At that moment, a clear voice rang out, tinged with sarcasm.

We actually dont mind at all, unexpectedly declared Ye Lengan, who had been observing from the sidelines. She chuckled and added, Although we emphasize the order of seniority, flexibility is key! Ruixiang and Yating are on a tight schedule, so lets proceed with their engagement first.

Having spoken, she turned to Huangfu Ruiling, tilted her head, and asked with a smile, Ling, do you think Im right?

Absolutely, affirmed Huangfu Ruiling, agreeing wholeheartedly with Ye Lengans words. If youre in a hurry, I can inform them now, and your engagement ceremony can take place tomorrow.

This sudden turn of events prompted diverse reactions among the people in the hall.

Zhong Yating wore a face of delight, thinking her engagement ceremony, which she initially believed would be postponed, was now set for tomorrow. This unexpected change brought her immense joy.

However, the expressions of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying soured. Huangfu Ruilings words felt like a slap in the face, directly contradicting their previous emphasis on seniority. It was not only embarra.s.sing but also signaled their lack of influence in the family.

Huangfu Ruixiangs face froze, shocked by the unexpected interference from Huangfu Ruiling at this crucial moment.

l think its a fantastic idea. Ye Lengan applauded, endorsing Huangfu Ruilings suggestion. Ruixiang and Yating are pressed for time. Holding the engagement ceremony tomorrow is the best option.

She discerned that Huangfu Ruixiang wasnt keen on the engagement. The exchanged glances between Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhongyu Liuying revealed that the latter was stalling for time on behalf of Huangfu Ruixiang.

However, Zhong Yating was eager to proceed with the engagement, so she decided to stir the waters.

Can we really do this? Zhong Yating asked, her tone filled with joy and urgency. Wont it be too rushed?

As long as both of you are willing, we can hold the engagement ceremony tonight if you want, Ye Lengan suggested with a smile. just wonder what

Ruixiang and you are thinking.

Of course, were willing, Zhong Yating affirmed, turning to Huangfu

Ruixiang. She smiled and asked, Ruixiang, dont you think so?

Faced with Zhong Yatings question, Huangfu Ruixiang resisted internally but managed to force a smile, replying, Yes, were definitely willing.

Zhongyu Liuying interjected, This is too rushed! Our Huangfu family holds a prominent position in the capital. How can we hastily arrange an engagement ceremony? Outsiders might misunderstand. Besides, its not good for Yatings reputation!

l dont mind, Zhong Yating quickly interjected. Moreover, Ruixiang and I need to return to the Hidden World soon. We cant stay here for too long. Therefore, its better to hold the engagement ceremony as soon as possible.

Ruixiang is your younger brother. Huangfu Jingzhang stared sharply at Huangfu Ruiling. Dont you understand the importance of his engagement ceremony? Rus.h.i.+ng it like this will only invite ridicule.

He wanted Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan to leave immediately. Couldnt they see that they didnt want Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating to get engaged?

Truly, they were at odds with each other! Every time Huangfu Ruiling seemed to ruin his plans, and now he was causing trouble for Ruixiang.

However, regardless of the internal curses, Huangfu Jingzhang dared not be too firm.

After being demoted from the family head position, he realized that he now depended on Huangfu Ruiling for his livelihood. Although Huangfu Ruiling was his son, he had no authority in front of him. He couldnt expect Huangfu Ruiling to listen to him.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced indifferently at Huangfu Jingzhang, then turned to

Li San, instructing, Li San, inform Huangting Hotel that the Second Young Master will hold an engagement ceremony tomorrow night. Ensure they are prepared. Also, notify the major families to attend Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement banquet.

Yes, Master.

With a swift acknowledgment, Li San departed to carry out Huangfu Ruilings orders.

In an instant, everything was decided, catching everyone off guard.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying didnt antic.i.p.ate that Huangfu Ruiling wouldnt just talk but give orders.

Before long, the news would spread through the upper echelons of the capitals society. They would be left with no room to retract their statements.

Huangfu Ruixiangs smiling face stiffened. Clearly, he hadnt expected Huangfu Ruiling to take such decisive action. For a moment, he felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar, s.h.i.+vering.

The happiest person in the hall was undoubtedly Zhong Yating. Initially worried about a delayed engagement ceremony, everything had taken a

180-degree turn. Her engagement with Huangfu Ruixiang was now scheduled tor tomorrow.

She reached out, grasping Huangfu Ruixiangs arm, and leaned on his shoulder with a sweet smile. Ruixiang, were getting engaged tomorrow. Are you happy?

Huangfu Ruixiang seemed to wake up from a daze, forcing a smile. Of course, Im happy.

Now that the time is set, lets get started! Ye Lengan, who had been spectating, suggested with a smile. You should quickly decide on the dresses and accessories for tomorrow night. However, I believe Auntie has ample experience in this area and will do well, right?

Zhongyu Liuyings expression was grim, but before she could speak, Huangfu Ruiling intervened. If Mother cant handle both, I can ask Second Auntie to help.

No need. Zhongyu Liuying gritted their teeth. Ill manage. This is Ruixiangs engagement ceremony. Theres no need for Nangong Xiyu to interfere..
