Sitting together at the same table, Nangong Xiyu smiled and remarked, “Oh, Ruiling and Leng’an’s relationship is really good! Looks like your wedding is coming soon!”
Upon hearing that, Huangfu Ruiling’s expression softened. He even responded, “It depends on An’an.”
Huangfu Ruiling’s response surprised everyone at the main table. Even Nangong Xiyu, who had spoken first, did not expect this.
Her initial intention in speaking was merely to establish a good relationship with Huangfu Ruiling. With Huangfu Ruiling now in charge of the Huangfu family, she naturally didn’t expect her son and husband to contest for power. After all, Huangfu Jingxian and Huangfu Ruihang lacked such capability.
However, with Huangfu Jingxian and Huangfu Ruihang now working at Huangye Group, she naturally hoped they would have more opportunities for advancement. This inevitably required support from Huangfu Ruiling’s side.
Thus, she spoke up. She didn’t expect Huangfu Ruiling to actually respond, which left her pleasantly surprised.
For a moment, Nangong Xiyu didn’t know how to respond.
Ye Leng’an smiled and spoke without embarrassment, “There’s no rush. I’m still in university!”
“Even university students can get married now.” Taking Ye Leng’an’s cue, Nangong Xiyu immediately seized the opportunity to continue, “Your relationship with Ruiling is good, so it’s okay to get married early. However, speaking of which, both Ruiling and Ruixiang are already in relationships. Ruixiang got married today, and as for our Ruihang, we still don’t know where his girlfriend is!”
Nangong Xiyu naturally took advantage of this opportunity to continue the conversation, and Ye Leng’an joined in.
She wasn’t blind; she could see how important Ye Leng’an was to Huangfu Ruiling. Flattering Ye Leng’an was definitely more effective than pleasing Huangfu Ruiling. Last time, she was able to smoothly obtain half of the domestic power because of Ye Leng’an.
Under Nangong Xiyu’s deliberate guidance, Ye Leng’an started chatting with her.
She was aware of Nangong Xiyu’s intentions, but such thoughts were only natural, and she didn’t find them offensive. Moreover, now that Nangong Xiyu had already expressed goodwill, there was no need for her to reject it.
Although Nangong Xiyu and Ye Leng’an weren’t engaged in lively conversation, they were getting along well. Compared to Zhongyu Liuying, Nangong Xiyu seemed more like a mother-in-law.
Seeing this, Zhongyu Liuying’s face turned green with envy. However, she couldn’t lower herself to please Ye Leng’an.
Huangfu Jingzhang, on the other hand, looked dissatisfied as he watched Ye Leng’an. In his opinion, since Ye Leng’an was their future daughter-in-law, even if she didn’t curry favor with them, she shouldn’t be so close to the second branch.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn’t dare to say anything, fearing retaliation from Huangfu Ruiling. After all, that brat was ruthless to his own kin.
Soon, it was time for the ceremony. Huangfu Ruixiang had already taken the stage, waiting for Zhong Yating to enter.
Although this wedding was simple, it still included the necessary rituals. At the very least, there was no shortage of stage emcees and hosts.
As the music played, Zhong Yating slowly made her entrance from outside.
At this moment, Zhong Yating, like all brides, wore a white wedding dress, held a bouquet of flowers, and had a happy smile on her face. Undoubtedly, she felt truly happy at this moment.
Ye Leng’an, seated below the stage, watched everything on the stage with a cold gaze. Despite the apparent tranquility, this was like the calm before a storm, ready to be shattered at any moment. And once it broke, there would be a tempest.
Otherwise, Zhongyu Liuying wouldn’t have arranged such a stage. Despite the simplicity of the wedding, there were still many ceremonies. She couldn’t believe there was no ulterior motive.
The ceremony proceeded smoothly. However, because Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying did not approve of the union, there was no segment for the parents to speak.
As for Zhong Yating, she hailed from a remote corner of the Hidden World. She had never liked that place, nor her parents who only held her back. Therefore, since becoming an outer sect disciple of the Hidden World’s Huangfu family, she had never returned, nor had she contacted her parents.
So, whether for the engagement or the wedding, she hadn’t informed her parents. She felt they weren’t respectable enough to be present, and their attendance would only bring her embarrassment. Besides, she had always claimed to be an orphan.
Just as Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating exchanged rings, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the air, capturing everyone’s attention.
“Wait a moment!”
With this sharp voice, a woman carrying a baby in swaddling clothes entered from outside.
Though slightly plump, the woman’s appearance was unaffected, exuding beauty.
However, everyone recognized her. She was none other than Li Yiran.
Many in the Huangfu family knew of Li Yiran. However, most knew her as someone who once bore the surname Zhongyu. It was rumored she had offended Zhongyu Liuying, leading to her loss of the Zhongyu surname and reverting to her previous surname, Li.
After that, she was seldom seen. Who would have expected her to appear at Huangfu Ruixiang’s wedding, carrying a child and seemingly ready to cause trouble?
This unexpected turn of events immediately caught everyone’s attention, prompting them to pay close attention to what would unfold.
Those at the main table were well aware of Li Yiran’s situation and her child.
Seeing Li Yiran appear with the child, the second branch of the Huangfu family was taken aback. Clearly, this was completely unexpected.
On the contrary, when Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying saw Li Yiran, they exchanged glances and glimpsed a hint of joy in each other’s eyes.
