Chapter 1100 (Masterful Acting)
"Juetian, don't worry. I won't tell Yi Yi about it. Let's just pretend that nothing happened between us," Gong Yue said proactively, hoping that this shameful approach would make Juetian feel something for her. Perhaps, to take responsibility, he might comply with her?
However, Gong Yue underestimated Ye Juetian.
"Really?" Ye Juetian exclaimed.
Gong Yue: "..."
'This Ye Juetian! He did all those things to me last night, and how could he act like nothing happened!'
He even agreed to her words!
'Do you really like that Yi Yi so much?'
'What's so good about that woman! She's just an ordinary person, and I even sacrificed myself for her!'
Gong Yue forced a bitter smile. "It's true."
Looking at Gong Yue's expression, Ye Juetian also felt regret. Why did he do such things last night, staining Gong Yue!
If Yi Yi knew about this, she would definitely never forgive him!
"I'm sorry, really sorry," Ye Juetian sincerely apologised. It was all his fault, no one else to blame.
Gong Yue revealed a touch of desolation and calmly said, "It's okay, not a big deal." After saying that, she stood up, put on the clothes scattered on the side, walked back to her small room, and closed the door.
Although Gong Yue could anticipate such a result, experiencing it was still hard to accept.
After all, she was also a girl who hoped for a man's care, but in such a crucial moment, there was simply no comfort.
Ye Juetian also felt uncomfortable. Watching Gong Yue's desolate figure, he felt sorry for her.
Gong Yue had helped him so much, yet he did something even worse than a beast.
Indeed, it was a shame.
Sighing deeply, Ye Juetian sat stupidly on the bed, trying to solve this problem. However, no matter how he thought about it, he realised he couldn't fix it.
It had happened. Could he turn back time?
After putting on his clothes, Ye Juetian paused. Where was the mirror?
He immediately searched on the bed, and finally found it under the pillow, heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he had lost it.
That would have been troublesome.
Looking at the mirror in his hand, Ye Juetian wanted to call Yi Yi's name, but after what he did yesterday, did he even have the face to call her?
Even if he did call, how could he explain this problem to Yi Yi? Tell the truth or lie?
Ye Juetian couldn't imagine the consequences of both approaches.
Yi Yi had put in so much effort for him, and he had...
Holding his head, Ye Juetian felt very uncomfortable.
Regret, remorse, blame the alcohol!
However, Yi Yi in the cell seemed to be waiting for Ye Juetian to come and explain what happened yesterday.
But after waiting a long time, Ye Ye didn't come to find her. Why?
Did Ye Ye not want her anymore?
'It's impossible... but what happened yesterday is still vivid. Ye Ye defiled Gong Yue, and Gong Yue was resisting.'
While Yi Yi was waiting, suddenly she heard a sob.
Yi Yi stood up and was surprised to see Gong Yue. Tears streaked her beautiful face, and she emitted a subtle sob.
"Yi Yi..." Gong Yue went straight through the iron bars, threw herself into Yi Yi's arms, and burst into tears.
Yi Yi was stunned, her face showing a sense of loss. However, she gently patted Gong Yue's back, as if this could bring comfort to Gong Yue.
"Don't cry," Yi Yi said, feeling the pain in her heart. The person she liked did such things last night, and Gong Yue was crying in front of her.
Gong Yue was indeed crying, genuinely feeling wronged. So, her tears were real, but she didn't want to waste them. Even if she cried, it had to be valuable.
So, she ran into the cell to cry for Yi Yi to see.
After a long time, Gong Yue finally stabilised.
"It's okay," Gong Yue said in a low voice.
Yi Yi didn't know what to say. Gong Yue probably didn't know yet that she had seen things she shouldn't have last night.
"Gong Yue, actually, I saw what happened last night," Yi Yi couldn't help but say. As she spoke, Yi Yi felt like her heart was tearing apart.
Gong Yue showed a shocked expression, proving that she was also a master of acting. She asked with seemingly genuine surprise, "Yi Yi, what did you see!"
Gong Yue intentionally asked like this, trying to expose Yi Yi's wound. It was as if she wanted to remind Yi Yi, "I had a great time with Ye Juetian last night, while you, Yi Yi, can only stay in this cold and damp dungeon!"
With Gong Yue's question, images of that filthy scene automatically flashed in Yi Yi's mind. She said in a deep voice, "I saw everything between you and Ye Ye through the mirror!"
"What! Yi Yi, don't misunderstand. It was me who seduced Ye Ye. Don't blame Ye Ye. It's my fault," Gong Yue said, then gave herself a fierce slap, displaying a cruelty rating of five stars.
Yi Yi was stunned, quickly grabbing Gong Yue. "I saw it all. Ye Ye forced you."
Gong Yue froze, then shed two more hot tears and cried again in Yi Yi's arms.
This was like portraying a victim to the fullest, even an excellent victim who wanted to conceal a secret.
"Yi Yi, I'm sorry..." Gong Yue cried and apologised.
"Gong Yue, you didn't do anything wrong to me. It's Ye Ye who owes you an apology," Yi Yi helplessly said. She didn't sleep at all last night, constantly thinking about this issue, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
Should she forgive Ye Ye?
Could she? Yi Yi didn't know, feeling very uncomfortable. She hoped someone could come and console her.
But now, she was consoling others.
Who would console her? Don't you guys know I'm the one feeling the worst?
Gong Yue wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said softly, "Yi Yi, don't blame Ye Juetian. Men are like that sometimes; they can't hold back. Don't take it to heart. Ye Juetian still likes you."
Hearing these words, Yi Yi felt even more uncomfortable.
"I don't have any friends in this palace, Yi Yi. You're my only friend," Gong Yue said pitifully, showcasing impeccable acting skills.
Yi Yi suddenly realised that she and Gong Yue were quite similar. She had no friends in this palace either, constantly looked down upon and mocked by everyone. Only Gong Yue didn't despise her, making her the only person who treated her well in the palace.
This realisation moved her deeply.
"I only have you as a friend too," Yi Yi said softly, exhaling.
At that moment, Yi Yi's mirror rang, and Ye Juetian's voice came through.
Gong Yue's face changed, "Yi Yi, don't tell Ye Juetian about me here. I'm afraid he..."
Gong Yue made a frightened expression, as if she were about to be subjected to domestic violence by Ye Juetian.
