Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 2041: Grievance

Bo Cixue felt someone walking toward her, but she did not look up.

The man’s tall body stood in front of her desk.

His slender fingers knocked on her desk.

There was a faint cold air around.

Bo Cixue knew that his dark eyes were staring fixedly at her. She also knew that she should not embarrass him at this time.

She did not know what was wrong with her, but she did not look up to greet him.

The director saw that something was wrong and hurried over.

Faced with the different gazes from his colleagues, cold sweat appeared on the director’s forehead.

On the other hand, the man standing behind Bo Cixue looked calm, as if he was not the one being ignored.

The director coughed and said to Bo Cixue, “I told the Crown Prince about your project. Although it’s not easy to realize it, the Crown Prince is interested. Take the plan and report it to the Crown Prince in the meeting room.”

Aged ginger was indeed more pungent

The director could tell that the Crown Prince did not come for work.

He had come for Bo Cixue.

Since the director had spoken, Bo Cixue could only take the proposal and bring Ye Jie to the meeting room.

She regretted her willfulness just now.

Entering the meeting room, Bo Cixue was about to give him the plan when she saw him close the door and lock it.

Bo Cixue was stunned.

Then, he pulled down the blinds.

The light in the clean meeting room dimmed.

Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows. She wanted to pull the curtains apart. What would others would think of them closing the door and windows so tightly in broad daylight?

But before she could touch the curtains, her slender wrist was grabbed by the man.

The skin between his fingers were cold, like a spring in winter.

She shivered.

Bo Cixue retracted her wrist and looked at him with a tense expression. “What are you doing? This is the research institute.” With that said, she wanted to open the door.

Ye Jie stood in front of the door, his tall body motionless and his handsome jaw tensed. “If I open the door, shall we talk in your office?”

Bo Cixue saw the dark emotions in his eyes and pursed her soft lips slightly.

Actually, no matter how emotional she had been at first, she had calmed down after over ten days.

However, she still felt suffocated at the thought of that hug in the photo.

Bo Cixue turned around and put her hands on the conference table. “Why are you here? Don’t you have someone accompanying you every day?”

Ye Jie frowned. “I don’t like her.”

Bo Cixue’s hands on the table clenched into fists. “Why are you still hugging her if you don’t like her? Do you mean that you’ll go to a hotel and get a room if you like her?”

There was a dead silence in the air.

Bo Cixue also realized that she had said something wrong.

However, the couple had a conflict and were still angry. Even though she knew she was in the wrong, she did not want to bow down so easily.

She held her palm tightly.

Ye Jie was silent for a moment before he walked to her side. He did not look at her but took out his phone.

He opened a video. “You sent me a link that day. After I saw it, I went to the restaurant to get the CCTV.”

“I’m sure you know about the HIP situation. Several countries sent doctors to the capital to form a medical team and develop the vaccine. Ye Yiren is one of them.”

“I didn’t know about this at first. I only found out about it when Father informed me.”

“I’ve always separated my work and private matters. No matter what happened between Ye Yiren and I, she came this time for work. I have no reason to chase her away.”

“That night, we invited the medical team for dinner. Ye Yiren drank a lot that night and I asked Ah Zuo to send her back to the hotel. Ah Zuo went to drive and I stood at the door with her. Someone bumped into her and I helped her out of courtesy.”

“From the angle the photo was taken, it looked like I was hugging her, but we weren’t actually touching. I let go of her after helping her up.”

This was the first time he had spoken such a long sentence to her.

His voice was cold and sounded a little angry.

He showed her the surveillance video.

It was indeed a group of people coming out of the restaurant after dinner. The others were all men and after greeting Ye Jie, they went to the next arranged gathering.

But Ye Yiren had drunk a little too much and shook her hand, indicating that she was not going to the next gathering, so Ye Jie instructed Ah Zuo to drive her back to the hotel.

It was as Ye Jie had said. When Ah Zuo drove over, a young man stepping on a scooter accidentally hit Ye Yiren.

From the video angle, the two of them were not hugging each other. Ye Jie merely held her arm and let go.

“As for why I went to a hotel with her, Cixue, you study computers. Can’t you tell that the person who took the photo removed all the other doctors?”

Bo Cixue bit her lip hard.

At that time, when she saw the photo, she only saw was Ye Jie and Ye Yiren, and had not noticed that the others had been removed.

The fire in Bo Cixue’s eyes slowly went out.

The fingers that were holding tightly to her palm curled up unconsciously.

She felt a little guilty from his words.

She lowered her thick and long eyelashes. “You know my personality now. I’m not gentle, I’m not considerate, I like to lose my temper, and make wild guesses. I’m in a terrible state and you still have a chance to choose…”

Before Bo Cixue could finish, her slender shoulders were held down by the man’s long hands. Before she could react, he turned her around.

The two of them stood facing each other.

In order not to lose her aura, she lifted her delicate chin and looked at him.

He had his head lowered, his handsome face very close to her, his jaw and lips slightly pursed. He did not look extremely cold, but for some reason, he made people shiver.

The aura he exuded was not what ordinary people could withstand.

He stared at her with his dark and narrow eyes. “Cixue, I’ll say it once. Ye Yiren is part of my past and I don’t like her. I won’t rekindle my feelings for her in the future.”

Bo Cixue closed her eyes, her long eyelashes slightly wet.

She did not know why she felt miserable.

She had already accepted his explanation, but she still felt sad.

“So be it. Why do you have to be so fierce?”

Actually, he was not fierce, but his tone was slightly cold when compared to usual.

She could not stand such coldness.

Ye Jie pursed his lips slightly. “You ignored me for nearly ten days, didn’t listen to my explanation, and blocked my number. Do you think I should be gentle to you?”
