"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Siyuan instinctively stepped forward to block him when he saw him about to lay hands on his sister.
Ye Jingyu didn't even register Su Siyuan's meager strength. With one hand, he snatched the little dumpling and tucked her into his arms.
Ye Jingkun's face darkened. "Third brother, this is Kun Wang Manor, not your Yu Wang Manor. Shouldn't you report to me before entering?"
He barged in so brazenly. What did he think this place was?
"Although Kun Wang Manor is my imperial brother's territory, there is something on this territory that does not belong to my imperial brother. I am merely here to reclaim it."
As Ye Jingyu spoke, he held the little dumpling tightly in his embrace.
Ye Jingkun frowned fiercely, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
It seemed this man had arranged for people to watch Mo Mo, otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly and rushed here to snatch her.
Su Siyuan, hearing the veiled words between the two, felt something was amiss but couldn't quite place it.
However, seeing his precious sister being held by Ye Jingyu made him uncomfortable. He stepped forward to snatch her back. "Give Mo Mo back!"
Mo Mo was a child of the General's Manor; she didn't need anyone else to hold her!
Ye Jingyu dodged his hand, holding the little dumpling, and walked towards the exit.
"Hey! That's my sister!" Su Siyuan gritted his teeth in anger as he watched him leave.
A hint of displeasure also flashed in Ye Jingkun's eyes, but it quickly vanished. His gaze fell on Su Siyuan, his eyes flickering as he spoke with hidden meaning.
"It seems my third brother has quite a good impression of Mo Mo. That's a good thing, but his temper is a bit unruly. I hope it won't hurt the little girl."
Upon hearing this, Su Siyuan immediately clenched his fists. "If he dares to hurt Mo Mo, I'll fight him to the death!"
What a damn Yu Wang! He decided he hated him from today onwards!
Suddenly, Qian Xue entered from outside, grabbed Su Siyuan, and turned to leave.
Su Siyuan, who had been practicing martial arts for so long, was still being carried away like a child by a woman. He felt even more embarrassed, struggling and shouting.
But his mouth was quickly covered.
After Su Siyuan's struggling sounds disappeared from the courtyard.
Ah Jiu entered from outside. "Your Highness, do you need subordinates to bring people to snatch Miss Su back?"
"No need. There will be plenty of opportunities later, and my purpose for inviting Su Siyuan here today has been achieved." Ye Jingkun looked at the storeroom full of weapons, his gaze darkening.
Often, estrangement begins inadvertently.
It was like a small hole in an egg; it seemed insignificant, but with a slight external force, the entire egg would become someone else's meal.
"What I care about more now is the hidden guards Ye Jingyu has arranged around Mo Mo. Find a way to remove them all." A cold light flashed in Ye Jingkun's eyes.
His future Wang Fei did not need the protection of other men.
Su Yun Mo was carried by Ye Jingyu onto the carriage.
As for Su Siyuan, he was tied up with ropes and thrown behind the carriage.
Qian Xue drove the carriage towards the General's Manor.
The carriage was warm and cozy.
Su Yun Mo even felt a bit too hot, so she reached out her small hand, pinched Ye Jingyu's chin, and desperately tried to push his head aside, attempting to escape his scorching gaze.
But her strength was far from enough for Ye Jingyu.
The man stared at her intently. "Don't tell me you went to Kun Wang Manor today to discuss breaking off the engagement."
Su Yun Mo had been quite grateful for his help in resolving the situation, but hearing his tone at this moment made her immediately unhappy.
She remembered him throwing her off the carriage yesterday, so she childishly crossed her arms and deliberately said, "Does it concern Your Highness Yu Wang whether I want to break off the engagement or not?"
"I've thought it through. Since Ye Jingkun is very capable now, I think marrying him would be good too, so I went today to tell him to prepare the wedding ceremony as soon as possible."
Ye Jingyu's brows furrowed fiercely. He let out a cold laugh and looked her up and down. "Marriage?"
With such a small frame?
Su Yun Mo's eyelids twitched. Knowing she was being looked down upon, she slapped him. "Scram!"
She struggled to jump out of the man's embrace and off the carriage. "What if I want to get married? I'm not marrying you, so why are you worried?"
"Could it be that Your Highness Yu Wang likes me and plans to marry me as well?"
"What if this King says yes?" the man's suppressed voice came.
Su Yun Mo's body stiffened. She blinked and looked back at him. "Huh?"
Was she hearing things?
Ye Jingyu pulled her back into his arms and said word by word, "If this King says he wants to marry you, are you willing?"
There was a saying that Ye Jingkun was right, some things couldn't wait.
He always felt pity for her, afraid of scaring her, and thought he would tell her his feelings when she grew up.
But others wouldn't think that way, and they wouldn't have the patience to wait!
Since someone had already taken the lead, he couldn't just sit idly by.
Su Yun Mo, looking into his ardent gaze, couldn't help but swallow. Then, she slowly reached out her small hand and placed it on his forehead, frowning in confusion. "You're not running a fever, are you?"
Why was he talking nonsense?
Ye Jingyu's eyelids twitched. He suddenly wanted to throw the person in his arms out.
Seeing his gloomy face and slight anger, Su Yun Mo immediately chuckled sheepishly, sat up straight, and asked, "Do you really want to marry me? Do you like me?"
As Su Yun Mo looked at him with such clear eyes, Ye Jingyu's heart skipped a beat for some reason.
He pursed his lips, shifting his gaze slightly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Does it matter? You don't think it matters who you marry, do you?"
Su Yun Mo clicked her tongue. "That's true."
Ye Jingyu immediately jumped up, enraged.
This damned girl really thought that way. She was gambling with her entire life!
The man was displeased with her answer.
But Su Yun Mo's next words made Ye Jingyu pause.
"Actually, if you're willing to marry me, I think it's quite good. Compared to your other brothers, I think you're much more reliable." The little dumpling's voice carried a hint of seriousness.
What's more, she had spent more time with Ye Jingyu. If she was destined to marry into royalty, she should find someone she knew well.
Ye Jingyu rarely heard her praise him like this. The gloom in his heart had eased considerably over the past two days. "Do you really think so?"
The little dumpling nodded, not stingy with her praise. "Among these princes, I trust you the most."
Although this statement had a bit of flattery in it, it still made Ye Jingyu's lips curl up. "Then what will you do if I ultimately can't help you successfully break off the engagement?"
This question was similar to the last one about being thrown off the carriage.
Su Yun Mo froze for a moment. This time, she clearly saw the eagerness in Ye Jingyu's eyes as he waited for her answer.
Could it be that this person was jealous last time?
