No matter how everyone felt, at the command of Huangfu Ruiling, the engagement ceremony for Huangfu Ruixiang took place with great splendor the following evening.
On the rooftop of the Huangting Hotel, representatives from various prominent families attended, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere with colorful lights and clinking glasses.
Though Huangfu Ruixiang wore a smile, he harbored inner frustration. Regardless of his thoughts, the die was cast, and the engagement ceremony had to proceed. He was well aware that the ceremony must be carried out successfully.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were also in low spirits, especially when inquiries about Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement partner circulated. The forced smiles on their faces were evident.
The sole person genuinely delighted was Zhong Yating. Having invested significant effort to marry Huangfu Ruixiang, she viewed the banquet as the gateway to a new world.
Despite her previous existence in the Hidden World, Zhong Yating hailed from a remote mountain village and had never experienced such grandeur. The lavish banquet hall, exquisite delicacies, and luxurious attire provided a stark contrast to her previously simple life. The realization struck her that, even without becoming an inner sect disciple of the Huangfu family in the Hidden World, marrying Huangfu Ruixiang and enjoying a lavish life in the mortal world could be a preferable choice.
She found herself reluctant to return to the Hidden World, rejecting the monotonous routine of cultivation.
In a corner, Huangfu Ruiling sat in a wheelchair, accompanied by Ye Lengan, who held a glass of fruit juice. Despite their inconspicuous location, the radiance surrounding them drew attention.
However, Huangfu Ruiling was clearly seeking tranquility, and despite the temptation felt by many, they hesitated to approach. They feared that attempting to establish connections might lead to offense, making it a truly unwarranted risk.
Observing Zhong Yatings altered demeanor, Ye Lengan remarked, “Zhong Yatings eyes have changed. Previously, there was a calculating look, but now, a hint of greed has emerged.”
Perhaps it was because she had never witnessed such prosperity before; hence, now she couldn’t resist the allure, giving in to her true desires.
After casting a fleeting glance in that direction, Huangfu Ruiling immediately retracted his gaze. He showed no interest in the matter and instead spoke, “Once this engagement ceremony concludes, we should start arranging our own engagement ceremony and put it on the schedule.”
Ye Lengan, rolling her eyes, retorted, “Do you have the audacity to say that? Yesterday at the ancestral mansion, you proposed engagement without consulting me, nearly giving me a shock.”
“We already discussed this on our way back,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, raising an eyebrow. “I thought we had reached a consensus.”
Ye Lengan continued, “We talked about it being after graduation. The college entrance exam hasn’t even happened yet! Moreover, if I recall correctly, you haven’t proposed. I mentioned that, too!”
Huangfu Ruiling smiled, choosing not to elaborate.
Switching the topic, Ye Lengan remarked, “After today, Huangfu Ruixiangs life will undoubtedly be exciting. With Li Yiran about to give birth and his fiancée Zhong Yating, neither will be easy to deal with!”
Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Ye Lengan, without insisting on a response, continued, “By the way, Ling, has anything happened in the Hidden World recently?”
Having returned for several days, they were unsure if there were developments in the Ye family. Was Ye Wanwan really maintaining such composure?
After a brief pause, Huangfu Ruiling revealed, “Something significant did occur. Master Murong visited the Ye family.”
“Master Murong?” Ye Lengan asked, surprised. “You mean…”
“He went to discuss the marriage between Murong Xingrui and Ye Wanwan,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “During the Family Competition, Master Murong hinted at their intention to form a marriage alliance with the Ye family. I believe, at that time, both families had reached a certain understanding.”
Otherwise, that old fox, Master Murong, wouldn’t have recklessly come to the door. Since he came, it indicated that he was confident the Ye family would definitely agree. Therefore, the two families must have had a tacit understanding.
“Marriage?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes widened in shock. “Isn’t it said that one should marry a virtuous woman? With such a big event happening in the Family Competition, even if Ye Wanwan’s reputation wasn’t ruined, it shouldn’t be any better! The Murong family is really magnanimous to come to discuss the marriage at this time!”
Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “The magnanimous one is not Master Murong, but Murong Xingrui. He has always liked Ye Wanwan. This incident was not enough to dispel his love for Ye Wanwan. Now that he has the chance to win over the beauty, he won’t give up.”
“Oh!” As if she had heard a big gossip, Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling with a mocking expression and said with a smile, “You know quite well! I didn’t expect you to be interested in such things!’
No matter how she looked at it, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t seem like a gossipy person! How did he know about this?
Huangfu Ruiling was left speechless. “What are you talking about? This is what the Enforcement Team found out.” If it wasn’t because it was related to Ye Lengan, he really wouldn’t have cared at all..
