“Sister-in-law?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words. “l didn’t expect Aryan to already be thinking about marrying me in the future. It seems like you can’t wait!”
Hearing that, Ye Leng’an’s cheeks flushed, and she reached out, pinching a piece of soft flesh at Huangfu Ruilings waist. She executed a 180-degree turn and playfully asked, “Is that so? Can’t wait, huh? Are you happy?”
Ignoring the pain in his waist, Huangfu Ruiling gazed at Ye Lengan with a more serious expression than before, leaning in close to her ear with a magnetic, low voice, he said, “I’m very pleased.”
As she heard his deep voice, she felt her cheeks grow even warmer. Even without seeing her reflection, she knew her face was undoubtedly turning red.
“Let’s drop this topic,” Ye Lengan quickly changed the subject. “Why do you think Zhongyu Yiran can’t become Huangfu Ruixiangs wife? I think they make a good couple! Who knows, she might marry your brother soon.”
“That’s impossible,” Huangfu Ruiling asserted firmly. “My parents will never allow Huangfu Ruixiang to marry Zhongyu Yiran. Perhaps they could be lovers discreetly.”
“Zhongyu Yiran is quite capable.” Ye Lengan shook her head. “And, when it comes to marriage, the most critical factor is Huangfu Ruixiangs stance, isn’t it? If he’s determined, the outcome may be different.”
“Do you want a bet?” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan and proposed, “Let’s bet on whether Zhongyu Yiran can enter the Huangfu family.”
“Are you talking about a legitimate marriage?” Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow and inquired, “What’s the wager then?”
“If I win, you must agree to one request of mine.” Huangfu Ruilings eyes flashed with a touch of darkness as he continued, “Conversely, if you win, I’ll agree to one of your requests. Deal?”contemporary romance
“Deal!” Ye Lengan promptly accepted. However, she added a condition, “There’s one more condition. You can’t interfere or cheat.’
“Don’t worry, I won’t meddle,” Huangfu Ruiling assured her. “l won’t get too involved in their affairs. If they want to marry, I won’t object. If they don’t want to marry, I won’t force them.”
Ye Lengan nodded.
Soon, Li San returned with the movie tickets.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for the Huangfu familys Patriarch Handing Over Banquet. From early in the morning, those who received invitations had started preparing for the evenings event.
This wasn’t an ordinary banquet; it was the occasion when the Huangfu family would be changing its patriarch. Although the Huangfu family was one of the four major families, their power slightly exceeded the other three. It was widely known that most of the family’s authority had already shifted to the young master, Huangfu Ruiling. Officially, however, the family head was still
Huangfu Jingzhang.
But who would have expected that the Huangfu family would suddenly announce a change in leadership? This abrupt news took everyone by surprise, though it was an internal family matter that outsiders couldn’t pry into.
During this period, receiving an invitation from the Huangfu family became a point of pride for the upper echelons of the capital. Some even tried every means to secure an invitation.
By evening, nearly all invitees had arrived early. On such an important occasion, punctuality was a must.
Ye Lengan naturally attended the banquet, remaining by Huangfu Ruilings side without wandering around.
When others noticed Ye Leng’an’s presence, they were somewhat surprised. However, upon further thought, they realized it was nothing out of the ordinary. At a previous Nangong family’s banquet, many heard Huangfu Ruiling openly admit that Ye Lengan was his girlfriend. Thus, her attendance at this event was expected.
As one of the key figures, Huangfu Jingzhang naturally had to attend.
However, his complexion was far from pleasant; from start to finish, there was not a hint of a smile on his face, making it evident that he was currently harboring inner turmoil..
