Chapter 2040: Cold War

Bo Cixue took the elevator, went downstairs, and got into the car.

Ye Jie was too late.

When he arrived downstairs, Bo Cixue had already driven the car away.

He quickly got into his car, started the engine and chased after her.

Bo Cixue drove very fast, her red lips pursed tightly, and her eyes were unprecedentedly cold.

After a while, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Ye Jie, she rejected the call.

A moment later, a text message came in.

“Drive slowly.”

She continued to ignore him.

A few seconds later, another message came in.

“Don’t you want to listen to my explanation?”

Bo Cixue turned off her phone.

Didn’t she go over to listen to his explanation?

However, she ran away before he could explain himself.

She knew she was running away.

She was afraid to hear an explanation she did not want to hear.

Her eyes filled with tears unconsciously.

She stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up.

But no matter how fast she was, the black car behind would follow her at a distance.

Bo Cixue drove straight back to the Bo family’s house.

She was faster than the black car. After entering the door, she instructed the guard, “Don’t let the car behind in. You can’t let people in either.”

The guard nodded, thinking that Bo Cixue was being followed by a bad person.

But when that black car came, the guard was dumbfounded.

She was talking about the Crown Prince!

As the guard refused to open the door for Ye Jie, his face turned pale.

Ye Jie knew that Bo Cixue had given the order and did not make things difficult for the guard.

After getting out of the car, he stood at the gate and looked at the villa.

He did not leave immediately. He took a cigarette from the car and started to smoke with a frown.

Not too long later, a silver car drove over.

The car window was lowered and Yan Hua’s well-maintained face appeared. “Xiaojie?”

Ye Jie stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and nodded at Yan Hua. “Auntie Yan.”

“Why are you here…” There was a trace of doubt in Yan Hua’s eyes.

Ye Jie’s expression was calm, making it difficult to read his thoughts. “Something happened that made Cixue angry and I wanted to explain it to her.”

Yan Hua glanced at the guard. Little Apple must have instructed them not to let Ye Jie in.

“That girl sometimes has a bad temper, but her temper comes and goes quickly. I’ll go back and see her first.”

Ye Jie nodded.

Yan Hua returned to the villa and went upstairs to knock on Bo Cixue’s door.

Bo Cixue took a shower after returning home. She was wearing home clothes and wiped her hair as she opened the door.

“Mom.”

Yan Hua looked at Bo Cixue and told her about Ye Jie being outside.

“I rarely see you angry at Xiaojie. What did he do to make you keep him outside?”

Bo Cixue shook her head. “Mom, it’s nothing.”

Now that the child was grown up, Yan Hua could not ask about her privacy. “I will always be willing to listen as long as you want to tell me about it.”

Bo Cixue hummed with red eyes.

…

Bo Cixue ignored Ye Jie for a week.

She had been doing a study recently. Although Lan Nuo’s life was not in danger after he fell seriously ill, his brain development seemed to be incomparable to those of his age.

Bo Cixue wanted to develop a sensor chip that might be useful for people with slower development. If it was successful, it would also help patients with slower development and even slower speech.

Bo Cixue worked overtime in the research institute for several nights and wrote out her plan.

The director of the research institute had seen Bo Cixue’s report and felt that it was difficult to implement.

Song Man had also handed over a proposal a few days ago. Compared to Bo Cixue’s, it would be much more realistic to implement Song Man’s proposal.

Bo Cixue fought hard and the director decided to give her a chance to compete fairly with Song Man.

During the meeting, the director mentioned Bo Cixue and Song Man’s research projects.

Many colleagues were interested in Song Man’s project and expressed their willingness to join her team.

On the other hand, Bo Cixue’s project sounded a little unbelievable. No colleagues were willing to join her team.

There was a smug look in Song Man’s eyes.

Although she admired Bo Cixue’s tenacity, she still felt that Bo Cixue was not as capable as her.

Bo Cixue stood up and was about to fight for her colleagues to join her when Yan Yu stood up. “I’ll be on your team!”

Surprise filled her eyes. “Yan Yu, don’t you think my project would be better?”

Yan Yu said, “I like challenges.”

After Yan Yu stood up, a newcomer also stood up. “I’ll join too.”

Bo Cixue nodded. “Thank you. Let’s work hard together.”

Although only two colleagues joined Bo Cixue’s project, Bo Cixue was already satisfied.

Once Bo Cixue started to work seriously, she would forget about everything else.

It was already the tenth day of their cold war when she received Ye Jie’s call.

During this period, he had called her a few times. After she did not answer, he did not look for her again.

This time, he called her using an unknown phone.

The moment she answered the call and heard his voice, Bo Cixue froze.

It was too late to hang up.

“You’ve been busy recently and I’ve been busy too. I think it’s good for everyone to be busy with their own things.”

The man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. “You sentenced me to death without giving me a chance to explain?”

“Aren’t the two of you hugging each other already? Are you going to tell me that someone took a fake photo?”

“Am I that untrustworthy?”

Bo Cixue was silent.

It was not that he was not worthy of her trust, but she was not confident in their feelings.

To put it bluntly, she had her reasons.

She felt that he had not liked her for so many years and even if he had a little good impression now, it would not last long.

Bo Cixue said nothing.

“Alright, I understand.”

He hung up.

Bo Cixue’s eyes turned red and the data on the computer screen turned into a blur.

She supported her forehead with her hand, the urge to cry overwhelming her.

…

Half an hour later.

The director came out of the office. “The Crown Prince is coming over to inspect your work. All of you must be energized and tidy. Don’t touch up your makeup on purpose, female colleagues. This is a serious place. You must let the Crown Prince see your working ability.”

Bo Cixue had just adjusted her mood and her heart skipped a beat when she heard the director’s words.

Why was he suddenly coming to visit?

Bo Cixue could not focus on her work and took out her phone to chat with her best friends.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside.

Ye Jie came alone.

Bo Cixue knew it was him just by hearing footsteps. She did not look up and put the phone on her knee, her expression cold and her head lowered.

After Ye Jie came in, he walked toward Bo Cixue’s desk without caring about the director’s surprised gaze.
