Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Spark of Light 012 Chapter: True Character Revealed
"Nan Huang is really too much, how can he drive his own biological daughter to...". Realizing what she was saying, Ye Yue suddenly closed her mouth with a puff of air.
Her good upbringing since childhood made her unable to utter any profanity, but the anger emanating from her entire being was enough to reveal her inner turmoil. That night war between the two countries of Nan and Ye, was a war initiated by Nan country, although Ye country won, those soldiers who died on the battlefield would never come back again.
Finally, Nangong presented a letter of surrender and proposed an alliance between the two countries, forming a friendship between Qin and Jin.
Who would have thought that he even used a daughter who had never received his attention and love as a pawn.
"As for my past in the southern country, apart from remembering that I had an older brother who loved me dearly, everything else that should be forgotten or remembered has become unclear. Yixin's pure and unblemished eyes gazed out at the blue sky outside the window, and although she was leaning against his chest, Ye Xuechen unconsciously tightened his hold on her, as if she would disappear from under his eyelids in an instant."
"Jiuer, from now on, Ye Guo is your home and we are your family. Forget that place that hurt you." Yexiao grabbed Yixin's hand, calling back her drifting soul.
"Even though my brother didn't tell me much about the past, just telling me to remember who he was, the people around me would occasionally mention it, and from their words, I also knew what kind of life I had in the southern country." She lowered her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, and gently said: "From the southern country, I slept all the way to the capital of Ye Country, when I opened my eyes that moment, everyone said I should accept my fate, but I have no choice but to retreat."
The arm around her waist suddenly stiffened, and Ye Juechen didn't know what expression should appear on his face. It turned out she was that unwilling to marry him.
Just as he was about to confess his true feelings, he suddenly realized that she had been resisting him all along, and his heart was twisted into a knot, filled with unbearable pain.
"Jiuer, let's not think about those unhappy things. After we got separated that day, you encountered a startled horse, and when you dodged, your head hit the stone pillar by the street. It might have triggered your old illness, which is why thinking about what happened that day gives you a headache. Luolan also said that after some time passes, you'll slowly remember everything."
"Really?" Intuition told her something was off, but Yixin didn't plan on investigating further.
If there's anyone in the Night Country that she cares about, it would only be Ye Yue Xiao. Not for any other reason, but because of her face, which is identical to the woman who was called "sister" in her memories, and her genuine concern for her.
"Of course it's true."
"Uh-huh."
"Jiuer, you've been asleep for ten whole days. Dust has taken care of you personally, without letting anyone else help. You should thank him properly, just look at how exhausted he is."
The war king's face was so haggard, and Ye Yuexia had never seen him like this before. Fortunately, the War King's mansion had been closed to visitors for some time now, or else if word got out, who knows what kind of commotion it would stir up.
Her eyes flashed, the chest she was leaning against was too warm, Yixin couldn't help but indulge in the peace and tranquility he brought her, the doubts in her heart were dispelled by a single sentence from Ye Yue, her pale face flushed with a thin layer of tender red, it was truly touching.
His back was pressed against her chest, his arms wrapped around her waist, and with every breath he took or slight movement of his body, how could she possibly not feel anything at all.
Especially when she talked about those past events, Yixin felt a very keen sense of his arm stiffening for an instant.
"He's your husband, it's his duty to take care of you, why is he making you feel ashamed?" No woman is indifferent to her appearance, Ye Yuexi was afraid that Yixin would not be able to accept the long scar on her face.
"I'm not ashamed." She raised her small face, and Yixin pouted slightly. She indeed craved the warmth that Ye Xiu brought her, wanting to rely on him, but she also decided to leave him and live on her own.
Can't figure out why a man as cold-blooded as him would be willing to take care of this troublesome woman.
To say she wasn't moved would be a lie, Ye Juechen's actions had touched her, but also made her feel a little afraid.
She hopes he is still as indifferent to her as before, so she won't rely on him and think he's good. If he spoils her, pampers her, and protects her, it's really hard for her to leave him.
Every girl has a dream of a prince in her heart.
Her heart was also stained with the same color. That magnificent engagement party shattered her dreams, but Ye Juechen's appearance in front of her ignited a warm hand that simultaneously reignited her dreams.
She who has never been in love before, also yearns for a man to love her, give her happiness and take her through the sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavors of romance.
"What's wrong? Why did you blush?"
"Sister, you're really messy." Pouting her small mouth, Yixin was both angry and annoyed, struggling to move her head but getting dizzy.
"Her body hasn't recovered, what can she do." Ye Juechen glared at Ye Yuexiao, where did the princess learn her manners, not a bit of the demeanor a princess should have, "Luolan, is her body really okay?"
Situ Luolan handed the prescription to Liang Chen and instructed her to focus on decocting the medicine, saying in a low voice: "Take good care of yourself for a few days, and you'll definitely be back to your usual energetic and lively self as the War King's consort."
"Uh-huh."
This girl is still causing trouble everywhere and leaving him to deal with it, looking adorable in the process.
Lying listlessly, looking quite annoying.
Since she is the woman he loves, no matter if she has him in her heart or not, don't even think about escaping from his side.
She doesn't love him, so let her be infatuated with him then.
"You're very good, marrying you is also good. At the moment I got off the sedan chair, under the veil, I saw your hand stretched out in front of my eyes. When you held my hand, I really felt a kind of happiness. Unfortunately, there's someone else living in your heart, and that happiness doesn't belong to me."
That's the reality felt after waking up and accepting the fact of crossing over.
Warm and thick big hands wrapped around her small palms, the bewildered and helpless heart, as if suddenly finding the other shore, the tense mood calmed down, and only then had the courage to move forward step by step.
If you don't have her in your heart, maybe... ...the world has no ifs, after all, it's just that I'm asking for too much.
"A beautiful view, sending some light food to serve the queen's meal."
Are you happy?
At that moment when he held her small hand, he also felt happiness.
It was just ignored by him at that time.
He thought he would never encounter happiness in his life.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Where is the mirror? Bring me a mirror to take a look." There was something on her face that made them all shut up, and Yee's heart was filled with curiosity.
Several maidservants fell silent, gazing at her for a moment without moving.
"There's nothing to see, as long as you apply the cream on your face on time, it'll be gone in less than half a month." The copper mirror in the room was taken away by Ye Juechen on the day she returned to the manor, precisely because he feared that she would wake up and demand to look at her reflection.
She had multiple injuries and bleeding all over her body before, but she didn't show any signs of pain. Now, seeing the wound on her face, nobody knows how she will react, so they can only prevent her from seeing it.
"What's the big deal if I take a look?" She pouted, tapping her fingers, and gazed at Ye Juechen with a wronged expression.
"Bring me a mirror on a good day."
Soon, Liang Chen brought a mirror from outside and handed it to Ye Juechen. His face was filled with worry, "You can look, but you have to promise me not to get excited."
I'm not excited.
Yè jué chén placed the mirror in front of her, allowing her to see her entire face. She carefully observed the changes in her expression, ready to stop her from making any extreme movements at any time.
Blinked, blinked again, and also slightly pouted, making several different expressions. A bright light flashed in the shiny black eyes, and with a tone that was not surprising but deadly serious, said: "This scar really has character, just add a few strokes and it's like a blooming flower on your cheek, except when you smile, it's a bit scary."
