“Humph!” Huangfu Jingzhang snorted but remained silent.
However, his snort served as a response. In reality, his earlier words were spoken in a moment of impulsiveness. Almost immediately after uttering them, he felt a sense of regret. Yet, his regret wasn’t about having those thoughts but rather expressing them out loud.
If, by any chance, Huangfu Ruiling heard his words, who knew what kind of trouble that troublemaker might stir up? He couldn’t afford any unnecessary turmoil at the moment.
As Huangfu Ruiling departed, the atmosphere in the living room didn’t lighten; instead, it grew even more somber.
On the other hand, the interaction between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan seemed notably relaxed and pleasant.
Following their exit from the ancestral home of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan found themselves in a restaurant for a meal.
After placing their order, Li San promptly left the private dining room, leaving Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan to their own devices.
“Ruiling, what do you think about Nangong Zilin?” Ye Lengan inquired directly, “Considering today’s events, do you think there’s still a chance between her and Huangfu Ruixiang?”
“It depends on whether she can find someone better than Huangfu Ruixiang,” Huangfu Ruiling bluntly replied. “Unless she secures a better match, today’s incident won’t have a lasting impact on her. Furthermore, from her perspective, this may even turn out advantageous. If she decides to marry in the future, it becomes a leverage against Huangfu Ruixiang.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan was left speechless. “It’s indeed a bizarre scenario. Having one’s future husband impregnate another woman before marriage somehow becomes an advantage.”
“That’s because their marriage was originally a union of convenience,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “However, whether Huangfu Ruixiang and
Nangong Zilin will succeed is still uncertain.”
Ye Lengan chuckled, covering her mouth. “l didn’t expect today to be such a spectacle! However, Li Yiran was too hasty; she turned her advantage into a disadvantage. She probably didn’t anticipate your father instructing her to abort the child!”
“Huangfu Ruixiang is still young. If he wants children, there are plenty of opportunities,” Huangfu Ruiling stated. “If Huangfu Ruixiang were already married, they might overlook the child in Li Yiran’s stomach and allow a smooth birth.’
“True, no one would complain about having too many grandchildren,” Ye Lengan agreed. “Li Yiran shouldn’t have caused such a scene on an occasion like today. Now, if that child wants to be born successfully, it might not be so straightforward.”
After expressing this, Ye Lengan sighed involuntarily.
Although Huangfu Ruiling had given the order to ensure the smooth birth of the child in Li Yiran’s belly, there was still a significant duration until the child’s birth – ample time for various actions. The world was full of unexpected events. Moreover, if an accident did occur, no one else could be blamed.
Ye Leng’an held no sympathy or goodwill towards Li Yiran. Her only sentiment was a mild regret for the child.
“That was her own choice. Didn’t she aim to manipulate Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage with this child?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow, smiling teasingly at Ye Lengan. “What’s this? Worried about losing the bet?”
“Not at all!” Ye Lengan pursed her lips, responding with a hint of indignation,
“I’ve finally come to understand. I probably will lose this bet.”
“It’s unlike you to admit defeat so easily!” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow, playfully remarking, “Now that Huangfu Ruixiang isn’t married yet, everything is still possible, isn’t it?”
“I’ve finally grasped it.” Ye Lengan rolled her eyes. “Huangfu Ruixiang obviously doesn’t harbor deep feelings for Li Yiran. Therefore, no matter what, he won’t marry her.”
This apparent fact might be clear to everyone except Li Yiran, or perhaps, she had already realized it but was unwilling to admit it..
