Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Dont worry too much about other peoples matters. Huangfu Ruiling directly embraced Ye Lengans waist, his deep voice tinged with a hint of displeasure. Today is our special day, and you should focus more on me.
Hearing Huangfu Ruilings dissatisfaction, Ye Lengan found it amusing but still tried to rea.s.sure him. All my attention is on you; you shouldnt misunderstand me!
After scanning the surroundings, Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Lengans hand. Lets go outside for a stroll! There are too many people here.
Coincidentally, Ye Lengan didnt want to linger in this place either, so she followed Huangfu Ruiling and left the banquet scene.
Many people noticed the couple leaving, but everyone tactfully ignored it. Though they were the protagonists, this was their territory, and people refrained from commenting on their choices.
Seeing this, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu immediately wanted to follow suit, hoping to have a conversation with Ye Lengan away from the crowd. Despite expecting no kind words from her, they still wanted to spend some time with her.
However, as they took a few steps forward, they were intercepted by the Grand Elder, Huangfu Changmao.
Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, my apologies for not greeting you properly. Are you leaving? Though Huangfu Changmao didnt know the specifics of the grievances between them, he could sense the Masters disdain for the Ye family. Otherwise, they wouldnt have omitted invitations to them for this engagement ceremony.
Now that it seemed the family head wanted some private time with Miss Ye, Huangfu Changmao naturally couldnt allow others to disturb them.
After being stopped, Ye Hongxuans expression turned sour, but in the Huangfu familys domain, he couldnt afford to lose his temper. Suppressing his anger, he spoke, Grand Elder, we, as a couple, find it rather dull here. Wed like to go out and get some fresh air. Is that permissible?
Of course, its allowed. Huangfu Changmao smiled and summoned a servant. Instructing the servant, he said, Master Ye and Mrs. Ye wish to go for a walk. Lead the way and attend to them.
Before Ye Hongxuan could voice any objections, Huangfu Changmao turned to him, smiling. Master Ye, please! I hope you have an enjoyable time.
Instantly, Ye Hongxuan couldnt utter a word of refusal. He reluctantly followed the disciples lead and commenced a tour of the garden outside.
Until the banquets end, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu never had a chance to see Ye Lengan again.
Ye Lengan remained oblivious to the happenings. She and Huangfu Ruiling had already arrived at the garden outside.
Though it was dark, the garden was adorned with small white lamps, casting a brightness akin to daylight.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, like any regular couple, strolled hand in hand, fingers intertwined.
The air here is better. Ye Lengan took a deep breath, smiling. It was too noisy inside; its more comfortable and peaceful here.
You dont enjoy this kind of occasion? Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. If you dislike it in the future, just say so; theres no need to endure.
Its not that I dislike it. Ye Lengan smiled, shaking her head. I just feel there are too many people, and I dont want to engage in socializing. Being here, strolling with you feels more comfortable.
Huangfu Ruiling couldnt help but smile upon hearing her express her liking for being with him.
His already perfect face now appeared so handsome that he seemed unreal. If there were other girls present, they would undoubtedly be captivated.
Despite spending day and night together and being accustomed to Huangfu Ruilings face, Ye Lengan couldnt help but feel a flutter in her heart at this moment. Her gaze, which had become familiar with his face, now held a hint of enchantment.
Observing her expression, Huangfu Ruilings smile deepened, and he even let out a low chuckle.
Upon hearing his laughter, Ye Lengan snapped out of her daze.
Regaining her composure, she glared at him. Is it funny, or are you reveling in your own charm?
Her squinted eyes seemed to convey a message: If Huangfu Ruiling dared to affirm, the following consequences would be unpleasant.
Im delighted, Huangfu Ruiling said, smiling softly. But Im happy that you appreciate my face. It means Ive gained another point in your heart, doesnt it?
After hearing his response, Ye Lengan burst into laughter. Then, shaking her head in amus.e.m.e.nt, she said, You truly know how to talk! In the past, you were like a closed book How did you become so articulate? Did you learn it from someone?
Its all sincere. Huangfu Ruilings tone was earnest.
Alright, Ill trust you completely. Ye Lengan smiled, saying, In the future, say more of these kind words. I still like them.
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled, not responding.
Seeming to recall something, Ye Lengan maintained a smile on her face and continued, I truly didnt expect that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu didnt receive invitations yet still came uninvited.
Ye Yikun probably played a part in this. Huangfu Ruilings lips curled into a sarcastic smile. Didnt I tell you before? Ye Yikun is undoubtedly a qualified leader.
Ye Lengan understood and nodded. Indeed, Ye Yikun knows when to yield! When I was in the Ye family, wasnt he vehemently opposed to letting me return? Why did he push Ye Hongxuan out now, attempting to ease our relations.h.i.+p? What a joke!
Back at the Ye residence, Ye Yikun had a.s.serted that she was absolutely forbidden from entering. Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu didnt dare utter a word. Now, not only had they come uninvited, but it also turned out that Ye Yikun had already agreed to it!
Probably because he learned about my ident.i.ty, Huangfu Ruiling said casually. Ye Yikun decided to keep Ye Wanwan after considering the pros and cons since Ye Wanwan is still tied to the Murong familys marriage.
Ye Lengan sneered and said, The Ye family is considered an alchemist family! Why fixate on this marriage alliance and seek relations with other families?
