Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After ending the call, Huangfu Ruiling gazed at Ye Lengan and congratulated her, Well done on acing the college entrance exam! What kind of reward would you like?

Ye Lengan blinked, then replied with a smile, Theres a reward! But I havent decided yet. Ill let you know once Ive made up my mind!

Alright! Huangfu Ruilings voice was filled with affection.

While the two shared a tender moment, Huangfu Ruilings phone rang at an inconvenient time. Disregarding it, he hung up.

However, the caller seemed persistent and immediately dialed again.

Ye Lengan suggested, You should answer it!

Despite Huangfu Ruilings displeasure at the untimely call, he obeyed Ye Lengans advice and picked up, his tone chilly. Whats the matter?

In less than a minute, Huangfu Ruiling responded curtly, Got it, and hung up.

Curious, Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow. Who was it?

Zhongyu Liuying, Huangfu Ruiling replied without concealment. She asked me to go back.

Then go quickly! Ye Lengan stood up and nudged Huangfu Ruiling. Its probably because your ident.i.ty has been exposed, and thats why she urgently summoned you! She is quite well-informed! Weve only just returned, and she already knew.

Huangfu Ruixiang, Huangfu Ruiling disclosed the informants name. He told her.

Ye Lengan smiled and commented, Clearly, the knives are out for you this time!

Ill go back and check, Huangfu Ruiling said casually. Do you want to come with me?

No. Ye Lengan shook her head. I plan to practice alchemy later, so I wont accompany you.

Having been occupied with other matters, she hadnt practiced alchemy for a long time. With some free time now, she intended to refine pills and hone her skills.

Accepting her decision, Huangfu Ruiling bid farewell and left the villa.

Once Huangfu Ruiling departed, Ye Lengan entered the alchemy room to begin her practice.

Huangfu Ruiling swiftly returned to the Huangfu familys ancestral residence. Upon entering, he found Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying seated with peculiar expressions neither good nor bad.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying watched Huangfu Ruiling enter with bewilderment. They had learned from Ruixiang that Huangfu Ruilings legs had long recovered.

However, seeing it firsthand still shocked them.

You Zhongyu Liuying couldnt help asking, When did you recover and could stand?

Huangfu Ruiling walked to the sofa, sat down, and leaned back. Why did you call me back this time?

Didnt you hear your mothers question? Huangfu Jingzhang felt irritated. Is this how you treat your mother?

The accusatory demeanor exuded a sense of superiority that made it uncomfortable to listen to.

Unfazed, Huangfu Ruiling maintained his composure, his eyes icy. What does it have to do with you?

What kind of att.i.tude is this? Huangfu Jingzhang, frustrated by Huangfu Ruilings indifference, became agitated. We are your parents, not your enemies. How can you treat us like this?

Believe what you want. Compared to Huangfu Jingzhangs frustration, Huangfu Ruiling remained calm, almost indifferent. If you called me back today to question and punish, theres no need. Also, dont forget your current status.

Hearing that, Huangfu Jingzhang was furious. Our status? We are your parents!

So what? Huangfu Ruiling crossed his hands, looking at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying with eyes devoid of any extra emotion. Are you trying to a.s.sert your parental authority in front of me? Showing respect for others according to a persons status and age, status is prior to age.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were not fools; they naturally understood Huangfu Ruilings words.

Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family, undoubtedly the most esteemed figure within the entire family. Even though they were his parents, within the family, they had to show utmost respect to Huangfu Ruiling.

You Huangfu Jingzhangs face turned red with anger.

However, seeing Huangfu Ruilings indifferent expression, he didnt dare to erupt. He knew very well that if he dared to confront Huangfu Ruiling in anger, Huangfu Ruiling would genuinely punish him. Moreover, even if Huangfu Ruiling did punish him, no one in the entire family would plead for him, and no one would dare to have any objections against Huangfu Ruiling.

Ruiling, were just concerned about you. Zhongyu Liuying, sensing that something was amiss, immediately spoke to ease the tension. Were your parents, and we definitely wont harm you.

Hearing her words, a trace of mockery flashed in Huangfu Ruilings eyes.

It seemed this couple had forgotten about the kidnapping incident.

Just state your purpose directly. Huangfu Ruiling said coldly, I dont have time to beat around the bush with you.

Huangfu Jingzhang was angered, but Zhongyu Liuying pulled his sleeve, and upon seeing Huangfu Ruilings cold gaze, his anger dissipated, leaving only an icy demeanor.

Because in Huangfu Ruilings eyes, he saw no warmth, as if they werent his parents. For a moment, he felt only a chilling solemnity.

Ruiling, we genuinely have no ulterior motives. Zhongyu Liuying forced a smile. When did your legs recover? Why didnt you tell us? Weve been worried about your legs all these years!
