Chapter 794: Dilemma

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The humiliation she endured at the auction, the agony of her dantian shattering, these pains were etched in Ye Wanwan’s heart. Given the chance, she wouldn’t let Ye Leng’an off the hook.

However, she wasn’t naive. Her current cultivation level was no match for Ye Leng’an’s, plus Ye Leng’an had Huangfu Ruiling backing her. She couldn’t touch Ye Leng’an at the moment. So, swallowing her pride was her only option.

Furthermore, she had to play nice with Ye Leng’an.

Knowing Ye Leng’an would never care for her flattery, she’d be the one to suffer in the end. If her adoptive parents witnessed it, they’d feel sorry for her.

Only by continuously enduring could she make her adoptive parents completely disillusioned with Ye Leng’an. Only then could she firmly secure her position as the Ye family’s young lady.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Wanwan composed herself and approached Ye Leng’an with a bright smile. “Sister, you’re here! Grandfather has been waiting for you for quite some time.”

Witnessing this scene, onlookers couldn’t help but speculate about the connection between Ye Leng’an and the Ye family.

Ye Yikun noticed Ye Wanwan’s actions but stayed silent. Perhaps Ye Wanwan’s actions had struck a chord with him.

Due to previous conflicts, he couldn’t bow down to Ye Leng’an now.

However, Ye Leng’an’s status was extraordinary as Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée. With the Huangfu family winning the Family Competition, they gained priority in mining the spirit stone mine for five years. The Huangfu family was already showing signs of becoming the top clan.

If Ye Leng’an returned to the Ye family now, it would benefit them greatly. However, repairing their relationship wasn’t easy. If Ye Wanwan extended an olive branch first, it’d be the best choice.

Unfortunately, reality didn’t align with Ye Yikun’s intentions.

“Sister?” Ye Leng’an’s lips curved slightly, a hint of disdain in her tone. “Who are you calling? I don’t recall having a sister! I didn’t even know who my parents were. How could I possibly have a sister?”

These casual words caused several people’s expressions to drastically change.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s faces turned pale.

Especially at the mention of her unknown parents, a hint of pain flickered in their eyes. They wanted to speak up as Ye Leng’an’s parents, but the situation prevented them from doing so.

Otherwise, Ye Wanwan would suffer greatly. Moreover, Murong Xingrui was present. If they couldn’t explain themselves and Wanwan’s engagement was affected, it would be disastrous.

Though Ye Leng’an was their daughter, Wanwan was also their daughter. They had to consider Wanwan’s feelings.

Ye Yikun’s expression darkened as he looked at Ye Leng’an, his gaze filled with coldness.

Indeed, even with the bloodline of the Ye family, not being raised within it made her unable to represent the family properly. When Ye Leng’an returned to the Ye family in the future, proper guidance would be necessary. Otherwise, it would only bring shame to the whole family.

Ye Wanwan’s smile became strained. She looked aggrieved but apologized to Ye Leng’an. “I’m sorry, Miss Ye. I just thought it would bring us closer. I didn’t mean any harm. Please forgive me.”

Her appeasing demeanor evoked sympathy.

It stood in stark contrast to Ye Leng’an’s aggressiveness.

Unable to bear seeing his fiancée wronged, Murong Xingrui stepped forward, facing Ye Leng’an with anger. “Miss Ye, Wanwan meant well. Why be so aggressive?”

Though unsure of the grudge between Ye Leng’an and Wanwan, Wanwan was his fiancée. Naturally, he had to defend her.

Moreover, Ye Leng’an was too rude. Wanwan had been kind, and there was nothing wrong with her actions. What right did Ye Leng’an have to say such things?

“What’s it to you?” Ye Leng’an glanced at Murong Xingrui, indifferent. “Can’t you see that Ye Wanwan herself has no issue? Do you need to intervene?”

“Wanwan is my fiancée. Her problems are mine,” Murong Xingrui asserted protectively. “Treating her this way, as her fiancé, I have every right to stand up for her.”

Understanding the situation, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered. Blinking, she continued, “So what if you’re her fiancé? Haven’t you seen it? She thinks she misspoke. What right do you have to call me aggressive? Since the principal party hasn’t spoken, others should refrain from meddling. Or…”

There was a wicked gleam in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she looked at Ye Wanwan. Smiling brightly, she suggested, “Ye Wanwan, why don’t you clarify if there was any issue with my attitude just now? Or would you like to explain our relationship to him?”

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s smile, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, what she said put her in a predicament.

Now, no matter her response, it seemed wrong. Supporting Murong Xingrui would prompt Ye Leng’an to reveal everything, jeopardizing her future in the Hidden World. Conversely, siding against Murong Xingrui would offend him, potentially straining their relationship.

Everyone awaited Ye Wanwan’s reply.

“Enough,” Ye Hongxuan interjected, standing up. “Today is Father’s birthday. Let’s just enjoy ourselves. As for other matters, let’s not dwell on them.”
