Third Young Master Ye looked at her deeply as he realized that this was the woman that he loved!
As he understood the decisiveness that she wanted to express, Third Young Master Ye’s heart ached. How wonderful was he to be totally loved by her! This touched him even more than bringing MBS to another peak.
He would rather be poor this whole life than lose Cheng Anya!
If he had pushed her away out of his desire to protect her, winning her back, given her character, would have been even more difficult than ascension. Beneath the foolish smile, there was a heart that was much colder than anybody else’s.
As she loved purely and cleanly, she did not allow him to escape with a shred of doubt.
Even if it was a consideration that was out of her safety!
“I received the news this morning that somebody has offered two billion GBP for my life.” Third Young Master Ye chose to tell the truth. Since this was what Cheng Anya wanted, he respected her and told her everything.
To leave or to stay was wholly her choice!
Cheng Anya’s eyes and mouth were agape as though she had heard something unbelievable. Third Young Master Ye’s gaze slightly darkened. Was she feeling afraid?
It went without thinking that such a high price certainly implied top-rate international killers who never missed their mark!
She would definitely be afraid!
Just as Third Young Master Ye’s thoughts ran wild and his gaze turned cold, Cheng Anya exclaimed, “Two billion GBP… Third Young Master Ye, your life is sure worth a lot of money!”
At the moment, her mind was occupied with all things glittering. She later realized that she should have been more concerned about Third Young Master Ye’s life. Miss Cheng was flustered at how she had gotten her priorities wrong.
That could not be helped as Third Young Master Ye was a tough nut in her eyes. Since she was not worried about people having placed a bounty on him, she was hence not worried about his safety.
“All you just think about is money?” Third Young Master Ye’s gaze burned. This damn woman! How could his life be less attractive to her than two billion? What kind of person was she?
He had a desperate urge to strangle her to death. Worrying about the safety of both the mother and son in the morning and struggling to decide whether to let them leave… He was such a fool to worry himself over!
And this woman treated it as though it was nothing!
“I’m sorry! Shall we repeat this again?” Cheng Anya smiled and downplayed it. Seeing Third Young Master Ye’s gaze become malicious and insidious, and how dark his face had become, she stopped provoking him out of her conscience. “Who would want such a price on your head? Louis?”
He was the prime suspect in her mind, but it did not seem right as Louis and Third Young Master Ye had a murky tension between each other. Even if Louis went as far as to put a price on his life, he wanted a living Third Young Master Ye instead of a dead Third Young Master Ye.
“I don’t know,” Third Young Master Ye replied calmly. He was upset with Cheng Anya’s careless attitude. Did she not realize the danger she was in?
Cheng Anya was thinking about something else, namely Third Young Master Ye’s temper. Given the number of enemies he made in the marketplace, there were definitely people who wanted his life. Few, however, could afford such a price.
As she eliminated the possibilities one by one, nobody else, save for Louis, could muscle the financial wealth and have the motive!
“According to your darling son, you have an organization that comprises the top assassins. Did your assassins accept the mission?” Cheng Anya asked Third Young Master Ye hopefully. Looking at his expressions, Miss Cheng realized that this was the best scenario he was hoping for.
Actually, if Third Young Master Ye’s men had accepted the mission, whoever ordered the hit would have been utterly angered as Third Young Master Ye got paid and was still alive. How comical!
“No, Ye Wei accepted the mission. Has our darling son mentioned this person?” Third Young Master Ye learned how she spoke and asked plainly. Nobody could tell what was going through his mind.
Cheng Anya looked lost and shook her head. Ye Wei… That was such a coincidence. “Female assassin? She must have the same ancestor as you!” she said teasingly.
“I say, can you at least have some damn sense of danger?” Third Young Master Ye could not bear it further and quietly roared. What kind of person was she? He finally understood why she could take down a massive python in no time. But what would cause her to really fear?
‘F***!’
“That… Shouldn’t it be you who should have a sense of danger?” Cheng Anya smiled as she rebutted with an innocent look. “She is after you, not me!”
To create a sense of danger in her seemed to be a little difficult. On hearing that a female assassin was on the move, and given how badass Third Young Master Ye was, how could she have a sense of danger?
Third Young Master Ye’s gaze was so cold to the point people could freeze. The entire restaurant was ice-cold, and he said through gritted teeth, “You sound so happy that you are eager for me to die, eh?”
Cheng Anya was stunned into silence.
This was a serious claim. If he died, who would she spend the rest of her life with!
“What kind of killer is Ye Wei?”
“She’s a top international assassin!” Third Young Master Ye replied coldly. He was hoping for Cheng Anya to wear a look of shock but got a mere acknowledgment from her instead. “For a woman to make it this far… So badass!” She said in a worshipping tone.
Third Young Master Ye gritted his teeth as Cheng Anya adjusted her expressions and laughed coldly. “You have been mulling over this problem all this while?”
Third Young Master Ye kept mum whereas Cheng Anya raised her brows. It seemed like he had quietly admitted.
“Have you reached a decision from all that mulling?”
Like how it played out on television, Third Young Master Ye kept silent and Cheng Anya smiled. When such situations came by, the male lead would force the female lead away from him without saying anything. In order to force the female lead away from him, he would say cruel things.
How one expresses their love differs based on their character.
She admired Third Young Master Ye’s honesty and candidness. Although he had considered forcing her away, she still chose to face it together with him, no?
“I am not mulling about it anymore!” Third Young Master Ye jabbed the foie gras with his knife.
As she slowly and elegantly tucked in, Cheng Anya looked at the empty plate in front of her and remained silent!
“Is anybody protecting you?”
Third Young Master Ye nodded. He was not afraid per se, but he was afraid of implicating the mother and son!
“Our family is one damn interesting family. Firstly, Ning Ning got a hit ordered on him, and then my turn. Now, it’s your turn…” Cheng Anya frowned. “How could there be such an order to assassination?”
Ever since she returned to City A from London, her life had been colorful and full of ups and downs.
Third Young Master Ye looked up at her as he suddenly put down his cutlery. “Miss Cheng, could you please show a more typical expression?” He shrugged.
Cheng Anya showed her signature smile!
Third Young Master Ye was totally defeated by her. He was not this damn girl’s opponent!
As the two walked out of the restaurant, they were estimating the time it would take to get to Greenray Golf Course when they received Klose’s call. “Anya, you have not reached Greenray, right?”
“What happened?”
“There is no need to go there already!”
Cheng Anya and Ye Chen looked at each other and felt something was amiss. “Why?”
Before Klose could answer, Ye Chen replied coldly, “There’s no need to ask anymore!”
Cheng Anya looked in his direction and her face sunk!
