Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“No, I wasn’t,” Huangfu Ruixiang subconsciously denied, “I’m just thinking about how to tell my parents. After all, this matter is too sudden. I’m afraid they won’t easily accept it.”
“It’s okay; I can give you time to talk to them,” Zhong Yating wasn’t anxious at all. “I’ll tell you once our marriage is decided.”
With that, Zhong Yating stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a kiss on Huangfu Ruixiangs face before turning around and leaving. Her footsteps were light, and she was humming a song, obviously in a good mood.
Huangfu Ruixiang, who was left behind, had his face darkened the moment Zhong Yating turned around. His entire demeanor turned gloomy. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the anger within. It seemed that if he didn’t do this, he would not resist stepping forward and directly confronting Zhong Yating.
He had never thought he would find himself in such a situation. Moreover, it was clear that Zhong Yating wouldn’t easily disclose the truth. However, he was extremely unwilling to marry her.
Perhaps he could wait until Huangfu Ruiling returned to the Hidden World, find an opportunity to go back, and then probe to see if he could learn something from Huangfu Ruiling. If he could directly gather information from Huangfu Ruiling, he wouldn’t be under Zhong Yatings threat.
Thinking this, he glanced at Zhong Yating, his eyes filled with gloom.
Huangfu Ruiling had no idea about what had happened between Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating. However, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
He didn’t have much affection for his so-called biological parents, let alone a younger brother only connected by blood and with whom he hadn’t spent much time!
In the next few days, Huangfu Ruiling accompanied Ye Lengan to explore the outside. However, in the end, they didn’t settle on any gifts. Thus, Ye Lengan decided to give the principal a bottle of self-made body-strengthening pills.
Soon, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan decided to leave the Hidden World and return to the mortal world. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, they were informed that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had come with Ye Wanwan.
Usually, such matters were handled by the Grand Elder. However, Huangfu Ruiling had yet to leave, and Ye Hongxuan had explicitly said he wanted to meet the family head. Consequently, the Grand Elder sent someone to inform Huangfu Ruiling about the situation. Of course, it was Huangfu Ruilings decision whether to meet them or not.
If Huangfu Ruiling chose not to meet them, the Grand Elder would handle the situation.
Huangfu Ruiling waved his hand, signaling he understood, and let the disciple who reported the news leave.
“Why are they here at this time?” Ye Lengan couldn’t help but frown. “During the Family Competition, the two families had quite an unpleasant exchange, Why would they come now?”
She thought that after this incident, even if the Huangfu family and the Ye family didn’t become enemies, their relationship wouldn’t improve.
“l don’t know.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “Let’s go and take a look. We’ll know what’s going on.”
Soon, the two arrived at the hall.
Before even entering, they saw Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu sitting there. Ye Wanwan did not sit but stood beside Ye Hongxuan. Judging from her pale face, Ye Wanwan’s body had not fully recovered.
Ye Lengan couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious seeing this.
Now, it would be best for Ye Wanwan to rest in bed. This way, her body could recover better. What important matter needed her to come at this time?
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan enter, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu quickly stood up and greeted them.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats again. However, Ye Wanwan still stood there, not sitting.
After sitting down, Ye Hongxuan did not beat around the bush. He cupped his hands towards Huangfu Ruiling and said directly, “Master Huangfu, our abrupt visit today is for nothing but the things that Wanwan did at the Family
Competition. We came here specially to apologize.”
If possible, Ye Wanwan didn’t want to mention this matter again. It was the shame of her life, and she wished everyone would forget it.
However, her father insisted she apologize, saying it was a show for the family elders and the Murong family. Helpless, she had to drag her weak body and follow him.
After her father spoke, she stepped forward, bowed, and said sincerely, “Master Huangfu, I’m very sorry. This time, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have used such despicable methods. Please forgive my momentary lapse.”
The way she lowered her head and eyes made it seem like she genuinely knew she was wrong.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan looked at each other and immediately understood Ye Hongxuan’s reason for coming. However, for a moment, neither of them spoke.
Because Huangfu Ruiling didn’t speak, Ye Wanwan maintained her posture. She felt humiliated but had no choice but to endure.
A moment later, Huangfu Ruiling spoke. However, he didn’t address Ye Wanwan; instead, he spoke to Ye Hongxuan. According to his status, he didn’t need to bother with Ye Wanwan.
“Master Ye, there’s no need for this. The matter has already been settled in the square.”
He didn’t say whether he would forgive her or not, only that the matter was over.
Ye Hongxuan naturally understood the meaning behind Huangfu Ruilings words. His expression wasn’t good. He didn’t expect his concessions today to be useless.
Although Huangfu Ruiling didn’t say he wouldn’t let go of the matter, he also didn’t intend to forgive Wanwan. The current situation wasn’t favorable for Wanwan.
Lian Mengzhu frowned and couldn’t help saying, “Master Huangfu, Wanwan is still young and inexperienced. Coupled with her eagerness to win, she made this foolish mistake.. I hope, considering the friendship between our families, you can forgive her this time!”
