Chapter 761: Their Simple Wedding

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Upon arriving at the banquet venue, Ye Lengan held Huangfu Ruilings hand as they slowly walked in.

At the entrance, only Zhong Yating stood there alone to welcome the guests.

Although a huge wedding poster adorned the doorway, only the bride was present to greet the guests, lending an air of desolation to the scene.

Yet, Zhong Yatings face was adorned with a radiant smile, exuding happiness as any bride would, seemingly unaffected by the circ.u.mstances.

Ye Lengan, drawing closer to Huangfu Ruiling, whispered, Zhong Yatings resilience is remarkable! To maintain such a cheerful demeanor in these circ.u.mstances, facing guests alone without a hint of complaint truly impressive!

Arching an eyebrow, Huangfu Ruiling remarked calmly, Given the wish she fulfilled, its natural for her to be happy. She can endure this slight discomfort.

Ye Lengan chuckled and shook her head. I really wonder what shes seeking. To risk so much just to marry a scoundrel like Huangfu Ruixiang its beyond comprehension!

In her eyes, Huangfu Ruixiang was indeed a true scoundrel. First Li Yiran, now Zhong Yating.

Yet, Li Yiran hadnt been as fortunate as Zhong Yating; at least Zhong Yating could claim a t.i.tle.

Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, opting not to dwell further. Lets proceed inside.

Ye Lengan concurred, and they swiftly entered the banquet hall.

Inside, a somber atmosphere prevailed. The decorations were spa.r.s.e a few modest flower arrangements and balloons hardly enough to set a festive mood. The wedding appeared quite modest.

This was indeed a simple, almost rudimentary, Chinese wedding, with just a few tables set up. While the guests were numerous, they whispered amongst themselves. Huangfu Ruixiang, supposed to accompany Zhong Yating in greeting guests, sat atop the main seat, occasionally glancing towards the door, seemingly eager to leave but restrained, unlike Zhong Yating.

As for Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, the parents, their faces betrayed no joy. They sat quietly, hardly acknowledging Zhong Yatings presence, devoid of any pretense.

Likewise, seated at the main table was the Huangfu familys second branch. While they shared a table, the divide between the first and second branches was apparent.

Witnessing this, many could discern their dissatisfaction with Huangfu Ruixiangs wedding. Yet, for reasons unknown, they couldnt oppose it, only compromise.

Otherwise, even a regular affluent family wouldnt host such a simple wedding. Huangfu Ruixiang, being the younger brother of the family head Huangfu Ruiling, should have had a more dignified ceremony. Such a small-scale affair left much to be desired.

However, curiosity abounded regarding tonights bride. To defy the objections of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying and marry Huangfu Ruixiang, despite the modest wedding, was quite impressive.

Seated at the main table, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan nodded in acknowledgment before engaging in hushed conversation, ignoring the rest.

Its surprisingly spa.r.s.e tonight, Ye Lengan whispered, scanning the room. These must all be Huangfu family members.

Yeah. Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Apart from them, there are no outsiders. Even the entire Huangfu family isnt here.

It must be hard for Zhongyu Liuying to prepare such a simple wedding, Ye Lengan remarked, amused.

Indeed, Zhongyu Liuyings disdain for Zhong Yating was palpable. Despite time constraints, the Huangfu family could have organized a respectable wedding. Yet, it had come to this.

Perhaps they antic.i.p.ated disruptions during the ceremony and opted for fewer guests, Huangfu Ruiling suggested, to avoid any unpleasantness.

Ye Lengan rolled her eyes. Does she think this setup is aesthetically pleasing?

Guests were evidently speculating, finding Zhongyu Liuyings actions distasteful.

Huangfu Ruilings eyes gleamed with scorn. She believes shes expressing dissatisfaction with Zhong Yating, unaware shes making a mockery of herself.

Such petty tactics were beneath him, yet Huangfu Ruiling wouldnt intervene if Zhongyu Liuying insisted

Ye Lengan nodded. Still, Huangfu Ruixiang is spineless. Regardless of his dissatisfaction, leaving Zhong Yating to face this alone today is unacceptable.

Hence her disdain for him.

He refuses to acknowledge Zhong Yating as his wife, Huangfu Ruiling stated coldly. Using Zhongyu Liuyings intervention as an excuse to appear helpless.

Hard to believe someone would fall for such an irresponsible man, Ye Lengan scoffed.

Huangfu Ruilings lips twitched, opting for silence.

Next, the two of them didnt continue discussing the topic. Instead, they began chatting about mundane matters and some amusing incidents that had occurred at Ye Lengans school in the past few days.

They were just like any ordinary couple, talking and laughing together, making those around them aware of the strong bond between them.
