Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 480 Engagement (4)_1

"My name is Ye Shaoyu, and this is my second brother, Ye Shaoting." Ye Shaoyu extended his right hand, giving Shangguan You a faint nod. His every gesture and smile were pleasing to the eye and flawless. However, the more perfect Ye Shaoyu presented himself, the more vigilant Shangguan You became.

A fleeting ripple crossed Ye Shaoting’s icy eyes as he saw Ye Shaoyu’s actions. Shangguan You, who had originally extended her hand, retracted it and said apologetically to Ye Shaoyu, "I’m sorry, but I don’t have the habit of shaking hands with strangers."

"No worries." Ye Shaoyu nodded, his smile unwavering. He didn’t care whether Shangguan You was being impolite, nor about her calling him a stranger.

"And now, may I have the honor of inviting Third Young Master Ye and Miss An Ya to dance the first dance of the night."

As the voice rang out, two spotlights shone on Ye Yixuan and An Ya. Ye Yixuan glanced at Ye Shaoyu, then at Shangguan You beside him, and steadily approached An Ya.

"Do you think my third brother is a good match with An Ya, Miss Shangguan?" Ye Shaoyu asked, watching the two dance elegantly. From the moment Ye Shaoyu approached Shangguan You, the people around them had already dispersed. Even Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Feng, who were themselves surrounded by many people, could hardly get near Shangguan You.

Looking at Ye Shaoyu’s harmless smile, one that should have disarmed any vigilance, Shangguan You still felt her heart leap into her throat. The pressure emanating from Ye Shaoyu was even more intense than that from his third brother.

"What are you trying to say?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently as she watched the two figures on the dance floor.

"Miss Shangguan, you’re not worthy of my third brother."

"Heh, Ye Shaoyu, you’re wrong. You should say that Ye Yixuan is not worthy of me," Shangguan You replied with a light laugh, scorn flashing in her eyes. Who do you think you are to say I’m not worthy of Ye Yixuan? What are you, anyway?

"Hehe, no wonder my third brother sees you differently—indeed interesting. But I must tell you, the Ye Family and the Shangguan Family will never be possible. Even if you have the four Spiritual Pearls and can refine various elixirs, the more skills you possess, the less likely it is. Right now, I think, Miss Shangguan, that you should focus more on your studies and your family."

"What are you implying?" Shangguan You raised her eyebrow, her tone turning colder. Is Ye Shaoyu actually threatening me?

"I’m merely suggesting that you stay away from my third brother and that the Blood Jade Bracelet doesn’t suit you. For the sake of the Shangguan Family, for your loved ones—you consider yourself a clever person, so you know what to choose. You need not doubt the Ye Family’s capabilities or question their power and influence. The Ye Family has considerable clout not only in Hidden World Village but also in the mundane world, not to mention their global business empire. Miss Shangguan is a clever person. If, due to one individual, the entire Shangguan Family had to pay the ultimate price, it truly wouldn’t be worth it. Don’t you think?" Ye Shaoyu’s voice remained pleasant, a joy to the ear, but the veiled threat made Shangguan You break out in a cold sweat.

The extent of the Ye Family’s power was unknown to her, but she knew that Ye Yixuan had appeared with Chairman Fang, and although subtle, Chairman Fang’s respect for him was evident.

At this thought, cold sweat beaded on Shangguan You’s forehead, and a chill ran down her spine.

"Heh, you’re a smart person; you know how to choose," Ye Shaoyu spoke again, prompting Ye Shaoting to push his wheelchair in Zhuge Feng’s direction.

Watching Ye Shaoyu’s retreating figure, Shangguan You’s eyes flashed with a chilly light. Was Ye Shaoyu overestimating himself? Even if the Ye Family’s business reached across the globe and they had special connections with the upper echelons, what did that have to do with her? She didn’t want much, and she didn’t have much to protect. Now, Ye Shaoyu dared to threaten her with the lives of Shangguan Family members!

"Wait a moment," Shangguan You’s cool voice rang out in Ye Shaoyu’s ear.

Ye Shaoting’s hand, pushing the wheelchair, paused. A spark of interest flickered in Ye Shaoyu’s eyes. She really is interesting; otherwise, how could she capture the Young Master’s attention? Turning around, Ye Shaoyu’s eyes, warm as a spring breeze, quietly met Shangguan You’s gaze, his slender hands resting gracefully on the wheelchair.

"Miss Shangguan, is there something else?" His pleasant voice, coupled with his noble bearing, involuntarily made hearts race and admiration for him blossom.

"I believe what you just said is wrong." Holding a glass of wine, Shangguan You lazily leaned against the windowsill, her deep eyes glinting faintly as she met Ye Shaoyu’s gaze. In the moment their gazes met, sparks flew. Deep down, Shangguan You disliked Ye Shaoyu, disliked this man who was fake in every way. In this world, there are no perfect people.

Ye Shaoyu raised an eyebrow, a corner of his mouth curving up lightly. "Oh—what did I say wrong? I’m all ears." A commanding aura radiated from him—cold, authoritative, dominating, ruthless, yet also gentle and tinged with a hint of killing intent. This formidable presence enveloped Shangguan You, sweeping over her like a relentless torrent.

If it were an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn’t be able to withstand Ye Shaoyu’s aura and would likely die under its pressure. But who was Shangguan You? She wasn’t even afraid of Third Young Master Ye; would she be afraid of Eldest Young Master Ye?

Ye Shaoting’s icy eyes flashed. He let go of the wheelchair and stepped back a few paces, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his blood. Ye Shaoyu’s aura was formidable; even he had to steer clear of its cutting edge. Among the Ye brothers, Ye Shaoyu was enigmatic and Ye Yixuan mysteriously unfathomable. Ye Shaoting, while colder, was arguably the most normal of the three, and everything he had was earned through his own hard work.

Shangguan You’s mouth curved up slightly. Trying to make her back down with a powerful aura? Has Ye Shaoyu picked the wrong person? Facing the overwhelming onslaught of his aura, a faint smile played upon her lips.

Ye Shaoyu was as inscrutable as Ye Yixuan, perhaps even more terrifying—this was her first impression. Her second thought was, so what if his aura was immense? Even before she broke through the first layer of her cultivation, she hadn’t been afraid of Ye Yixuan. Why would she fear Ye Shaoyu? Fear a disabled man?
