Chapter 669: Go Back

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing the door open, Huangfu Ruiling looked up. As he saw the person who came, his initially stern expression immediately softened, and his voice carried an indulgent tone. Why did you come at this time? Werent you supposed to be at school today?

Ye Lengan didnt head towards the office desk; instead, she went straight to the sofa and took a seat. Leaning back against the sofa, she adopted a lazy posture. Some things happened, so I decided to skip school today. Since I had nothing else to do, I thought of dropping by to see you.

Not in a good mood? Huangfu Ruiling walked over to the sofa and took a seat beside her.

He was quite perceptive to Ye Lengans emotions. Therefore, upon glimpsing her expression, he could already sense that something was amiss emotionally.

Its nothing. I just found out that some things are different from what I originally thought, Ye Lengan said, pursing her lips. Honestly, I guess Im not good at judging people.

Yuan Sileis matter didnt have any impact on her, but it left her feeling a bit melancholic. It was as if something she had always taken for granted had suddenly been overturned.

Picking up on the melancholy in her tone, Huangfu Ruiling couldnt help but frown. What happened today? Anything bothering you?

Given the absence of secrets between them, and considering the relatively trivial nature of the matter, she shared the incident of Yuan Silei approaching her today.

In the end, she couldnt help but sigh. l thought I had a genuine friend. But now, it seems it was merely a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

Since youve severed ties, dont dwell on it, Huangfu Ruiling said with a smile. People unrelated to you arent worth your emotions.

Actually, I dont feel sad. Ye Lengan shook her head and continued, Its just that some things arent as I imagined.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and a glint of understanding flickered in his eyes.

Turning to face him, Ye Lengan extended her hand, cupping his face, and spoke earnestly, Theres nothing between Yuan Silei and me anymore. You dont need to do anything to her. I just expressed some sentiments, not sadness.

Just as Huangfu Ruiling understood her, she also had a good understanding of Huangfu Ruiling. Hence, when she sensed a fluctuation in his emotions just now, she immediately intervened.

Even though Yuan Silei!s sentiments towards her were likely a result of a calculated decision, they had been good friends for many years. Despite the current strained relations.h.i.+p, there was no need for retaliation.

Moreover, Yuan Sileis family company was already facing issues. Even if they didnt intervene, it probably wouldnt fare well. However, if Yuan Sileis family could turn things around, she wouldnt interfere.

With no existing relations.h.i.+p, she wasnt concerned.

After gazing at Ye Lengan for a while, Huangfu Ruiling finally sighed. Fine,

Ill go along with your decision.

Hehe, get back to work quickly! She waved her hand. Lets have hotpot for lunch, alright? I heard about a hotpot place with excellent reviews. Lets try it today!

Huangfu Ruiling readily agreed. He wouldnt decline any request from Ye Lengan.

On the other hand, in the Hidden Worlds Huangfu family

Huangfu Ruixiang received a message from his mother, stating that Huangfu Ruiling had been spotted in the company. This meant that Huangfu Ruiling was indeed in the mortal world.

Upon hearing this news, he promptly sought leave from his family and planned to return.

The leave request went smoothly. The senior brother overseeing them didnt inquire about the reason and approved it directly upon hearing of his intention to take leave. This was somewhat surprising.

After securing leave, he hastily packed and prepared to return to the mortal world.

However, to his surprise, he was intercepted by Zhong Yating the moment he stepped out.

Looking at Zhong Yating blocking his way, Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes showed a hint of displeasure, his tone carrying impatience. Zhong Yating, dont you normally focus on cultivation? Why are you everywhere?

Ruixiang. Zhong Yatings face displayed a trace of grievance upon hearing his words. l heard that you were planning to go back, so I specially followed you here.

l am indeed returning to the mortal world. What does that have to do with you? Huangfu Ruilings expression wasnt pleasant. If you dont have any business, move aside quickly; otherwise, it will be too late.

It should be noted that ordinary disciples like them could only leave the Hidden World at specific times. If they missed the time, they would have to wait until the next day.

However, those elders from influential families or individuals holding significant positions didnt need to adhere to this rule.

Therefore, his time was somewhat limited. He truly didnt have the luxury to waste time with Zhong Yating.

Ruixiang, let me go back with you! Zhong Yating looked at Huangfu

Ruixiang, smiling brightly. After all, didnt you promise to marry me before?

In that case, its only right for me to accompany you back to meet your parents!

What? Huangfu Ruixiang seemed to have heard something unimaginable.

Do you know what youre saying?

Of course, I do! As if she couldnt sense Huangfu Ruixiangs disdain, she maintained a radiant smile. Didnt you promise me? If thats the case, its perfectly reasonable for me to follow you back!

Seeing Zhong Yatings eager expression, Huangfu Ruixiang felt a headache coming on.

He couldnt bring Zhong Yating back with him. Setting everything else aside, Li Yiran still existed in the mortal world. Although Li Yiran wasnt the chosen wife, she was carrying his child. He didnt want to cause her unnecessary stress.

Zhong Yating, I told you before that Im going back to inform my parents about this. Huangfu Ruixiang tried to steady himself and continued, They arent aware of your existence right now. Your sudden appearance will only make them feel repelled..
