Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After going through an internal struggle, Li Yiran finally chose to turn around. She looked at Ye Lengan with suspicion in her eyes. Would you really be so kind as to help me? Ye Lengan, what sinister scheme is this?

If you think what Im saying now is a devious plot, feel free to turn and leave, Ye Lengan said indifferently. 1 promise not to try to stop you.

Li Yiran desperately wanted to have enough backbone to immediately storm off, but her body seemed to ignore her will, frozen in place.

Ye Lengan showed no impatience either, standing there with an aura of calm indifference as if Li Yiran!s response held no real importance to her.

After about 15 minutes had pa.s.sed, Li Yiran was finally unable to restrain the yearning within her heart. Ye Lengan, what exactly is this method you mentioned?

While believing Ye Lengan unlikely to earnestly aid her, she currently lacked the resolve to discard even the slightest possibility. With all escape routes severed, failing to become Huangfu Ruixiangs lawful wife doomed her eternally to hidden affair status.

Rather than mocking or taunting Li Yiran, Ye Lengan directly said, Im sure youve heard this saying before. The mothers status relies on the son.

You mean Li Yiran swiftly grasped the implication.

In terms of background, capabilities, connections you lack any advantage whatsoever, Ye Lengan candidly a.s.sessed. Thus, this remains your sole bargaining chip now.

As she spoke, Ye Lengan pulled a small bottle from her pocket and tossed it over to Li Yiran.

Unsure what it held, Li Yiran reflexively reached out to catch it.

There is a medicinal pill inside that can improve your const.i.tution. Ingesting but one suffices to restore your health substantially, if not completely. At a minimum, it should grant the ability to bear children safely as an ordinary woman. Otherwise, given your current frail state, even achieving pregnancy risks fatal complications when birthing.

Hearing Ye Lengans words sparked a touch of indignance within Li Yiran, yet she could contrive no counterarguments, recognizing the harsh truth they contained. However

What if I do conceive, yet Huangfu Ruixiang still refuses marriage? Chaos swirled within her. Doubts lingered whether undertaking this held wisdom, alongside suspicion around Ye Lengans motives for the suggestion.

Most importantly, Ye Lengan actually gave her pills. Yes, these were pills, not ordinary capsules. Although she didnt know what kind of pills were in this bottle, she couldnt help but acknowledge Ye Lengans medical skills. After all, Ye Lengan had cured her of the Gu poison. However, she didnt understand why Ye Lengan would give her pills for body conditioning!

Ye Lengan responded to Li Yiran with bafflement. That would be your own affair how does it relate to me? Ive simply laid an idea before you. Whatever unfolds next lies wholly beyond my interests. Whether Huangfu Ruixiang marries you or not what slightest difference does that make to me?

Did Li Yiran misunderstand something? Could it be that Li Yiran felt she had an obligation to help her marry Huangfu Ruixiang? At this moment, she was willing to remind Li Yiran only because of the bet between her and Huangfu Ruiling. Due to Huangfu Ruilings recent actions, she was just trying to turn the situation around.

Arent you trying to help me marry Huangfu Ruixiang? Li Yiran faltered briefly after those words. Why else tell me to exploit motherhood ties, or provide recuperative medicine?

Consider it a random act of kindness, Ye Lengan coolly replied. The outcome holds zero relevance your marrying Huangfu Ruixiang or not matters not at all to me.

Having said her piece, she strode past Li Yiran directly toward their private room.

Gazing after Ye Lengans retreating back, dejection and turmoil roiled through Li Yiran..
