Chapter 2728: Amnesia 6

The Heavenly Emperor’s brow furrowed.

Xiaoyun’s expression immediately brightened with vindication. She felt validated in her stance. Clearly, the Heavenly Emperor’s displeasure confirmed her suspicions. Why else would he frown?

“I made sure the house was tidy, but she disregarded my instructions and insisted on coming here,” Xiaoyun added, her tone firm.

Lin Xue interjected, “Heaven Emperor, Chaoyan seems to have lost her memory and is unaware of her surroundings. Upon waking, she mistook this place for her designated resting area. Seeing her exhaustion, I guided her here.”

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, seeming satisfied.

His initial intent hadn’t been to have Chaoyan sleep here.

However…

Now, Little White Bunny had taken the initiative to seek his quarters. He couldn’t fault her for that. Even if her memory returned later, she couldn’t blame him for her current actions.

The Heavenly Emperor felt a surge of delight.

His gaze settled on Xiaoyun and Lin Xue.

Evidently, he harbored disdain for Xiaoyun.

In contrast, there was a recognition in his gaze as he looked at Lin Xue.

He had no qualms revealing his identity to Lin Xue, unlike with Gu Chaoyan. Lin Xue wouldn’t divulge his secret, and he felt no concern in her presence.

“What’s your name?” The Heavenly Emperor directed his question at Lin Xue.

“Lin Xue,” she responded, keeping her head lowered.

“Raise your head,” the Heaven Emperor ordered.

Lin Xue looked up.

As soon as she looked up, her face was filled with surprise.

‘It’s him?’

Or did they just look the same?!

“Very well. From now on, you’ll accompany Chaoyan, while the other one will handle the hut’s upkeep,” declared the Heavenly Emperor. “You may depart.”

Upon hearing the assignment, Xiaoyun clenched her fists tightly.

Why her?

To be replaced by someone like Lin Xue as Chaoyan’s personal attendant?!

She dared not voice her objections in the Heavenly Emperor’s presence, but her frustration simmered beneath the surface.

Despite Xiaoyun’s agitation, the Heavenly Emperor remained in high spirits.

He removed his outer garment and reclined outside.

Such initiative from Chaoyan brought him joy.

After some consideration, he pulled her into his embrace and drifted off to sleep.

With Chaoyan’s memory loss, he wouldn’t act inappropriately, but he couldn’t let such a harmless little rabbit slip away without some form of acknowledgment, could he?

Gu Chaoyan awoke early.

Upon opening her eyes, she found herself studying the Heavenly Emperor.

Unsure of their relationship, she simply observed their current state upon waking, finding nothing amiss.

The Heavenly Emperor was alert to the slightest movement, and as soon as she stirred, his eyes snapped open.

Upon meeting her gaze, he found himself confronted by a pair of large eyes.

The Heavenly Emperor found himself at a loss for words, experiencing a truly unique sensation.

They locked eyes, a silent exchange passing between them.

When Huailan entered the room, she was taken aback by the scene before her.

Having lived for so many years, what had she just witnessed?

“Do you wish to bathe? You can eat afterward,” the Heavenly Emperor offered.

Given Gu Chaoyan’s daily treatment by the Heavenly Doctor, a bath typically preceded her feeling better.

Gu Chaoyan pondered for a moment before nodding.

With her mind unable to hold too many thoughts at once, she opted not to dwell on matters too deeply. Overthinking only resulted in a headache, so she preferred to simply follow the arrangements.

Lin Xue would oversee the bath, but being new to her role, Huailan naturally accompanied them to provide guidance and give Lin Xue time to learn.

Huailan prepared a fresh set of clothing before guiding Gu Chaoyan to the bathing area.

Gu Chaoyan, devoid of memory regarding undressing, waited by the bathtub as Huailan and Lin Xue prepared for her bath.
