"then why aren't you asking for anything?" He asked again.
"I don't_"
"miss you don't have to be courteous, you can just ask for anything" The second man urged, he knew his brother very well, Ye Haoran would definitely not let the Young lady go if she didn't ask for anything. That was how much he hated owing favours yo strangers.
"but i_" she could not even say anything as they kept cutting her off.
"didn't you just sign into spring season? this could be your opportunity to become famous" Ye jingyi tried to help the young lady, so she pointed out something that other girl would have asked for.
"yes you can ask for money, fame or even properties"
Yu xiao yan could feel headache building up as she listened to this family pick out the possible things eh could ask as a rewards, she was really starting to get Infuriated. She didn't even know if it was a good thing to have saved the girl.
She pinched the space between her eyes agitatedly "fine! you wasn't to know what I want?" she asked looking at the aloof faced man
"Yes" he replied with a matter of fact tone.
"and you promise to give it to me?" she asked again looking sternly this time.
"just say it" Ye Haoran replied hurriedly not minding what she could ask for, but his brother was having a bad feeling concerning Yu xiao yan's answer. He felt like she was going to ask for the unthinkable.
"I want your daughter!"
Ye jingyi: "what?!"
Ye Haoran: "..."
little kid: "... " me? but I'm not an item?
Ye weiyang: "...!!" now I know why I felt uneasy, she really did ask for the most impossible thing ever! This girl_ isn't she a little too brazen!
Ye weiyang and his sister turned to look at the expression on their brother's face, although he looked calm, they could both imagine the numbers of fireworks that had gone off in his head. His calmness could very well just be the calm before the storm.
Yu xiao yan had purposely asked for his daughter cause she knew there was no way he was going to give it to her.
who did they think they were? didn't he want her to ask for something? well she has asked, she wondered how he was going to react and she wasn't the only one, even the little girl that had been used as a bargaining chip, was curious to what her father's answer would be, she had a feelings his answer would shock all of them.
"miss can't you ask for something else?" Ye weiyang tried to signal Yu xiao yan to change her request, he was getting scared with his brother's quietness.
"no that is_"
"Sure"
Yu xiao yan had prepared a long mental note of how she really loved to keep the little girl but everything flew away when she heard the quiet man's answer.
"what did you say?" she asked not sure if she. was hearing correctly.
"I agree to give you my daughter" he repeated casually, totally shockingly the three people in the room, except from the child who looked like she had expected it.
Ye jingyi: "!!!" what did I just hear?!
Ye weiyang: "!!!" where am I? who is this man cause he's definitely not my brother!
Yu xiao yan: "..?!" this... this was absolutely not what I expected.
she had expected him to refuse, who knew that he would agree so easily! What kind of a father was he?! Did he even love his daughter at all?.
She looked at the girl and saw that she wasn't in the slightest bit surprised, did she expect he would give her away on a platter of a favour?
"I agree to give you my daughter but... but on one condition" The man said again not minding the look they were giving him. Ye Haoran too was surprised with how he had blurted out the answer that was in his mind.
he didn't know why but ever since he saw this girl, he had been craving to get close to her, do if giving her his daughter would keep her close to him then he would surely do do, besides he could tell that his daughter too like her a lot too.
"w_what condition?" Yu xiao yan felt like slapping herself when she asked this, it wasn't like she really wanted to collect his daughter do why was she wanting to know what his condition was.
"become my girlfriend" Ye Haoran replied making all of them even more stupified, funniest part was he didn't sound like he was offering her, it sounded like he was ordering her.
Housekeeper Cai walked in and whispered into Ye Haoran eat, then left after he got a reply, before he left he looked questioningly at the stupified faces of everyone in the room 'what could have happened for them to be so shocked?'
"hehe Ye Haoran long time no see?" A masculine voice spoke drawing everyone back to their senses, they all turned to see the person that had jusy walked in.
Yu xiao yan's eyes flung open when she saw the Silver haired man who had just walked in, he had a lazy demeanor as he took his seat. She shivered as she looked at the lady smile on his face.
"Ji zifeng what brings you to Phantom Hive" Ye Haoran asked when he saw how comfortable the man was smiling.
"tsk tsk Ye Haoran, can't I visit a friend?" The silver haired man said nonchalantly, and though he said they were friends, the air between the two didn't seem like that of friends at all.
Ye weiyang furrowed his brows, while Yu xiao yan prayed she could squeeze into the chair, she had hinted Shi Zeyi to ask for his cousins help but she didn't really think this tyrant would... would come here personally!
"and besides... I've come to collect something that belongs to me" He looked at Yu xiao yan as he spoke. Ye Haoran furrowed his brows, somehow this man's words didn't sit well with him, even the little girl showed a change in her expression for the first time.
Ji zifeng didn't mind the change in reactions, he said all he wanted to and bade farewell with Yu xiao yan obediently tailing behind him.
