After Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan left, they didn’t return to the Huangfu family but headed to the outskirts for a walk.
Looking at the splendid scenery, Ye Lengan felt considerably better. She turned to Huangfu Ruiling beside her, smiling, “What’s this? Worried I might be upset, so you took me out for some fresh air?”
Back at the square, she noticed Huangfu Ruiling’s concern. As expected, after leaving, he brought her to the outskirts.
“l did want to take you out for some fun.” Huangfu Ruiling smiled, eyes affectionate. “Now that the Family Competition is over, and we might leave the Hidden World soon, it’s a good opportunity to enjoy ourselves, isn’t it?”
“I thought you were afraid I’d be sad, so you brought me out!” Ye Lengan teased, smiling. “Looks like I misjudged!’
“So, are you happy now that we’re out?” Huangfu Ruiling looked at her. “Can this help you forget things you shouldn’t dwell on?”
Ye Lengan easily deciphered Huangfu Ruilings implications. She chuckled and said, “Ling, you’re overthinking. Honestly, I don’t have any emotional attachment to my biological parents. Although there might be a slight twinge of regret when I see them being so good to Ye Wanwan, it’s merely a manifestation of wounded pride, nothing more!”
“They just don’t know you’re their biological daughter.” Huangfu Ruiling, after pondering, said, “Besides, they didn’t seem to take your hints seriously.”
“Whatever,” Ye Lengan replied nonchalantly, “I’ve dropped enough hints. If they choose not to investigate, that’s their decision.”
She couldn’t outright tell Ye Hongxuan that she was their biological daughter.
Even if they believed her, their feelings for Ye Wanwan wouldn’t disappear. She also disdained begging for such familial bonds.
In her first life, she learned that forced relationships might not be genuine and could even be a backstabbing knife.
Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “So, you’re not upset watching Ye
Wanwan continuously take your place?”
“So what?” Ye Lengan shrugged, a sarcastic smile forming. “All of this was tacitly approved by Ye Hongxuan and the others, wasn’t it? I don’t believe they weren’t suspicious after what I said this afternoon. If they’re willing to be kept in the dark after growing suspicious, what can I do?”
Even if she revealed everything, could Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu really give up their longstanding relationship with Ye Wanwan? Ultimately, she and Ye Wanwan would coexist in the Ye family. In the past, she had to vie with Ye
Xiyuan for her parents’ love. Was she going to compete with Ye Wanwan again This kind of life wasn’t for her, and she disdained such actions. Therefore, she decided to go with the flow.
Huangfu Ruiling nodded and suggested, “After you go back, you’ll soon be taking the college entrance examination. After that, we can get engaged. How about that?”
Although he appeared calm, he was anxious inside, worried Ye Lengan might refuse, given her age.
“Okay!” Ye Lengan replied casually. However, she paused, looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and narrowed her eyes, saying, “If I remember correctly, you haven’t proposed yet, right?”
Although she didn’t care much about superficial things, she was still a girl and wanted a bit of ceremony.
Hearing that, Huangfu Ruiling hesitated for a moment. Then, a smile played on his lips. He leaned in, whispered into Ye Lengan’s ear, and said,
“Everything will happen. As for the engagement, it will take place as planned..”
