“Ah, you guys are such killjoys.” Zhu Bixuan pouted, feeling a bit disappointed. “School starts tomorrow, and I was hoping to have a good gathering with everyone in the dorm. But it seems none of you are interested. What a letdown!”
“The dorm isn’t fully occupied yet. Let’s wait until everyone’s here before planning anything,” Ye Leng’an said with a faint smile. “I’ll head out first.”
With that, she slung her small bag over her shoulder and left the dormitory.
Exiting the school premises, Ye Leng’an spotted a car waiting by the gate and got in without delay.
Soon, she found herself in a private room at a high-end restaurant.
Upon entering, she saw Huangfu Ruiling already waiting there, seemingly unperturbed despite the wait.
Seeing Ye Leng’an enter, Huangfu Ruiling’s icy demeanor melted into a warm smile. “Here you are!”
Ye Leng’an went straight to Huangfu Ruiling’s side, declining his offer to pull out a chair for her. She seated herself and remarked, “You’ve been here a while, haven’t you?”
“Just arrived,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, pouring her a cup of tea. “So, how was your day? First day at school and all.”
“Not bad.” Ye Leng’an accepted the tea and took a sip before responding cheerfully. “The campus is spacious, and my roommates seem nice. Looking forward to the next few years here.”
Relieved by her words, Huangfu Ruiling asked, “Have you informed the school that you won’t be staying in the dorm?”
“Not yet!” Ye Leng’an retorted, giving him a playful glare. “I only registered today, classes haven’t even started! Let’s wait until then. But starting tomorrow, we’ll have a week-long military training.”
Nodding, Huangfu Ruiling then remembered something. “The day after tomorrow is Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating’s wedding. Are you attending?”
“Of course.” Ye Leng’an’s face lit up with interest. “I wouldn’t miss such a fun event!”
Zhongyu Liuying had informed Li Yiran about Huangfu Ruixiang’s wedding, and Li Yiran certainly wouldn’t just sit idly by. So when the wedding came the day after tomorrow, Li Yiran was bound to do something. She still wanted to go and witness the excitement for herself.
With Ye Leng’an’s response, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled softly. “Alright, I’ll pick you up from school that day.”
Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement.
“Let’s eat!” Huangfu Ruiling served Ye Leng’an a bowl of soup and urged, “Once done, head back to school early!”
With school starting the next day, Ye Leng’an would be staying overnight. Reluctantly, Huangfu Ruiling would have to ensure she got back safely.
As she began to eat, Huangfu Ruiling attended to her every need, almost to the point of feeding her.
If anyone else saw Huangfu Ruiling in this state, they’d be shocked! Who would have thought the esteemed head of the Huangfu family would serve his fiancée like a servant?
But for Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, this dynamic was natural. Like any other couple, their interaction was unique, and as long as both were comfortable, it worked.
Clearly, this was the ideal dynamic for them.
Just as they were finishing their meal, there was a knock on the door.
Frowning, Huangfu Ruiling allowed the person to enter.
It was Li San. He whispered something to Huangfu Ruiling before leaving at his signal.
“What’s going on?” Ye Leng’an, noticing Huangfu Ruiling’s odd expression, asked curiously. “Is it related to me?”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Yes, it is. Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu have come to the mortal world.”
“What?” Ye Leng’an almost choked on her tea. Setting down her cup, she frowned. “What are they doing here? Are they specifically looking for me?”
She didn’t think highly of herself, believing she held such significance in Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s hearts. If she did, they wouldn’t have lingered with Ye Wanwan.
Seeing Ye Leng’an’s reaction, Huangfu Ruiling nodded solemnly. “Indeed, they’ve come for you.”
“What do they want?” Ye Leng’an’s expression soured. “Weren’t we supposed to stay out of each other’s business? Why the sudden interest?”
Her mood had taken a nosedive upon hearing this news.
She harbored no affection for her so-called parents; she simply wished them well. Furthermore, didn’t Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu have another daughter, Ye Wanwan? Why fixate on her?
“Don’t dwell on it.” Huangfu Ruiling peeled a shrimp and offered it to Ye Leng’an. “Let them do as they please. You just ignore them. Besides, you’re living on campus now; it won’t be easy for them to find you.”
“That’s right!” Ye Leng’an tapped her own head. “I guess I got a bit ahead of myself. As long as they can’t locate me, they’ll likely return to the Hidden World soon.”
“However,” she continued, “aren’t people from the Hidden World prohibited from freely visiting the mortal world?”
