Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Although Zheng Anyang had many questions in his mind, he refrained from asking, fearing he might touch upon something that would upset Ye Lengan. Especially during such a joyous occasion, it seemed unnecessary.

Ye Lengan, seemingly unfazed, spoke slowly, Our engagement ceremony is already in preparation. It will take place before the start of the university term. Princ.i.p.al, please come and attend our engagement ceremony!

Seeing Ye Lengans calm demeanor, Zheng Anyang felt rea.s.sured. He smiled and responded, Certainly! Make sure to send me an invitation. Id like to attend and see what kind of person is worthy of you!

Upon hearing this, Ye Lengan furrowed her brow and then looked at Zheng Anyang strangely. Princ.i.p.al, didnt you already encounter him before? Have you forgotten?

Though they hadnt exchanged greetings at the banquet, the princ.i.p.al must have heard about her and Huangfu Ruiling. Why did he now act as if he knew nothing?

Zheng Anyang paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, So, your fianc is Huangfu Ruiling, right?

Yes! Ye Lengan nodded matter-of-factly. Weve been dating for some time now, and now were planning to get engaged. Its a natural progression!

They had already held an engagement ceremony in the Hidden World, and now another one was scheduled for the mortal world. While it seemed a bit bothersome, she was willing to accept it. The crucial point was that Huangfu Ruiling would take care of all the arrangements; she just needed to attend on time.

After Ye Lengans confirmation, Zheng Anyang took a deep breath, his eyes widening in surprise. Even though he had witnessed Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling together before, the news of their impending engagement still astonished him.

He held Ye Lengan in high regard, believing she was destined for greatness. However, Huangfu Ruiling, as the head of the prominent Huangfu family, was at the forefront of the four major families in the capital. Ye Lengan, on the other hand, was just an erroneously adopted daughter of a small Ye family, and their statuses seemed entirely mismatched.

It was unexpected that these two individuals not only got together but were also planning to get engaged.

Observing Zheng Anyangs reaction, Ye Lengan couldnt help but find it amusing. Princ.i.p.al, shouldnt this be too difficult to accept?

No, I was just a little surprised by this news. Zheng Anyang quickly regained composure, smiling as he said, Congratulations. Ill be sure to arrive early.

Regardless of his inner thoughts, on the surface, he appeared calm.

Ye Lengan seemed unperturbed and steered the conversation back to business. Princ.i.p.al, didnt you ask me to come here for my graduation certificate?

Yes. Apologetically, Zheng Anyang patted his head. I was so delighted to see you suddenly that I almost forgot my duties.

He rose, walked to a nearby filing cabinet, retrieved a book with a red cover, and handed it to Ye Lengan across the desk.

Ye Lengan took the graduation certificate and without inspecting it, stashed it into her bag. She then bid farewell. Princ.i.p.al, Ive taken the graduation certificate. If theres nothing else, Ill leave now.

Observing her preparing to depart, Zheng Anyang sighed. Theres no need to be in such a hurry. You just arrived. I still have something to discuss with you.

Ye Lengan, not rus.h.i.+ng, resumed her seat, calmly waiting for the princ.i.p.al to continue.

Youre this years top scorer in the college entrance examination, and you achieved a perfect score. Zheng Anyang adjusted his expression and stated, Now, several television stations want to interview you. What are your thoughts?

Traditionally, major television stations competed to interview the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Additionally, Ye Lengan was the sole perfect scorer in the past decade, making her exceptionally noteworthy.

Ye Lengan furrowed her brow, declaring, I dont plan to accept any interviews.

She disliked drawing attention to herself, especially exposing herself to the spotlight.

Ill help you decline those interviews. Zheng Anyang, unsurprised by Ye Lengans response, continued, However, the school will issue a press release about your situation. Is that acceptable to you?

It was an excellent opportunity to promote the school, having produced a top scorer after many years. Zheng Anyang was keen not to miss this chance. However, if Ye Lengan disagreed, he wouldnt proceed.

Their relations.h.i.+p had always been amicable because Zheng Anyang never compelled Ye Lengan to do anything she disliked in his capacity as the princ.i.p.al. He didnt intend to jeopardize this rare teacher-student bond.

Undeniably, there was another crucial factor Ye Lengan was about to be engaged to Huangfu Ruiling. Zheng Anyang didnt want to offend the Huangfu family backing Ye Lengan.

Princ.i.p.al, do as you see fit. Ye Lengan shrugged, indifferent. I dont mind these matters.

As long as she didnt have to be present, she was unconcerned. Moreover, the princ.i.p.al had been lenient with her throughout the year; it was time to reciprocate.

With Ye Lengans response, Zheng Anyang smiled, affirming, Dont worry. We wont utter anything that tarnishes your reputation. The school simply wants to take advantage of this opportunity for publicity, especially with new enrollments on the horizon.

A top scorer in the college entrance examination was an excellent publicity hook.

Ye Lengan showed no surprise, nodding to indicate her understanding.

Continuing, Zheng Anyang said, Theres one more thing. I wonder if you have the time to give a speech to this years graduating cla.s.s. It would motivate them to strive for good results in the coming college entrance examination.

At Zheng Anyangs words, Ye Lengans expression became peculiar. She frowned, gazing at Zheng Anyang, and asked in a skeptical tone, Princ.i.p.al, are you sure?
