The emperor was younger than Su Yi had expected. He sat behind a wide desk. A magnificent and huge chandelier hung above his head, giving people a heavy feeling of oppression.
“You are the daughter of the Su family of Star No. 2.” He said after seeing Su Yi.
Although it should be a question, he used an affirmative tone.
Su Yi nodded, “Yes.”
Star No. 2 is the planet closest to the Capital Star. The distance from the power center also represents the status. For so many years, the Su family has always wanted to go one step further and settle in the Capital Star.
The emperor looked at her and Huo Jun and said in a nonchalant tone, “Since you are dating, then get engaged.”
Su Yi raised her eyelids.
Huo Jun’s reaction was much more intense than hers. Su Yi was a point that others could not touch.
He said in a deep voice, “That is my business. It is not your turn to interfere.”
The emperor was not angry. Perhaps in his eyes, Huo Jun’s anger was no different from a joke.
“You disagree with my arrangement and refuse to leave the academy to work in the military. Aren’t you reluctant to leave her? In this case, I’ll decide to get you engaged. Isn’t it just in line with your wishes? As for the Su family, I think they will be very happy.”
“My not going to the military has nothing to do with others, and there is no need for me to listen to you. You’d better stop interfering in my affairs.” Huo Jun said with a warning.
The emperor slowly changed his posture and said, “If your mother knew that you talked to me like this, she would definitely not be happy.”
“You—”
Huo Jun took a step forward, but Su Yi pulled him, turned to the emperor, and said, “Can I talk to him alone for a few words?”
The emperor looked at her with some surprise and gestured for her to do as she pleased.
Su Yi then pulled Huo Jun out until they stopped at a deserted place.
After leaving that depressing place, Huo Jun slowly calmed down. He frowned in annoyance and said, “I shouldn’t have asked you to come with me. I’ve caused you trouble.”
“Did you cause me to lose my arms and legs, or did you cause me to go to jail? Why don’t I see where I’ve implicated you?” Su Yi asked back.
Huo Jun forced a half-smile and said in a distracted manner: “I’m still too weak.”
Su Yi shook their hands and said, “It’s not that you are too weak, but it’s that you have concerns in your heart, and he knows this, so he can restrain you.”
Although his mother and grandfather may not treat him well, Huo Jun is surprisingly not a cold person. As long as the emperor holds his mother in his hands, he has to be restricted.
If he is alone and has no weaknesses, what can the emperor threaten him with?
Huo Jun knew who she was talking about. He was stunned for a moment before saying, “She raised me after all.”
“I know.” Su Yi moved closer and looked up at him.
“If you really don’t recognize your relatives, I would think that’s not you.”
Huo Jun couldn’t help but hold her hand in his palm and squeeze it gently, saying with a wry smile: “It’s a pity that I can’t give them what they want, and I don’t want to give it to them.”
His grandfather and mother were like hostages in the hands of the emperor, forcing him to do what he wanted. The funny thing was that those hostages were willing to do so because they wanted him to listen to the emperor obediently so that they could gain more benefits.
“Then, give them what you want to give. You are you, not a puppet in someone else’s hands, nor a tool for them to gain benefits. Even if you have to compromise now, it is for a better future.”
Huo Jun still frowned, “But he wants us—”
“Want us to get engaged?” Su Yi added.
Then she asked: “You don’t want to get engaged to me?”
“Of course not. Of course, I want to!” Huo Jun said immediately.
His eyes turned to her face, drifted for a moment, and then turned away, staring at a corner of the wall.
“But not in this situation, under his order. And… I haven’t prepared anything, and I haven’t proposed to you, with flowers, rings, fireworks, etc…”
Su Yi pursed her lips and held back her smile, so as not to make someone angry.
He said a lot, maybe the key point was just the last sentence?
Su Yi didn’t expect that he, who was always smiling in front of her and could fight with Zerg in close combat, was quite innocent and had a little bit of romantic cells.
She said, “Don’t you think the most important point is that we haven’t known each other for long, and we’ve only been dating for a few days?”
Huo Jun immediately turned back to look at her, and his tone was a little cautious in his tentativeness, “So you don’t want to get engaged?”
