Chapter 1960: Injured

Bo Cixue walked to the dining area.

She looked at the entrance of the banquet hall and saw two rows of bodyguards in black standing there.

If she tried to go out like this, she probably wouldn’t be able to get out.

Bo Cixue looked around and saw Yu Luoluo staggering toward the washroom like she had drunk too much.

Bo Cixue followed.

There was a distance from the banquet hall to Sikong’s washroom. Yu Luoluo only realized that Bo Cixue had followed her when she arrived at the washroom.

Yu Luoluo did not know what to feel about Bo Cixue.

Being the same sex, Yu Luoluo was undoubtedly jealous and unhappy with the person who was prettier than her.

But she had to admit that Bo Cixue was unbelievably beautiful. She had a face that anyone would take a liking to.

Most men in the world would probably like women like her.

Bo Cixue leaned against the door of the washroom and looked at Yu Luoluo with a smile.Yu Luoluo’s face turned slightly red from her gaze and teasing.

F*ck, was Bo Cixue trying to hook her up?

In M University, other than boys who liked Bo Cixue, there were also girls who liked her.

But Yu Luoluo had a normal sexual orientation.

If not, she would have been seduced too.

Yu Luoluo cursed silently. “Pervert.”

She leaned against the sink and lit a cigarette. Bo Cixue walked over and reached out her hand to Yu Luo. “Give me one.”

Yu Luoluo was slightly surprised. “You know how to smoke”

“Mm.”

Yu Luoluo looked like she had been struck by lightning. “Young Master Lian said that you have an innocent and obedient face but you’re actually very naughty. I didn’t believe him at first!”

“Who said that smoking is bad? This is just a way to relieve stress.”Yu Luoluo was smoking a cigarette meant for women. It was not strong, and Bo Cixue lit it with her eyes slightly narrowed.

The two of them chatted in the washroom for a while. Just as Yu Luoluo was about to finish smoking, she heard Bo Cixue say, “Sister, I’m sorry.”

Before Yu Luoluo could react, the back of her neck was hit by a knife.

Yu Luoluo blacked out and fainted.

Bo Cixue stubbed out her cigarette, exchanged her gown with Yu Luoluo’s, and spread her hair over her shoulders.

There was a storage room outside the washroom and Bo Cixue moved Yu Luoluo into it.

Back in the banquet hall, Bo Cixue imitated how Yu Luoluo staggered toward the door after drinking too much.

The bodyguards guarding there saw the woman coming over. Seeing that it was not Bo Cixue, they did not stop her.

Bo Cixue sped out.

However, at this moment, Sikong Ling walked over and stopped her.

“Yu Luoluo, is Cixue still in the washroom?” Sikong Ling saw the two of them entering the washroom one after another.Bo Cixue covered her mouth with her hand and her delicate body stiffened.

The bodyguards only recognized clothes, but if Sikong Ling came, he would definitely find something wrong.

Just as Bo Cixue’s mind was racing, Young Master Lian came over first and put his arm around Bo Cixue’s slender shoulders. “I was just talking to another woman. Why were you so angry that you left without saying anything?”

Sikong Ling also came over and Bo Cixue could only bury her head in Young Master Lian’s chest.

Young Master Lian stiffened slightly and tightened his hold on Bo Cixue’s slender shoulders. He scolded her again with a sullen face.

Seeing that Yu Luoluo was silent, Sikong Ling thought that she must have drunk too much. “Take her back to rest quickly. I’ll go in and find Cixue.”

After Sikong Ling left, Bo Cixue pushed Young Master Lian away quickly.

Young Master Lian clicked his tongue.

When she walked out of the banquet hall, he realized that something was wrong.

Yu Luoluo was not as tall as her. The evening gown was up to her ankles, but it was only up to her legs now. Sikong Ling only had eyes for Bo Cixue and would not notice the details of where Yu Luoluo’s gown ended up.

“Are you kicking me to the curb now that I’ve outlived my usefulness?”Bo Cixue clasped her hands at Young Master Lian. “I owe you one.”

Young Master Lian looked at Bo Cixue. To her surprise, he did not ask anything and only said, “Okay, I’ll tell you when I think of what I want.”

Bo Cixue hummed and after telling him where she was, she left quickly.

After finding Ah Zuo, Bo Cixue left the Sikongs’ palace.

Sitting in the car, her temples hurt when she thought about what had happened that night.

Ah Zuo glanced at Bo Cixue through the rearview mirror. Seeing her looking out of the window with her eyebrows slightly furrowed and looking deep in thought, he said, “Miss Bo, don’t worry. His Highness will definitely protect you.”

Bo Cixue hummed softly and seemed to have thought of something. She asked Ah Zuo, “Does Miss Sikong like His Highness very much?”

Ah Zuo immediately became nervous. “Miss Bo, please don’t misunderstand. We came to Beicang for two years and have never overstepped our boundaries with Miss Sikong.”

“I’m just asking. You don’t have to be nervous.” Bo Cixue smirked. “Besides, I have nothing to do with His Highness’ private affairs.”

Ah Zuo wanted to say something, but Bo Cixue looked out of the window again.

Ah Zuo drove on, turning left and right. Bo Cixue did not ask him where he was driving. He was right. If there was any danger, Ye Jie would protect her.The car stopped at a two-storey bungalow in the suburbs.

Ah Zuo got out of the car and opened the door for Bo Cixue.

“Someone will send your luggage over later. This is the place where His Highness stays in Beicang. It’s very well-hidden and Miss Bo can rest assured and stay here.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Ah Zuo led Bo Cixue to the second floor.

Although it was a two-storey bungalow, there was only one bedroom on the second floor. There was a large cloakroom in the bedroom and a connected study.

Bo Cixue wanted to ask Ah Zuo if there was a guest room, but Ah Zuo was busy with other things and before she could chase after him, he drove away.

Forget it. This was not the time to make any trouble.

Besides, Ah Zuo also said that Ye Jie only came here occasionally.

Bo Cixue went to the balcony and sat on the daybed, looking at her phone for a while. Before long, a bodyguard brought her her luggage.

Bo Cixue did not like to wear other people’s clothes, especially when she was wearing Yu Luoluo’s gown. Not only was there the smell of red wine on her, but there was also the smell of men’s perfume. She took out her clothes from her suitcase and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Coming out of the bathroom, Bo Cixue picked up her phone and looked at it.

It was almost midnight.

She did not know what was going on with the Sikong family. Did Sikong Shan’s plan succeed?

Bo Cixue still did not receive any news until two in the morning.

She sat on the carpet by the bed, leaning against the bed to take a nap.

After some time, the sound of engines suddenly sounded from downstairs.

Bo Cixue glanced at her phone. It was four in the morning.

She hurriedly got up and went downstairs.

She had just arrived at the living room on the first floor when she saw Ah You returning with a pale Ye Jie.

Bo Cixue saw that the white shirt from Ye Jie’s right shoulder to his arm was stained red.

Bo Cixue’s pupils constricted.

“Why… are you injured?”

Ye Jie looked at Bo Cixue and pursed his lips slightly. “It’s just a small injury.”

Was it a small injury after losing so much blood?

Ah Zuo was behind and rushed over with Ye Jie’s private doctor.

Ah You helped Ye Jie into the bedroom.

Bo Cixue did not know what had happened. Although she was worried, she did not go into the bedroom.

About an hour later, Ah Zuo, Ah You and the doctor came out of the room.

“Miss Bo, do you know how to cook? Not only is His Highness injured, but he has also not rested well in the past few days and even has a high fever. He did not eat anything last night. Could I trouble…”

Before Ah Zuo could finish, Bo Cixue nodded. “I know how to cook simple porridge.”

“Sorry for troubling you. Ah You and I still have to deal with the Sikongs. Please take care of His Highness.”

“Okay.”

Bo Cixue wanted to ask Ah Zuo and Ah You what had happened at the Sikongs’ palace, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth when she saw that they were in a hurry.

She went into the bedroom to look at Ye Jie.

His eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Bo Cixue went downstairs and cooked porridge.

Since she was young, she had a chef in her house. Her father did not let her or her mother cook, saying that women’s hands were their second face.

She knew how to play the piano, draw, arrange flowers, and dance… But she did not know how to cook.

Seeing the porridge she had cooked, she sighed and put on a bold face.

“Crown Prince, I made some porridge. Have some before you sleep!”

The man on the bed did not move.

Ever since that major operation when he was young, he rarely fell sick after returning to the royal family and entering the training camp.

But this time, his illness came like a landslide.

His body was burning hot and his breath was clearly hot. Every delicate part of his body was screaming fatigue and discomfort.

Bo Cixue frowned and did not call him again.

She sat by the bed and looked at him quietly.

Although they had met tonight, she had not looked at him carefully.

This was the first time she had looked at him so carefully in three years.

Compared to three years ago, his facial features seemed to be more handsome, and he was more reserved and steady. Every line of his face and eyes were like they were drawn by a painter, looking incredibly perfect.

But now, there was a kind of sickly beauty.

He did not seem to get tanned at all. His fair skin was even more delicate than a woman’s, with no pores at all.

When he closed his eyes, his long eyelashes were like two fans.

Bo Cixue’s gaze moved from his tall nose to his well-defined scarlet lips.

Realizing that she had been staring at him for a while, she quickly looked away.

She stood at the balcony for a while outside. When she returned to the bedroom, she found that the person on the bed was trembling.

Bo Cixue looked around but did not find many blankets. She went to the cloakroom and took out two of his jackets to put over the blanket.

But he was still trembling.

Bo Cixue had never seen him so weak before.

Seeing him trembling, her mind seemed to short-circuit. She subconsciously took off her clothes, climbed into the blanket, and hugged him.

Ye Jie felt uncomfortable and confused. In his daze, he felt a source of heat approaching him and there was a constant warmth coming from there.

He could smell a faint fragrance.

In such warmth, he gradually stopped shivering.
