turned to leave.
Distracted, she tripped over a stone. Her body tilted and she was about to fall to the ground.
The man behind her caught her and she soon stood firm. She shook his hand away.
She took a few steps forward, but he did not chase after her, only looking at her.
Bo Cixue stopped and turned back to look at him.
She walked up to him.
The aggressive approach seemed to surprise him and he took a step back.
Bo Cixue took a deep breath and asked him, “Have you found Sikong Ling?”
“Tomorrow at the latest.”
Bo Cixue laughed. “You’re still not asleep so late at night. Are you staying outside my room like Lan Er?”
There was a dead silence.
Bo Cixue felt that she was like a dead pig that was no longer afraid of being scalded. Seeing that he was not answering, she smiled. “What does it have to do with you if Lan Er bullies me and takes advantage of me?”
The man was stunned.
Bo Cixue did not know where she got her courage from, but she looked straight at him.
She approached him but he did not move back and the distance between them closed.
Her red lips lifted slightly and she smiled prettily. “Oh, Brother Xiaojie, have you fallen for me?”
