"Yes, okay, Yu, you are really nice."
Upon hearing the man's words, Le Yao Yao nodded without a second thought.
"Hehe, where am I nice?!"
At Le Yao Yao's response, Leng Junyu's stern face softened instantly.
A charming smile graced his lips.
That smile was seven parts alluring and three parts sentimental, captivating enough to make one unable to look away.
Combined with his deep-set eyes, it felt as if he could draw out one's very soul with just a steady gaze.
Under such an enchanting look from the man, Le Yao Yao felt her heart racing, as if it would leap out of her chest at any moment.
Moreover, a wave of heat surged from her heart straight to her head, making her face flush hotly, even her ears felt warm.
"Uh, well... Yu is great in every way and treats me well, really!"
Being looked at with such intense eyes made Le Yao Yao feel shy; her little face quickly turned a bright red.
Her bashful expression resembled that of a cute little white rabbit, which made Leng Junyu's heart soften as he chuckled lightly.
"Since I treat the little rabbit well, will the little rabbit also treat me well?!"
At Leng Junyu's words, Le Yao Yao was momentarily taken aback but immediately nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, whoever treats me well, I will treat them well."
This was Le Yao Yao's principle in life! Whoever was good to her, she would definitely be good to them in return!
Le Yao Yao had always been this way—cheerful and not one to dwell on trivial matters. She believed that things would naturally work out in the end. Thus, throughout her life, she had hardly any worries.
Hearing these words from Le Yao Yao and looking into her clear Beautiful Eyes, Leng Junyu's lips curled slightly. However, it seemed as if he suddenly thought of something, and he pressed his lips together before asking Le Yao Yao.
"Since that's the case, little rabbit, do you have anything to hide from me? Hmm?"
Leng Junyu's voice was gentle, and his expression remained unchanged, making it seem like a casual question.
However, Le Yao Yao felt a pang of guilt; upon hearing Leng Junyu's words, her small body stiffened involuntarily.
Although she tried her best to control her nervousness and not let her anxious feelings show, Leng Junyu was not someone to be underestimated.
Moreover, when he spoke those words, his Cold Eyes seemed capable of seeing through one's heart and never left Le Yao Yao's Little Face. Naturally, he noticed the unease written all over her face.
Yet, Leng Junyu maintained his composure.
Le Yao Yao thought she was hiding her feelings well. After calming herself down, she forced a smile and laughed lightly at the man.
"No, no! What could I possibly have to hide from you?!"
Though she said this, facing the man's sharp Cold Eyes made her heart race.
Oh my!
Why did the living hell ask such a question?! Did he sense something?
But looking at his expression didn't seem like he knew anything. If he did know she was hiding something from him, he would have exposed her immediately, right?!
But now, it seemed like he was just testing her. Was that it?
Le Yao Yao pondered this while gradually paying more attention to the expression on the man's face.
Seeing Le Yao Yao become sensitive and alert due to this topic, Leng Junyu's face remained calm; he merely curled his Red Lips into a smile and said,
"That's good then."
The simple three words, combined with the warm smile on his face, finally eased the tension in Le Yao Yao's heart a little.
However, just as Le Yao Yao was beginning to relax, the man's next question sent her heart racing once more.
"By the way, little rabbit, you've been in the Wangfu for about three months now, right?"
"Uh, yes."
Confused about why Leng Junyu would suddenly ask that, Le Yao Yao answered truthfully.
Although she had crossed over to this place and was now a little eunuch, according to Little Muzi, she had come here together with him. She had already been here for a month, so it added up to exactly three months now.
As Le Yao Yao was calculating this in her mind, she suddenly heard Leng Junyu say again.
"You've been here for quite some time now. I don't think I've ever heard you mention your family! Since we have some free time, why don't you tell me about them, little rabbit?"
After saying this, the man slowly reclined on the Palace Couch, adopting an attentive posture.
However, upon hearing his words, Le Yao Yao felt a chill run down her spine.
After all, she had arrived in this time and space and was inhabiting this body without any memories of it.
Although Little Muzi had mentioned before that the original owner of this body came from a poor family and sold herself into service here, even Little Muzi didn't know where this body’s family lived.
Moreover, these details were supposedly shared by the original owner with Little Muzi. However, after careful observation of this body, Le Yao Yao noted its delicate hands that resembled the skin of a peeled egg and its frail appearance that suggested it had never done any hard work. It certainly did not fit the image of a poor child.
Thus, Le Yao Yao concluded that what Little Muzi said was likely fabricated.
Now faced with the man's inquiry, Le Yao Yao felt anxious inside.
Moreover, she felt quite uneasy.
Because although the man's expression remained unchanged, he gave her a strange feeling as if he had sensed something unusual.
However, that shouldn't be possible!
Since she arrived here, she had been extremely cautious about everything. Aside from Dongfang Bai knowing her true identity as a woman, no one else was aware of it. Moreover, given Dongfang Bai's personality, he would definitely not disclose her secret. Le Yao Yao was very certain of this.
But if it weren't for Dongfang Bai's revelation, how could the King of Hell have noticed something unusual about her!?
Could it be that she was just being paranoid?
She hoped that was the case.
Le Yao Yao kept reassuring herself, trying not to let her anxiety get the better of her.
After forcing herself to calm down, she put on a composed expression and spoke nonchalantly.
"Actually, there's nothing much to say about my family. We're just an ordinary poor family."
"Oh, according to what you said last time, you were in poor health as a child?! So your parents sold their possessions just to treat your illness?"
"Uh..."
Hearing Leng Junyu's words, Le Yao Yao froze for a moment, suddenly recalling that she had made up that story to brush him off. If he hadn't brought it up, she would have forgotten all about it.
However, those details were something she had casually fabricated last time; she didn't expect the King of Hell to have such a good memory.
Oh my! Lying to such a clever man was indeed quite challenging!
Cold sweat trickled down Le Yao Yao's back, but her face remained calm and collected.
After all, having performed in numerous school plays, Le Yao Yao had honed her acting skills to perfection.
Yet under the sharp and intelligent gaze of the man before her, she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
Although Le Yao Yao felt nervous and flustered inside, she quickly gathered herself and continued speaking.
"Yes, yes, Yu's memory is really good, haha..."
Le Yao Yao chuckled, feeling a warmth spreading through her body. Her back felt sticky; it must be damp from cold sweat. What a predicament!
While Le Yao Yao was laughing, she was completely unaware that at this moment, Beautiful Eyes were sparkling, and the smile on her lips had become somewhat stiff. Smart as Leng Junyu was, how could he not know that she was flustered?
However, he chose not to address it directly. His Cold Eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Le Yao Yao, his gaze becoming even more inscrutable.
"By the way, you mentioned before that you have several siblings at home? I wonder what your siblings look like; do they resemble you?"
"Uh, well, in my family, there are five siblings! I'm the second oldest, and we all look quite alike," Le Yao Yao replied.
Seeing Leng Junyu scrutinizing her like he was taking a census made Le Yao Yao feel increasingly guilty.
Nevertheless, she continued to fabricate her story.
After all, the living Yama wouldn’t personally send someone to investigate her family. Whatever she said would be taken as truth.
With that thought in mind, Le Yao Yao felt a bit more settled.
However, those large Beautiful Eyes remained fixed on the man's face, as if afraid he wouldn’t believe her words.
After observing for a while, the expression on the man’s face remained calm and composed, as if he believed her.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao finally let out a quiet sigh of relief in her heart.
Feeling the cold sweat trickling down her forehead again, she wanted to wipe it with her sleeve. Unexpectedly, someone moved faster than she did.
Le Yao Yao felt a large hand with Knuckles reach out in front of her. The fine sweat on her forehead was gently wiped away, accompanied by a low and charming voice near her ear.
"Are you very hot? Why are you sweating so much?"
"Uh, yes, I am very hot—too hot, haha..."
In front of this clever man, she was sweating profusely from lying; how could she not be nervous?
Moreover, not only was her forehead slick with cold sweat, but her back felt sticky as well. She desperately wanted to take a quick shower to cool off.
Just as Le Yao Yao was lost in her thoughts, the man seemed to read her mind. After wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, he gently said, "You've had a long day. You should head back and rest early."
"Oh, okay. You should also get some rest," she replied.
Hearing Leng Junyu's words brought a smile to Le Yao Yao's heart. She quickly stood up from his lap and hurriedly left.
Throughout the encounter, due to her guilty conscience and fear that he might notice something if she lingered, Le Yao Yao didn't dare to look back as she rushed out of Bamboo Garden Xiao Xie.
Thus, she failed to notice the depth of the cold gaze he directed at her...
