Chapter 400: Her Agreement
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was clear from the tone that he was joking.
How could that be! Ye Li quickly smiled and replied, Its Xiyuans good fortune that you like her. As parents, seeing her having one more person to love her is something were naturally happy about.
Lin Wanqin smiled but didnt say anything. However, when she looked at Ye Xiyuan, there was a hint of worry in her eyes. Because she didnt know if Ye Xiyuan had really agreed willingly or if she had no other choice.
Thats wonderful. Murong Yanshu made a prompt decision and said, Since youve agreed, Ill arrange a time as soon as possible to hold a ball so that everyone will know Xiyuan has become my G.o.ddaughter.
She used 1 instead of we, indicating that this decision was her personal action rather than that of the Nangong family.
Besides wanting to thank Ye Xiyuan for saving her life, there was another important reason she wanted to host a banquet, to completely cut off any possibility between Ye Xiyuan and Xuyao.
The hidden meaning in Murong Yanshus words was clearly not discerned by anyone present.
Ye Li was still very happy at this moment. Although his daughter couldnt become the young madam of the Nangong family, becoming the Nangong familys young lady was still something worth celebrating.
With this development, the Ye family had indeed established a connection with the Nangong family. While it might not bring as many benefits as marrying into the Nangong family directly, it was a compromise they had to make. After all, the Young Master Nangong had agreed to it, indicating that he didnt have romantic feelings for Xiyuan.
Since that was the case, the current situation was the best outcome.
Soon, a few of them began to enthusiastically discuss plans for the banquet. Only Lin Wanqin appeared to be out of the loop, and even her smile seemed somewhat forced.
Ye Li gave her several meaningful looks, but she didnt notice.
After Murong Yanshu left, Ye Li looked at Lin Wanqin and said unhappily, What was going on with you just now? You were acting so out of sorts in front of Mrs. Nangong. If we didnt know better, someone might think you were quite dissatisfied! Do you want to offend the Nangong family?
l was just a little surprised, thats all. Lin Wanqin no longer had any smile on her face. When she looked at Ye Xiyuan, her face was filled with worry.
Xiyuan, do you really want to become Mrs. Nangongs G.o.ddaughter and
Young Master Nangongs younger sister? You have to know that if you do this,
there really wont be any possibility left between you two.
Its already this time, and youre still saying these things?
Before Ye Xiyuan could reply, Ye Li berated her, Do you want us to go back on our word now? Isnt that just toying with them?
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xiyuan worriedly, afraid she would show any trace of hesitation.
Although he also felt regretful, since it had come to this point, there was no way they could backtrack. Otherwise, it would lead to a severe confrontation with the Nangong family, and the Ye family couldnt afford to be at odds with them.
Facing Lin Wanqins concern, Ye Xiyuan felt warmth in her heart. She smiled and shook her head. Mom, dont worry about me. Since Ive made my decision, I absolutely wont go back on my word. Moreover, isnt it good to be the Nangong familys young lady? With my ident.i.ty as the Nangong familys young lady, I can definitely find someone even better.
As she spoke, her eyes revealed a hint of ambition.
Xiyuan, its good that you can think it through. Ye Li was finally relieved. Even without Young Master Nangong, there are still many unmarried men in the other four great families. In the future, with your ident.i.ty as the Nangong familys young lady, you can freely attend banquets and get to know these people. At that time, there will definitely be better choices.
Thinking of this, his originally disappointed mood improved.
He had great confidence in his daughter. As long as she was willing, she could definitely find someone even better. Of course, it would be even better if she could secure a connection with the Huangfu family. Especially their young master, despite his physical disability, was still an excellent choice. It was worth noting that among the four major families, the Huangfu family held the most significant power.
As for Ye Lengan, he didnt care about her at all. He felt that if Ye Lengan could accomplish something, his daughter would definitely be able to do the same.
Of course, he wouldnt mention these things to Ye Xiyuan for the time being. After all, it would be better for him to wait until everything was settled before bringing it up.
By the way, Dad, theres something I want to ask of you. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Li and said, Although its a bit difficult, I still hope you can agree.
Just say it. As long as its something I can do, I definitely wont reject it. Ye Li smiled happily.
Dad, its about my brothers girlfriend
Before Ye Xiyuan could finish, Ye Li interrupted her. What girlfriend? I will never acknowledge her.
When he spoke, his tone was a little aggressive. However, his anger wasnt directed at Ye Xiyuan, but at Li Qiaomeng.
Dad, please let me finish first, okay? Ye Xiyuan sat down next to Ye Li and held his arm. She said, Im not trying to help Li Qiaomeng. Im trying to help my brother.
After hearing Ye Xiyuans words, Ye Li couldnt help but frown.
Lin Wanqin, who was beside her, didnt look very happy either. Xiyuan, your brother has nothing to do with Li Qiaomeng. Such a woman, full of vanity and lies, is not worthy of your brother.
Although she had never met her before, Lin Wanqin did not have a good impression of this woman named Li Qiaomeng at all. In fact, she didnt even want to hear her name.
Dad, Mom, I know you dont like this Li Qiaomeng, Ye Xiyuan continued.
Actually, I dont think Brother has such a deep obsession with Li Qiaomeng. However, if Li Qiaomeng stays detained at the public security bureau, or even gets sentenced in the future, then Brother will never be able to forget her! So, I think instead of letting my brother keep thinking about her, its better to rescue Li Qiaomeng now, and then my brother might not be so persistent..
