  The Gao family told her about the scandal Ye Yiren had caused.

  Madam Ye was not someone to be trifled with and had already investigated Gao Tai thoroughly.

  Neither side gave in, but in the end, they were unwilling to hold a funeral for Ye Yiren.

  Ye Qingcheng had come with Madam Ye and only now did she feel what it meant to be cold and heartless.

  The Gao family and her mother’s actions made her heart turn cold.

  Although she had a bad relationship with Ye Yiren since she was young, she was no longer around. Wasn’t she supposed to let people rest in peace?

  What was the point of criticizing other people’s mistakes and scandals?

  Ye Qingcheng pulled Ye Xuan aside. “Can you discuss with Mother to bring Ye Yiren’s body back to the country?”


  Ye Xuan shook his head. “The presidential palace will never accept her after those scandals. Besides, she’s married to the Gao family. She will be a member of the Gao family when she’s alive and a ghost of the Gao family when she dies.”


  Ye Qingcheng frowned. “But the Gao family is unwilling…”


  Before Ye Qingcheng could finish, an angry shout suddenly sounded. “Stop arguing!”


  After Ye Yiren’s accident, Gao Tai, who had been in the room, came out. He looked a little haggard. “She’s gone. Counting her past mistakes will only make her die with regrets. If you don’t want to bury her, I’ll bury her.”


  Mrs Gao looked at Gao Tai. “Ah Tai, this…”


  “Alright, stop talking! Although some of the things Yiren did were disappointing, are we really going to argue with a dead person?”


  Mrs Gao looked at Gao Tai, who seemed to have grown up overnight, and nodded with a heavy expression.

  …


  A month passed in the blink of an eye.

  There would be new news in the capital every day. The news of Ye Yiren being poisoned to death soon stopped becoming a topic of conversation.

  Ye Qingcheng and Su Qianqian’s bet was not carried out because of Ye Yiren’s death.

  Ye Qingcheng had been very depressed a while ago and had not deliberately lost weight, but she had lost a lot of weight.

  After putting on makeup, she did not look much different from four years ago.

  Madam Ye had lost a daughter and was now very strict with Ye Qingcheng.

  After Ye Yiren’s death, Ye Qingcheng finally understood what it meant to prioritize benefits. In the royal family, benefits always seemed to be in front of kinship.

  It had only been a month, but Madam Ye could not wait to choose another marriage for Ye Qingcheng.

  Ye Qingcheng sent a message to her best friends. “I’m going to escape.”


  Nan Xun was confused.

  Tang Wu was confused.

  Bo Cixue was confused.

  Ye Qingcheng: “I want to escape to a place where I can breathe freely. Sisters, in order to not be tracked by my family, I’m leaving the group temporarily.”


  Before the other three could say anything, Ye Qingcheng had already left the group.

  Nan Xun: “She really retired? Is she really going to escape?”


  Bo Cixue: I respect her and wish her success.

  Tang Wu: “The sisters in this group are really tough!”


  Ye Qingcheng was born in the royal family. If she wanted to escape, she really needed courage!

  There was a knock on the door and Yan Hua pushed open Bo Cixue’s bedroom door. Seeing her lying on the bed looking at her phone, she walked in with a smile. “Get up and have some red date soup.”


  Bo Cixue sat up and took the bowl from Yan Hua. She took a sip and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. “It’s really delicious.”


  Yan Hua looked at Bo Cixue lovingly. “Drink more. There’s more downstairs.”


  “You can’t be greedy even if it’s good. What if I gain weight?”


  “I hope you gain some weight. Have you lost weight again recently?”


  She was fine at home, but her mother did not allow her to eat less every day. She could not slim down even if she wanted to.

  “I’ve been practicing boxing recently. The instructor said that I have a standard figure and am not thin.” Bo Cixue blinked at Yan Hua and pouted. “Mom, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”


  “Tell me.”


  “I’ve taken a fancy to a house in the city center. It’s renovated and you can move in with your bag if you buy it. It’s quite close to the research institute and the security is strict. It’s super convenient.”


  Yan Hua flicked Bo Cixue’s forehead. “No.”


  Bo Cixue only dared to tell Yan Hua about wanting to move out after a long time.

  Although her home was very good, she wanted to have her own space.

  “Mom, I’m already 22 years old. I’m not a child anymore. Let me go out and be independent!” Bo Cixue hugged Yan Hua’s arm and shook it. “Mom, can I come back this weekend?”


  Yan Hua looked at Bo Cixue and pondered for a moment. “I saw your Auntie Nan Zhi two days ago and talked about you and Xiaojie. Our parents wanted you to get engaged first.”


  Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat.

  Engagement?

  She had only been dating Brother Xiaojie for a few months. Wasn’t it too soon to get engaged? Although she had mentioned it the night of Ye Yiren’s accident.

  There was still an indescribable anticipation and fluttering in her heart when she changed from a girlfriend to a fiancée.

  However, at the thought that he seemed to be troubled recently, Bo Cixue did not know if it was the best time to get engaged.

  “Since we’re engaged, I won’t say anything if you go out to stay.”


  Bo Cixue was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what her mother meant.

  “Mom, I’m not going out to live with Brother Xiaojie…” Her fair and exquisite face turned red.

  Yan Hua pulled Bo Cixue into her arms and patted her back lightly. “I know Xiaojie is not that kind of person, but from a parent’s point of view, I just want my daughter to be happy in the future. Now that all the noble families in the capital know about your relationship with Xiaojie, I’m afraid there will be rumors if you move out alone without a proper status.”


  Bo Cixue snuggled in Yan Hua’s arms and looked up, her clear doe eyes slightly shy. “Then will Brother Xiaojie agree?”


  “I heard from your Auntie Nan that he acquiesced.”


  Bo Cixue could not help but smile.

  ….

  Bo Cixue thought that the engagement would not be too soon, but during the weekend, Ye Jie called her. “The two families will have dinner together tonight. I’ll pick you up at the research institute.”


  When it was time to get off work, Bo Cixue went to the garage downstairs.

  Seeing his car, she went over to open the door.

  He was looking at his phone in the back row and when he heard the sound, his dark eyes looked at her.

  “Are the two families having dinner together tonight?” Before they confirmed their relationship, it was normal for the two families to eat. However, after becoming a couple, it seemed to be the first time they were eating officially. Bo Cixue was more or less nervous.

  Ye Jie smirked. “About the engagement.”


  Bo Cixue’s heart thumped and her long and thick eyelashes fluttered. “Actually, we don’t have to get engaged so soon.”


  He put down his phone and held her hand. “Don’t you want to get engaged to me?”


  Bo Cixue was stunned for a moment before she shook her head, her beautiful face slightly red. “I never thought of it that way.”.
