Chapter 792: Her Surprising Attendance

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Wanwan, whats wrong? Murong Xingrui noticed that Ye Wanwans mood seemed a little off and immediately asked with concern. Are you feeling unwell?

He genuinely liked Ye Wanwan. Otherwise, he wouldnt have insisted on continuing the engagement with her after the family compet.i.tion incident. However, after spending some time together, he felt like he didnt really understand her. He even questioned whether he truly liked her or if it was just an old obsession.

Regardless, they were already engaged. Their engagement wasnt just between them but also between their families. Moreover

Looking at Ye Wanwan beside him, Murong Xingrui had to admit that in the Hidden World, few could compare to her beauty. Not to mention, she was also exceptionally talented in cultivation, and she was an alchemist.

Except for the slight damage to her familys reputation from the Family Compet.i.tion, she was outstanding in every aspect. Having such a future wife would undoubtedly be beneficial to him.

Im fine. Ye Wanwan smiled at Murong Xingrui. I was just lost in thought. Sorry for making you worry.

Thats good. Murong Xingrui nodded with a smile, then looked towards the door and said, I really didnt expect the head of the Huangfu family to come in person today. Usually, its just the elders who attend. Your grandfathers reputation is indeed substantial!

When Murong Xingrui mentioned Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Wanwans expression briefly turned unnatural.

Because every mention of Huangfu Ruiling reminded her of Ye Lengan. Despite her grandfathers support, she feared her true ident.i.ty would be revealed. If Murong Xingrui discovered she didnt have the bloodline of the Ye family, she didnt know how he would react.

Just the thought of Ye Lengan filled her with rage. She blamed Lian Zixin for not taking more decisive action when she decided to switch children. If Ye Lengan had died back then, none of this would have happened.

Now that Ye Lengan had resurfaced, she felt like everything she had could be taken away from her.

Especially now that she knew Huangfu Ruiling and Huangfu Ling were the same person, her hatred for Ye Lengan intensified.

She had been the one to pursue Huangfu Ruiling first, but Ye Lengan had stolen him away. If she had been the one engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, she would have had nothing to fear. Even if her true ident.i.ty was exposed, she wouldnt worry.

Although her parents hadnt said anything, it was evident they still harbored feelings for Ye Lengan. They even hoped Ye Lengan would return to the family.

As for her grandfather, he was indeed on her side, but his ambiguous stance made her wary. If Ye Lengan truly returned to the family, her situation would be even more difficult. Even her marriage to the Murong family could be affected.

Wanwan, why are you lost in thought again? Murong Xingrui frowned and gently patted her shoulder. You seem oddly behaved today. Are you sure youre not feeling unwell?

Im really fine. Ye Wanwan quickly forced a smile. Ive just been tired from helping with Grandfathers birthday preparations lately, thats all.

Hearing this, Murong Xingrui understood. He then advised, You should rest properly. You were seriously injured not long ago. Although youve recovered, you still need time to recuperate. Otherwise, it might harm your health.

I understand. Ye Wanwan smiled faintly, her impatience evident in her eyes. Dont worry, Im an alchemist and knowledgeable in medicine.

Murong Xingrui nodded and didnt press further.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had already left swiftly. However, halfway there, they encountered Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

The couple walked hand in hand, exuding an otherworldly charm that drew everyones attention.

But to Lian Mengzhu, only Ye Lengan mattered. As Ye Lengan approached, she felt a bit nervous, recalling their last unpleasant encounter. She didnt know what to say.

Fortunately, Ye Hongxuan quickly joined her. He glanced at Ye Lengan and said with a complicated expression, I didnt expect you to attend the birthday banquet today.

Ye Lengans previous rejection had surprised him when he heard she was coming.

Nevertheless, it was a good sign that she was here. It showed she wasnt as cold-hearted as she seemed.

Wasnt the invitation sent by the Ye family? Ye Lengan spoke frankly, showing no guilt as if it were a trivial matter. Since you invited us, its only natural for our Huangfu family to come and offer our good wishes, right?

Her words made it clear that she was representing the Huangfu family today, and it had nothing to do with their previous persuasion attempts.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu understood her deliberate attempt to distance herself from them.

But they werent heartbroken. They knew it was rare enough for Ye Lengan to come today. As for the rest, they didnt want to push it and knew they couldnt force it.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced at the two and said coldly, Master Ye, shall we go in?
