Chapter 1358 (Come Home with Me)
Chapter 1358 (Come Home with Me)
"No no no, absolutely not. It's just a phrase we use in my hometown, expressing surprise," Ye Yan bluffed. He had some skills in making things up, and now he had no bottom line left to make his mother happy.
Chu Yu nodded, "Then apologise."
"No need. I didn't offend you much; you even scolded me," Ye Yan felt that this woman was just causing trouble for no reason. ‘Don't force me!’
"When you were stopped outside the palace, was it not I who brought you in? If you don't appreciate it, fine, but you even insulted me when you met the empress. I have never been insulted like this in my life. If you were not the son of Prince Ye, I..."
‘Damn, such a big deal! She stretched the essence of the matter to the point of insult. Can't you be more shameless…’
"Alright... my bad. I shouldn't have insulted you. Calm down," Ye Yan helplessly said. Dealing with women was truly troublesome, and now he finally understood the bitterness his dad endured. How could he stand Mom's bad temper?
Chu Yu didn't say much after hearing the apology, feeling a little relieved.
"Now, can you help me?"
"When did I say I would help you?"
"What the heck! You can't be so untrustworthy!"
"Son of Prince Ye, it seems like you have a problem with your comprehension."
‘Damn it! Now she says my comprehension is an issue. This woman is a master of verbal warfare! She can seize on any linguistic flaw to bring you down.’
It seemed he had to resort to the big move. Hopefully, Aunt's advice was right.
"Come home with me and pretend to be my woman!" Ye Yan directly stated his purpose, being straightforward.
Although Chu Yu was momentarily stunned by Ye Yan's words, she had guessed it just now. The empress wanted to discuss a family matter with her nephew, and it seemed Ye Yan was addressing that matter.
The Ye Family...
Seeing Chu Yu hesitate, Ye Yan felt elated. It looked like Aunt was right.
"Just forget it if you're unwilling. I'm leaving." Without waiting for Chu Yu to react, Ye Yan jumped off the carriage. Actually, he was a bit nervous. What if this woman didn't stop him? Would he have to run back with his tail between his legs?
No, that couldn't be. This woman wanted to go to the Ye Family, and now was the perfect opportunity. She wouldn't miss this chance.
Ye Yan walked back, counting down in his mind.
‘I'll count down from ten. This woman will surely be unable to resist. If she can hold it in, I, Young Master Ye, will livestream myself eating shit without wrinkling my brows.’
The sound of carriage wheels echoed on the stone pavement, and Ye Yan comforted himself while counting down.
As he reached the count of twenty, Ye Yan couldn't believe it. This woman didn't call out to him!
Damn!
How impressive!
‘If I turn back, I'll jump off the city wall!’
After a while, from inside the carriage: "Beauty, just lend me a hand, please. Really, I beg you... I, Ye Yan, have never asked for help before."
Ye Yan was genuinely defeated by this woman. Not physically, but psychologically. She was indeed the girl Aunt favoured. So stable, surely she wouldn't reveal any flaws in front of his parents.
"Son of Prince Ye, I am a virtuous woman. Pretending to be your wife and going home with you—what about my reputation?"
"What? You want me to marry you?"
Chu Yu's mouth twitched, and she wished she could kick him aside, setting aside her well-maintained demeanour. "You're thinking too much."
"As long as it's not that, feel free to make any requests. I'll fulfil all I can."
Chu Yu lightly touched her chin, looking at Ye Yan. She asked casually, "If you can tell me why I should help you, I'll agree."
"Because you're interested in my family."
Ye Yan said directly, leaving Chu Yu momentarily stunned. After a while, she said, "Indeed, you are the son of Prince Ye. I can agree, but you also need to agree to a few things for me."
"Go on."
"I've pretended to cooperate, but after going to your house, you have to give me a detailed introduction. During this period, we're just pretending; there can't be any physical contact."
Ye Yan was speechless. "Sister, in a pretend marriage, no physical contact? Who would believe that..."
"It depends on the situation. If you do anything inappropriate, even if I die, I'll expose your conspiracy."
‘Damn, it's just pretending to be a couple! Why does it feel like I'm usurping the throne?’
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." Ye Yan glanced at Chu Yu, who was completely wrapped up and unable to see any features.
‘But Aunt said she looked good; as long as she's similar to Ye Shen's wife, it's fine. If she surpasses her, it would seem like showing off, haha…’
"Perfect. I've heard men say similar things before, but in the end, it was all sweet talk..."
"Don't worry, even if I die, I won't do anything to you," Ye Yan patted his chest, solemnly saying.
"When do we go?"
"Let's go now. But before that, we need to discuss the details of how we met. Otherwise, if we're asked, it won't match, and that would be a problem."
Chu Yu nodded in agreement.
"I'll take you to tour the Voidless Empire first. Have you been there?"
"Yes."
"You would have eventually. Tonight, I'll take you to the Imperial Palace."
After hearing this, Chu Yu felt a bit nervous. After all, it was Prince Ye's home, and she didn't expect to enter in such a way.
‘I've heard about it before, and now I can see it.;
Nervousness mixed with excitement...
"Can you promise me one thing?" Ye Yan said seriously.
"What is it?"
"Don't call me the son of Prince Ye anymore. Call me Brother Yan, okay?"
This request wasn't unreasonable, so Chu Yu nodded in agreement.
"Since we are both pretending now, should you take off your veil? I need to see, or if someone asks, I won't even know what you look like."
"Don't worry. I'm confident about my appearance. I won't embarrass you," Chu Yu said softly, showing considerable confidence in this aspect.
Ye Yan didn't insist, "Alright, just don't deceive me."
"As long as you don't make me angry, you won't be deceived."
"Good thing this isn't real," Ye Yan sighed lightly. If he had such a wife, it would be a headache. Too smart wasn't good; sometimes, women are cuter when they pretend to be naive.
Chu Yu, of course, heard this and snorted coldly.
The two of them went directly to the Voidless Empire. Ye Yan and Chu Yu also exchanged information about how they met, and so on.
Once all the details matched, Ye Yan felt at ease bringing Chu Yu into the palace...
However, Ye Yan was a bit nervous. If their deception was exposed, it would be troublesome...
