Chapter 2006: Meeting Again
In the end, Bo Cixue could not refuse the Crown Prince’s order.
After taking the medicine, she even ate the light snack he had brought over obediently.
He did not leave and sat on the sofa to watch her work.
However…
She was sleepy after taking cold medicine and her eyelids started to flutter.
She glared at him bitterly.
See, she said that she could not eat it and it would be bad if she did!
Looking at her sleepy face, he walked over, a faint smile on his handsome face. “Go and sleep on the sofa.”
“I don’t want to. I haven’t finished my work.”
“Sleep for half an hour and I’ll wake you up.” He looked at her, his eyes gentle. “Otherwise, you won’t be able to work properly with your current mental state.”
Bo Cixue fought for a while before she nodded and agreed.
To her, the effect of cold medicine was not less effective than sleeping pills.
She lay on the sofa and fell asleep quickly.
Ye Jie took off his jacket and covered Bo Cixue.
He went to her computer and sat down.
Glancing at the data on the computer, he undid his cufflink, rolling his sleeves up to his forearms as his slender fingers started typing on the keyboard.
Yan Yu came to the office in the evening to take some things. He pushed the office door open and saw that Bo Cixue’s computer was still lit. He walked over. “Cixue, why are you still working so late at night? Have you eaten…”
Before she could finish, she saw that the person working in front of the screen was not Bo Cixue, but…
Yan Yu widened his eyes in disbelief.
It was the Crown Prince!
The blue light from the screen landed on the man’s well-defined face, making his face look even more handsome. He was focused on writing the code, exuding an indescribable charm.
Yan Yu stared at Ye Jie in a daze.
Seeming to have sensed Yan Yu’s gaze, the man who was focused on work looked up at him.
Yan Yu wanted to say something, but the man shook his head, indicating that he should not disturb the woman sleeping on the sofa.
Yan Yu nodded, took his things and left hurriedly.
When Bo Cixue woke up, it was already dawn.
Her fever had subsided and she felt much better.
She looked out of the window, extremely surprised.
How could she have slept for only half an hour?
Bo Cixue got up and looked around the office.
Ye Jie was no longer there.
She smirked in self-ridicule.
How could he still be here at this time?
Bo Cixue went to the washroom to freshen herself up. She returned to her desk and turned on her computer.
Hmm, the computer felt warm.
Thinking of how she did not turn off her computer before she slept last night, she understood.
Opening the program, Bo Cixue was about to continue working when she suddenly realized that the mistake she had made had been fixed.
There was disbelief in her eyes.
She was not hundred percent sure that she could fix that problem. Even if she could, it might take two to three days.
But why was it suddenly fixed?
Was she dreaming?
Bo Cixue hit her head hard.
It hurt.
She was not dreaming!
Who could have repaired the loophole?
Her colleagues in the office would not be so kind and capable.
A figure appeared in Bo Cixue’s mind unconsciously.
Was it him?
Turning off her computer, she took her phone and went downstairs.
Ah Zuo had driven the car to the parking lot of the research inst.i.tute yesterday. The front desk staff kept the car keys for her and when she saw Bo Cixue coming down, the front desk staff handed her the car keys.
Bo Cixue got into the sports car and called Ye Jie.
But it was switched off.
Bo Cixue called Ah Zuo again.
“His Highness took Ah You overseas for a visit and left directly from the private tarmac. He’s going for a week before going directly to the west.”
Bo Cixue’s mind buzzed.
Bo Cixue drove quickly to the royal private plane’s parking area.
But she was still a step too late.
The staff on the private tarmac said that the Crown Prince’s plane had taken off.
Bo Cixue leaned against the car window and looked at the blue sky, her heart feeling a little empty.
…
On the plane.
Ah You was reporting to Ye Jie.
Ye Jie had not slept the entire night, his dark eyes bloodshot and his expression cold.
…
Bo Cixue left the private airport.
An Ni called and said that she would wait for her at the mall.
Bo Cixue agreed to An Ni’s invitation a few days ago to go shopping with her during the weekend.
When she pa.s.sed by a branded male apparel store, Bo Cixue saw the male apparel in the window and could not help but think of how Ye Jie had asked her to buy a coat for him.
She went in and saw a coat.
When the staff thought that she was going to buy it, she hurried out of the branded store.
An Ni was stunned. “Cixue, who were you buying a coat for?”
Bo Cixue replied without blus.h.i.+ng or gasping, “My father.”
An Ni did not doubt her. The two of them went to the female section and bought jackets.
A few more days pa.s.sed.
Bo Cixue received a call from An Ni. “Cixue, did you know? Chu Li made a mistake in her work and was fired before she pa.s.sed the trial period.”
Bo Cixue was a little surprised.
…
After work, Bo Cixue returned home.
After thinking about it, she sent a message to Ye Jie.
“Were you involved in Chu Li’s expulsion?”
Perhaps it was because of the jet lag, but she did not receive any messages from him that night.
When she woke up the next day, she saw his reply.
But there was only one word. “Mm.”
Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat. She did not reply and looked at the garden outside the window in a daze.
…
“He fixed the loophole in the program for you and even fired Chu Li for your public and private matters. He’s really good to his ‘younger sister’.”
“I don’t blame you for being moved by him in the past. If I had such a childhood friend, I would also not be able to control myself.”
Bo Cixue, Tang Wu, and Nan Xun told them what Ye Jie had done for her before they left.
Tang Wu sighed as she drank the beverage. “When will I have such a man who is so good to me?”
Bo Cixue glanced at Tang Wu. “Haven’t you been posting about the newly signed young hunks of the company every day recently?”
“Tsk, they’re all artistes. I have to promote them.” Tang Wu cupped her cheeks, looking extremely melancholic. “To be honest, the newly signed young hunks are indeed handsome, but they’re not the type I like.”
“Are you still thinking about Lan Yue?”
Tang Wu raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly. “I’m not thinking too much, but he’s really exquisite and was the first person I took the initiative to flirt with. It’ll be hard to forget him after he suddenly disappeared.”
Tang Wu chatted with Bo Cixue for a while and found Nan Xun sitting by the side without a word. She blinked. “What’s wrong with Ah Xun today?”
It had been a few days since that night between Nan Xun and Tang Mo. Nan Xun did not think too much about it and focused on her work.
However, the cooperation between the company and Tang Corporation seemed to have gone up in smoke.
When she went to the Tang Corporation to talk to Tang Mo, he either made her wait for a day or ignored her.
How could a grown man act this way? She was still a virgin, so he was really not at a loss!
Nan Xun naturally could not tell Tang Wu about this. She shook her head. “I’ve been a little annoyed at work recently.”
“Oh right.” Bo Cixue seemed to have thought of something and took out a few tickets. “There’s a swimming compet.i.tion in the stadium tomorrow afternoon. It seems to be a national compet.i.tion. Those who win the compet.i.tion can partic.i.p.ate in the world champion compet.i.tion.”
Tang Wu did not know how to swim, but it did not stop her from liking the boys on the swimming team.
All of them had long legs and were bursting with hormones.
Nan Xun was focused on his work. “I won’t go. I have to work overtime.”
…
Bo Cixue and Tang Wu went to watch the compet.i.tion.
Recently, she had not let herself remain idle. She was afraid that if she did, her mind would be confused.
There were many in the audience at the swimming pool.
An Ni, Bo Cixue, and Tang Wu came over and the three of them sat in the VIP seats.
The compet.i.tion had not started yet and Tang Wu went to the washroom.
When she sat back down, Bo Cixue blinked at her.
“Why? Did your eyes enter your eyelashes? Come, let me take a look at you.”
Bo Cixue pushed Tang Wu’s head away and raised her chin to point at the big screen. “Look there.”
Tang Wu was slightly short-sighted and she narrowed her beautiful eyes. “What? Eh, did I see it wrongly? I saw Lan Yue.”
Bo Cixue smiled brightly. “Oh, I’ll be able to see Brother Lan’s good figure later.”
Tang Wu immediately perked up. “I’m looking forward to it.”
An Ni looked at Bo Cixue and Tang Wu in confusion. “Who’s Brother Lan? He hasn’t won anything before!”
Bo Cixue said, “Tang Wu’s crush.”
“F*ck you, who said I like him?”
As the two of them played, the 400-meter swim preliminaries were about to start.
The announcer introduced the swimmer who was partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion one by one. Lan Yue was the fifth to appear.
He was wearing sportswear and a swimming cap on his head. He was tall and thin with long arms and legs, his figure proportion excellent.
His appearance attracted the attention of many people the moment he came out even though he was still an unknown small fry in the swimming team.
He took off his sports jacket and the lines of his shoulders and arms were very attractive. He looked thin in his clothes, but his pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, and long legs were attractive.
“F*ck, it’s really him. No wonder I couldn’t find him the past few months. He actually went to the swimming team to be an athlete.”
Tang Wu’s eyes landed on the big boy who was preparing for the compet.i.tion without blinking.
To be honest, other people wearing swim caps that tightened their scalp would more or less affect their appearance, but it clearly did not affect that boy who was stretching.
His skin was slightly fairer than when he had just left the tribe. His lips were slightly red and his eyes were very dark. His eyelashes felt very long even from so far away and they covered his eyes.
Tang Wu had been used to looking at too many handsome men since she was young. Those who could catch her eyes were definitely top-notch.
And Lan Yue was one of the best.
Tang Wu could not help but shout, “Brother Lan, come on.”
Her voice did not attract much attention in the noisy swimming pool.
But the person stretching looked over at her.
Their eyes met.
