CHAPTER 127: Ye Yici & Yue Lisi's Side Story

Ye Yici fell in love at first sight with Yue Lisi.

When Ye Yici just entered her freshman year, she gave a speech as a representative for the new students. As she stepped down from the stage, she saw Yue Lisi sitting in the front row, with a graceful posture and a noble temperament. From that moment on, she never took her eyes off her.

Ye Yici never expected herself to become like this. After finding out Yue Lisi's identity, she felt that she was not worthy of her. But her feelings for her seemed to overflow, making her subconsciously seek information about Yue Lisi.

She heard that Yue Lisi would be speaking at the school auditorium, so she went there. She said she chose a certain teacher's class, and she followed suit. She mentioned liking to go to a certain place, so she would occasionally go there.

She looked forward to the day she could meet Yue Lisi by chance, hoping to say to her, "Hello, my name is Ye Yici."

Later, she heard that the Student Council President had many interactions with members of the royal family, so she competed for the position of Student Council President.

She didn't think that she actually hoped to be with Yue Lisi. She just wanted to silently watch her, like one of her many admirers.

She had good grades, a beautiful appearance, and was well-liked by the students at school. So, she successfully became the Student Council President.

During the inauguration ceremony as the Student Council President, Ye Yici once again took the stage to give a speech. Yue Lisi sat in the front row, just like the first time Ye Yici saw her, elegant and graceful like bamboo.

When Ye Yici went on stage, she could only steal a glance at Yue Lisi before quickly averting her gaze. She was afraid that if she looked for too long, her feelings would be discovered by the other person.

After being elected as the Student Council President, she did have more opportunities to interact with members of the royal family, but she still rarely saw Yue Lisi. However, now her source of information changed from campus gossip to the prince and princess of the royal family.

Until one day, the principal asked her and Yue Lisi to shoot a promotional video for the Imperial Academy.

Upon hearing this news, she couldn't sleep the whole night out of nervousness. The next day during the shoot, she was visibly not in a good state, looking listless. The photographer even thought she wouldn't be able to complete the shoot.

But as soon as she saw Yue Lisi walking over from a distance, she immediately straightened her posture and sat up attentively, waiting for her to come.

Surprisingly, she cooperated calmly with Yue Lisi during the shoot, which caught the photographer off guard.

However, being in close proximity to Yue Lisi still made her inadvertently reveal her nervousness—her eyelashes would twitch rapidly, the tips of her ears would slightly blush, her palms would sweat profusely, and her heart would beat uncontrollably fast. All these signs reminded her of her nervousness.

After the shoot ended, Ye Yici finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly patted her chest, secretly calming her emotions.

"Are you nervous?" came a crisp, teasing voice from behind.

Ye Yici was startled, and her body involuntarily trembled. Her ears instantly turned red.

With her back to Yue Lisi, she pretended to be calm and replied, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Yue Lisi's tone carried a teasing tone. "Junior Ye, your ears are all red."

Ye Yici felt the blood rush to her head, and her mind buzzed. The redness spread from her ears to her face and neck.

Looking at Ye Yici, blushing like a steam engine, Yue Lisi chuckled lightly and patted her shoulder. "Come to my car later. I have something to tell you."

"Oh, okay." Ye Yici nervously fidgeted with the corner of her clothes and nodded stutteringly.

Yue Lisi let out a soft laugh, a laughter that carried emotions Ye Yici couldn't quite comprehend. Before Ye Yici could turn around, Yue Lisi had already walked away.

Inside the car, Yue Lisi lightly tapped the driver's seat and had a smile lingering on her lips.

She had been paying attention to this junior for a long time. Ever since she saw her in the audience during their freshman year, she was captivated by her appearance. It was the first time she had seen an Alpha who exuded both coldness and a hint of charm.

She unconsciously placed her gaze on her, and it must be said that Ye Yici had exactly the kind of appearance that she liked.

She initially thought that after catching a glimpse of each other at the freshman opening ceremony, they wouldn't have any further interactions.

However, she gradually noticed that this junior seemed to always be present in the places she frequented, which felt strange to her.

As time went on, she discovered that this junior often secretly glance at her, discreetly inquiring about her whereabouts, and frequently wander around the places she frequented. It amused her, so she began secretly observing her in return.

After observing her for a while, she realized that this junior was really quite adorable, especially when pretending not to like her. She thought she was doing a good job at it, but it was incredibly cute.

"Knock, knock." when Yue Lisi was lost in thought, Ye Yici tapped on her car window.

Yue Lisi pressed the switch, allowing Ye Yici to come in.

"Se-Senior, did you call me for something?" Ye Yici asked, her face still showing signs of youthfulness and shyness in front of her.

Yue Lisi looked at the Alpha in front of her, her lips curled up again, and after blinking her eyes, she asked, "Do you like me, Junior Ye?"

Ye Yici, like before, instantly blushed, stiffened her neck, and remained silent for a moment before nodding solemnly. "Mm."

Yue Lisi couldn't help but laugh, raising her hand to pat Ye Yici's head. "Such an adorable junior you are."

Ye Yici stiffened her back and didn't say anything.

Yue Lisi leaned closer to her ear and blew gently on her earlobe. Ye Yici immediately felt a tingling sensation in her spine, and her body reacted instantly.

"Sorry." Ye Yici covered her neck, retracting the unintentional pheromones she had leaked.

Yue Lisi took a light sniff and raised an eyebrow. The pheromones of this little Alpha were similar to her own, with a refreshing minty scent that was quite pleasant.

"Junior, are you an S-class Alpha?" Yue Lisi asked. 

Ye Yici swallowed and nodded. "Yes."

"Perfect. I'm an S-class Omega. You should know that going through estrous as an S-class Omega is particularly difficult. I wonder if you would be willing to help me?" Yue Lisi drew a circle on Ye Yici's back with her finger.

Ye Yici slowly turned her head to look at her, seemingly not understanding her words for a moment. "Help you?"

"Yes." Yue Lisi nodded with a smile. "Twice a month. I can also help you through your susceptible periods. What do you think?"

Ye Yici lowered her gaze, and the nervousness from earlier vanished instantly with Yue Lisi's words, leaving only a tangle of emotion and confusion in her eyes.

Yue Lisi wasn't in a hurry either and handed her a card with a smile. "Take your time to think about it. This is my optical brain contact card. You can add me. When you've made up your mind, we can have a proper conversation."

"Okay." Ye Yici tightly held the card in her hand, got out of the car, and watched as Yue Lisi drove away.

As expected by Yue Lisi, it didn't take long for Ye Yici to contact her and agree to her request.

Ye Yici's thinking was simple. Besides this opportunity, she had no other chances to get close to Yue Lisi. She could only seize this one, even if it remained in the shadows. She was content with it.

Not long after agreeing to Yue Lisi's proposition, Ye Yici received an address for an apartment. On the scheduled day and time, she arrived at the door and knocked promptly.

She thought she would have some time to prepare herself, but as soon as the door opened, she was pulled inside.

The room was filled with the scent of jasmine pheromones, and Ye Yici's body immediately reacted. The person in front of her didn't give her any time to adjust and dragged her into the room.

The mingled scents of mint and jasmine lingered in the room for a full three days before gradually dissipating.

.....

Since then, Ye Yici became Yue Lisi's clandestine lover. Although their encounters mostly took place in bed, Ye Yici was still very happy because she could stay by Yue Lisi's side through this kind of relationship.

Until one day, Ye Yici overheard Yue Lituan talking on the phone with Yue Lisi, saying that her marriage was not up to her. Either she would be married to a nobleman from the Imperial officials' family or she would be tied to the children of several wealthy families in the Empire. It was then that Ye Yici realized her own insignificance. Even if Yue Lisi agreed to be with her, she didn't have the power to change anything.

Realizing this, Ye Yici began to listen to Ye Yufeng's advice. She continued her studies while getting involved in the company's affairs. She was very intelligent and learned quickly. Gradually, Ye Yufeng started assigning her projects, and she excelled in completing them, displaying remarkable talent. That day, as usual, on the bed, Ye Yici told Yue Lisi about her recent activities.

Yue Lisi's reaction was calm, as if she were listening to something insignificant. "Mm, that's good."

"Is that your only reaction?" Ye Yici's eyes showed a hint of hurt.

"What's wrong?" After all this time, it was the first time Yue Lisi had seen her get angry. She was somewhat surprised as she reached out and gently touched Ye Yici's furrowed brow.

Ye Yici pouted with a hint of grievance. "I like you, I like you, I really like you, Yue Lisi. I've been working so hard, hoping to make the Ye family prosper and then confess to you. But your response is so indifferent. Don't you like me?"

Yue Lisi paused and looked up at her, observing the sadness and disappointment in her eyes. Her heart twinged slightly.

Yue Lisi remained silent for a long time, just when Ye Yici had assumed she was accepting the situation and was about to speak up to end their relationship on her own terms.

Suddenly, Yue Lisi spoke up, "Let's be together. Let's be in a romantic relationship. I've realized that I might actually like you a little, Ye Yici."

Ye Yici looked at her in astonishment, momentarily unable to process the news.

Yue Lisi sat up straight, holding Ye Yici's chin and gently planting a kiss on her lips. "But our relationship may need to remain hidden. You may have to endure a long period of secrecy. Can you accept that?"

"Yes, yes." Ye Yici nodded ecstatically. As long as she could be with Yue Lisi, what did a little secrecy matter to her?

After that, Ye Yici and Yue Lisi began their four-year secret relationship. They met in secret, loved each other in secret, and spent time together in secret.

They left traces of their love all over the small apartment they shared, which became the vessel of their secret for four years.

Ye Yici, as she had once said, had shed her former naivety and became the CEO of the Ye Group, acclaimed as a business genius in the commercial world.

During their six years of love, Yue Lisi successfully became the first Omega Queen in the history of the Empire.

Shortly after Yue Lisi ascended to the throne, people began to discuss who would eventually become her queen consort.

While the public was still debating, in the second year of Yue Lisi's reign, she suddenly announced to everyone that she was pregnant and would have a wedding in the first year after giving birth. The groom-to-be was none other than Ye Yici, the current head of the Ye family.

This news caused a stir among the public, and many joked that Ye Yici had achieved a high status by virtue of motherhood, as it was the child who secured her position.

Ye Yici didn't mind the comments. In the palace, she earnestly supported Yue Lisi, who was already five months pregnant, massaging her legs and stealing kisses from her from time to time.

"Have you told your family?" Yue Lisi had only met Ye Yici's mother, Song Xinchu, and her sister, Ye Lianyin. She hadn't met anyone else in the family.

Ye Yici nodded. "They have no say in this. The baby's last name doesn't matter. Isn't it normal for the child to have the mother's last name if you're the one giving birth?"

"Do you mind?" Yue Lisi touched her belly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

Ye Yici rested her head on Yue Lisi's stomach, listening attentively, and calmly replied, "The baby said it doesn't matter whose last name they have. They're their mother's child, so there's nothing to mind."

"That's true." Yue Lisi chuckled and playfully poked Ye Yici's head. She motioned for her to sit up and then leaned in to kiss her lips.

After a long, passionate kiss, Yue Lisi's eyes slightly reddened, and she looked at Ye Yici with deep affection. "Thank you, my love. For all these years, you've silently been by my side."

Ye Yici's eyes welled up with tears, and she leaned in to kiss Yue Lisi's eyes. "No need to thank me, it's because I love you."
