As Zhongyu Liuying spoke, her gaze turned disdainful when she looked at Ye Lengan. She hadnt forgotten the humiliation she endured the last time she had gone to find Ye Lengan. If Ye Lengan was so ungrateful, she had no right to stay by Ruilings side.

Previously, the Ye family had discussed the idea of a marriage alliance, but Huangfu Ruiling later declined. To Zhongyu Liuyings surprise, the young lady of the Ye family had come in person. So she promptly brought Ye Wanwan to the door.

In her view, only someone like Ye Wanwan was worthy of Huangfu Ruiling.

Whats more, the most crucial factor was that if Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Wanwan got together, there was a high likelihood that Huangfu Ruiling would spend most of his time in the Hidden World.

Then, the position of the family head would naturally return to Huangfu Jingzhang. At that point, she would still be the matriarch of the Huangfu family.

Ye Wanwan took a step forward, her face adorned with a courteous and polite smile. Ruiling, long time no see. I remember the last time we met was at the meeting of the major families a few years ago. Since I had some business over here today, why dont we have a meal together?

It was as if Ye Lengan didnt exist.

In her eyes, Ye Lengan was indeed no threat to her. She was the daughter of the Ye family in the Hidden World, with exceptional alchemy skills and high regard within the family. She naturally didnt consider a mortal girl like Ye Lengan a threat.

Ye Lengan, however, remained unruffled. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Huangfu Ruiling, her gaze exuding interest. It was as if she were saying, Youre quite fortunate with the ladies!

Of course, she was only jesting. Even though something like this had happened, she didnt feel angry. She understood that, in the end, this matter had little to do with Huangfu Ruiling.

However, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable deep down whenever she faced Ye Wanwan. It was as if they were fated to be enemies.

Was it because Ye Wanwan had taken an interest in Huangfu Ruiling that she felt this way? However, she hadnt experienced these feelings when facing Zhongyu Yiran earlier!

Huangfu Ruiling completely ignored Ye Wanwans words. He didnt even glance at her but instead fixed his gaze on Zhongyu Liuying, speaking coldly, l recall saying before that my affairs are not up for your discretion. Or do you think this lesson hasnt been enough for you?

Huangfu Ruilings words caused Zhongyu Liuying to alternate between pale and flushed. She hadnt expected Huangfu Ruiling to be so dismissive, speaking this way to her in front of Ye Wanwan and Ye Lengan.

She wanted to say something and a.s.sert her maternal authority, but facing Huangfu Ruiling, she felt a bit timorous. Her expression turned awkward. Ruiling, dont blame Mrs. Huangfu. Ye Wanwan didnt appear to be angered by Huangfu Ruilings neglect. Instead, she stood up once more and smiled, saying, 1 dont mean anything else. Its just friends having a meal together. 1 dont think this lady is so petty that shed get upset over something so trivial.

As she ended her words, Ye Wanwans gaze briefly landed on Ye Lengan. Although it was a quick look, a hint of disdain and hostility flickered in her eyes when she looked at Ye Lengan.

Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling was far from pleased. He wanted to say something, but Ye Lengan halted him with a look.

Then youve misunderstood. Ye Lengan remained undaunted. She locked eyes with Ye Wanwan and spoke with a smile, Actually, Im a pretty possessive woman, so I dont like my boyfriend dining with other girls. Miss, youre not so small-minded to get angry over such a trifling matter, are you?

Obviously, Ye Wanwan hadnt antic.i.p.ated Ye Lengan to respond so directly, bluntly displaying her possessive nature.

She was somewhat taken aback but proceeded, Miss, you should understand that if youre too overbearing, choking your man, your relations.h.i.+p is likely to come to an end. You dont mean to say that your man cant have any female friends in the future, do you?

Following the news that the Huangfu family had rejected the marriage proposal, she had thoroughly investigated Huangfu Ruiling. Therefore, she was well aware of the so-called girlfriend in Huangfu Ruilings life.

Nonetheless, even though she was aware of Ye Lengans existence, she had never regarded her with any importance. From her perspective, she doubted how long Huangfu Ruilings affection would last. No matter what, Ye Lengan couldnt measure up to her. She had great confidence that Huangfu Ruiling would ultimately choose her.

As a result, she was unsurprised to find Ye Lengan in Huangfu Ruilings office. In fact, when facing Ye Lengan, she always a.s.sumed a haughty demeanor.

However, there was something she found displeasing about Ye Lengan the moment she laid eyes on her. And it wasnt an ordinary aversion but a profound rejection from her very soul.

Its not that exaggerated, Ye Lengan responded with a smile, l dont mind my boyfriend having friends of the opposite s.e.x. Im only concerned about the presence of those with ulterior motives, posing as friends but intending to encroach upon my territory.

Upon saying this, Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling and adopted a coquettish tone, Darling, do you think youd be upset if I acted this way?

Of course not. Huangfu Ruiling readily cooperated. Seeing Ye Lengans display of coquettishness, he also found it novel. As long as you say the word, I can rid myself of any opposite-s.e.x friends.

Hearing Huangfu Ruilings reply, Ye Lengans mouth twitched. She felt that this was overly exaggerated. Moreover, she herself wasnt capable of such high-handedness.

However, at this moment, she couldnt possibly interfere.

So, she gazed at Huangfu Ruiling with an expression of grat.i.tude. Darling, I knew you were the best.

She then turned to Ye Wanwan, provocatively saying, See, even my darling agrees. Miss Ye Wanwan, you can leave now. The exit is right over there..

Goodbye!
