CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 312: YE SHAOSAN’S DECLARATION (4)_1

Shangguan You could clearly feel the two powerful auras emanating from the pair as they faced each other. In the past, she had thought Young Master Ye was a dangerous man. However, after spending time with him and now witnessing the appearance of the Ye Family’s Second Young Master, she truly understood the Ye Family’s formidable strength.

She believed Young Master Ye’s position within the Ye Family was, much like his own capabilities, at the very peak.

She could clearly feel the aura of the Ye Family’s Second Young Master gradually subsiding, completely enveloped by Young Master Ye’s. The two equally imposing figures stood there in silence, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

"She is my woman, the only woman I recognize as mine. I don’t want anyone else laying a hand on her. Otherwise," he stated firmly, "I wouldn’t mind destroying the entire Ye Family."

After a long moment, Young Master Ye’s voice, filled with an imposing aura, echoed across the mountaintop. His words carried a steely resolve and a profound promise; his uniquely arrogant and domineering tone spread far and wide on the wind.

"She is my woman, the only woman I recognize as mine." These few words made Shangguan You, who had been standing still, sway inexplicably. Hearing Young Master Ye’s domineering declaration, an inexplicable surge of sweetness filled her heart.

The corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up as she quietly watched Young Master Ye’s imposing back. Far from being repulsed by his words, her heart felt a faint joy.

"Young Master, are you commanding me in your capacity as the Young Master?" the Ye Family’s Second Young Master asked, his voice cold. He lowered his previously raised head, showing his respect for Young Master Ye.

"Does it make a difference? Whether it’s as the Young Master or as the Third Young Master of the Ye Family, it’s all the same to me," Young Master Ye scoffed. Only then did he notice the state of the man opposite him—his nominal second elder brother—whose hair was patchily singed from the fire. His initial cold sneer turned into loud laughter.

This girl is really something, he thought, managing to make my usually stoic second brother suffer a loss.

The Ye Family’s Second Young Master’s handsome face instantly darkened. He knew what Young Master Ye was laughing at. His eyes, tinged with killing intent, fiercely glared at Shangguan You.

"She is my woman," Young Master Ye repeated, sensing his murderous gaze.

"I know," the Ye Family’s Second Young Master ground out through gritted teeth. If he hadn’t been so arrogant, he wouldn’t have been toyed with by a woman like this. He was utterly regretful! If he had known this would be the outcome, he should have finished her off in the tunnel, giving her no chance to see his younger brother arrive.

"You know? Then why are you still glaring?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow and made a playful face at the Ye Family’s Second Young Master. This guy will be following me from now on, she thought. Let’s see how I’ll deal with him.

Just moments ago, buried in the dirt, this Ye Family’s Second Young Master called Young Master Ye ’younger brother’. Now he’s calling him ’Young Master’? What kind of convoluted relationship is this?

"HMPH."

"Girl, let’s go. You must be hungry. Let’s go home and eat," Young Master Ye said, reaching out and pulling her firmly into his embrace. The coldness on his face vanished, replaced by an enchanting smile as he looked at Shangguan You.

"Brother Qing?" The words "go home" reminded Shangguan You of Shangguan Qing and the others. She exclaimed in surprise, about to leap down the mountain.

"They’ve already gone home," Young Master Ye said softly, holding her hand and whispering in her ear. To think that fellow Shangguan Qing is still more important than me in this girl’s heart, he thought with a twinge of jealousy.

At the same time, Young Master Ye pondered how he could close the distance between them, how he could make this girl put him first.

"Did you send them back?"

"No, members of the Ye Family sent them back. Don’t worry, they’re all fine. Besides, Auntie has prepared a meal and is waiting for us to come home to eat. Let’s go." Young Master Ye’s words sounded deliberately intimate, and he certainly had a knack for quickly closing the distance between them.

’Us’? ’Auntie’? Is he even supposed to be calling her that? Shangguan You’s mouth twitched violently. That narcissistic Young Master Ye!

"Alright, Second Brother, you can head back first. Deliver my message," Young Master Ye said, glancing coldly at the Ye Family’s Second Young Master, silently urging him to leave and not be their third wheel.

"No, he can’t go back! For this month, he’s mine," Shangguan You interjected quickly. She had finally encountered someone from the Ye Family; how could she possibly let him leave?

"He’s yours?" Young Master Ye’s deep eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint within them as his gaze swept over the Ye Family’s Second Young Master. Her words, "he’s mine," greatly displeased Young Master Ye, making him feel intensely uncomfortable. This girl is mine, he fumed internally, No one can take her!

"Rest assured, I won’t leave for a month. I’ll come find you tomorrow." Sensing Young Master Ye’s potent killing intent, the Ye Family’s Second Young Master retreated a few steps, then said coolly to Shangguan You, "Remember to come up with a good excuse."

Shangguan You ignored Young Master Ye’s murderous glare and nodded in satisfaction at the Ye Family’s Second Young Master. Apart from Young Master Ye, everyone else in the Ye Family is very trustworthy.

"I will, Young Master. I’ll wait for you at the Ye Family building," the Ye Family’s Second Young Master replied. After a cursory glance at Young Master Ye, his dark figure soared into the sky like a great bird, quickly disappearing.

"Girl, you’re mine, and I’m yours, right?" Now that they were alone, Young Master Ye wrapped his arms tightly around Shangguan You once more. He rested his nose on her shoulder, inhaling her faint, sweet scent, his magnetic voice whispering in her ear.

"Wrong." Shangguan You struggled for a moment, but unable to break free, she allowed Young Master Ye to hold her. She couldn’t overpower him anyway. His face rested on her shoulder, his warm breath fanning directly onto her neck. Her body stiffened, and then, inexplicably, she began to feel a dry heat rise within her, a flush creeping up her skin.

"How is it wrong?" Young Master Ye persisted, his bewitching voice a soft murmur in her ear. Sensing her body stiffen for an instant, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing that devastatingly charming smile of his.

"I... I..." Shangguan You felt the tingling sensation on her neck and saw Young Master Ye’s captivating smile. Her voice inexplicably began to tremble. When she tried to push him away, he only held her tighter.
