Bo Cixue was drinking and listening to the piano piece.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows when she saw that Ye Jie had replied to her message.
Why did where her meeting was concern him?
But out of courtesy, she still replied, “Food street.”
The food street was his least favorite place.
Soon, she received another reply. “Mm, what did you eat?”
Bo Cixue lowered her long eyelashes and thought for a moment before replying, “Mutton skewers, beef skewers, small potatoes, stinky tofu, hot and sour noodles… A lot.”
When the servant told her about the palace rules before, they had mentioned that she could not go to the food street.
She was the future Princess Consort and would lose her status if she went to the food street.
But she liked those snacks.
She did not think there was anything wrong with it.
But she used to eat these secretly.
She would never dare to tell anyone, let alone Ye Jie.
At that time, she cared too much about his views.
Now, she had already given up. Oh no, she did not want to care about his views anymore.
He did not need to decide if she was good or bad. She just needed to be happy.
Ye Jie saw the message from Bo Cixue and then looked at the food she had ordered, a faint smile on his lips.
He sent a message to Ah You.
…
Chu Xi did not know who Ye Jie was sending a message to. Although he still had a cold expression, a trace of gentleness flashed past his eyes.
He seemed to be smiling.
But looking closely, he was not actually smiling.
He kept his phone and looked at Chu Li. “Lan Nuo is sick and Lan Yue is taking care of him in the hospital.”
The knife and fork in Chu Li’s hand almost fell.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Ye Jie, her lips moving. “I know.”
After she fell into the forest, she saved Lan Yue, who had been attacked by wild beasts while hunting and had fainted.
After Lan Yue woke up, he brought her back to the tribe.
At that time, she had suffered head injuries and she could not remember who she was, so she returned to the tribe with Lan Yue.
Lan Yue treated her as his savior. He was a man of few words but took good care of her.
There were men in the tribe who wanted to bully her but Lan Yue would always stand up for her.
Putting aside his status, Lan Yue was a very charming man in the tribe.
Although he was still very young, he was the most powerful person in the tribe and was very handsome.
It was impossible for Chu Li not to be moved by him at that time.
The two of them naturally became a couple.
But some time ago, she remembered everything.
With her memories, she did not want to stay in the tribe anymore.
She wanted to escape time after time.
After being found out by the head of the family, she was thrown into the stone jail.
Lan Yue went to see her quietly. She jumped into his arms and cried, telling him about her longing for her family.
At that time, she felt Lan Yue’s reluctance, but he did not stop her and let her go quietly, even giving her the escape route and food.
When she left, she saw Lan Yue’s red eyes.
She came out and did not expect Lan Yue to leave the tribe with the patriarch’s grandson, Lan Nuo.
She knew that Lan Nuo was sick and she secretly headed to the hospital.
At that time, Lan Yue was talking to Ye Jie.
Lan Yue was wearing a very cheap t-shirt, his hair messy as he stood in front of the noble Ye Jie like he was dirt at the bottom. Although he was very handsome and did not lose out to those young hunks in the entertainment industry, he was too lowly.
Chu Li had received a good education and had a good family background.
Even if she was willing, her parents would not agree to her being with Lan Yue.
President Chu was a little unhappy when he heard Ye Jie mention Lan Yue, but he did not show it on his face and said, “That Mr Lan helped our Lili a lot. When I have time, I’ll bring the whole family to thank him.”
Ye Jie glanced at Chu Li and understood what the Chu family was thinking.
He would not say too much about other people’s matters, but he was grateful to Lan Yue for sacrificing himself to get them out.
He only said to Chu Li, “If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be here today.”
Chu Li lowered his eyes and her face paled.
Yes, without Lan Yue’s protection in the tribe, she would have been bullied. She might not even have lived to this day.
Lan Yue never made any unreasonable demands to her. He never forced her to do anything she was unwilling to do.
Chu Li bit his lip and said, “I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow.”
…
Bo Cixue had her fill and wanted to settle the bill, but was told that someone had already paid for her meal.
Bo Cixue was slightly confused.
She glanced at the lobby and saw the young man who had approached her earlier waving at her, thinking that the man had paid for her.
She pointed at the man. “Was it that man?”
The cashier shook her head.
Bo Cixue took out her card. “I’ll settle his bill.”
After paying for the man’s table, Bo Cixue thought that the bottle of wine she had ordered was very expensive and bought another bottle of wine, asking the waiter to send it to the man’s table.
The people at the man’s table were all surprised when they saw the wine sent by the waiter.
This wine was very expensive!
The man was also surprised. That beautiful lady was not only beautiful, but also rich. She had paid for their table and had even given them a bottle of wine!
Several of his good friends were eating with the man. They blinked at him and hooted softly, “Wow, you managed to get a beautiful and rich girl.”
The man touched his head, confused.
…
The young people at this table were laughing and fooling around, but the atmosphere in the VIP room on the second floor was a little stiff.
President Chu did not know what he had said wrong. Ye Jie’s expression did not look too good.
“President Chu, I’m sorry, I have a meeting this afternoon.”
Ye Jie had already stood up.
President Chu and the Chu sisters did not ask him to stay and the three of them stood up to send him off.
Ye Jie only asked them to send him out of the room before he left quickly.
On the way back, Bo Cixue received a call from Sikong Ling.
Bo Cixue knew that he had been busy the past two days. After all, such a big thing had happened to the Sikong family. If it was in the past, he would have been implicated too.
Although Ye Jie had protected her, Bo Cixue did not know how the King and the royal family were going to deal with it.
“You want to meet me? Okay, wait there. I’ll come and fetch you later.”
Bo Cixue took a taxi to the garage where she had parked the motorcycle. She changed her clothes and took the shirt she had bought at the mall with her before riding the motorcycle to fetch Sikong Ling.
Sikong Ling was waiting for Bo Cixue outside the palace.
Before long, a cool and ostentatious motorcycle stopped in front of him.
The person riding the motorcycle was a woman wearing a black motorcycle uniform and a helmet.
Seeing her stop in front of him, Sikong Ling took a few steps to the side and heard a lazy laugh. “Hey, why are you hiding?”
The woman took off her helmet and threw another helmet at him. She lifted her chin. “Get in, I’ll take you for a ride.”
Sikong Ling was stunned.
No one noticed a dark sedan driving over.
