She overestimated Huangfu Ruixiangs feelings for her. Huangfu Ruiling didnt harbor any sympathy. Huangfu Ruixiang is very clear-headed. He wont make any choices that dont serve his best interests. This time, Li Yirans troubles are self-inflicted.

Ye Lengan nodded and remarked, To be honest, she was too hasty. She might be stunning, but its not so easy to win Huangfu Ruixiangs heart based solely on her looks. Thats why, after the incident, Huangfu Ruixiang wasnt inclined to grant her a formal status.

Its her own choice, he continued. After tonight, her days of prosperity are likely over. My mother will undoubtedly make her life difficult.

Li Yiran cant endure much more turmoil. Ye Lengan shrugged, adding, After the poisoning incident, her vitality was severely compromised. She didnt recover properly afterward, and at this rate, her life might be near its end.

She has no will to live, so no one can change that. His tone remained aloof.

Whether she continues to exist or not, its her fate and doesnt concern us.

Indeed. She nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, It appears youve won this bet. Li Yiran truly cant marry into the Huangfu family.

It might have been possible, but Li Yirans impatience ruined it all in an instant. Now, not only can she not marry, but it will be even more improbable in the future.

He observed her and raised an eyebrow but didnt continue the conversation.

So, what would you like me to do? She looked at him and emphasized, Ruiling, lets be clear about this. Your request mustnt be overly demanding!

Otherwise, I reserve the right to refuse.

Hearing her resolute words, he chuckled. Anan, are you openly trying to weasel out of it?

How could I be that kind of person? she vehemently denied. Im just stating a precondition. And, in my opinion, the terms Ive presented are quite reasonable! Or are you seriously planning to request something I cant do?

Rest a.s.sured, he said as he reached out and embraced her. Even if my demands prove challenging for others, I wont make them difficult for you. Im confident you can meet my requirements.

So, what is this request? she immediately inquired. Tell me!

She was not accustomed to owing anyone anything, even though he was her boyfriend. However, since theyd entered into a bet, she was more than willing to accept defeat. Still, she hoped to resolve the matter swiftly and not have it hanging over her head.

l cant tell you now, he declared. Lets wait a few days, and then Ill disclose my request.

A few more days! She frowned and cast a skeptical glance at him. Youre not hatching some devious plan, are you?

What kind of devious plan could I possibly have? He was candid. Im just delaying it for a few days. Or are you considering reneging on our agreement once Ive delayed it?

Im not that sort of person. She rolled her eyes and retorted, A few days delay is fine. However, 1 must clarify upfront that you cant impose any burdensome demands! You mentioned that. Dont contradict yourself!

Absolutely not, he a.s.serted.

The banquet proceeded smoothly, barring a couple of minor hiccups earlier in the evening. After tonight, it was clear that the matter of the Huangfu familys patriarch had been sealed. Despite any reservations that Huangfu Jingzhang may have, the situation couldnt be altered.

The next morning, Ye Lengan had intended to attend her cla.s.ses at school. However, just before leaving, she received a phone call.

h.e.l.lo, who is that? Ye Lengan found the callers number unfamiliar.

Miss Ye, please save my father! The voice on the other end of the line carried a note of urgency. He suddenly fell unconscious, and none of the doctors dared to proceed with surgery. Youre his only hope now..
