Chapter 492: Design Compet.i.tion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Thats right! Because I saw Li Yiran downstairs just now, Ye Lengan didnt hide anything, smiling as she spoke. Li Yiran probably hasnt been here before, otherwise she wouldnt have been stopped by the front desk. Now that shes suddenly shown up at the company, she must be trying to get on Huangfu Ruixiangs good side. So whether or not Huangfu Ruixiang eventually falls for Li Yirans charms remains to be seen. I think admitting defeat at this point would be premature.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded in understanding and smiled slightly. Since you feel the bet is still ongoing, lets continue it then! However, I do have a bit of news to share.

What news? Ye Lengan narrowed her eyes at Huangfu Ruiling, a trace of suspicion in her tone. Clearly, she didnt antic.i.p.ate this would be good news.

My mother started making arrangements this morning to set up a blind date for Huangfu Ruixiang, Huangfu Ruiling disclosed directly without beating around the bush. So if you think Li Yiran still has a chance, well have to wait and see!

Huh? After hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan was actually rather surprised. Is there such an urgent need? That all went down just yesterday, and today shes already working on matchmaking?

This Zhongyu Liuying really was ruthless. If Li Yiran found out, shed probably be so angry she vomited blood!

Its precisely because of what transpired yesterday that Mother is in such a rush to arrange this blind date, Huangfu Ruiling explained lightly. Otherwise she likely would have waited until after the Family Compet.i.tion before taking action on this. After all, she still hopes Huangfu Ruixiang can s.h.i.+ne during the compet.i.tion, catching the eye of those Hidden World families and making him seem like worthwhile marriage material.

So shes changed plans now? Ye Lengan found it rather amusing.

Li Yiran probably couldnt have imagined in her wildest dreams that it was her own scheming against Huangfu Ruixiang that triggered Zhongyu Liuyings urgency to marry him off! This was essentially Li Yiran indirectly causing Zhongyu Liuyings decision.

In fact, if Li Yiran hadnt been so impatient and was willing to take things slowly, the outcome certainly would have been much better than now. Even if Huangfu Ruixiang remained unwilling to marry her in the end, at least her position in his heart would be far more significant. And her bargaining chips would be that much heavier then.

She didnt actually change plans, Huangfu Ruiling said, his lips twisting into a sardonic smile. Even if Huangfu Ruixiang takes interest in one of these matches, there wont be a rushed marriage yet. Shell at least wait until after the Family Compet.i.tion concludes, confirming none of those Hidden World ladies have taken fancy to Huangfu Ruixiang. Only then would she willingly let Huangfu Ruixiang marry one of those mortal elite family daughters. This also serves to distract Huangfu Ruixiang somewhat, so he doesnt have as much attention to devote to Li Yiran.

So its about finding a backup option! Ye Lengan curled her lip disdainfully. Whoever he takes interest in really is quite unlucky then not only a backup option but a tool to divert affection from Li Yiran.

Even so, it would end up being a mutually consensual matter, Huangfu Ruiling said, unconcerned. Those things have nothing to do with us. Though after the Family Compet.i.tion wraps up, I imagine Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage will be placed on the agenda.

Then itll be a few more months before our wager concludes and we know who the winner and loser is! Ye Lengan nodded. She glanced back at Huangfu Ruiling and suddenly posed, Ruiling, have you never considered any of what I just said? Why didnt you mention all this when I was readily admitting defeat last night?

Anan, we were making a bet, Huangfu Ruiling replied, smiling at Ye Lengan. Since you volunteered to concede, why would I go reminding you of caveats?

Hearing Huangfu Ruilings response, Ye Lengan was left speechless, unable to formulate a retort.

Oh right, there is one other thing. Huangfu Ruiling suddenly pulled out a doc.u.ment from his desk and pa.s.sed it to Ye Lengan. Have a look at this.

Without hesitating, Ye Lengan accepted the proffered file and opened it, teasing as she did, This is confidential company doc.u.mentation! How could you just casually show such a thing to an outsider? Arent you worried I might leak secrets?

Since even I am yours now, Huangfu Ruiling stated matter-of-factly, then all that I have naturally belongs to you as well. By that logic, the Group is also yours. Not to mention this, all the doc.u.ments in the office you can feel free to peruse now.

l must decline the honor! Ye Lengan quickly shook her head. l have zero interest in these doc.u.ments of yours. I do still quite like hearing that youre mine though.

As she spoke, Ye Lengan skimmed through the opened file. Finally realizing why Huangfu Ruiling had her look it over, she knew.

Is this about the design compet.i.tion Ye Xiyuan entered? Ye Lengan queried with a smile. What about that designer I mentioned who would win how is he doing?

Our subsidiary has contacted and signed him on, Huangfu Ruiling elaborated. Coincidentally though, some trouble struck the designer en route to report at the subsidiary this morning. While not life-threatening, he sustained a hand injury that requires a months convalescence.

And the compet.i.tion itself takes place next week. Ye Lengans eyes flashed with comprehension. Sticking to the original plan, I suppose missing out now is unavoidable for him. So that accident was undoubtedly manufactured by

Ye Xiyuan.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Highly likely, yes. Our people didnt dig into it deeply though the report to his doctor sufficed.

No need to investigate so thoroughly when it ultimately had little bearing for them either way.

This Ye Xiyuan really is quite ruthless! Ye Lengans lips twisted into a sardonic smile. Shes eliminating all potential complications!

Even minus this designers partic.i.p.ation, Ye Xiyuan claiming the champions.h.i.+p remains unlikely, Huangfu Ruiling countered. At my prompting, the compet.i.tions scale and gravitas were elevated exponentially this year. Naturally, the theme itself is still undeclared as well..
