It was not Bo Cixue’s first time receiving a gift from him, but this sudden surprise still made her heart beat wildly.
She was so happy that she forgot where she was and did not notice where the car had driven. By the time she reacted, the car had stopped at a luxurious and high-end district in the city center.
Bo Cixue was slightly surprised. “Where… is this?”
“My apartment in the city.”
Bo Cixue followed him to the apartment in a daze.
He went in first, turned on the lights and took out a pair of female slippers from the shoe cabinet and put it in front of her.
Bo Cixue looked at the lady’s slippers and was slightly stunned.
He did not seem to see her shock and said in a low voice, “I’ll get you something to drink.”
When he went into the kitchen, Bo Cixue went into the living room with her eyebrows furrowed.
The apartment looked to be more than a hundred square meters, but there were only two rooms, one bedroom and one study. It was coldly decorated.
Bo Cixue went to the bathroom and saw a couple’s cup and toothbrush on the sink. She frowned even more.
Although the apartment looked cold and hard, it was obvious that he did not live alone.
He lived with a woman!
Ye Jie came out with a cup of hot milk and saw Bo Cixue standing in the living room with her red lips pouted, looking at him with a bitter expression. He went over and handed her the milk. “What’s wrong?”
Bo Cixue looked at his handsome face and dark eyes and bit her lip. “Am I wearing another woman’s slippers?”
She thought he would deny it, but he hummed in agreement.
Bo Cixue hummed, her expression and voice clearly falling.
She did not continue asking, but he said, “You’re the third woman to come here.”
Wasn’t he being too mean?
They had just made up. Did he want to separate again?
The third woman?
Bo Cixue took a big sip of milk angrily and said angrily, “I know you’re charming. As long as you’re willing, many women will come back with you.”
She did not realize that her tone was sour.
Anyone would be jealous!
She lowered her fan-like long eyelashes and did not see the interest in his eyes.
Her expression was very lively and the way she cried was very interesting.
He smirked slightly.
Bo Cixue saw that he was silent and looked up at him.
Seeing him laughing, she was even angrier.
She looked up and finished the milk in the gla.s.s.
“I have to go home.” She put the cup on the coffee table.
He stood in front of her, blocking her way, his dark eyes playful. “Are you angry?”
“No, why should I be angry? I’m not angry at all.” She glared at him and lifted her leg, wanting to leave.
But before she could take a step, her slender waist was held by his strong hand.
He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed the milk at the corner of her mouth.
Bo Cixue put her hands on his broad and handsome shoulders. Seeing the mischievousness in his eyes, she immediately understood that he was teasing her. She clenched her fists and punched him a few times.
“Were the two women Auntie Nan Zhi and the servants from the palace?”
He narrowed his eyes. “You’re not that stupid after all.”
“You’re the stupid one…” She glared at him with a red face. “You’re so mean!” There was no need to ask anymore. She knew very well that the slippers, toothbrush and cup were all bought for her.
She hugged his strong waist with both hands, greedily taking in his refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.
“Are you not that against kissing me now?”
Asking such a question was both shy and awkward. She pressed her forehead against his chest, not daring to look at him.
He looked down at the small head in his arms, his handsome chin resting on the top of her head as he hummed softly.
“Cixue, I didn’t get together with Ye Yiren because I liked her. At that time, because I was surrounded by male staff and didn’t like to interact with women apart from my family and friends, so there were rumors that I was gay. That affected my image a little.”
“Ye Yiren suggested to work with me. She didn’t want to be urged by her family to go on a blind date with a young master from a prestigious family. If she could help me dispel the rumors, I would help her settle the blind date matters after the scandal.”
“Only the two of us knew about this. My parents, Tang Mo, and the rest didn’t know about it and thought that Ye Yiren and I were really in love.”
He looked down at her, his eyes darkening slightly. “As for the other thing you want to know, I… don’t know how to say it. I once felt that I was very dirty…”
Bo Cixue’s heart ached. She raised her slender hand and pressed it against his scarlet lips.
She shook her head hard. “No, don’t think of yourself like that.” Not wanting him to remember those nightmare-like pain, tears of heartache filled her eyes. “Everyone has their secrets. I won’t investigate them anymore. I won’t be angry at you because of this anymore.”
“You will always be the best and you’re irreplaceable in my heart.”
Hearing her words, his dark eyes slowly turned red.
He pulled her into his arms and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Cixue, thank you.”
Bo Cixue felt extremely ashamed when she thanked him.
Not long ago, she had even tried to tear his wound apart and had even sprinkled salt on it, making him hurt even more!
Bo Cixue opened her mouth, wanting to say something when her stomach suddenly grumbled.
Her fair and exquisite face immediately flushed red.
She prayed that he had not heard her, but his low voice with a slight smile sounded above her head. “You haven’t eaten dinner. Are you hungry?”
Bo Cixue hummed with a red face.
“I’ll go make you a bowl of noodles.”
He went into the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up to his arms and took out noodles, tomatoes, and eggs…
Bo Cixue leaned against the kitchen door and looked at the Crown Prince cooking noodles for her. She was even happier than when she had received the ruby necklace…
She took out her phone and secretly took a photo.
After a while, her phone rang. Bo Cixue saw the caller ID and hurried to the living room.
“Mom, I’m not going back tonight. Don’t worry about me. I’m at Wuwu’s apartment.”
After the call with Yan Hua, Bo Cixue quickly called Tang Wu, afraid that she would tell her mother about it if her mother checked up.
Tang Wu said, “I thought you didn’t plan to do it.”
“What are you thinking? Even if I want to, he wouldn’t. He’s a gentleman.”
After Bo Cixue finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong.
Turning around, she saw a tall man standing not far behind her, a pair of black eyes landing on her.
Bo Cixue caressed her forehead, looking awkward. “I didn’t mean it that way. Don’t misunderstand.”
“You mean I’m not a gentleman?”
“No, no. You are the most gentlemanly man I know.”
He raised his eyebrows.. “You sound a little disappointed.”
