Chapter 748: A Subtle Change
Huangfu Ruixiang, hearing Zhong Yating’s words, displayed a hint of reluctance on his face. However, in the end, he didn’t utter a word, seemingly acknowledging Zhong Yating’s statement.
Ye Leng’an’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. The reaction of Huangfu Ruixiang was indeed quite subtle!
It was evident that Huangfu Ruixiang wasn’t keen on marrying Zhong Yating. Yet, with Zhong Yating suddenly raising this matter, he didn’t voice any objection. Clearly, this was a consensus they had already reached. Zhong Yating’s methods were indeed quite clever!
“That’s truly a joyous occasion!” Completely oblivious to any underlying dynamics, she joyously exclaimed, “It seems we’ll soon be toasting at your wedding.”
“We plan to marry soon,” Zhong Yating continued with a shy smile. She leaned on Huangfu Ruixiang and added, “We’ll need your help, Brother and Sister-in-law.”
After speaking, she looked up at Huangfu Ruixiang, smiling as she said, “Ruixiang, don’t you think so?”
Suppressing his internal impatience, Huangfu Ruixiang forced a smile. “Yes.”
Then, he continued, “Alright, let’s not dwell on these matters. Today is the engagement ceremony of my brother and sister-in-law; we shouldn’t overshadow their celebration.”
“True.” Zhong Yating brightly smiled. “Let’s not talk about it today. Anyway, we plan to stay in the mortal world for a while, so we’ll have plenty of time to chat!”
“You’re planning to stay?” Ye Leng’an expressed surprise. “Don’t you need to return for cultivation?”
She had assumed Huangfu Ruixiang’s return was merely for their engagement ceremony, but it seemed there was more to it. The situation was getting interesting. What had Zhong Yating done to gain such unquestioning compliance from Huangfu Ruixiang?
“Yes.” Zhong Yating nodded confidently. “This time, we’ve returned to the mortal world to deal with a major life event. Of course, we’ve also come to attend your engagement ceremony. Both are significant events.”
“Alright, let’s not discuss this further.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s eyes hinted at displeasure, but his face remained pleasant. “Today is your special day. We can talk about our matters later!”
Zhong Yating obediently nodded, refraining from further comments.
Soon, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an departed, leaving Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating behind.
As they weren’t fond of crowds, they quickly found a secluded corner to chat.
After scanning the surroundings, Ye Leng’an’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Ling, don’t you think we’re being a bit picky? This seat should be the best in the entire venue! With just a glance, you can see the entire banquet hall.”
Observing Ye Leng’an’s enthusiastic expression, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s there to see?”
“Just taking a look!” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “But if I must say what’s worth seeing, it seems the relationship between your younger brother, Huangfu Ruixiang, and Zhong Yating has become a bit delicate!”
Speaking, she turned her gaze towards Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating.
Zhong Yating seemed unaware of the conversation, her face adorned with a constant smile. Huangfu Ruixiang, listening to Zhong Yating, displayed impatience on his face and in his eyes. Still, he refrained from interrupting Zhong Yating, seemingly enduring it
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s description, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “That’s their affair. It doesn’t concern us.”
“I’m just a bit curious.” Ye Leng’an playfully stuck out her tongue. “I’m really curious about what happened during this time to make Huangfu Ruixiang change so much. Now it seems the two of them are on the verge of marriage.”
“If you really want to know, I’ll have someone investigate.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an, his tone tinged with a hint of jealousy. “You should focus on me now, not random people.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s slightly jealous words, Ye Leng’an grinned. “Ling, why are you so cute!”
As she spoke, she couldn’t resist reaching out and pinching Huangfu Ruiling’s face, treating him as if he were a child.
Huangfu Ruiling made no resistance, allowing Ye Leng’an to playfully touch his face.
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s cheek turn red from the pinch, Ye Leng’an felt a bit guilty. She quickly withdrew her hand and chuckled awkwardly.
Huangfu Ruiling, however, didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he enjoyed Ye Leng’an’s close actions.
To cover her own embarrassment, Ye Leng’an quickly said, “Then send someone to investigate! Anyway, I’m quite curious.”
“Okay!” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an’s rolling eyes with slowly growing affection.
Ye Leng’an coughed lightly, seeming to recall something. Suddenly, she asked, “Zhong Yating and Huangfu Ruixiang are getting married soon. What about Li Yiran and that child?”
Speaking of Li Yiran, she hadn’t attended the banquet today. However, in the past, when Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t have a fiancée, bringing Li Yiran along wasn’t a big deal. Now that Zhong Yating was officially his fiancée, it was only fitting for her to attend.
“If Zhong Yating can truly make Huangfu Ruixiang willingly marry her, her status will be quite high. In the future, Li Yiran might not even have a place beside Huangfu Ruixiang.”
“What happened before will happen again,” Huangfu Ruiling replied calmly. “The Huangfu family won’t mistreat them. Moreover, that’s Huangfu Ruixiang’s child. My parents won’t turn a blind eye.”
Currently, Li Yiran had moved out of the Huangfu family’s ancestral home and returned to her previous apartment. With the child born, even if Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were ruthless, they wouldn’t harm the baby. Moreover, it was their grandson.
