Chapter 643: A Change in Situation 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Ye Wanwan was momentarily taken aback.

Was this a case of wishing for something and having it happen? Just a moment ago, she was pondering if there was a way to expedite the settling of her marriage with the Murong family, and now her father had raised the matter.

Observing Ye Wanwan’s continued lack of response, appearing rather dazed, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows. “Wanwan, are you unwilling? If you genuinely don’t like Murong Xingrui, we can forget about

When Murong Jingming brought it up previously, he clearly saw that Wanwan had intentions. That was why he asked in this way. Unexpectedly, now that he brought it up, Wanwan showed no response at all. Could it be that he guessed wrong before, and Wanwan was simply too embarrassed to reject Murong Jingming?

If Wanwan truly objected, he wouldn’t force her. Although a marital alliance with Murong Xingrui would benefit both families, it was still a significant life event, with Wanwan’s opinion being paramount.

Wanwan was his only daughter, and naturally, he wished for her future life to be happy. This was precisely why, in the face of Wanwan’s persuasion and pestering, he had yielded on the matter of Huangfu Ruiling. He knew well that Wanwan herself would be the one living her life in the future. Happiness could only be attained if she willingly embraced it.

“No, Father, I’m not unwilling,” Ye Wanwan hastily replied. However, she soon noticed her response seemed overly eager. Swiftly, she adopted a pretense of shyness, even infusing her tone with a touch of coyness. “Father, this matter is entirely at your discretion.”

Observing Ye Wanwan’s demeanor, Ye Hongxuan understood everything.

He smiled and said, “Since it’s at my discretion, after the Family Competition, I’ll make time to sit down with Murong Jingming and thoroughly discuss your matters. Although the wedding is still a long way off, the engagement can be settled first.’

Lian Mengzhu also nodded. “I’ve met Murong Xingrui a few times. He’s handsome and talented, nurtured as the family’s next heir.”

Other family heads had been eyeing Murong Xingrui for quite some time.

Murong Jingmings sudden mention of this matter during the Family Competition caught them off guard. However, their Wanwan was exceptional, making her a suitable match for Murong Xingrui.

Time swiftly passed, and it was nearly afternoon.

The various families took their seats to watch the final competition, the decisive moment to determine the victor.

Although only the Huangfu family and the Ye family could compete for the limited mining rights of the spirit stone mine, spectators from other families maintained their composure, intending to watch the last competition.

Naturally, they were curious to know which family would emerge victorious.

On the dueling platform, Huangfu Changmao and Ye Wanwan stood facing each other.

However, keen observers could discern the stark difference in their conditions.

Huangfu Changmao was vibrant, with bright eyes and a rosy complexion, clearly in excellent shape. Indeed, he had already recovered from a slight injury sustained in the mornings competition due to the effects of medicinal pills.

In contrast, Ye Wanwan’s complexion was pallid, lacking any trace of color. Despite standing upright, she exuded a frail aura, as if she could collapse at any moment. Such a situation called for proper rest rather than continuing with the competition.

Below the stage, the Huangfu family and the Ye family occupied adjacent positions.

Seeing Ye Wanwan in this state, Murong Jingming couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He looked at Ye Hongxuan and said, “Brother Ye, I don’t think Wanwan’s condition is good. Under such circumstances, wouldn’t it be better for her to withdraw from the competition?”

Previously, it was evident that Ye Hongxuan doted on his daughter, Ye Wanwan.. However, if he genuinely cared for her, why would he allow her to persist in the competition under such circumstances? Wasn’t this jeopardizing her health?
