Chapter 1978: Chance Encounter

After Bo Cixue replied, she received no more messages.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the mall, she was about to go to the western restaurant when she suddenly saw the coat in the window of a male apparel store.

It was a brown coat with simple lines and exuded elegance.

Bo Cixue went in and bought the coat.

It was only when she walked out of the mall that she realized she was crazy.

Forget it, she had already bought it. She would bring it back to see if General Bo could wear it, although General Bo definitely did not like this style.

Bo Cixue carried the shopping bag to the newly opened western restaurant opposite the mall.

The western restaurant was very popular. Seeing that Bo Cixue was alone, the waiter brought her to a corner.

…

When Ye Jie received Bo Cixue’s message, he was about to go to the Bo family’s residence.

Staring at her reply for a few seconds, he turned the steering wheel.

His secretary called. “Your Highness, it’s the third time the Chu family has come. President Chu has invited you to eat at a newly opened western restaurant.”

The Chu family had some power in the capital and was a large family that had been around for hundreds of years. The woman Ye Jie met by the forest stream was the eldest daughter of the Chu family, Chu Li.

After Chu Li returned, she told the Chu family about her. The Chu family agreed that Ye Jie had saved Chu Li and treated him as her savior.

Ye Jie could not continue to refuse. He got his secretary to send him the address and drove to the restaurant.

President Chu waited downstairs with Chu Li and Chu Xi.

There were smiles on their faces when they saw Ye Jie coming over.

Chu Li was wearing a dress today with makeup on her face. After resting for the past few days, she had regained her complexion. She had red lips and white teeth, and looked delicate when she smiled.

Chu Xi was dressed more beautiful than Chu Li. She was two years younger than Chu Li, but looked more mature.

The two sisters’ eyes landed on the man who had gotten out of the car.

He was not dressed as formally as usual today. He was wearing a more casual shirt and cropped pants, and a pair of white shoes. He looked fresh, clean, gentle and elegant, like a university student who had walked out of school.

President Chu went forward and shook Ye Jie’s hand. “Your Highness, thank you for giving us the honor to eat with you.”

Ye Jie nodded.

Chu Li waved his hand lightly at Ye Jie. “I didn’t have time to introduce myself that time. I’m Chu Li. It’s nice to see you again.”

Ye Jie hummed faintly.

When Chu Xi was about to introduce himself, Ye Jie and President Chu had already entered the western restaurant.

Chu Xi pouted. “Why is he so cold?”

Chu Li looked at Chu Xi. “Don’t even think about it. He cares about Miss Bo.”

“What? Sister, how would you know about the changes outside when you were in the forest doe the past few years? Everyone used to say that Bo Cixue was his Princess Consort, but Bo Cixue went abroad three years ago. From what I know, the Crown Prince was dating Princess Ye Qingcheng from K Country. When Bo Cixue found out, she was quite angry and sad.”

“I heard that they haven’t contacted each other at all in the past three years. Besides, everyone in the industry knows that it’s just a one-sided love. His Highness doesn’t like her at all!”

Chu Li bit his lip slightly. “Really? It seems like many things have happened in the past few years.”

…

Ye Jie entered the western restaurant.

President Chu had already booked a table before coming. The VIP room on the second floor had an expansive view.

Chu Xi sat down first with Ye Jie while President Chu and Chu Li sat opposite them.

Ye Jie smelled the perfume on Chu Xi and frowned slightly.

President Chu noticed Ye Jie’s discontent and said quickly, “Xixi, sit with your sister.”

Chu Xi wanted to refuse, but seeing President Chu’s expression, she could only say, “Okay.”

When President Chu and Chu Xi exchanged seats, Ye Jie looked up.

From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a familiar slender figure in the corner of the hall.

He narrowed his dark eyes slightly.

Bo Cixue ordered a table of delicious food and even ordered a bottle of red wine for herself.

From the looks of it, she should be alone.

She poured a glass of red wine and leaned against the chair, swirling the glass slightly. Her bright and beautiful doe eyes stared at the young man playing the piano, a comfortable and lazy smile on her lips.

“Your Highness, thank you for saving our Chu Li. If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t have come out alive.”

Hearing President Chu talking to him, Ye Jie looked away and said calmly, “I would have checked on that situation no matter who it was. Saving her was nothing. Besides, she helped me find the person I wanted. You don’t have to be so polite, President Chu.”

With that said, his dark eyes glanced at where Bo Cixue was.

Chu Xi sat opposite of Ye Jie, thinking that he was looking at her. She flipped her hair slightly, the corners of her lips curling up, showing what she thought was the most perfect smile.

Chu Li glanced at Chu Xi and shook her head secretly.

Bo Cixue felt that it was good to eat alone and immersed herself in food and wine.

However, she had attracted the attention of many people the moment she entered.

Her untainted aura was hard to ignore even if she was sitting in the corner.

Someone came to hit on her.

The man looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a pink shirt and looked fashionable and handsome.

“Little girl, I noticed you the moment you came in. I wonder if I have the honor to add you on WeChat?”

The man’s eyes looked sincere.

Bo Cixue smirked lazily. “How old are you?”

“20.”

“Oh, you’re younger than me.”

“Aren’t May-December relationships very popular now?”

Bo Cixue smiled, her white teeth as white and dazzling as seashells. “It’s quite popular, but there are too many people chasing me. I can’t handle it.”

The man was slightly disappointed when he heard Bo Cixue’s implied rejection.

“Let’s add each other on WeChat. We can start as friends.”

Bo Cixue held a glass of red wine in one hand and put the other on the shopping bag.

When the man saw the coat in the shopping bag, he immediately understood something and said apologetically, “Since you have someone you like, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Bo Cixue smiled and waved at him.

Although the man was rejected, he was quite happy.

The young lady looked like a fairy. She looked cold from afar, but she was a nice person.

The way he rejected her was not too embarrassing.

Ye Jie could not hear what Bo Cixue had said to the man.

But the man stopped by her side for a few minutes. When he left, he had a silly smile on his face. He must have gotten her contact.

Chu Xi saw that Ye Jie had furrowed his eyebrows slightly and his handsome face became sharper. She sat up straight and asked softly, “Your Highness, are the things here not to your liking?”

Ye Jie looked at Chu Xi, who was blocking his sight, and a trace of coldness flashed past his eyes.

Ignoring Chu Xi’s words, he took out his phone and sent a message.

“Where is your meeting?”
