The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Tan Tai Yun Yi was silent for a long while, then looked at her and said, "Maybe... When I first met her, she looked very pure and was well protected by the people here. Arrogant, cold, and keeps people at a distance. These all explain the problem. But precisely because of this, I feel uncomfortable looking at her. She and I are somewhat similar. If there are any differences, it is only because of the changes caused by different environments. I really want to know what decision she will make when she falls in love with someone, so... maybe I will know what I should do. So, there happened what happened later." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly.

These words made Situ Yaorao want to slap him to death.

Just because of his speculation, just because of his thoughts, he dragged a good girl into this emotional vortex? Should I say that he is truly worthy of being Tan Tai Yun Yi? Or should I beat him up first?

Just when Situ Yaorao was still hesitating whether to hit him first or praise him first, Tantai Yunyi had already put his arm around her waist. Situ Yaorao was furious at the touch and was about to run away when she heard the man say in her ear, "Don't go."

Tantai Yunyi looked a little fragile, as if he'd truly encountered some kind of problem. It was as if... this wasn't him anymore. This feeling made Situ Yaorao a little worried.

Although this person always opposed her, she didn't dislike him at all. Instead, she admired him. If possible, she would like to be friends with him. Thinking about this, Situ Yaorao asked, "Have you encountered any problems?"

"Yeah, I was wondering... if you fall in love with someone, is it better to forget them, or remember them forever?" The man's tone was calm, but Situ Yaorao could hear his seriousness. She had just brought up this topic with Yu Sheng today; it was a coincidence.

"Yu Sheng and I discussed this matter today, and the reason was because of the forgetfulness pill that was auctioned. We were discussing whether it is better to forget or not to forget. Yu Sheng told me that feelings are precious wealth. Although it is painful to ask for but not get, but... it is also a kind of happiness, because you have loved. If you forget your loved one, you will inevitably have no memory. Without memory, people are incomplete. When people are old, they recall the past, and those beautiful pasts are their real wealth. So, it is not worthwhile to forget." Situ Yaorao said step by step.

"He must not really be in love with anyone." Tantai Yunyi said decisively. There was no way around it, this was a typical case of talking without any pain.

After hearing Tan Tai Yun Yi's comments, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but smile. "How clever! This guy probably hasn't really liked anyone before. But, compared to this, I'm more curious about which girl you've fallen in love with."

"Keep it secret... Since you are discussing this with Yu Sheng, what is your answer?" Compared to Yu Sheng's answer, Tan Tai Yun Yi cared more about Situ Yaorao's choice.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao said, "Although memory is precious and falling in love with someone is not easy. However, if it is painful, it is better to forget. At least, if you forget, you won't have to endure the pain of wanting but not getting. For a person, the most important thing is whether you are happy. It doesn't matter whether you forget or not, as long as you follow your heart, it will be fine." Situ Yaorao smiled after she finished speaking.

"That's not an answer at all, is it?" Situ Yaorao said helplessly. However, this was indeed what she was thinking.

"Well, this is not an answer at all. But... it solves the doubts in my heart. Situ, if you like someone, you don't have to remember him/her for a lifetime. If you remember him/her for a lifetime, maybe you like him/her. But, if you forget him/her, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't like him/her. Sometimes, forgetting is good for everyone." There was something hidden in Tan Tai Yun Yi's words.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao blinked and shook her head decisively: "I don't understand. Tantai Yunyi, are you attracted to this little nun?

Why do you suddenly act like you've seen through everything?"

"It would be fine if it was the little nun. The person I like is the person I should least like in this world. So, if I don't forget, someone is bound to be sad." Tan Tai Yunyi smiled bitterly.

Having said that, if Situ Yaorao still didn't understand what was going on, then she was a fool. Looking at Tantai Yunyi, Situ Yaorao became serious: "Are you the fool who spent a lot of money to buy the Forgetfulness Pill today?"

"Fool?" Tantai Yunyi was amused by Situ Yaorao's name. But he had to admit, "Ah, I am the fool. What's wrong? Do you have any advice?"

"Advice? No. But... I kind of want to hit you. You are so rich, can you please help a poor person like me? Do you know how wasteful you are? One pill costs one million and five hundred thousand taels?" Situ Yaorao almost pointed at Tan Tai Yunyi's nose and called him a prodigal son.

Tan Tai Yun Yi was mortified by Situ Yaorao's scolding, but a barely perceptible smile remained on his face. If someone who knew Tan Tai Yun Yi were here at this moment, they would definitely be surprised.

You know, Tantai Yunyi isn't really a good-tempered person. If someone else were the one cursing now, he would definitely make that person cry without a trace.

"Really? How can there be a prodigal like you in this world?" Situ Yaorao said with a disappointed look on his face.

"There's no other way. I really want to forget her, so I have to use this method." Tan Tai Yun Yi said with a smile.

"Alright, it's your freedom. If it hurts, forget it. At least this way, the next time I see you, you'll still be the calm, composed, and strategic Tan Tai Yun Yi," Situ Yaorao soothed softly. After all, wanting something but not getting it is truly painful. Why would someone like Tan Tai Yun Yi take the Forgetfulness Pill if he wasn't desperate?

"Do you... really want me to forget?" Tan Tai Yunyi had a strange expression.

"Ah? What's the problem?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"Heh! No, there's no problem. I just found it a little funny. It turns out that I have fallen into the cause and effect after all." After Tan Tai Yun Yi said this, he took out the Forgetfulness Pill and swallowed it.

"Do you feel anything?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked puzzledly.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi simply smiled, pulled Situ Yaorao over, and placed his thin lips on hers. It was a very pure moment... There was no further action, because Tantai Yunyi had fainted.

Situ Yaorao's eyes widened, unable to believe what Tantai Yunyi had just done to her. Some things could be connected in one instant.

Thinking of Tan Tai Yun Yi's strange behavior just now and his unusual questions tonight, all of this told her one truth: Tan Tai Yun Yi was in love with her.

However, she is the future Crown Princess, and Tan Tai Yun Yi is Tan Tai Wu Yue's strategist and brother.

If he doesn't forget this feeling, the trust between brothers will be reduced, and maybe one day, they will even become enemies.

But forgetting this feeling... Situ Yaorao took a deep breath and kicked Tan Tai Yun Yi fiercely: "Really, too cunning. You want to forget, but you still want me to know. Tan Tai Yun Yi, you really don't want to lose in anything."
