"Girl, this time you saved my life, and my life is yours now. I have nothing to repay you with, so I’ve decided to devote myself to you. Girl, what do you say to that?" Ye Sanshao’s deep eyes twinkled as he quietly watched Shangguan You. His words caused her to cough uncontrollably, and her body even swayed gently a few times.
This... this man before her, was he still the Ye Sanshao she knew? Was he still that enchanting and domineering Ye Sanshao? To offer himself in return—he could actually say such things!
Ye Ershao, standing beside them, staggered and almost fell. The Young Master actually said such things! It’s truly hard to believe.
"Girl, you’re the one who woke me, so you can’t reject me. Understand?" Ye Sanshao’s words left Shangguan You once again in turmoil. Has Ye Sanshao completely changed? He can really say such things!
Seeing the shocked expression on Shangguan You’s face, Ye Sanshao nodded with satisfaction. He leaned his head into her embrace, finding a comfortable spot, and his smooth arm reached out, gently encircling her neck. With a flip of his body, Shangguan You found herself in his arms.
Their positions changed in an instant as Ye Sanshao pulled Shangguan You into his embrace, his captivating gaze quietly watching her.
"Girl," Ye Sanshao called softly, then leaned down and tenderly kissed her lips. For seven whole months, he hadn’t seen her. Though he knew about everything she did, he still worried, still missed her. Now that she had appeared before him again, even waking him up ahead of schedule, Ye Sanshao felt not only surprise but also a flutter in his heart. In her heart, just like in his, there’s a place for me.
The familiar sensation on her lips brought Shangguan You back from her shock. His kiss was gentle and soft, yet within the tenderness was his characteristic assertiveness. With his hands, covered in pinpricks from IVs, he gently caressed the back of her head, making it impossible for her to refuse his kiss, his love.
Initially, Shangguan You resisted, truly wanting to slap Ye Sanshao a few times. But his overwhelming kiss held her tightly and wouldn’t let go. She wrapped her arms around Ye Sanshao and slowly began to return his kiss, even biting down hard on his lips.
Ye Ershao stood behind them, watching the couple passionately kissing. He turned away. The Young Master initiated a kiss? His heart filled with shock and a deep sense of loss.
He still couldn’t compare to the Young Master. Even though Ye Sanshao had been away for seven months, and he himself had been with her almost constantly during that time, her heart held no place for him.
"Girl, are you part dog or something?" Ye Sanshao touched his swollen lips, looking at Shangguan You’s similarly reddened ones, and teased.
Seeing the blush on her face, his lips curved into a smirk. With a reach of his hand, he drew Shangguan You even closer into his embrace.
"Girl, I will take responsibility, rest assured. When the time comes, I’ll make sure you marry me in splendid fashion."
"Who asked you to take responsibility? It’s not like I care that you bit me. Besides, I already have a fiancé—the Shangguan Family’s live-in son-in-law." Shangguan You’s words sent a chill through Ye Sanshao. A live-in son-in-law? Who dares try to steal my wife?
"Girl, that joke isn’t funny at all," Ye Sanshao said, his tone deceptively light as he gently played with her hair. No matter who it is, I have ways to make them disappear. Daring to compete with me for my wife? They must be courting death. A flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
"I’m not joking. It’s all true, and the elders from both families have agreed. I’ve even accepted the engagement ring," Shangguan You said with a light laugh. She gestured with her hand, and a sparkling purple diamond appeared in her palm—the very engagement ring Yu Zifeng had given her.
Ye Sanshao’s gaze narrowed dangerously, and he reached out to snatch the ring. But Shangguan You withdrew it back into her storage space just as quickly, causing his hand to grasp at thin air.
"Girl, who gave it to you?" Ye Sanshao asked through gritted teeth, his heart seething with resentment. From September until now—seven whole months—and she actually accepted another man’s ring? This is unbearable!
"Naturally, it was from a man," Shangguan You said, quirking an eyebrow. Since Ye Sanshao is willing to hold me, why should I spurn the attention of a handsome man? I might as well enjoy his embrace.
"Girl, you are the woman I, Ye Sanshao, like. So no matter who it is, I will snatch you back. Nobody can take you from me. Moreover, since you saved me, I must offer myself to repay you." Ye Sanshao’s voice, slightly cold at first, gradually became playful, even taking on a hint of roguishness. He had decided to latch onto her, whether she agreed or not. From now on, he wasn’t going anywhere; he was going to follow Shangguan You.
Shangguan You’s lips twitched. "Since you’re so willing, Ye Sanshao," she said airily, "you can be my number two husband. One more or one less won’t make a difference. This young lady can handle a few more suitors and still enjoy the attention." Her flippant remark nearly made Ye Sanshao strangle the little woman in his arms.
Number two husband? She certainly has some nerve!
"Girl," Ye Sanshao said, a dangerous edge to his voice. His arms tightened around her, and his cold, arrogant aura instantly enveloped Shangguan You.
Shangguan You frowned slightly. She waved her hand, and a vial of antiseptic medicine appeared. She quickly applied it to the needle marks on Ye Sanshao’s arms, and the small puncture wounds began to heal rapidly. As for Ye Sanshao’s threatening aura, she chose to ignore it. After all, he wouldn’t really harm me, would he?
"They’re here," Shangguan You said calmly, standing up. "You should think about how we’re going to get out of here today. We can discuss other matters after we escape." The sounds she heard were creaks and rustles; the entire villa was now surrounded.
Ye Dashao has brought a group of people and completely surrounded the villa? They certainly arrived quickly. Shangguan You couldn’t help but sigh inwardly again.
