Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 438 Zhuge Feng’s Secret 1(4)_1

Ye’s Third Young Master’s deep eyes flashed. As the girl left, he felt an unfamiliar emptiness in his arms. He shook his head involuntarily, observing her agitated figure, and quickly followed.

Shangguan You sensed a slight disturbance by her ear. Ye’s Third Young Master had silently taken his place beside her. The two of them followed Zhuge Feng into the embrace of darkness.

As soon as they entered the villa, Shangguan You’s eyebrows knitted together slightly. Is that a familiar scent in the room? Ye’s Third Young Master patted her shoulder, and without a sound, they hid in the shadows. Shangguan You’s eyes flickered; she took out an Enchanting Fragrance from her space, similar to the one in the room, and lit it.

Zhuge Feng sat down on the sofa, flipping through some documents. After a while, he took a deep breath and turned to head upstairs.

Throughout the five-story villa, only Zhuge Feng’s figure was present. The place was clean, and everything was well-organized. It was even noticeable that many items were brand new.

"Zhuge Feng is a mysterious man," Ye’s Third Young Master began softly, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear. "He spends very little time in Hidden World Village throughout the year, and no one knows where he goes after leaving. He always claims to be in seclusion, so family affairs are handled by the Elders Council. However, no one knows if he is truly in seclusion. Last time, my people even heard an interesting piece of news."

Seeing Shangguan You raise an eyebrow, he continued, "Zhuge Feng returned here three months ago. Since then, he has kept a low profile, leaving family matters to the Elders Council and only intervening in special situations. Then, half a month ago, the other Zhuge Feng returned, and our first Zhuge Feng has since directed all his energy towards this newcomer Zhuge Feng."

"Many rumors suggest Zhuge Feng might abdicate and let that Young Master take over as Family Head. Zhuge Feng is one of the few people I’ve met who isn’t particularly interested in power or the position of Family Head. Sometimes, I really admire him." Ye’s Third Young Master’s eyes showed considerable admiration. It seemed he knew more about Zhuge Feng, but since he didn’t elaborate, Shangguan You didn’t ask.

Anyway, I’ll find out when the time is right. Besides, I have a premonition that I’ll learn everything I want to know tonight, Shangguan You thought.

"He loves only beauty, not territory, and is indifferent to the Zhuge Family—his personality is somewhat similar to mine," Ye’s Third Young Master said with considerable self-admiration.

Shangguan You’s mouth twitched fiercely. Loving beauty over territory... I’m really speechless with this guy! It’s not like these are ancient times. Loving beauty over territory, my foot! Is there even any ’territory’ to speak of nowadays?

"Girl, I truly love only beauty, not territory. You must believe me!" Ye’s Third Young Master, seeing Shangguan You’s attitude, hurriedly explained, as if afraid she wouldn’t believe him.

CREAK. A door upstairs seemed to open. They exchanged glances and quickly followed. Shangguan You could have hidden in her space and remained completely unnoticed. However, with Ye’s Third Young Master at her side, sneaking in without alerting Zhuge Feng would be more challenging.

"Girl, let’s go." Ye’s Third Young Master gave Shangguan You a gentle smile, and then his tall figure eerily vanished from her side. "Girl, I am the Young Master of the Ye Family. If I didn’t have a few trump cards, how could I command respect from others? I know you have your secrets too. Let’s go." His pleased voice sounded in her ear. Seeing Shangguan You’s shocked expression, his mood brightened considerably. "Quickly now. If we don’t move, Zhuge Feng will leave." His voice resonated again by her ear, letting her know he was still close.

"Alright, I understand," Shangguan You replied. With a flicker, she disappeared into her space.

"Girl, this way." Although Shangguan You couldn’t see Ye’s Third Young Master, she could clearly hear his voice beside her.

"Right," she responded, heading towards the spot where Zhuge Feng had disappeared.

CREAK. Zhuge Feng entered the study on the second floor.

"Zhuge Feng, are you even a man?" A haughty female voice rang out. THUD! The door was kicked open, and a woman dressed in olden-style clothing, embroidered with large Chinese crabapple blossoms, walked in arrogantly.

"What are you doing here?" Zhuge Feng frowned upon seeing the visitor and spoke coldly, his posture remaining elegantly seated.

"What am I doing here? The nerve of you to ask! Zhuge Feng, let me ask you, where do I, Haitang, stand in your heart? Do I even exist to you? Speak!" Haitang demanded loudly, tears streaming down her beautiful face, which looked utterly pitiful.

This woman is Haitang, the one who was chasing Bai Muxue! Shangguan You thought. I didn’t expect her to show up in Zhuge Feng’s study. And Zhuge Feng hasn’t even thrown her out? That’s truly remarkable.

"Haitang, please remember your place. This is not somewhere you should be," Zhuge Feng’s voice turned colder, his icy gaze sweeping over Haitang.

"Why can’t I be here? First Bai Muxue, then you, Zhuge Feng—both of you disregard me! Am I really so unappealing to you?" Haitang yelled.

"What you look like is of no concern to me. Leave immediately," Zhuge Feng said coldly, his gaze moving back to his book, no longer paying Haitang any attention.

Zhuge Feng is truly heartless, not even sparing such a beauty a glance! Shangguan You mused. Could he be... impotent? she speculated. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"The hardest thing to refuse is a beauty’s favor. Zhuge Feng is such a blockhead! Just look at that waist, that face," Ye’s Third Young Master’s teasing voice sounded in Shangguan You’s ear.

"I bet if it were *you*, *you’d* have pounced on her long ago!" Shangguan You retorted, a touch of jealousy in her voice. Though, this Haitang is, admittedly, quite a beauty.

"If it were you, I would definitely pounce. Girl, are you jealous?" Even though she couldn’t pinpoint Ye’s Third Young Master’s location, Shangguan You could clearly hear his voice.

"Hmph!" Shangguan You snorted coldly, ignoring Ye’s Third Young Master’s teasing tone, and continued to watch the scene unfolding between the man and the woman in the room.
