Chapter 892: No Divorce
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an had only stayed in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family for two or three days before receiving news from the mortal world.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, looking at Huangfu Ruiling who sat opposite her. Curiosity tinged her tone as she asked, “Did something happen in the mortal world?”
Although Huangfu Ruiling’s expression remained unchanged, she could still sense an abnormal undercurrent in his voice – one that only emerged after receiving the news from the mortal world. This indicated something must have occurred there.
He raised his head, his demeanor calm as he simply stated a fact. “Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating have decided not to divorce.”
“What?” The calm on Ye Leng’an’s face shattered as she widened her eyes, her expression carrying a trace of disbelief. “I didn’t expect Huangfu Ruixiang to make such a decision. But don’t your parents object at all?”
If Huangfu Ruixiang chose not to divorce solely because of the child in Zhong Yating’s womb, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were not the type to compromise for a grandchild’s sake. Otherwise, Li Yiran would have become Huangfu Ruixiang’s official wife long ago by relying on her child for status, leaving no room for Zhong Yating.
Huangfu Ruiling shook his head and continued to explain, “Zhong Yating had a miscarriage to save Huangfu Jingzhang’s life. Moreover, this incident caused her to lose the ability to bear children. Therefore, Huangfu Ruixiang cannot divorce Zhong Yating at this juncture.”
“What?” Ye Leng’an sucked in a breath of cold air, her tone filled with shock. “Zhong Yating is truly ruthless to herself! She was even willing to sacrifice the child in her womb, all to cling to her position as Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife. She’s really something!”
Indeed, Ye Leng’an had never thought such coincidences existed in this world. On one hand, Huangfu Ruixiang wanted a divorce; on the other, Zhong Yating now had a miscarriage to save Huangfu Jingzhang. No matter how she looked at it, Zhong Yating’s scheming undoubtedly played a part.
“Regardless of how this came about, the reality is that Huangfu Ruixiang can no longer divorce Zhong Yating,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “As for the rest, it has nothing to do with us, so we needn’t concern ourselves with it.”
Ye Leng’an nodded seriously. “However, is it true that she lost her ability to be a mother?”
“It is indeed true.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “The doctor who diagnosed her belongs to the Huangfu family. Zhong Yating had only recently married into the family and held no real power, so bribing the doctor was impossible. Her infertility is a fact. However, whether the physicians in the Hidden World can cure it remains unknown.”
Ye Leng’an shook her head, feeling a tinge of regret. “Zhong Yating probably went overboard! She likely didn’t expect such an outcome herself!”
The miscarriage might have been part of Zhong Yating’s scheme, but such severe consequences were likely beyond her expectations.
“No matter what, it was her own choice.” Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently. “Moreover, Huangfu Ruixiang can only have her as his wife from now on. Perhaps that alone is enough compensation for her.”
“True.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “In this lifetime, Huangfu Ruixiang can never rid himself of Zhong Yating. The most disappointed person right now is definitely Li Yiran.”
Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.
As for Ye Leng’an, she treated it like mere gossip and did not comment further. After all, this matter had little relation to her.
At this moment, although the Huangfu family’s ancestral mansion in the mortal world had regained its calm, it remained a sleepless night within its walls. No matter who it was inside the old residence, their moods were foul.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying felt extremely complicated emotions, especially Huangfu Jingzhang.
Previously, Zhong Yating’s supposed rescue had been fake, but this time around, it was an indisputable truth. Especially now that Zhong Yating ended up in such a state, it became even more impossible for Huangfu Ruixiang to divorce her.
Zhongyu Liuying’s mood was similarly poor. At this moment, she felt vexed. Why hadn’t they pushed for Huangfu Ruixiang’s divorce from Zhong Yating earlier? Why did they have to drag it out until now?
Otherwise, even if something happened to Zhong Yating now, they would have other means to compensate her rather than trapping Ruixiang in a marriage he could never escape.
The couple lay on the bed, neither speaking nor sleeping.
Huangfu Ruixiang’s feelings were even more complicated. He did not know what he felt at this point, only that after such an incident, Zhong Yating could be his only wife going forward.
Thinking of this made him feel utterly conflicted, for he had planned to take a wife of equal status after divorcing. Now, all those plans dissipated into nothing.
At this time, Zhong Yating remained unconscious, unaware that she had lost her ability to bear children.
If one were to ask who felt the most aggrieved, it would undoubtedly be Li Yiran.
She never expected Zhong Yating to have a chance at turning the tables like this and through such drastic means no less. Now, Huangfu Ruixiang’s divorce had become an impossibility.
A sense of loss washed over her. She had done so much, yet it all amounted to nothing in the end. It was not that she never suspected this entire incident to be Zhong Yating’s self-orchestrated ploy.
But now, she could not find a single shred of evidence.
Did this mean she had to watch helplessly as Zhong Yating firmly occupied the position of Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife? Would she forever remain a lover who could not see the light, constantly suppressed under Zhong Yating’s heel?
Especially now that Zhong Yating was Huangfu Jingzhang’s lifesaver, would she not grow even more arrogant within the Huangfu family? What status would Li Yiran herself have left?
The thought almost suffocated her.
However, the sole consolation was that Zhong Yating lost her ability to be a mother. Because of this, her own son’s status should become even more secure.
At the very least, before Huangfu Ruixiang took any other lovers, this was his one and only son.
