Watching Huangfu Ruiling’s expression, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but laugh. She reached out, hooked her hand around his neck, and then twitched her nose before saying, “Are you jealous?”
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t feel the slightest embarrassment upon hearing her words. He even responded directly, “Yes, I’m. After all, you’re his lifesaver!”
Ye Leng’an couldn’t contain her laughter. She reached out, pinched his cheek, and said with a smile, “How long has it been? Why do you still keep remembering it?! If one didn’t know any better, they’d think you were Nangong Xuyao’s savior, and you’re holding a grudge because he never repaid you!”
“If I were his savior, I probably wouldn’t remember this matter.” Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Ye Leng’an beside him and said, “It’s because you saved his life that I’ve been brooding over it.”
Hearing that, Ye Leng’an felt convinced. She shook her head in amusement and continued, “I was just a little curious. Also, if you didn’t keep emphasizing the fact that I saved his life, I would have forgotten that I’m Nangong Xuyao’s savior.”
She didn’t take this matter to heart in the first place. Moreover, Nangong Xuyao had also used money to settle this life-saving debt. So, the karma between her and Nangong Xuyao had long been severed.
Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything else. He simply replied, “Nangong Xuyao’s methods aren’t bad, coupled with his shrewdness, he naturally gained the Zhongyu family’s approval.”
“That would be interesting.” Ye Leng’an blinked and said with a smile, “Master Zhongyu is an old fox who has lived for many years. How could he be swayed by Nangong Xuyao?”
She wouldn’t believe such words.
“Who knows!” Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, “Nangong Xuyao must have something on him that can attract Master Zhongyu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to Nangong Xuyao and Zhongyu Jiarui’s marriage. It’s just that it’s hard to say who will be using who and who will benefit from it.”
“Who knows!” Ye Leng’an relaxed her shoulders and continued, “But now, it seems that these two people are not easy to deal with! If you want to talk about stupidity, it should be Zhongyu Jiarui, who are stuck in the middle!”
At this point, she couldn’t help but sigh. “That’s why I said that it’s not good for girls to be too love-blinded.”
However, she also looked down on Nangong Xuyao. He was a man, but he had to rely on a woman to get to the top. If he really had the strength, shouldn’t he rely on himself?
Huangfu Ruiling laughed and shook his head. “Maybe he is enjoying it!”
Ye Leng’an shrugged her shoulders and did not comment.
“Well, it’s getting late.” Huangfu Ruiling got up and reached out to pull her up. “The food is all ready. Let’s go eat first!”
Soon, the two of them arrived at the dining room.
The hotel staff had all left. At this moment, the dining table was filled with delicious food. These delicacies were emitting steam, making people drool at the sight of them.
They quickly sat down and began to eat. Although there were only the two of them, they were chatting and laughing. The atmosphere did not seem cold at all.
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t eat much himself, but he had been serving Ye Leng’an, scooping soup, picking bones, and peeling prawns. It could be said that he took care of her meticulously.
Ye Leng’an did not feel uncomfortable at all and accepted Huangfu Ruiling’s service.
“By the way, let’s go back to the Hidden World on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!” Huangfu Ruiling put the peeled prawns into her bowl and said, “At that time, the Hidden World will hold a relatively important banquet. All the major families will send people to attend. Let’s go together!”
“Alright!” Ye Leng’an didn’t object. After thinking about it, she asked, “Then who will be the host of this banquet?”
It could be heard that the scale of this banquet was not small. Which family was the host?
“None.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head and said, “This banquet is held by the Enforcement Team. It’s held once a year. Firstly, it was to give the various large families a chance to get to know each other better. Secondly, if there’s anything important, we can take this opportunity to announce it.”
Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. “Then this year’s banquet will definitely talk about the evil cultivator!”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “I have already informed the major families about the matter of the evil cultivator. After returning, many families began to count the missing outer sect disciples of their families. They realized that there were indeed many who had disappeared for no reason. However, it won’t be so easy to investigate whether they were killed or because of some other reason.”
Ye Leng’an frowned and said, “There’s still no progress on the matter of the evil cultivator, right?”
After hearing her question, Huangfu Ruiling’s face became serious. He nodded. “That’s right. I don’t know if it’s because I heard some news, but the evil cultivator seems to be hiding now. There’s no trace of him at all. Although we found many traces of that evil cultivator in the mortal world, many years have passed, so there aren’t many useful clues left behind.”
Ye Leng’an sighed. “Looks like it won’t be easy to find this evil cultivator!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Huangfu Ruiling smiled and said, “It is now during the New Year. On such a happy day, don’t let these things disturb our atmosphere.”
After hearing that, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a smile. She then looked at Huangfu Ruiling and said, “Then what identity will you be attending? The head of the Huangfu family or the leader of the Enforcement Team!”
Now it seemed that her fiancé had many roles, and each of them was quite impressive.
Looking at her smiling face, a trace of gentleness flashed in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. “When the time comes, we will attend in the name of the Huangfu family.”
