Ye Ningwan and Xie Mingyu were at an impasse, neither willing to give in and step back.
"Stop arguing, Miss Ye, thank you for helping me. But you are right, I should give myself a chance. Young master, please don't argue with Miss Ye anymore, I'll go back with you." Shangxue stepped forward, first thanking Ye Ningwan, then lowered her voice and softened toward Xie Mingyu.
Ye Ningwan looked at her in surprise, "Shangxue."
"Miss Ye, this is my decision." Shangxue smiled slightly.
"I can protect you," Ye Ningwan said once more.
But Shangxue said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ye, but it's not necessary."
Xie Mingyu finally couldn't hold back his anger, "What do you take me for? A brutal, heartless beast?"
"It better not be. Since Shangxue is willing to go back with you, I'll hand her over to you. But if anything happens to her, Xie Mingyu, I saved your life, and I can take it back just as easily." Ye Ningwan threatened coldly.
