Chapter 1359 (Stay Calm, Dont Panic)
Chapter 1359 (Stay Calm, Don't Panic)
"We'll all have dinner together tonight," Ye Yan said quietly, leading Chu Yu through the palace.
"Are there any other people?" Chu Yu asked softly.
"My dad, four moms, my sister, and also my younger brother and sister, plus my grandmother. Originally, my uncle's family would be here too, but something came up today. It's not good news. You'll know about it later," Ye Yan didn't go into detail. This should be considered a family secret. After all, Chu Yu was still an outsider, not part of the family.
Chu Yu was already aware that Prince Ye had a younger brother, but hearing about a scandal made her quite curious.
It seems that any woman has a gossiping heart.
However, she was also curious about Ye Yan's siblings.
"Son of Prince Ye's family situation is indeed quite complicated," Chu Yu remarked.
Ye Yan felt a headache coming on. "Didn't we agree on something? Call me by my name!"
"Brother Yan, I'm sorry, I'm not quite used to it all at once," Chu Yu said softly, sounding very pleasant.
Ye Yan liked hearing this tone. It was pleasant and gentle, a hundred times more gentle than his mother's tone.
"You speaking like this is really nice," Ye Yan, being a typical scumbag, knew how to flatter a girl.
However, Chu Yu was already several hundred years old and had seen all kinds of men. She knew that this kind of scumbag wasn't reliable, especially someone like Ye Yan.
"The tone I speak with depends on your attitude," she replied.
"Okay, forget it. But can't you take off your veil now? Do you want to appear like this in front of my parents?" Ye Yan was actually very curious about Chu Yu's appearance. His aunt said she was a stunning beauty, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
"In my hometown's customs, unmarried girls cannot remove their veils," Chu Yu didn't lie to Ye Yan. This was a cultural tradition that couldn't be violated.
"But you surely can't keep it on during dinner. My parents will definitely ask you to take it off," Ye Yan said seriously.
After a pause, he continued, "If you don't take it off, my parents might think you're disrespectful, which would make the situation even worse."
"I'll see how it goes," Chu Yu said helplessly.
"It's not a matter of seeing how it goes. It's a must. I'm not joking with you. My family isn't as simple as you think, especially when it comes to marriage matters for our generation," Ye Yan emphasised repeatedly. He didn't want to pretend or cause unnecessary trouble.
Chu Yu nodded. "I understand."
"Yeah, let's go." Ye Yan reached out and held Chu Yu's hand. It felt... not bad. Her soft little hand was quite comfortable to hold.
Chu Yu frowned slightly but didn't say anything. She had paid quite a price to see the legendary Ye family.
Soon, the two arrived at the serene palace where laughter and chatter could be heard from inside.
Ye Yan felt a bit nervous. After all, this was all a charade, trying to deceive his parents' sharp eyes was quite challenging. He hoped that nothing would go wrong tonight.
"Chu Yu, stay calm."
"Your palms are sweaty."
Ye Yan: "..."
Chu Yu was quite skilled at setting the atmosphere. Ye Yan also relaxed a bit, holding Chu Yu's hand as they walked into the main hall.
At this moment, the entire Ye family was seated together, and the atmosphere seemed tense; nobody was speaking.
Seeing this atmosphere, Ye Yan felt a chill. If they were exposed, the situation would become even more awkward.
He squeezed Chu Yu's hand tighter, as if giving her encouragement. However, Chu Yu seemed even calmer than Ye Yan.
For Chu Yu, seeing the legendary Prince Ye and his large family was quite exciting.
Ever since she heard about the Ye family, she had been extremely curious. What kind of people were able to overthrow the rule of the Emperor Huang? Seeing Prince Ye's imposing aura, it was clear he was a natural-born leader.
And the women beside him were truly stunning, making Chu Yu feel inferior. This was her future goal.
"Grandma, Dad, all the moms, I'm back." Ye Yan stood at the door respectfully, with Chu Yu by his side, who became nervous instantly because everyone was looking at her.
Donghuang Li was quite surprised. Where did Ye Yan find this actress in such a short time?
He even appeared so mysteriously, wearing a veil. ‘Didn't he know this was disrespectful? Fool... was he trying to make Dad happy or unhappy? Who dares to wear a veil in front of Dad?’
Ye Liu felt the same way. Where did her brother find this person? Was she bought with money?
‘If Mom finds out, she'll be furious.’
Ye Shen looked at his brother with confusion. How did he suddenly get a girlfriend? He hid it so well?
Liu Xian had a different perspective. Finally, there was someone she could communicate with...
Le Jing was naturally delighted; she couldn't wait to have grandchildren.
Qing Ya was also observing the girl. Although she couldn't see her face, she exuded a gentle and approachable aura. She seemed quite nice. She wondered what she looked like.
Ye Hua looked at Chu Yu. Was this his sister's matchmaking? The girl seemed quite good, but wearing a veil seemed a bit disrespectful.
As an elder, seeing the young generation wearing veils made Ye Hua a bit unhappy.
Ye Yan could feel his father's displeasure and knew the veil shouldn't be worn. ‘You wouldn't listen, foolish woman…’
"Um... Mom, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Chu Yu... I was sorry I didn't bring her earlier, but finally, I managed to bring her today. Please don't misunderstand. In Chu Yu's hometown, there's a rule that unmarried girls can't remove their veils." Ye Yan quickly explained. He couldn't let his parents be unhappy. They were already unhappy; making it worse wouldn't be good.
Ye Hua asked faintly, "Unmarried girls? Can't remove their veils? Ye Yan, does this mean you haven't even seen her?"
Ye Yan was speechless. His father launched an attack so quickly! So fierce!
So, Ye Yan directly held Chu Yu's hand, thinking, ‘You wanted to show off, now you have it…’
At this moment, Chu Yu respectfully said, "Prince Ye, Chu Yu is rude, but it's the custom of my hometown. I have no choice. Brother Yan and I genuinely love each other. It's a heart-to-heart connection."
Ye Hua knew the inside story, and he was quite satisfied with Chu Yu's response.
However...
‘You two little rascals, how dare you lie so grandly!’
