Chapter 1959 - Afraid Now?
Chapter 1959: Afraid Now?
Bo Cixue’s skin was fair and tender, and after being rubbed by him like that, it turned red very quickly.
Bo Cixue was a little dazed and did not understand the meaning of his actions.
After all, he had never done such a thing before.
Her face was covered with makeup and thoughts were running in her mind. She was worried that he would mess up her makeup and the powder would stain his handkerchief, and she was flustered by his strange actions.
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, she raised her fair hands to push him away.
Her smooth fingers touched his hand and she was slightly stunned.
After they grew up, their fingertips barely touched each other.
She knew that he did not like to be touched casually.
But he had touched her first and she still needed to be presentable. Did he want her disfigured?
Bo Cixue grabbed his hand and pulled it down. “How did I offend you? You’re hurting me.”
Seeing that the area she had wiped was red, he frowned slightly and let go of her.
Bo Cixue immediately let go of his hand.
She touched her stinging cheek and glared at him angrily.
What he did not know was that her clear and watery doe eyes seemed to have a hook when she glared at him, as if she wanted to steal his soul.
He looked at her angry face but instead of apologizing, he smiled.
He rarely smiled, but when he did, there was a very faint dimple on his left cheek.
When she was young, Bo Cixue had seen him smile a few times and she would be smitten every time.
Using the words she used when she was young, he looked like Prince Charming from a comic book.
But now, Bo Cixue was not charmed but was even angrier.
Where was his gentlemanliness?
“What are you laughing at? Have I offended you with my face…” In a flash, she suddenly remembered that after she and Sikong Ling danced, Sikong Ling kissed her face in public.
It seemed to be on the side of his face he had just wiped.
However, she would never think that he was interested in her or jealous.
His action just now was probably from a brother’s angle and seeing her being taken advantage of in public!
Bo Cixue found the reason for his anger and was about to say something when she heard his cold voice. “Are you and Sikong Ling a couple?”
Given his understanding of her, she would never be smiling so brightly after Sikong LIng kissed her in public if they were not a couple.
When Bo Cixue heard him questioning her in such a tone, the anger that had dissipated rose again.
Before she turned eighteen, she had never dared to lose her temper or speak loudly in front of him.
She had always followed the instructions of the servants in the palace and was a well-behaved and gentle young lady.
Only then would she be worthy of the Crown Prince.
Bo Cixue thought that she would not lose her temper or get angry in front of him in this lifetime, let alone speak loudly.
But now, she heard herself shouting at him fiercely, “What has my relationship with Sikong Ling got to do with the Crown Prince? He can kiss me if he wants and can come into my room tonight if he wants. What does it have to do with you?”
After she shouted, the air seemed to have frozen.
She looked at the man’s dark eyes and felt a chill on her neck.
She thought that his impression of her must be terrible now!
She had nothing to lose anyway. After sending that wrong message last night, she had already become a retard!
Seeing that he was silent, his scarlet lips pursed and his thin jaw was slightly tight, she could not see that he was angry, but the deep color in his eyes seemed to be telling her that he was angry.
Well, he was the Crown Prince. Who would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him?
In order to maintain her aura, Bo Cixue said quickly, “I’m going into the banquet hall.”
“Break up with him.” She had just turned around when she heard his cold voice.
After hearing what Sikong Shan said to the butler, Bo Cixue already had the idea of not getting too close to the Sikong family.
But his matter-of-fact tone made her angry again.
She did not turn back, merely saying coldly, “Your Highness, I’m not Tiantian.”
She was reminding him that even if their families were close, she was not his sister.
Only her parents could care about who she was with.
How could Ye Jie not understand what she meant? He looked at her slender back and said, “I’m sure you know that the Sikong family will be in a mess and that the head of the Sikong family knows that you came here. If I’m right, the Sikong family will use you to threaten me if the plan doesn’t work.”
Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat.
Using her to threaten him?
It seemed like the governor had investigated clearly about their relationship, but didn’t he find out that he didn’t like her at all?
However, with Ye Jie’s personality, he would protect her even if he did not like her.
Bo Cixue was not someone who would throw a tantrum for no reason. She turned back to look at him. “What should we do now?”
Ye Jie looked at her face that was still slightly red and smiled faintly. “Are you scared now?”
“I’m not afraid.”
He looked at her and vaguely felt that she was different from before.
But now was not the time to think about this. His clear voice sounded. “Think of a way to leave later. I’ll get Ah Zuo to send you away.”
“Oh.”
Looking at her obedient appearance, his low and cold voice softened. “Go to the banquet hall first.”
Bo Cixue said nothing more and prepared to leave in her high heels.
After a few steps, she suddenly thought of Sikong Shan’s words.
She turned back and glanced at the man standing there.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But putting aside his status, just his appearance and bearing were enough to charm any woman.
No wonder Sikong Shan wanted to use such a low-level plan.
Looking at Bo Cixue’s hesitation, Ye Jie seemed to have thought of something and a trace of maliciousness appeared in his eyes. “Her plan won’t succeed.”
In other words, he was not someone who could be easily tricked.
Bo Cixue laughed lazily. “Who’s worried about this? As a man, you won’t be at a disadvantage even if you get tricked.”
Seeing the coldness on his face like the anger of a king, she shrank back and left.
…
After she walked a distance away, Bo Cixue heaved a sigh of relief.
It was really good to not have to be restrained in front of her and to not crave to be loved by him!
It was so good that the surrounding air seemed to become fresh.
Bo Cixue walked into the banquet hall. Sikong Ling saw her and came to her side. “Cixue, where did you go just now? Did someone make trouble for you?”
Bo Cixue looked at the nervousness and care on Sikong Ling’s handsome face and sighed slightly in her heart.
She had a good impression of Sikong Ling.
Looking at him, it was obvious that he did not know what his family was thinking.
Bo Cixue shook her head. “No one made trouble for me. Go on and do whatever you have to. I’ll go eat something.”
