Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

As Ye Lengan had a prearranged meeting with Sun Waner, she didnt go out the next day, staying in the villa and waiting.

However, to her surprise, Sun Waner arrived at eight in the morning.

When Sister Li woke her up, informing her of the visitor, Ye Lengan was momentarily stunned. Then, she remembered Sun Waner was coming over that day. Glancing at the time, she felt a bit speechless; although they agreed Sun Waner would come that day, they hadnt specified a time. Unexpectedly, Sun Waner arrived at eight oclock, indicating her keen interest in the matter. That was a good thing since caring provided motivation.

Ye Lengan instructed Sister Li to greet the guest first and went to freshen up herself.

After finis.h.i.+ng her morning routine and descending the stairs, Ye Lengan saw Sun Waner waiting on the sofa.

Sun Waner, in a suit dress, sat there with makeup, yet her haggard appearance still showed. It was evident she wasnt faring well.

Not surprising, though. Despite being from a big family and marrying into another prominent one like the Nangong family, there was still an issue. Living a privileged life but unable to conceive, she also had to endure her husband bringing an illegitimate child into the household.

Sun Waner noticed Ye Lengan almost as soon as she came downstairs. Dressed in simple home attire without makeup, Ye Lengans beauty couldnt be ignored. Just standing there, she exuded charm.

Seeing Ye Lengan like this, Sun Waner finally understood why Huangfu Ruiling, who had not shown interest in women before, fell for this girl. He was even willing to publicly acknowledge her status and was on the brink of engagement.

Ye Lengan strolled to the sofa, sat down, leaned against it, raised an eyebrow, and casually asked, Madam Nangong, amI good-looking?

There was a hint of mockery in her tone.

Sun Waner, awakened by the crisp voice, showed no embarra.s.sment but admiration. Miss Ye, you indeed possess exceptional beauty. No wonder the head of the Huangfu family is enamored with you.

Her approving tone made it clear it was a sincere compliment, not sarcasm.

Thank you for the compliment. Ye Lengan graciously accepted the praise. Second Madam Nangong is also a great beauty!

This was a fact. Despite Sun Waner being of mature age, her meticulous care and exquisite features maintained her beauty. With pa.s.sing years, she even acquired a serene charm.

After hearing Ye Lengans words, Sun Waner chuckled, not taking it to heart. She thought Ye Lengan was just being polite. After all, facing such a stunning beauty, any woman would feel inadequate.

Miss Ye, you can call me Ms. Sun. Sun Waner picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Then, she froze.

Being the Sun familys daughter and the Nangong familys Second Madam, she naturally enjoyed the best. However, none of the tea leaves she experienced could compare to the tea in her hand.

The faint fragrance of the tea lingered in her mouth for a long time. Most importantly, when the tea went down her stomach, she felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen. It was the first time in years she experienced this.

The primary reason for her inability to conceive was a miscarriage in her youth that damaged her uterus.

Over the years, she had consulted countless doctors and taken various medications Chinese and Western all with no improvement.

A simple sip of tea made her feel unusually comfortable, boosting her confidence in Ye Lengan.

Ye Lengan naturally observed Sun Waners change. Her lips curled into a faint smile as she said, Ms. Sun, Ive already explained the details over the phone. I can help you conceive within a month, and it will undoubtedly be a son.

Hearing this, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Sun Waners eyes. However, she suppressed her excitement. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, Miss Ye, may I ask why youre helping me? Or rather, what do you want from me?

There was no such thing as a free lunch. She didnt believe Ye Lengan would help her just out of kindness. So, she was sure Ye Lengan had her own motives.

Yet, Ye Lengan was Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend, on the verge of engagement. If she wanted something, Huangfu Ruiling could undoubtedly help her get it.

In other words, if she could do it, Huangfu Ruiling could do it too. Conversely, she might not be able to do what Huangfu Ruiling could.

So, she was genuinely puzzled about Ye Lengans intentions.

Indeed, replied Ye Lengan, facing Sun Waners doubts without finding them strange. I helped you for my own reasons.

Sun Waner retaining her position as the Nangong familys Second Madam despite not having children was not only due to her familys support but also her own capabilities. After all, being raised by a prominent family, she had some tricks up her sleeve.

Upon receiving Ye Lengans answer, Sun Waner felt relieved instead of uncomfortable. Then, may I ask if its convenient for you to tell me?

Having a purpose was good. If Ye Lengan had said she simply wanted to help, Sun Waner might have hesitated.

Of course, said Ye Lengan without hesitation. Ms. Sun, you should know Ye Xiyuan, right?

Sun Waner was surprised to hear this name. After a moment of thought, she nodded. You mean Nangong Rimings fiance, right?

A while ago, Nangong Riming insisted on marrying a woman from a lesser-known family, facing strong opposition from her husband. She didnt care at all, and the womans name seemed to be Ye Xiyuan.
