Chapter 1066 (Yi Yi)
He lost track of time, feeling like he might doze off at any moment. Nonchalantly, he looked up, then lowered his head. Suddenly, he raised it again, utterly stunned...
Was this the same dirty woman from earlier?
Ye Juetian rubbed his eyes. Could it be a dream? Was this woman really so attractive? Indeed, she was stunning. Up until now, the woman he had encountered was unkempt, with messy hair and a dirty face, making it impossible to see their original appearance. However, after cleaning up and changing into fresh clothes, she seemed like an entirely different person.
At least, it left Ye Juetian momentarily dumbfounded. This woman was genuinely beautiful. He knew it; those lovely eyes couldn\'t belong to an ugly woman.
Ye Juetian quickly withdrew his lascivious gaze, noticing that others were also somewhat startled.
At this moment, a delicious meal was brought in, personally served by the restaurant owner. When the owner saw the woman, he too was momentarily stunned. Was this the dirty woman who had entered earlier? Surely, she must be someone else.
"Your Majesty, enjoy your meal."
"Mm."The owner respectfully exited the room.
The woman looked at the dishes on the table, swallowed saliva, seemingly eager to eat. However, she still needed Ye Juetian\'s permission.
"Don\'t just stand there, start eating," Ye Juetian said softly. A beauty like her had been ridiculed on the street; it was truly speechless.
The woman felt joy in her heart, quickly sat down, and began devouring the food, as if she hadn\'t eaten for months.
Ye Juetian, watching her eat, noticed the faint traces of beatings on her fair arms. It was truly pitiable.
"What\'s your name?" Ye Juetian curiously asked.
The woman abruptly stopped eating, looking up at Ye Juetian.
Being so close to admire a beauty made Ye Juetian somewhat surprised.
After a long while, without saying a word, the woman looked at Ye Juetian.
Curiously, Ye Juetian asked, "Can you speak?"
"Yes." Her voice was lovely, with a captivating charm.
Ye Juetian quite liked her voice. To be precise, he liked everything about her, but there was the issue of status...
After a prolonged silence, the woman spoke, "I... I don\'t know. I\'ve forgotten."
"Do you remember anything? Your family? Where are they?" Ye Juetian asked.
The woman shook her head, indicating that she truly didn\'t remember anything.
Ye Juetian sighed softly and asked, "After finishing your meal, do you have any plans?"
"Are you abandoning me?" The woman\'s eyes looked at Ye Juetian, and a mist of tears instantly welled up in those beautiful eyes.
Ye Juetian was puzzled, "When did I say I wanted you?"
"But... you asked me to follow you. I followed you, so I am yours."
\'What logic is this? Can your thoughts be a bit more rational? I didn\'t mean that at all.\'
Yet, facing such a beautiful woman, who looked at you with those pitiful eyes, asking if you don\'t want her anymore, it was truly heart-wrenching to refuse.
But was Ye Juetian such a lustful man? Clearly not. He needed to maintain a proper attitude in such situations.
"Miss, you\'ve misunderstood," he said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman\'s chopsticks fell onto the table, and tears of helplessness flowed from the corners of her eyes. "Since you don\'t want me, why did you ask me to follow you?"
What kind of logic is this? Can it be interpreted this way too?
Ye Juetian felt like he had just witnessed an extraordinary understanding of things.
"Miss, I think you\'ve really misunderstood. I didn\'t mean that," Ye Juetian clarified.
After hearing this, the woman lowered her head slightly, no longer saying a word. A desolate atmosphere filled the entire room.
Ye Juetian didn\'t know how to resolve this. He truly wanted to ask his elder brother how to handle such situations.
If it were up to Ye Hua, without considering marriage, casual dating was fine. If considering marriage, then caution was needed.
"Where are your family members?"
The woman shook her head.
Ye Juetian was in a dilemma. On one hand, he genuinely liked this woman\'s type, and having a brief relationship might not be a bad idea. But the problem was that she was definitely not the type approved by his elder brother and mother, given their respective positions.
"How about I help you find a place to stay first?" Ye Juetian tentatively suggested.
"Are you really abandoning me?" The woman raised her head again, questioning.
Somehow, Ye Juetian felt that the woman\'s inquiry was sincere, as if abandoning her would lead to some reckless actions.
People forced into desperation might indeed do something reckless.
"I won\'t. Can you eat now?" Ye Juetian was convinced. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a situation today—being pursued by an exceptionally beautiful woman. However, it felt a bit silly.
"Really?"
Ye Juetian nodded.
The woman revealed a warm smile, as if she could melt away the ice and snow outside the Voidless Empire.
"Let\'s eat," Ye Juetian said softly, trying to stabilise the woman first.
"Yeah, you should eat too."
"I\'m not hungry."
"You want to abandon me?"
Ye Juetian: "..."
\'I said I\'m not hungry; how is that related to abandoning you?!\'
To reassure the woman, Ye Juetian could only take a few bites. The woman sitting across from him laughed happily.
"Have you really forgotten your name?"
"Yeah, I don\'t know." The woman nodded earnestly.
"Then let me give you a name."
"Sure."
"Then I\'ll call you... Yi Yi." After thinking for a while, Ye Juetian felt this name was pretty good.
The woman murmured a few words and smiled with satisfaction. "Yes, I\'ll be called Yi Yi."
"What\'s your name?"
"I\'m called Ye Juetian."
"Why do they call you \'Emperor\'? What\'s an Emperor?" Yi Yi innocently asked, seeming to be completely unaware of anything.
Ye Juetian didn\'t know how to explain, "Well... \'Emperor\' is just another title."
"Oh... Should I call you Ye Ye, or should I call you Emperor?" [Repeating a surname can signify a close relationship. It often indicates that they are from the same family or lineage.]
"..."
\'Ye Ye... Seriously, even my mother has never called me that.\'
"Never mind, just call me Ye Ye." Ye Juetian said helplessly.
"Sure, Ye Ye and Yi Yi sound nice together." Yi Yi smiled gently.Ye Juetian glanced at the sky outside. It was getting late, and he should probably head back. Otherwise, his mother might scold him for not being sensible.
Just as Ye Juetian finished his thought, he heard a mental message from Ye Hua.
"Where did you run off to?" Ye Hua asked in a cold tone.
Ye Juetian knew he would find out, "Big brother, I was just wandering around in the city."
