Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Duan Tianrao paused for a moment then continued, “I never thought that my father would name me as the successor of the Duan family clan, and as the next family master, I had to prioritize the family clan’s glory even if it meant doing something that would hurt the person I love…”

Then, Duan Tianrao stopped his tracks and held Ye Qingtang’s arms suddenly.

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly as she looked at Duan Tianrao, who was looking affectionately towards her.

“Tang Tang, are you willing to forgive me?”

“Forgive you? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Ye Qingtang did not even listen to anything Duan Tianrao was talking about just now and found it funny to see Duan Tianrao’s expression.

“Tang Tang, you’re indeed still blaming me. I admit that I was wrong to cancel our engagement because you broke your spirit root, but you’re in my heart. I just had no choice… I had to consider for the Duan family. But, it is different now that you regrew a spirit root. Although it’s just a red spirit root, I don’t mind it. Can we start over again?” Affection was written all over Duan Tianrao’s handsome face.

However, in Ye Qingtang’s ears, those words sounded like a big fat joke.

Ye Qingtang pushed Duan Tianrao’s hand away directly and calmly tidied her sleeves which were wrinkled from his grasp. “Watch your actions, Second Young Master Duan. You already have an engagement with Ye Xun, don’t think about anything else.”

Upon hearing that, Duan Tianrao could not help but be happy. Ye Qingtang was indeed jealous about him and Ye Xun, and this meant that she still cared about him in her heart.

At that instant, Duan Tianrao anxiously swore by the god, “Tang Tang, as long as you say it, I will immediately cancel my engagement with Ye Xun. I was originally yours. There’s really nothing between me and Ye Xun.”

Ye Qingtang could not help but roll her eyes at Duan Tianrao. Perhaps, only he could say such shameless words.

Nothing between him and Ye Xun?

If they sealed an engagement when there was nothing between them, then would not there be kids crawling all over the floor if there were anything?

However, Ye Qingtang did not even want to bother with Duan Tianrao’s pretentious affection and was simply too lazy to reply to him.

Just when Duan Tianrao wanted to try harder in persuading Ye Qingtang to start afresh with him, four figures suddenly flipped over the walls of the Ye residence’s courtyard and entered the place.

Ye Qingtang’s eyes glistened as a hint of laughter flashed in her eyes.

Finally here.

The four black shadows landed and had an understanding look in their eyes when they saw Ye Qingtang but were slightly surprised when they saw Duan Tianrao beside Ye Qingtang.

Secretly casting them a look, Ye Qingtang went forward immediately and said coldly, “Who are you? How dare you barge into my Ye residence without permission!”

The four men in black regained their senses and instantly took out the sharp swords on their waists after exchanging a look.

“You’re Ye Qingtang?”

“Yes,” Ye Qingtang said.

“Very good, someone paid us to take your life. Don’t blame us for being heartless. Today is the day you die,” one of the men sneered. Suddenly, the four men charged forward with their swords and attacked Ye Qingtang.

“Tang Tang, be careful!” A thought emerged as he saw the four men charging towards Ye Qingtang. He was still troubled over how to change Ye Qingtang’s mind about their relationship, and now that these four people threw themselves here, it happened to be an opportunity for him to save the damsel in distress.

Then, Duan Tianrao took out the sword from his waist and blocked in front of Ye Qingtang, entering a fight with the four men in black.
