"Family Head Bai, instead of resting well at ho, why have you appeared here? What business do you have?" Ye Young Master clutched Shangguan You’s hand gently. Damn Ye Muxue! Damn Bai Tianche! Appearing now of all tis to ruin my mont!
Moreover, Bai Muxue’s gaze upon Shangguan You seed a bit off, which only stoked Ye Young Master’s irritation further. Bai Tianche spoke, "Ye Young Master, I’m well aware that you seldom interfere in or handle the affairs of the Ye Family. But regarding the Gu, do you really plan to only destroy those things? You should know, if word of this gets out, countless people will fall under Ye Eldest Young Master’s control."
"What of it? That’s an internal matter of the Ye Family, irrelevant to others, and even more so to the Bai Family," Ye Young Master’s voice suddenly turned cold, a powerful aura emanating from him. "Spreading such things is even less likely, and I won’t allow it."
Bai Tianche and Bai Muxue couldn’t help but take two steps back, their eyes flickering as they looked at Ye Young Master. Ye Young Master is indeed unfathomable. Whether his capabilities are a curse or a blessing is unknown.
"Uncle Bai, Young Master Bai, why have you appeared here in the dead of night?" Shangguan You’s lips curved up as she addressed the two, who looked faintly embarrassed.
"Girl, I ca here for you," Bai Tianche stated, glancing at Shangguan You before turning his eyes to Ye Young Master and speaking with renewed conviction.
"That’s right, girl, we ca for you."
Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, looking at Bai Tianche. Bai Muxue’s gaze also rested on Bai Tianche, while Ye Young Master’s eyes narrowed, fixing Bai Tianche with a dangerous look.
"Little girl, I know you’re doing well out there, and you know that Muxue has never left this place. So tonight, I ca to ask you to take good care of Muxue," Bai Tianche said unabashedly under the gaze of the three, speaking as if he had every right to.
Shangguan You rolled her eyes. Bai Tianche is so shaless! Caught red-handed, yet he can still find such an excuse. It’s almost admirable.
"Family Head Bai, are you mistaken?" Ye Young Master’s voice turned cold. It should be Bai Muxue looking after Shangguan You, not the other way around! Besides, my girl is supposed to take care of **, not so other man! Ye Young Master felt an uncomfortable acidity in his heart.
"Ahem, the Family Head is right," Bai Muxue said, a blush rising on his face, which grew hotter under Shangguan You’s teasing look. "It’s my first ti away from ho, and I’m not used to it. So, I’ve decided to follow Miss Shangguan and hope she will take good care of in the future."
"In the future, I’ll trouble you with Muxue’s affairs. When you leave, please take Muxue with you," Bai Tianche said quickly. "It’s getting late, so Muxue and I will leave first and not disturb your discussion. Ye Young Master, you should also be mindful of the ti and not disturb Miss Shangguan’s rest." Then, pulling Bai Muxue along, they re-entered the secret chamber and swiftly departed.
"Bai Tianche, Bai Muxue," Ye Young Master called out, his voice and eyes cold.
"Alright, they were just responsible for security here. Since the Young Masters of the Ye Family have all appeared, it’s no big deal for them to check up on things," Shangguan You said, tugging Ye Young Master’s arm as she watched the two disappear.
"Girl, so you’re helping outsiders instead of ! If it weren’t for them, we..." Ye Young Master said, regret lacing his voice.
"We what? Enough. It’s late. You should go back and rest. We can talk about anything else tomorrow," Shangguan You interrupted, pushing him out the door and locking it. She then buried herself under the bedcovers, her mind replaying the night’s events.
Ye Young Master, looking at the tightly shut door, sighed deeply before walking into an adjacent room. Inside, Ye Eldest Young Master, seated in a wheelchair, offered a gentle smile to Ye Young Master.
"Little Brother."
"Big Brother."
On the dark balcony, Ye Young Master lounged against the railing, his deep eyes looking out at the pitch-black night sky. Ye Eldest Young Master sat in his wheelchair. Each held a glass of red wine, slowly savoring it. Ye Second Young Master also stepped onto the balcony. His characteristically cold figure leaned against the railing as he took the glass of wine Ye Young Master offered. At that mont, they were simply brothers—not the Young Masters of their family, not the Eldest or Second Young Master.
"Second Brother, Little Brother, it’s been a long ti since we’ve had such leisure," Eldest Young Master remarked.
"Yes, I rember when we were children," Eldest Young Master continued, a nostalgic smile on his face. "Second Brother always followed around, constantly calling out ’Big Brother’."
"Yes, I liked following Big Brother back then," Second Young Master said. "Your aura, Big Brother, always drew people in. I grew up with you, and you even taught my martial arts."
"Second Brother and I grew up together, in a way," Third Brother said. "But I was taken by the family Elders for personal tutelage from the mont I was born, missing out on the happiness a child ought to experience."
"Actually, I may not have had playmates by Elder Yi’s side, but he treated very well, passing all his life’s teachings onto . If it weren’t for Big Brother’s accident, the position of Young Master of the Ye Family wouldn’t have fallen to ," Third Brother chuckled.
"Third Brother, I had no regrets saving you then, and I still don’t. My leg’s fate was sealed. Crippled or not, the position of Young Master of the Ye Family was always ant for you. Only you are fit to hold it securely," Eldest Young Master said leisurely, as though reminiscing.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, no matter what, we are brothers. Whatever Big Brother does, just rember, you are a mber of the Ye Family," Second Young Master added.
"Big Brother, if you hadn’t taken that hit for , your leg wouldn’t be like this," Third Brother uttered regretfully.
"Little Brother, you lazybones," Eldest Young Master responded warmly. "Don’t dwell on the past. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be alive, let alone fit enough to help you manage the Ye Family."
"Big Brother, the position of Family Head was rightfully yours. Besides, you know my personality; I despise trouble. That’s why I left the entire family in your hands," Third Brother revealed.
In the room, the three brothers chatted over wine about past events. Regardless of what happened, they were always the three brothers of the Ye Family. No matter what Eldest Young Master did, Ye Young Master would never bla him, because Eldest Young Master’s disability was a result of saving him.
