Chapter 2019: Company

Bo Cixue was in a good mood and did not want to fight with Chu Li.

But Chu Li’s tone was really uncomfortable.

Bo Cixue took a bite of poached egg and smiled lazily. “Why is Miss Chu so concerned about me? You dressed up but did the Crown Prince look at you?”

Bo Cixue’s words hit Chu Li’s sore spot.

The former was right. When she stood in front of Ye Jie, he did not even look at her.

Besides, his expression was cold, distant and indifferent, making people feel like they could not approach him.

Chu Li tightened her grip on her chopsticks slightly.

She glanced at Bo Cixue, who was not affected, and bit her lip hard. “So what? I came to see my uncle. I also wanted to remove the Crown Prince’s misunderstanding of me. I didn’t mean anything else.”

“But Miss Bo, you seem to have nothing else apart from the Crown Prince in your life.”

“If those socialites in the capital hear about it, Miss Bo will probably become a laughing stock.” Chu Li smiled. “Actually, I’m doing this for your own good. You probably don’t know what those socialites say about you behind your back.”

Chu Li looked at Bo Cixue as she spoke and found that her expression did not change and there was even a smile on her face, as if she was mocking her. Anger appeared in Chu Li’s eyes. “Miss Bo, do you not care what others say?”

Bo Cixue was already full. She wiped the corner of her lips with a tissue and looked at the angry Chu Li. “Why should I care what others say? Besides, only people who make others jealous will be made fun of. Miss Chu probably has no troubles in this aspect because she’s not qualified!”

Chu Li looked embarrassed and was about to say something when he heard Bo Cixue say, “At least the person I can’t get is willing to look at me. You’re so pitiful. You came over dressed up but he doesn’t care at all.”

“Bo Cixue, you…” Chu Li stood up from the chair, her chest heaving slightly. It seemed like she was furious.

Ah You walked in and saw the two women at loggerheads. After nodding at Bo Cixue, he looked at Chu Li with a cold expression. “Miss Chu, please come with me for a while.”

Chu Li automatically ignored Ah You’s different attitude toward Bo Cixue. She smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Before Chu Li left the kitchen, she said to Bo Cixue, “So what if the Crown Prince doesn’t look at me properly? He hasn’t chased me away yet.”

Bo Cixue was speechless. She hoped that Chu Li would still be so naive when she came back at night!

…

Bo Cixue headed to the school in the morning and came back to the house for lunch at noon.

After Ye Jie finished his work in the afternoon, he came back to eat with Bo Cixue.

Bo Cixue did not see Chu Li and asked curiously, “What did you arrange for Chu Li to do?”

“Experience civilian life.”

Bo Cixue could not help laughing. “You’re so mean.”

After dinner, Ye Jie took Bo Cixue up the mountain.

He used to think that she was a delicate flower, but some time ago, he realized that she was not like what he had imagined.

Bo Cixue also liked to exercise outdoors and with her good health, the two of them reached the top of the mountain in less than two hours.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Bo Cixue took out her phone. “Brother Xiaojie, let’s take a photo!” Knowing that he did not like to take photos, she pouted. “If you don’t want to take it, I won’t force you.”

“Let’s do it.”

He went to her side and looked at the camera on her phone.

Bo Cixue looked at the heads touching and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. She took three consecutive photos.

He took out his phone. “I’ll take a picture too.”

Bo Cixue leaned toward him again. He pursed his lips slightly and looked at the girl beside him. He said lightly, “Cixue, a snake.”

What?

A snake?

Bo Cixue had been bitten once in the forest. Once bitten, twice shy.

She immediately jumped up and let out an alarming scream, hanging onto the man beside her.

Just then, a loud click sounded.

She had wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and her distorted and ugly appearance had been taken.

Bo Cixue looked at her feet. Where was the snake he was talking about?

H-He… had actually lied to her!

Bo Cixue did not expect that the usually reserved and calm Crown Prince would have such a bad side!

Looking at the photos he had taken, she really wanted to jump off the cliff.

“Delete the photo. It’s so ugly.”

Ye Jie looked at the photo. “It’s very cute.”

Bo Cixue wanted to take the phone, but he put it away and put it in his pocket. His actions were smooth.

Bo Cixue retracted her hand.

How could she take it if he had put it in his pants pocket?

Bo Cixue was so angry that her face was red. “Delete it. I’ll send you the one in my phone.”

The man smirked slightly. “You look good no matter what.”

Bo Cixue did not believe him. She stomped her feet and pretended to be angry at the man. “There must be something wrong with your eyes.”

He suddenly lowered his head and a handsome face came up to her.

Their noses were almost touching.

Bo Cixue’s heart seemed to stop.

His eyes were very deep and beautiful.

They were like a reef at the bottom of the sea, it was easy to sink in and not be able to get out.

Bo Cixue closed her eyes, refusing to look into his eyes for a long time.

Her eye
