Chapter 312: I Lay My Cards!

Lady Leng knit her brows and truly could not understand what Ye Qingran meant by those words.

"However, even if Lady Leng wants to protect Lin Xuewei, I'm afraid that won't work."

Lady Leng's expression darkened, "What do you mean? Do you intend to go against the Leng family?"

"So what if it is?"

Lady Leng's pupils contracted.

"Xing Er, Yue Er, since someone intends to refuse to settle, I now ask you to strip Lin Xuewei for me!"

Han Xing Leng Yue answered, leaping forward to seize Lin Xuewei.

Such a turn of events left everyone staring in disbelief. Ye Qingran was unexpectedly fierce; to force Lin Xuewei to keep her promise, she even denied the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao's Leng family's face!

Lady Leng gritted her teeth and shouted, "Where are the Dark Guard of the Leng family?" As Lady Leng, she could not be alone while out; in places unseen by others, Leng Feng had arranged dozens of Dark Guard for her!

As his words fell, in an instant 'swish swish swish' dozens of black silhouettes appeared, standing behind Lady Leng.

Each one's aura was powerful, sending a chilling thrill.

The crowd felt a secret dread. Even just these Dark Guard gave an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Ye Qingran, are you sure you want to confront Lady Leng?

At that moment, Hei Sha stepped forward, "Lady Leng, you probably don't know that Miss Ye is the person Crown Prince is protecting!"

What?

Lady Leng's pupils contracted.

Hei Sha said, Ye Qingran is the person the Crown Prince is protecting?

If so, doesn't that mean Ye Qingran need not fear her strength at all?

No wonder she's so confident! It turns out Crown Prince Luo is behind her!

Everyone couldn't help but start speculating what relationship Ye Qingran has with Crown Prince Luo.

Crown Prince Luo not only gave her gifts, but also said he would protect her...

Ye Qingran gave a speechless sideways glance at Hei Sha. Honestly, she didn't want to use Crown Prince Luo's name. After all, it must be repaid. This matter, she could handle herself.

However...

Just when everyone thought Hei Sha's appearance settled the issue, a leisurely voice drifted in.

"Go back and tell Xuan Yuan Luo, my woman doesn't need his protection!"

Deep, sexy, and full of dominance.

It was very sudden.

When Ye Qingran heard that voice, she was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of smile.

How could she not recognize whose voice it was?

While everyone was still immersed in that voice, a figure gracefully descended, light as a startled swan, agile as a swimming dragon.

The newcomer stood tall and lithe, shoulders broad, waist narrow, with extraordinarily long, powerful legs.

His looks were ordinary and unremarkable. Strangely, each facial feature was exquisitely refined on its own, yet together they lacked any stunning effect.

The man stood before Ye Qingran, bearing a dignified aura, noble and extraordinary.

It was none other than Wuhen.

"Who are you, daring to address my family's Crown Prince by name?" Hei Sha asked displefully.

Wuhen glared at Hei Sha, "Who am I?" Wuhen turned around, looking at Ye Qingran.

That day in Ting Yu Xuan, Ye Qingran asked him why he was nowhere to be found whenever she needed him. Though that wasn't the truth, now Ye Qingran has chosen Wuhen, so from now on he will appear by her side as Wuhen, becoming her strongest support.

Wuhen's thin lips lightly opened, word by word, "I am Ye Qingran's man!"

Ye Qingran spread a smile, her gaze half helpless, half shy, turning to the side; that already stunningly beautiful face, smile like a flower, was so beautiful it defied description.

Wuhen stared straight at her smile, feeling a special satisfaction fill his heart. He couldn't help but laugh.

Miss Ye's man?

That answer truly startled Hei Sha. He clearly remembered Miss Ye was single. How could she, after returning from Xiliang, already have a renowned lover?

Moreover...

Hei Sha's gaze, probing as it scanned Wuhen, couldn't help feeling disappointed. Aside from everything else, just this face meant the Crown Prince had lost a huge chunk to such an ordinary man! The Crown Prince losing to this plain man made him feel it was utterly unworthy.

"Uncle Wuhen!"

The two kids shouted in unison. Their familiar tone showed it wasn't their first time seeing Wuhen.

Everyone was left gaping. It was the first time they heard a man admit that Ye Qingran was his woman! Ye Qingran didn't deny it, instead smiling brightly. Could it all be true? This plain, unremarkable man truly Ye Qingran's man?

When Ye Qingran smiled, a pair of beautiful eyes resembled a waning crescent moon, sparkling brilliantly, beyond dazzling.

"Why did you come?" she asked, sounding both coquettish and scolding. That delicate demeanor made Wuhen's gaze deepen; ignoring the many onlookers, he stepped forward, stretched his long arm, and lifted Ye Qingran into his embrace.

"Naturally, I'm here... to be a hero rescuing a beauty." Wuhen's sword-like eyebrows lifted, his lips curving with a captivating smile.

A warm current flowed through Ye Qingran's heart.

So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on!

Seeing him alone, Ye Qingran teased, "You're on your own? Look over there, those people are fierce and terrifying; are you sure you can handle them?"

Wuhen was unfazed, "Don't trust your man?" He deliberately bent, leaning close to Ye Qingran's ear, his voice low and deep like a bass speaker, causing her heart to race.

"To tell you honestly, I'm actually a peerless master, I... lay my cards out!"
