Chapter 1994: BlushingIn the small hall.

Nan Zhi and Xia Yanran heard the laughter in the living room and they looked at each other.

“It should be Chief Cheng.”

Ye Jie, who was about to walk out of the small hall, stopped and turned to look at Nan Zhi. “Chief Cheng?”

Nan Zhi said, “Yes, he’s gentlemanly, young, and handsome. If he really gets together with Little Apple, they’ll be a talented and beautiful couple. They’re a very good match.”

Ye Jie narrowed his dark eyes and clenched his jaw, turning and leaving the small hall.

Nan Zhi and Xia Yanran also came out.

Cheng Yan stood up from the sofa and greeted them.

Apart from the Crown Prince’s slightly cold attitude, everyone else was rather friendly.

Nan Zhi glanced at Ye Jie and seeing his cold expression, she called Tiantian over and said to Yan Hua, “Huahua, we’ll go back first.”

Yan Hua sent them to the door.

After Ye Jie went out, he walked to the side and called Tang Mo.

Tang Mo was playing mahjong with several young men in the clubhouse. Ye Jie was usually busy with work and had little time to gather. Besides, he did not like having a night life, so Tang Mo did not dare to call him unless he suggested it.

“Why, you have time to meet tonight? I’m in the clubhouse. Do you want to come over and play?”

Ye Jie lifted his hand to tug at the buttons on his shirt, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he said coldly, “Cheng Yan is your Old Master’s main doctor, right? Call him away.”

Tang Mo was speechless.

“No, my Old Master’s health has been quite good recently.”

“Just find a reason. I’ll give you two minutes.”

Tang Mo was speechless. He really could not understand how Cheng Yan had offended this young master.

Nan Zhi had brought a chauffeur over. She got into a car and Tiantian took Ye Jie’s car back.

The car had just left the Bo family villa when Cheng Yan’s car drove out.

Tiantian leaned against the car window, humming in confusion.

“Brother, why did that Chief Cheng leave?” Tiantian seemed to have found a secret and said happily, “It must be because Sister Apple thinks he’s not as good as you.”

Ye Jie crossed his long legs, his well-defined fingers tapping on his knee casually. “You know Chief Cheng?”

“I know. I heard from Mom and Auntie Yan that Chief Cheng wanted to come over for dinner but was delayed because of something urgent at the hospital. Mom and Auntie Yanran came to check on Sister Apple.”

Tiantian blinked at Ye Jie. “That’s why I sent you a message.”

Ye Jie looked at his sweet and playful sister, his lips curling slightly. “What do you want? Tell Ah Zuo and he will buy it for you.”

“Okay.” Seeming to have thought of something, Tiantian said to Ye Jie, “Brother, you’d better not find our teacher to change my seat tomorrow.”

Although that deskmate of hers was very despicable, he never disturbed her during class. If there were boys in other classes who sent love letters to her, he would also shout at them.

She liked to read novels and wanted to read them quietly after class. In the past, there would always be boys who would call her out for no reason, confess, or deliver food to her. Sometimes, when she was absorbed in her reading, she would be especially unhappy if she was disturbed.

From the looks of it, her deskmate was not that evil.

Ye Jie did not ask Tiantian the reason and smirked. “Okay, let me know if you need me.”

Tiantian leaned her head on Ye Jie’s shoulder and raised her phone, taking a photo.

Tiantian knew that Ye Jie did not like to take photos, so she did not take photos of his face, only of her leaning against his shoulder.

She posted on her social media.

“Brother’s shoulders are so warm.”

There was a photo of her leaning against Ye Jie’s shoulder playfully.

Someone immediately liked the post.

A few minutes later, she saw that Bo Cixue liked the post.

Ye Jie also saw Bo Cixue’s praise from the corner of his eye.

“Tiantian, lend me your phone.”

Tiantian passed her phone to Ye Jie and was sleepy. “Brother, I’ll sleep for a while.”

Ye Jie lowered his eyes and opened Bo Cixue’s WeChat.

The more he read, the more his eyes darkened and he frowned.

Especially when he saw photos of her having a good time during summer vacation and going to M Country.

He commented on them one by one.

[Too revealing]

[Too skinny]

[Heavy makeup]

[The scenery looks good]

…

Bo Cixue was looking at her phone when she suddenly realized that there were many messages on her posts. She clicked on them and her eyes widened.

What was wrong with Tiantian?

She had said that her photos were good looking, but why was she now saying that they were too revealing when she was walking on the beach in a halter dress?

She even said that she was too thin when she was wearing a loose t-shirt that exposed her long legs?

She looked at the comments one by one, all of which were filled with two words. In fact, she had even praised the scenery instead of her beauty.

This was not like Tiantian who had such a sweet tongue.

Bo Cixue sent a video call over.

She had sent it wrongly and wanted to change it to voice mode, but the call went through.

Seeing the man in the camera, Bo Cixue froze.

She guessed that someone had taken Tiantian’s phone.

However, for a person like him who only appeared on WeChat once in a hundred years to comment, it was really strange.

Bo Cixue thought of his comments about her and held in her breath. “Why are you holding Tiantian’s phone?”

“With her permission.” He looked at her, his expression calm and his eyes dark.

Bo Cixue saw that he was staring at her like he wanted to suck her in. She turned her face away and coughed. “Don’t use Tiantian’s phone to comment on my posts.”

“You blocked me,” he stated flatly.

Bo Cixue said, “None of your comments were good. Anyway, why do you care if I block you or not since you don’t think they look good?”

He looked at her and smiled faintly, the dimple on his left cheek appearing faintly.

Bo Cixue glared at him. “What are you laughing at?”

“You look beautiful in person.”

Bo Cixue blushed immediately.

Before he could say anything, she hung up hurriedly.

She lay on the sofa and only calmed herself down after a while.

But she still could not sleep at night.

Her phone screen lit up.

It was a message from someone who rarely went on WeChat. “Remember to unblock me. Goodnight.”

Bo Cixue looked at a certain someone’s WeChat profile photo. It was the side profile of his face in a pair of sunglasses.

He was well-defined, handsome, and had a high nose bridge. His sunglasses covered his deep eyes, making him look mysterious and charming.

She would rate this side profile a hundred percent.

Bo Cixue looked at him wearing the sunglasses she had given him and her face was a little red. She tapped her fingers a few times and unblocked him from her WeChat.

Turning off the phone, she lay on the pillow, her lips curling up unconsciously.

…

Bo Cixue was woken up by Yan Hua in the morning.

“Aren’t you going to work at the research institute? You’ll be late if you don’t get up.”

“Ah, I actually forgot about work!” Bo Cixue lifted the blanket and rushed into the bathroom.

Yan Hua had already bought her professional attire for her first day of work before she returned.

After Bo Cixue changed into her professional makeup, Yan Hua helped her put on makeup.

“It’s respectful to others to show up well-dressed.”

“Mom, I work in the research institute and often have to work overtime…” Bo Cixue saw Yan Hua frowning and could not bear to continue.” But you’re right, you have to be energetic on your first day of work. ”

Bo Cixue drove to the research institute herself.

When she arrived, the other two new staff had already arrived.

There were three people hired—two women and one man.

The other woman was a few years older than Bo Cixue and had a doctorate. When the director of the research institute introduced Bo Cixue as having only a bachelor’s degree, there was obvious disdain in her eyes.

Bo Cixue did not know why she had been accepted.

Indeed, with her educational background, she should not have been hired.

“Let’s get to know each other first. I have something important to announce later,” the director said as he entered the office.

Bo Cixue took a cup and went to the pantry to pour a cup of coffee.

When she returned to the office, she heard the new female colleague talking to the male colleague.

The female colleague said, “With how she looks, she doesn’t look like she’s in the research industry. She’s just here as a vase to be used as a decoration. Seeing that she’s wearing top-grade brands from head to toe, she must have come from a very good family. Those rich people like to send their children to the research center to embarrass themselves.”

The male colleague said, “You sound a little jealous. We’ll see if she’s actually capable.”

Bo Cixue came over and looked at the female colleague with a smile that did not reach her eyes. “Sister Song, what are you talking about?”

When she heard Bo Cixue calling her ‘Sister’, her expression changed.

But she could not say anything about Bo Cixue. After all, the youngest person in the research institute was already Bo Cixue.

When she returned to her seat, she ignored Bo Cixue. The male colleague, Yan Yu, looked at Bo Cixue with slight awkwardness. “Everything depends on her performance in the future. I’m friends with her and she’s a little arrogant. In order to get into the research institute, she did two years of preparation. You might not know, but there were only two newbies in the research institute and she almost could not get in.”

Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows.

Song Man had nearly been eliminated, but she had come in. Had someone really opened a back door for her?

The director walked out with a document in his hand. “Xiaobo, Xiaosong, Xiaoyan, take a look at this document and prepare yourselves after reading it. Go home and collect some things and take a taxi to the military training ground in the afternoon.”

Bo Cixue and the others were stunned after reading the document.

W-What happened? She came out to work and had to go to the devil’s base for half a month for military training?

It was especially unacceptable for Song Man. She said excitedly, “Sir, I don’t think there’s a need for military training for employees of the research lab, right? Why are we making an exception?”

The director said authoritatively, “This time it’s not just our research institute. It’s the same for all the newbies hired by the other departments of the royal family. Xiaosong, don’t just think about suffering and being tired. When the military training is over, you will think that this trip is worth it. Okay, go and get ready!”

Bo Cixue was not that against it, but she felt that something was wrong and strange when it turned from work to military training.
