After clearing her mind of all sorts of thoughts, she walked toward the girl standing under the banyan tree.

"Hello, I'm from the Lian family. Is Young Master Ye here?"

"?"

Hua Qingyan, who was standing under the banyan tree deep in thought, heard an unfamiliar female voice, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then looked up at the source of the voice.

What came into her view was a young lady from a prominent family wearing a pink cheongsam, with a maid following behind her.

If I heard correctly, this young lady is here to see her Hanhan?

Does he know this lady?

When Fairy Flower thought of this, she subconsciously frowned, displeased.

She didn't like him being involved with other girls, so she spoke in a very calm tone, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Sorry, I'm not sure."

After saying that, he turned and left in the opposite direction.

She decided to go out for some fresh air!

She had been waiting for Ye Minghan in the yard for half an hour, but she didn't know where he had gone and he hadn't come back yet!

Since he was so busy, she went out shopping by herself.

Today is the second day of the Chamber of Commerce meeting; that commercial street should be even more bustling.

She didn't even have a chance to go shopping yesterday; he kept her confined to the restaurant the whole time.

Having been "locked up" by him for ten years, she has now decided to "rebel" for once.

This is the first time in my life that I've gotten angry because of jealousy.

Perhaps she had truly been spoiled too much by him, and even the slightest bit of jealousy was magnified infinitely, causing the absurd thought of him falling for someone else to surface in her mind.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and even in her high heels, she walked as if on flat ground.

Her alluring figure, captivating and enchanting, quickly disappeared around the corner.

Lian Xin was still standing under the tree, looking at the tightly closed courtyard, wondering to herself:

Is Ye Shao not here?

The maid following behind her noticed the approaching wheelchair and quickly whispered the news:

"Miss, Young Master Ye is back."

Upon hearing the name "Young Master Ye," Lian Xin reflexively looked up.

Those handsome features were instantly captured in her eyes.

My heart was racing, and I was also a little scared. His aura was so cold that I didn't dare to get close.

As the distance drew closer, she mustered her courage and stepped forward, blocking the path and staring directly at Ye Minghan, who was only two meters away from her.

When Deputy Yang saw that the Lian family's daughter had so rudely trespassed into their home, his opinion of her plummeted.

He stopped the wheelchair where he was, then stepped forward, blocking her infatuated gaze that was fixed on Ye Shao, and said to her coldly:

"Miss Lian, this is the Ye family's territory. Please leave immediately, or weapons will not be so ruthless."

One sentence instantly cooled Lian Xin's racing heart.

But she didn't leave. Her hands clenched tightly together, she silently encouraged herself, and spoke frankly to Ye Minghan across from Yang, the adjutant:

"Young Master Ye, I've come to find you. I love you, and I want to marry you."

"!!!"

Upon hearing such a blunt declaration of love, Lieutenant Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This is the first woman, apart from the little maid, who has ever been so bold.

I wonder if her young master will look at her differently, find her interesting, and then take her into his harem?

The young girl who has been with Ye Shao for ten years is probably going to cry her eyes out. She is so infatuated with the young master, and now that a mistress has suddenly appeared, will she be so heartbroken that she runs away from home?

The more Yang's thoughts wandered, the more she thought about it, and she even considered what would happen if the young master didn't want her anymore.

Or, could he coax her back to his home? And then he'd take care of her?

Although he had never seen the girl's true face, he had seen her for ten years and couldn't bear to see her sad or upset.

Unaware of Lieutenant Yang's thoughts, Ye Minghan sat in his wheelchair, toying with the jade in his hand, and uttered three words colder than the dead of winter:

"Are you worthy?"

The three cold and ruthless words, though not loud, were heard clearly by everyone present.

Lian Xin's face had turned deathly pale. This was the first time anyone had ever spoken to her like that, especially the person she most wanted to marry.

She reached up to wipe away the tears that were dripping down her cheeks, turned around and ran away in embarrassment, with the maid behind her following closely behind.

Deputy Yang immediately pulled himself back from the brink of delusion, daring not to entertain any further thoughts.

He immediately turned around, walked behind his young master, grabbed the wheelchair handles, and pushed him to the courtyard gate.

After unlocking the door with his fingerprint, Ye Minghan took control of his electric wheelchair and went inside.

For the past ten years, Deputy Officer Yang had not been allowed to enter the courtyard, so he could only stay outside and await his young master's orders.

After the courtyard gate was closed, Ye Minghan stopped pretending to be "disabled," stood up, and walked into the master bedroom to find his beloved girl.

But he searched the entire bedroom and couldn't find the little figure he longed for.

His heart suddenly began to panic.

His deep pupils suddenly contracted; he was afraid of her leaving.

The next second, he couldn't care less about anything else and rushed around the villa, looking for his Yan Yan.

Once he was sure she wasn't there, he immediately stepped out of the villa, opened the gate, and ran along the tree-lined path.

Yang, the adjutant who was still waiting at the gate, stared wide-eyed at Ye Shao, who was walking briskly. What kind of science fiction movie is this?

Ye Shao, who had been lame for 24 years, has actually recovered? He can walk again?

Thinking he was dreaming, he subconsciously reached out and slapped himself hard.

A sharp pain immediately followed, confirming to him that this was real.

But at this moment, he had no time to think about it and could only hurry to catch up with his young master.

On this day, when everyone saw the tall and handsome Ye Shao walking briskly down the path, they were as shocked as if they had seen an alien land on Earth, and could hardly believe it.
