Upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiangs words, Zhongyu Liuying heaved a sigh of relief. Simultaneously, she privately celebrated the fact that her youngest son was not a naive romantic, and he had chosen the most practical course of action.

If Li Yiran were merely one of Ruixiangs lovers, she wouldnt care in the least. After all, being a lover meant uncertain favor, and there was no telling how long it would last. If Ruixiang ever grew disinterested, he could simply offer her a sum of money to part ways.

As for Ye Lengan, standing to the side, she truly believed that Huangfu Ruixiang was indeed a scoundrel, fully confirming her suspicions.

However, when it came to Li Yiran, she didnt feel particularly sympathetic. It was clear that Li Yiran had orchestrated all the events today. Yet, she had miscalculated one crucial aspect. Huangfu Ruixiangs feelings for her were not deep enough to commit to a marriage. Therefore, it all ended up in vain.

With a nod, Huangfu Ruiling turned his attention to Li Yiran and asked, You are also one of the parties involved. What are your thoughts?

Li Yiran clenched her teeth, then finally turned to Huangfu Ruixiang, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. She said, Ruixiang, I love you, so I dont care about t.i.tles. As long as I can remain by your side, Im content.

With things having progressed to this point, she had no other choice. If she decided to leave now, the chances of her returning in the future would be slim. Hence, even if she had to remain a lover, she was determined to stay.

Furthermore, although she wasnt Huangfu Ruixiangs wife at present, he had no wife either, did he? Given the circ.u.mstances, she still had an opportunity. She hadnt lost yet and wasnt ready to concede at this moment.

Upon hearing Li Yirans words, Huangfu Ruixiang was touched. He held Li Yirans hand and a.s.sured her, Yiran, rest a.s.sured. While I cant give you a formal t.i.tle, I will provide you with everything that my wife should have. Li Yiran nodded, deeply moved.

Since Huangfu Ruixiang had made his decision, and it was the best one,

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying didnt say anything more. However

Li Yiran, I will inform everyone tomorrow that you no longer deserve the surname Zhongyu, Zhongyu Liuying declared when she looked at Li Yiran, her eyes filled with disdain. Our Zhongyu family will not tolerate a shameless girl like you.

Li Yiran opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

She understood full well that losing the surname Zhongyu meant losing a lot. But with her current circ.u.mstances, she was powerless to alter this reality. At this point, all she could do was hold onto Huangfu Ruixiang.

In the Huangfu family, he was the only lifeline she had left to secure her livelihood.

And thus, this spectacle came to a close. Both parties had come to an agreement, so there was nothing more for outsiders to say.

Huangfu Ruiling arranged for someone to escort Li Yiran back first. As for Huangfu Ruixiang, he didnt leave. As the second young master of the Huangfu family, he wouldnt casually depart from such an event.

To be frank, Li Yirans position in his heart hadnt reached a level where he would abandon his responsibilities and go look after her.

Li Yiran felt her heart turn cold, struggling to accept her relatively insignificant place in Huangfu Ruixiangs heart. However, given the current circ.u.mstances, she had no choice but to accept it.

Upon returning to the banquet venue and sitting down, Ye Lengan couldnt help but express her discontent.

Ruiling, your little brother is really a bad guy! Ye Lengan shook her head. In the circ.u.mstances just now, any responsible man would have definitely promised to marry the other person. However, Huangfu Ruixiang was very straightforward, stating his unwillingness to marry.

Huangfu Ruiling calmly said, Li Yirans social status doesnt warrant such a sacrifice. Huangfu Ruixiang is a pragmatic person who knows precisely what he wants and wont permit significant deviations from his life plan.

However, speaking candidly, Li Yiran had brought this upon herself! Ye Lengan pursed her lips and continued, I dare say that everything that happened tonight was undoubtedly orchestrated by her. She correctly antic.i.p.ated the beginning but was utterly clueless about how it would conclude..
