Chapter 747: The Engagement Ceremony

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Time pa.s.sed swiftly, and Ye Lengan had already received the admission letter from the Capital University. Along with it came the engagement ceremony with Huangfu Ruiling.

Similar to the previous one in the Hidden World, yet somehow different.

When Ye Lengan, adorned in her best attire, arrived at the venue holding hands with Huangfu Ruiling, she saw Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying standing at the entrance to greet the guests.

They had smiles on their faces, seemingly delighted about Huangfu Ruilings engagement. At a glance, they appeared to be exemplary parents with a good relations.h.i.+p with their children.

However, those privy to the truth knew that the relations.h.i.+p between this couple and Huangfu Ruiling was far from good. If their relations.h.i.+p was indeed positive, how could Huangfu Jingzhang, at such a young age, willingly step down from the position of family head?

Observing Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuyings demeanor, Ye Lengan approached Huangfu Ruiling and remarked with a subtle smile, Look, your parents seem genuinely happy!

Their acting is indeed commendable, Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. They are smart enough to know whats best for both sides.

Ye Lengan nodded, smiling. Its a shame that anyone aware of your relations.h.i.+p wouldnt perceive it as good.

Let them do as they please, Huangfu Ruiling said, a faint smile on his lips. On a day like today, as long as there are no mistakes, that would be ideal.

He had already given strict instructions to ensure no mishaps on this significant day. If Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying caused any trouble, they were to be promptly escorted away.

Today marked a joyous occasion for him and Ye Lengan. Although they had already celebrated an engagement ceremony in the Hidden World, this ceremony in the mortal world held significant importance.

Alright, lets go inside!

Ye Lengan straightened her posture, holding Huangfu Ruilings hand as they walked into the banquet hall.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying momentarily froze, but quickly recovered. One couldnt help but suspect that the subtle change was a mere illusion.

Approaching them, Zhongyu Liuying smiled and said, Hurry inside! Your father and I will greet the guests here.

Her demeanor resembled that of any ordinary mother delighted about her childs engagement. Then, glancing inside, she continued with a smile, Perfect timing, Ruixiang and Yating are back and inside! Its been a while since you brothers met, a good opportunity to catch up.

Aware that repairing their relations.h.i.+p with Huangfu Ruiling was nearly impossible, Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang could only create chances for Huangfu Ruixiang to befriend Huangfu Ruiling and mend their brotherly bond.

Huangfu Ruiling, noticing Zhongyu Liuyings thoughts, nodded and walked into the banquet hall with Ye Lengan.

Huangfu Ruixiang, accompanied by Zhong Yating, abandoned his previous conversation upon seeing Huangfu Ruiling and hurried toward them.

Left behind, Zhong Yating displayed a hint of awkwardness before following after Huangfu Ruixiang.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, she finally understood why Huangfu Ruixiang had lost his composure.

Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of acknowledging Huangfu Ruixiang, but he couldnt resist when Huangfu Ruixiang took the initiative.

Brother, Sister-in-law, youre here! Huangfu Ruixiang greeted them with a smile. Congratulations on your big day!

Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang indifferently and replied, Thank you.

And that was the end of it.

Faced with such a cold response, Huangfu Ruixiang felt his face redden, standing there at a loss for words.

In the past, unaware of Huangfu Ruilings position in the Hidden Worlds Huangfu family, he could maintain composure and even feel a subtle sense of superiority. In the eyes of their parents, Huangfu Ruiling was the one abandoned, and moreover, he was seated in a wheelchair. Despite being the head of the Huangfu family, he was still perceived as disabled.

However, now that he knew the truth, facing Huangfu Ruiling made him nervous.

Brother, Sister-in-law. Zhong Yating had joined Huangfu Ruixiang at this point. Holding Huangfu Ruixiangs hand, she continued with a smile, You two are truly a perfect match. Were genuinely happy to attend your engagement ceremony today!

Observing Zhong Yating and Huangfu Ruixiang, Ye Lengans eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Despite their engagement, she could sense some resistance from Huangfu Ruixiang towards Zhong Yating. However, seeing Zhong Yating holding onto Huangfu Ruixiangs arm without any rejection or resistance was truly odd. Their relations.h.i.+p had become subtly complex in a short period.

Sister-in-law, why are you staring at me? Zhong Yating, sensing Ye Lengans gaze, smiled and asked, Is there something on my face?

Nothing. I just feel that, after some time apart, your relations.h.i.+p seems to have improved a lot! Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, smiling. Looks like youll soon get married!

Previously, when Zhong Yating had mentioned marriage, Huangfu Ruixiang had no intention of getting married.
