She continued to be oblivious until Boole stood up, smiled, and made the introduction. âChris, let me introduce you to someone. This is Ye Sijue.â
Hearing that name, Annie jolted, and the fork she held in her hand fell onto the porcelain plate.
Her neck seemed to be frozen as she raised her head in a stiff manner and looked at the person standing in front of Boole.
Meanwhile, Boole continued with the introductions. âYe, this is Prince Chris, and the pretty little princess beside him is his fiancée, Annie.â
As soon as he finished saying that, Annieâs gaze met with a pair of deep, chilly, blue eyes.
Ye Sijue stood before her.
His face was grave and stern, and the air around him was frosty as he looked at her.
âHello.â Chris smiled. He held out and shook hands with Ye Sijue.
As Ye Sijue shook his hand, he nodded very courteously and said, âHello, Prince Chris.â
Looking at Tian Yunxin, who was standing beside Ye Sijue, Chris laughed, âMr. Ye, arenât you going to introduce your companion? How can you withhold the name of such a beautiful lady?â
Tian Yunxin had studied abroad in America, and she knew that guys over here would always say flattering things out of courtesy. But as she faced this unusually handsome prince, she was elated upon hearing him say that about her.
âIâmâ¦â She was going to say that she was Ye Sijueâs secretary.
However, Ye Sijue interrupted her. Suddenly, he put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, âShe is my companion, Miss Tian Yunxin.â
âCompanionâ seemed to mean âgirlfriendâ to the others.
Tian Yunxin was startled, but it was little compared to how happy she felt.
However, being a sensitive person, she quickly noticed something off in Ye Sijueâs eyes.
Although Young Master Ye was a man who didnât like to be involved with women, he would usually be indifferent toward them. He rarely acted like how he was acting now. There was an indescribable chilliness about him, so much so that she could feel the cold as she stood beside him.
Although Ye Sijue wasnât looking in any specific direction, Tian Yunxinâs intuition led her to glance at the person beside Chris, the princeâs fiancée.
When she first approached them, she didnât dare to cast wild glances at people as she maintained her good manners.
Thus, it was only then that she stared and had a clear look at Annie.
Immediately, Tian Yunxinâs eyes widened in amazement. âYouâ¦â
Wasnât the princeâs fiancée the same woman that Young Master Ye had brought to the company?!
She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
How could Young Master Yeâs woman become Prince Chrisâs fiancée?
Tian Yunxinâs expression that was too conspicuous. Boole smirked in amusement. Looking at the two, he laughed and asked, âMiss Tian, ââhave you met our little Princess Annie before?â
âLittle princess?â Tian Yunxin couldnât believe what she heard. This little girl actually had a noble background? How could it be!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Sijueâs brows furrowed upon hearing that.
But it was because Boole used the word âourâ when referring to Annie as though they were really close to her. A tinge of displeasure grew in him. It wasnât knowing about her identity that made him feel this way.
He had already expected that Annie would have such a background, so he wasnât surprised.
But he had never expected that the two of them would meet again under such circumstances.
Ye Sijueâs gaze deepened.
He had never heard her mention anything about her fiancé.
