  Bo Cixue looked at the black car parked not far away.

  A few seconds later, she walked toward the beach.

  A man followed behind.

  He was following her at a distance.

  Bo Cixue walked forward for a while and the man behind her followed her, saying nothing and not disturbing her.

  Bo Cixue was not as calm as him. She turned back and looked at the man who was a few steps away.

  He had his hands in his pockets, staring at her with his dark eyes.

  Their eyes met when she turned around.

  Unlike the overbearing aura he had at the wedding banquet, his scarlet lips curved slightly when he saw her looking over.

  His smile was slightly gentle and affectionate.

  Bo Cixue strode forward and came up to him, hitting his shoulder with her hand.

  “Who asked you to say that?!” The sea breeze was a little strong, blowing her long hair that was spread over her shoulders to her cheek. Using her hair as a cover, her eyes turned red. “I don’t need you to say that!”


  The people in high society loved gossip and she did not want him to be sucked into the whirlpool of gossip.

  She did not want him to be talked about!

  Ye Jie could not see Bo Cixue’s eyes. He raised his long fingers and brushed her long hair away.

  His cool fingertips touched the skin on her cheek, the coolness and warmth interlaced with each other.

  He felt that something was wrong the moment he touched it.

  “Cixue, you have a fever.”


  Bo Cixue was furious that he did not answer. She clenched her fists and punched him again.

  He grabbed her fist and pulled her into his arms.

  She struggled but could not break free.

  A light and pleasant fragrance filled her nose and she felt a lump in her throat.

  Unable to break away, she punched his chest a few more times.

  “I made you suffer in the past.”


  Bo Cixue sniffed and adjusted her mood. “I’m not aggrieved. Feelings can’t be forced. Do you have to like me if I like you? I’m not so naive and foolish.”


  “Those people think that I’m too outstanding and can only pick on this one thing. I won’t argue with a fool!”


  “Why did you have to get involved?”


  She looked up at him.

  Her eyes were wet with indignation, like a cat that had been provoked.

  His eyes on her darkened. “Cixue, I hurt you. Why are you still protecting me?”


  “You’re like a god to me. I can scold you in private, but I don’t want you to be talked about by others!”


  Ye Jie raised his hand and rubbed her head. “Silly girl.”


  Bo Cixue came out of his arms. “Don’t get involved in the next fight between women and don’t say anything about wooing me in public.”


  Without waiting for him to speak, she added fiercely, “I won’t agree even if you chase me.”


  “Oh.”


  He hummed.

  Bo Cixue ignored him and walked toward her car.

  She had just reached the car door when her wrist was grabbed by him.

  “You have a cold. Take my car.” He called Ah Zuo and asked him to drive Bo Cixue’s car.

  Bo Cixue was indeed feeling a little heavy-headed. After Ye Jie pulled her into his car, she leaned against the seat and stared at the man’s side profile.

  He was handsome, luxurious, and beautiful.

  How could there be such a good-looking person in the world?

  Seeming to have sensed her gaze, Ye Jie looked at her. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”


  Bo Cixue waved her hand. “I’m going back to the research institute. I’ve prepared cold medicine there.”


  He frowned slightly. “You still want to work?”


  She hummed.

  She insisted on returning to the research institute and Ye Jie did not force her.

  The car stopped at the research institute and Bo Cixue got out of the car, waving at him. “Thank you. Go and do your work!”


  When Bo Cixue arrived at the office, Song Man and Yan Yu were there.

  Seeing Bo Cixue coming over, Song Man’s expression was not very good. “Cixue, there’s an obvious problem with the data you wrote. Now, all of our efforts in this project have gone to waste!”


  Bo Cixue turned on the computer and looked at the data, her eyes twitching.

  She had not had time to check through work when she finished writing the data after working overtime that day. The next morning, she had received a call from Nan Xun and rushed to the hotel.

  A mistake could be made with just one oversight.

  Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows. “Sister Song, don’t worry. I’ll fix the problem even if I have to forgo eating and drinking for the next two days.”


  Song Man snorted.

  She clearly did not believe that Bo Cixue could repair it in a short time. She couldn’t even do it with her skills.

  “The supervisor wants to see this the day after tomorrow.”


  Bo Cixue nodded. “I know.”


  Song Man looked at Bo Cixue seriously. “If you don’t do it, you’ll bear the responsibility and leave the research institute.”


  Bo Cixue’s lips moved. “Okay.”


  Song Man left with her bag.

  Yan Yu walked over and patted Bo Cixue’s shoulder. “I can’t help you with this part. Can you really fix it?”


  Bo Cixue smiled. “I’ll try my best.”


  Because it was the weekend, Yan Yu did not stay in the office and left after working overtime.

  The only sounds in the office were of Bo Cixue typing on the keyboard.

  This was what Ye Jie saw when he arrived at the office.

  The young and slender girl was looking at the computer intently, her slender fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard. The golden rays of light from the window landed on her white porcelain-like face and he could vaguely see small hairs on her face.

  Her long seaweed-like hair was tied into a low ponytail and there was a faint unusual flush on her cheeks.

  She was too focused and serious that she did not notice his arrival.

  He walked over and placed the thermos flask on the desk.

  Bo Cixue realized something and looked up.

  Her clear doe eyes widened slightly when she saw the man.

  “Why… did you come up?”


  If he was at work, everyone would get up and go to the door to welcome him if he appeared here.

  He looked at her and narrowed his eyes. “Did you take the medicine?”


  “I still have something to do. If I take the medicine, I’ll feel sleepy.”


  Hearing her words, his face turned sharp and his eyes turned dark. “Is this how your director exploits his employees?”


  With that said, he took out his phone, wanting to call their director.

  Seeing this, Bo Cixue hurriedly stood up, wanting to stop him. However, she got up too quickly and because of the cold, she suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall to the ground. He grabbed her quickly.

  She rested her forehead on his shoulder and said weakly, “It’s not Chief’s fault. I did something wrong because of my work. If I can’t make it up to them, I’ll feel bad.”


  Ye Jie put his arm around Bo Cixue’s shoulders and helped her to the chair.

  He took out the cold medicine and stared at her with his dark eyes. “Take the medicine first and eat something later.”


  “I don’t want to…”


  “Cixue, listen to me.”


  His gaze on her was very deep, like two whirlpools, with an attractive force that could not be rejected.
