Chapter 1081 (Everyone Seems to Hate Me)
'Everything I did just now was for the family to see.'
'But now it's a bit different because this young lady has set her eyes on you, so I must obtain you. The benefits of having you are just too numerous! Ye Juetian, I will make you completely fall in love with me!'
"Being forced into marriage is quite painful, isn't it?" Gong Yue sighed deeply, trying to find a common topic to enter Ye Juetian's heart.
Gong Yue, at such a young age, reaching the pinnacle, proved her outstanding abilities; her mind was exceptionally clear.
Ye Juetian paused and whispered, "You don't seem to be against it."
"Who says that? I also detest forced marriages like this. If two people have no emotional connection living together, it's akin to living in misery."
"You're right. Living together without love is indeed painful," Ye Juetian agreed softly.
"It seems our opinions align," Gong Yue smiled slightly, speculating why Ye Juetian was so opposed. Her beauty and strength were outstanding, so if he didn't appreciate her, there must be someone else in his heart.
If that was the case, it would be difficult to handle! For her, it would be very unfavourable!
Ye Juetian forced a laugh a few times and fell silent again.
"There's a girl you like, right?" Gong Yue took the initiative to ask.
Ye Juetian hesitated but didn't say anything.
"You don't need to say; I can guess. Actually, I can understand. Being unable to stay with the one you love is a kind of torment."
"Both of us are helpless. Maybe I can help you," Gong Yue wanted to know now who the girl Ye Juetian liked. If he could compare her to herself, she believed that girl must be outstanding.
"How can you help me?" Ye Juetian subconsciously asked.
However, with just this question, Gong Yue knew her speculation was correct. There was indeed a girl he liked, and that would be a big problem.
Having finally encountered such an extraordinary person, even if she couldn't become his wife, she must become his younger brother's wife!
Even if she had to use any means!
"If you want me to help you, I can help you with anything," Gong Yue said softly, looking up at the sky of the Voidless Empire at a 45-degree angle. This 45-degree tilt was indeed very charming.
Ye Juetian didn't say anything. He still didn't know if he could trust this woman. What if she went to report everything? That would harm Yi Yi, right?
Smart Gong Yue didn't rush to speak. She silently followed behind Ye Juetian, pondering how to integrate into this big family.
Ye Juetian went straight back to his sleeping palace, and of course, Gong Yue followed in. She was contemplating how to fit into this unfamiliar place.
"Aren't you going back to rest?" Ye Juetian turned and asked curiously.
Gong Yue shrugged, "Go back? Can I still go back?"
"Sorry," Ye Juetian said helplessly. It was all because of him that this girl was captured, or rather, deceived.
Gong Yue chuckled, "You don't need to apologise to me. Perhaps it's fate. I left my parents, came to this unfamiliar place, and am going to marry a stranger like you. I don't know what life will be like in the future."
"If you want to go back, I'll talk to my big brother," Ye Juetian said softly.
Gong Yue chuckled softly, "Do you think I can survive going back?"
This statement from Gong Yue was a bit exaggerated, but having witnessed Wei Chang's skills, Gong Yue knew this place was like a dangerous place, and there was no way to escape.
So saying this now had a bit of a pitiful implication.
However, Ye Juetian deeply believed in this statement. After all, his big brother's character was evident, even his father had been disciplined...
Ye Hua would say, "I never kill, indiscriminately."
"If you're tired, rest inside. I'll sit outside," Ye Juetian said as he headed towards the pavilion.
Gong Yue did not rest. She followed Ye Juetian to the pavilion and sat down, reaching for the tea set to make tea.
"Right now, I'm the only one who can help you," Gong Yue poured a cup of tea for Ye Juetian.
"Can I trust you?" Ye Juetian asked.
"If you still want to have contact with her, there's no other way but to trust me. Unless you want to never see her again in your life."
How could he? How could he go a lifetime without seeing Yi Yi?
With her covering for him, he could feel at ease. Yi Yi was so upset today; he must see her, and he couldn't communicate through mirrors anymore.
Ye Juetian made up his mind and said firmly, "You're right. I have someone I like, and she is still in the palace."
"In the palace?" Gong Yue exclaimed, finding it hard to believe.
"Yes, she's just an ordinary palace maid now."
Gong Yue: "..."
She was actually compared unfavourably to a mere palace maid! It was truly unbelievable. What kind of palace maid was she to bewitch him like this?
Ye Juetian was still too young. To divulge such matters to Gong Yue showed his youthfulness. Gong Yue's cunning was not to be underestimated. She wasn't causing trouble yet; she even wanted him to seek her help.
"What do you plan to do now?" Gong Yue stabilised her mood; this matter needed careful consideration and couldn't be rushed.
"My mother and big brother disapprove. They despise her for being an ordinary person. For now, I can only keep it hidden. Do you understand?"
"Understood," Gong Yue certainly understood. This was a case of mismatched social status, and only she could match up with Ye Juetian.
"So, will you help me?" Ye Juetian looked at Gong Yue with hopeful eyes.
Gong Yue showed a reassuring smile, even holding Ye Juetian's hand, saying softly, "Rest assured, I will definitely help you."
Ye Juetian was very touched; finally, someone was willing to help him.
"Thank you. Tonight, I plan to sneak out and see Yi Yi. You can help me keep it a secret," Ye Juetian said.
"Sure, I'll help you keep it a secret," Gong Yue replied with a sweet smile.
"Yeah, that's great!"
Seeing Ye Juetian so happy, like a child, Gong Yue felt a bit uneasy. Why was he laughing so joyfully for an ordinary girl? Who was she exactly?
In the middle of the night, Ye Juetian sneaked out, as he had already arranged with Yi Yi.
"Yi Yi!" Ye Juetian called out softly as he saw Yi Yi waiting early.
Yi Yi turned to look at Ye Juetian and rushed towards him without hesitation, then fiercely threw herself into Ye Juetian's arms, holding him tightly.
"Ye Ye... Ye Ye... my heart hurts."
"I'm sorry, Yi Yi. I've caused you pain. Is your hand feeling better?" Ye Juetian quickly checked Yi Yi's hand, which was still a bit red but clearly showing signs of improvement.
Yi Yi nodded, "Much better. Ye Ye, I've done a lot of wrong things today. Your mother doesn't like me, and your big brother doesn't like me either. Everyone seems to hate me.
