YM778.TV Chapter 942: The Matter is Resolved
“That’s an overanalysis on your part.” Huangfu Ruiling met Ye Leng’an’s gaze directly, showing no sign of evasion. “The decision to marry or not is a matter for Huangfu Shaohua’s family to decide, and it has no bearing on anyone else.”
A hint of amusement flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes before she continued, “You’re right. Since we’re already engaged, it implies an intention to marry. Choosing to marry now is simply following the natural course of events.”
She was almost certain that Huangfu Ruiling had orchestrated something. Otherwise, why would Huangfu Shaohua choose to marry at this particular time?
Nevertheless, Zhou Cui’an must be deeply affected by this! Not only did she lose the lawsuit, but now her so-called boyfriend was also getting married. However…
“Ling, now that Huangfu Shaohua has decided to marry, does that mean he will settle down?” Ye Leng’an suddenly asked. “Otherwise, wouldn’t that be fair to Miss Xiao?”
“Don’t worry about others.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “This is a marriage alliance, and everyone knows what it entails. However, both Huangfu Shaohua and Xiao Ruowen will definitely behave themselves in the near future. After all, they can’t afford to disgrace their families, can they?”
Upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s response, Ye Leng’an didn’t press further. Her previous inquiry was merely casual, and she wasn’t overly concerned about others’ affairs.
“Alright, let’s drop the subject of others,” Huangfu Ruiling said, turning to the person in his arms. He raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile. “An’an, instead of concerning yourself with others, wouldn’t it be better to focus on us?”
“Huh?” Ye Leng’an was taken aback by Huangfu Ruiling’s sudden remark. “What could there be between us?”
She couldn’t imagine anything significant happening between them. Despite their busy schedules, they always made time for each other. Moments like this, where they enjoyed each other’s company, were cherished.
Furthermore, they rarely quarreled. In times of disagreement, Huangfu Ruiling always deferred to her, making arguments unlikely.
So, Huangfu Ruiling’s unexpected question left her momentarily puzzled.
Observing her confusion, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled before continuing, “I’m referring to our marriage, An’an. Do you think we could tie the knot sooner?”
They had discussed this matter long ago. Huangfu Ruiling was eager to marry, but Ye Leng’an preferred to wait until after graduation. Though not young mentally, she had only recently come of age. Therefore, she was in no rush to wed.
The outcome was predictable. Huangfu Ruiling would never go against Ye Leng’an’s wishes, agreeing to marry her after graduation.
However, news of Huangfu Shaohua’s impending marriage stirred something in him. Despite orchestrating it, he now desired to marry Ye Leng’an sooner.
Rising to sit beside Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an smiled. “I think we should stick to our original plan for marriage. Besides, I’m enjoying our current days! But…”
A mischievous glint sparkled in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she continued, “Ling, if you treat me better, I might be swayed to marry you sooner!”
Seeing her playful expression, Huangfu Ruiling knew her words held little sincerity. Nonetheless, he gazed at her lovingly, promising, “Alright, I’ll treat you better. So well that you’ll never want to leave me, and we’ll spend our lives together.”
“Because there’s no one else who’d treat you as well as I do.” He kept the last sentence to himself, silently reciting it.
Having decided on her, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t allow her to leave. He’d use his love as leverage to ensure she stayed with him forever.
“That’s the spirit.” Ye Leng’an nodded earnestly, patting his shoulder affectionately. “You’re indeed a quick learner!”
Observing her playful demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling remained silent, enveloping her in his embrace. It felt as though he was holding a precious treasure.
After the trial, Zhou Cui’an left the courthouse in a daze, returning to her hotel by taxi.
Entering her hotel room, she collapsed onto the floor, her expression contorted with anguish. “Ye Leng’an, you wretched woman. I won’t let you off the hook.”
Although she anticipated the verdict, receiving the court’s ruling intensified her hatred towards Ye Leng’an.
Her animosity was directed solely at Ye Leng’an.
Despite offering sincere apologies and even kneeling to admit her wrongdoing, Ye Leng’an remained obstinate, insisting on legal action.
Now, she not only had to issue a public apology but also compensate Ye Leng’an with a hundred thousand for emotional distress. It was unbearable for her to accept.
Despite her newfound financial stability as Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend, she resented giving Ye Leng’an any money.
Now that the court had ruled against her, she feared the school’s punitive measures. Losing the lawsuit would likely result in harsh consequences from the school.
She was at a loss for what to do. Especially since Huangfu Shaohua, who could have aided her, was unreachable.
Lost in thought, Zhou Cui’an’s phone suddenly rang in the silent room. Picking up her phone and seeing the flashing name on the screen, a glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes.
