Nangong Zilin, observing from the sidelines, wore a pensive expression as she witnessed the unfolding events. Simultaneously, she found it necessary to reassess Ye Leng’an’s standing within the Huangfu family.
Even though it was just a move by Butler Ford, it was sufficient evidence that, within the Huangfu family, Ye Leng’an’s status seemed to surpass that of Zhongyu Liuying.
Moreover, it was apparent that in Huangfu Ruilings heart, Ye Lengan held a significance greater than even his parents. If that were indeed the case, one could only wonder about Huangfu Ruixiangs position in the family. Despite Huangfu Ruixiangs talent in cultivation, the extent of his abilities remained uncertain.
Marriage to Huangfu Ruixiang – would it truly secure her status in the Nangong family? If not, she might have to reconsider her plans.
Zhongyu Liuyings thoughts seemed irrelevant. After Butler Ford received Ye Leng’an’s command, he promptly ushered in Li Yiran.
Upon entering, Li Yiran felt a tightness in her chest. Despite Huangfu Ruixiang often accompanying her recently, she believed she had already captured his heart. However, to her surprise, in such a short time, Huangfu Ruixiang brought his girlfriend to meet his parents.
Her hand gently caressed her abdomen as her heart settled. Taking a deep breath, she looked up, smiling at everyone.
“Why are you here at this moment?” Zhongyu Liuying addressed Li Yiran with a cold tone. “Didn’t Butler Ford inform you that we have an esteemed guest today?”
“Auntie, I came today with good news to share with you.” Li Yiran, seemingly oblivious to the situation in the living room, smiled happily. “Upon hearing this news, I immediately wanted to share it with Brother Ruixiang.”
Nangong Zilin’s eyes flashed with a sharp light at Li Yiran’s address. However, as she looked at Huangfu Ruixiang beside her, her expression turned puzzled, as if she didn’t understand the newcomer’s identity and her relationship with Huangfu Ruixiang.
“She’s a distant relative from my mother’s side. I usually take care of her.” Huangfu Ruixiangs forced smile conveyed. “Just a little sister. Probably something joyful happened today, prompting her to come and share the good news!”
“l see.” Nangong Zilin nodded, seemingly buying into Huangfu Ruixiangs explanation.
Huangfu Ruixiang turned to Li Yiran, a warning in his eyes. “Yiran, we have matters to attend to today. You should go back first. If there’s anything, we can discuss it later.’
“Brother Ruixiang, what’s happening?” Li Yiran, appearing completely perplexed, questioned, “Didn’t you say you love me the most? Why are you asking me to leave now?”
Hearing this, Nangong Zilin frowned. When she glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang again, her expression grew more unpleasant.
Observing this, Zhongyu Liuying immediately reprimanded, “Li Yiran, leave immediately. This is the Huangfu family, not a place for your impudence. Even if you like Ruixiang, you can’t speak recklessly here!”
“Exactly,” Huangfu Jingzhang added a warning, “Yiran, you’re not a child anymore. Think before you speak. Don’t cause trouble for others with your words. It’s not beneficial for you, is it?”
While speaking, he signaled to Butler Ford, as if instructing him to escort her out. However, Butler Ford, seemingly oblivious, remained motionless.
This infuriated Huangfu Jingzhang. If Nangong Zilin weren’t present, he would have erupted in anger.
Ye Lengan, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, was certain that Li Yiran was only pretending to be clueless. However, she didn’t anticipate that Li Yiran would choose a day like today to announce her good news, likely thwarting Zhongyu Liuying and the others’ schemes..
