Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 501 Trust (2)_1
He couldn’t just stand by and watch this girl ruin Third Young Master Ye. He absolutely could not let that happen. Thinking of this, Eldest Young Master Ye grew even calmer, his mind racing with ways to handle the situation.
"Big brother, I’ve said it before: I like her and want to be with her. Everything else has nothing to do with me," Third Young Master Ye spoke quietly, lowering his head to look at the girl in his arms. He watched her eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings and gently said, "Girl, wake up." His tone held a tenderness that belied his earlier iciness.
Shangguan You had initially wanted to feign sleep, but she couldn’t keep it up. She opened her eyes, wrapped her arms around Third Young Master Ye’s neck, and proactively planted a kiss on his cheek. Then, she hopped down from his embrace. "That’s your reward," Shangguan You said with a light laugh, her face blushing red. Since Third Young Master Ye had already publicly declared his feelings, she naturally wouldn’t be stingy with a kiss.
"Heh," Third Young Master Ye chuckled softly, extending his arm to draw her back into his embrace. His eyes, brighter than any star, shone with immense joy. This was the first time this girl had kissed him. Although many had seen it, Third Young Master Ye was overjoyed; he loved her directness.
If not for the inappropriate setting and the need to maintain his authority as Young Master, he would have thoroughly cherished her then and there. What a pity, indeed.
Seeing Third Young Master Ye’s star-bright eyes, Shangguan You’s face flushed an even deeper red, and she buried her head in his chest.
An Ya’s malicious gaze fiercely bore into Shangguan You. She was the Young Master’s fiancée! Why wouldn’t he even spare her a glance, yet lavish all his gentle attention on this wretched girl? Why?
"An Ya," Ye Zhiqiu glanced at his daughter, softly reminding her, "Your gaze is too malevolent. If you don’t retract it, the Young Master will not spare you."
"I know," An Ya lowered her head, speaking faintly. She hadn’t forgotten the scene she witnessed tonight; she didn’t want to suffer a similar fate. She would survive and become the Ye Family’s matriarch.
"An Ya, you stay here and handle the aftermath. Big brother, Second brother, let’s go over there," Third Young Master Ye commanded. An Ya and her people remained to wait for the fire to be extinguished, while he walked towards a nearby villa with Shangguan You in his arms.
The corners of Third Young Master Ye’s lips curved slightly upwards; it was clear his mood was excellent. The Second Young Master quickly followed.
Eldest Young Master Ye watched the two leave, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes darting as his mind spun with schemes. A glint sharpened in his eyes, and a faint smile touched his lips. Enjoy your night of triumph. We’ll see how you cry tomorrow.
After a while, Eldest Young Master Ye had someone push him to slowly follow them.
An Ya watched the departing crowd and stamped her foot in frustration, resigned to staying behind and cleaning up the mess. Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, glanced at his disappointing daughter, and sighed. He strode away—out of sight, out of mind.
「The next morning,」 sunshine spilled generously into the room. Shangguan You opened her eyes, walked into the bathroom, and quickly changed. She knew Third Young Master Ye was leaving today; the tasks she came here to do were also completed. It was time for her to leave as well.
From the moment she opened her eyes, an unsettling feeling brushed past her heart. Her initially calm heart gradually grew flustered. It seems something is about to happen. And it’s not good.
She had just stepped out of the bathroom when a knock sounded at the door. Shangguan You quickly finished dressing and opened it to find Eldest Young Master Ye at the entrance. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes. He should be preparing for his departure; why would he come looking for me?
"Miss Shangguan, won’t you invite me in?" Eldest Young Master Ye asked gently. He seemed cloaked in a soft, gentle light, making it difficult to look away. Shangguan You averted her gaze, her guard instinctively rising, and she couldn’t help but glance at the room next door. If I recall correctly, the Third Young Master’s room is next to mine. Why would the Eldest Young Master be here so early?
"Are you looking for the Young Master?" Eldest Young Master Ye asked, noticing her glance.
"Yes," Shangguan You replied briefly. Her meaning was clear: she disliked the Eldest Young Master, and they had nothing to discuss.
"The Young Master went out with Second Brother; they’ll be back in half an hour," Eldest Young Master Ye said slowly, explaining his presence.
"Eldest Young Master, if you have something to discuss, let’s just talk here," Shangguan You said, her guard deepening.
"You’re a smart woman; you know what I’m talking about," Eldest Young Master Ye said with a smile, watching Shangguan You calmly. She had good looks and a good figure, but she was just too young. What on earth did the Young Master see in such a girl?
"I don’t know," Shangguan You shook her head, her gaze steady on Eldest Young Master Ye.
"Heh. The Young Master and you—one is a cloud in the sky, the other is mud on the ground. You are not worthy of the Young Master, and the Ye Family will not permit you to enter its doors. As long as you’re willing to leave the Young Master, I will agree to any condition." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The words from the Eldest Young Master made Shangguan You want to cough up three liters of blood. Damn it, was she really that bad? And was she the type of person to abandon the Third Young Master just for some conditions?
"Eldest Young Master, you must have come to the wrong place," Shangguan You arched an eyebrow, her voice cold. "Whether cloud or mud, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, even if I am mud on the ground and Third Young Master Ye is a cloud in the sky, he is willing to accompany the mud on the ground rather than be a cloud in the sky. As for conditions, what do you take Third Young Master Ye for? Merchandise to be bought and sold at will?"
"Heh. So Third Brother likes you, so what? Do you know what he cares about most?" The Eldest Young Master chuckled softly, and with a wave of his hands, a powerful gust of wind surged towards Shangguan You.
"You’re truly shameless!" Shangguan You’s figure flashed as she quickly dodged. Good thing I was on guard; otherwise, I would have suffered at the Eldest Young Master’s hands.
"Shameless? So what? You are fundamentally unworthy of Third Brother. Since he’s reluctant to part with you, then I’ll make you disappear from this world forever. Let’s see how Third Brother marries you then, how he can insist on marrying none but you! There are plenty of women in the world; it’s not as if you’re the only one." The Eldest Young Master sneered, his attacks growing increasingly ruthless.
