Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the car, Li San sat in the front, driving, while Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan were in the back seat. The vehicle was heading towards the direction of the Huangfu family’s ancestral mansion.

“Huangfu Ruixiang moves quite fast!” Ye Lengan couldn’t help but sigh. “He went to the Hidden World for the Family Competition, and now he’s brought back a fiancée.’

Initially, Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of returning, but Zhongyu Liuying mentioned that Huangfu Ruixiang was bringing back a fiancée, so she insisted that Huangfu Ruiling should go back. Ye Lengan was intrigued, so Huangfu Ruiling decided to take her back to the old mansion.

“He seems too idle!” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “That’s why he had the time to find a fiancée in the Hidden World.’

“l wonder if Li Yiran knows about this,” Ye Lengan teased. “If she finds out, who knows what kind of trouble she’ll stir up!!

“She won’t cause any trouble,” Huangfu Ruiling asserted. “Although she’s officially taking care of her pregnancy, she’s practically under house arrest. Second Auntie won’t let her have the chance to find out. After all, she also wants Li Yiran’s child to be born. So, she won’t let Li Yiran be subjected to any stimulation.’

Understanding, Ye Lengan said, “She’s probably doing this to go against your mother! Your mother probably doesn’t want Li Yiran’s child to be born, as it would affect Huangfu Ruixiangs search for a wife.”

“Li Yiran’s child will be born safely,” Huangfu Ruiling stated matter-of-factly.

“As for Huangfu Ruixiangs choice of a wife, that depends on his own abilities.”

While they conversed, the car arrived at the main building of the ancestral mansion. Li San promptly got out of the car and opened the door for them.

In the main residence, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying sat on one side, while Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating sat on the other. Everyone was chatting happily, but the sincerity of their interactions remained uncertain.

Huangfu Jingzhang had a low opinion of Zhong Yating, despite her also being from the Hidden World. She was just an outer sect disciple of the Huangfu family, hailing from a remote village. Now that Ruixiang was an inner sect disciple, how could Zhong Yating be considered a suitable match?

However, since Ruixiang had said it was a temporary arrangement, he didn’t mind dealing with this seemingly inexperienced young lady.

Whether it was Huangfu Jingzhang or Zhongyu Liuying, though unable to cultivate, their past roles as patriarch and matriarch of the Huangfu family allowed them to disguise themselves effectively. Zhong Yating, despite her scheming nature as an outer sect disciple, spent most of her time practicing and lacked much involvement in intrigue. Therefore, she couldn’t see through Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuyings facade, believing them to be friendly and accepting her as a daughter-in-law.

This led to a seemingly pleasant conversation between the two sides.

As they spoke, Li San pushed Huangfu Ruiling inside, with Ye Lengan alongside.

Upon entering, the room fell silent, and all eyes were on the three newcomers. The atmosphere tensed up.

Huangfu Ruixiang was the first to break the silence. He stood up with a smile, greeting, “Brother, you’re back!”

Ye Lengan gestured for Li San to step aside, pushing Huangfu Ruiling towards the sofa.

Li San bowed and retreated, standing on the side, ready for any instructions.

Ye Lengan pushed Huangfu Ruiling to the sofa, sat beside him, and said with a smile, “Continue chatting! Don’t mind us.”

After Ye Lengan!s words, a hint of awkwardness flashed across everyone’s faces.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, upon seeing Ye Lengan, subtly furrowed their brows. Although they anticipated Huangfu Ruiling might return with Ye Lengan, her actual appearance still made them uneasy.

However, having witnessed Huangfu Ruilings ruthlessness, they refrained from provoking her. Whether sincere or not, they managed to force a smile at Ye Leng’an.

Huangfu Ruixiang seated himself beside Zhong Yating again and introduced her, “Brother, Miss Ye, this is my fiancée, Zhong Yating. Yating, this is my brother, and this is his girlfriend, Miss Ye.”

Zhong Yating shyly smiled, nodding and greeting, “Hello, Brother. Hello, Miss Ye.”

“Hello!” Ye Lengan looked at Zhong Yating with interest and said, “l really didn’t expect Ruixiang to bring back a girlfriend at this time! ”

Zhong Yating lowered her head, appearing shy.

However, she felt a bit guilty at this moment, especially when she saw Huangfu Ruiling. She dared not even glance in Huangfu Ruiling’s direction, fearing that something might be amiss.

Before, she could manipulate Huangfu Ruixiang with her own methods. But seeing Huangfu Ruiling made her question her actions. Would dealing with

Huangfu Ruixiang with information about Huangfu Ruiling offend the latter?

However, she couldn’t backtrack at this point. She definitely couldn’t let Huangfu Ruiling know the intricacies of the situation. Otherwise, she might not even retain her status as an outer sect disciple, let alone become an inner sect disciple.

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Zhongyu Liuyings eyes flickered with a hint of shadow. She smiled and said, “Today, I called you back mainly to discuss Ruixiangs engagement. Since Ruixiang hasn’t been back for long, let’s settle the engagement ceremony during this time.”

Zhong Yatings eyes lit up, but she didn’t say anything.

Although Huangfu Ruixiang was unwilling, he pretended to be happy and said with a smile, “That’s right! We don’t need anything grand, just a simple ceremony. After the ceremony, we’ll need to return as soon as possible. We can’t stay away for too long this time..”
