Chapter 715: The Engagement
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
In the face of Zhong Yatings temptation, Huangfu Ruixiangs expression remained unchanged. He simply pushed her away and spoke disdainfully, So many women want to marry me now. Do you genuinely believe you have any advantages? Do you possess profound cultivation or come from a distinguished family? What makes you think you can be my wife?
Zhong Yating, unfazed by the sudden push, maintained her smile. So what? Anyway, Im your legitimate fiance now, and Ill be your wife in the future. Dont forget, our engagement ceremony was approved and ordered by your elder brother. So, if you really want to abandon me afterward, Ill have to talk it out.
Huangfu Ruixiangs face darkened. Zhong Yating, dont think youve truly gained the upper hand. Were engaged, not married. Even if we were married, divorce is still an option. Do you truly believe this elusive engagement ceremony makes you my wife? Thats just a dream.
Alright! Zhong Yating said indifferently. Then go tell your brother you want to annul the engagement with me! Also, enlighten him on why were getting married. Let him know how his younger brother plans to scheme against him.
Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes flashed with coldness. Zhong Yating, are you courting death?
No, Im just reminding you. Zhong Yating smiled. I came to congratulate you today and discuss something important. Ruixiang, lets get married!
What? Huangfu Ruixiang seemed to hear something unbelievable. Zhong Yating, do you know what youre saying?
Of course, I know! Zhong Yating nodded. Were engaged now. Getting married is a natural progression. Is there a need to make such a fuss?
Zhong Yating, I think youre crazy, Huangfu Ruixiang said in disbelief. You know what Im thinking, yet you still want to get married. You must be daydreaming!
Completely unaffected, Zhong Yating continued, It doesnt matter what you think. It doesnt matter what I think. Whats important is how outsiders view us. Now that were a loving couple in the eyes of outsiders, isnt it natural for us to get married?
Huangfu Ruixiang was furious but had no way to refute it.
Ruixiang, Ill find time to talk to our parents and elder brother about marriage, Zhong Yating continued. As for the wedding, dont worry. Given elder brothers support for our engagement, he should approve of our marriage too.
Zhong Yating, you dare! Huangfu Ruixiang appeared fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
Huangfu Ruixiang, no need to resist. Its destined that well be together. Zhong Yating said with certainty. Were tied together now. In the future, dont even think about getting rid of me.
With that, she turned around and left, ignoring Huangfu Ruixiangs reaction.
However, it was obvious that she was in a good mood. She walked with the wind, humming a song.
The people she met along the way all stopped to greet her.
After Zhong Yatings announcement, almost everyone in the Huangfu family knew she was Huangfu Ruixiangs fiance. Now that there was news that Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family, didnt that mean Zhong Yating was about to marry into the Huangfu family?
Therefore, even though she was just an insignificant disciple, she became an existence everyone wanted to curry favor with.
Especially now, seeing Zhong Yating leave Huangfu Ruixiangs room happily, it was clear how close they were. The matter of their marriage seemed set in stone!
Not long after the news that Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family was revealed, the Huangfu family announced another important news. Huangfu Ruiling was about to hold an engagement ceremony with his fiance, Ye Lengan.
As soon as this news spread, it immediately attracted a wave of gossip.
Previously, Huangfu Ruiling had announced to the public that Ye Anan was his fiance. Now, it seemed Ye Anan was also an alias. The real name should be Ye Lengan.
When they received the news that Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan were about to get engaged, the other families began to inquire about the invitation.
After the Family Compet.i.tion, the Huangfu family had obtained the priority to mine the spirit stone mine. It was obvious the Huangfu family would benefit greatly from the mining in the next few years.
Over the years, the Huangfu family had become the number one family in the Hidden World. Now, it was even more secure in this position. Who didnt want to be on good terms with the Huangfu family?
At this moment, the Ye family had also heard the news.
Unlike the Huangfu familys jubilant mood, the Ye family appeared to be shrouded in dark clouds.
No one knew what had happened, but the Ye familys old master, Ye Yikun, was seriously injured and was still recuperating. The young lady of the Ye family, Ye Wanwan, was also seriously injured on the same day.
Everyone was guessing what the reason was. However, they couldnt figure it out. Of course, no one dared to discuss this matter openly.
At this moment, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu naturally knew the news. However, when they learned of this news, they were happy at first, but what followed was melancholy and worry.
In the courtyard, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu sat opposite each other. Both of them did not look too good. The hot tea in front of them had already turned cold, but the two of them did not care.
After being silent for a while, Lian Mengzhu could not help but speak up, Hongxuan, do you think when Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling are engaged, we
Dont even think about it. We cant attend in the name of her parents. Ye Hongxuan naturally knew what Lian Mengzhu wanted to ask. He cruelly dispelled all of Lian Mengzhus fantasies. Father will definitely not let us do this. More importantly, Lengan probably doesnt want to acknowledge us as her parents either!
After saying that, he could not help but smile bitterly. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
