Chapter 732: He Knows When to Yield
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s dissatisfaction, Ye Leng’an found it amusing but still tried to reassure him. “All my attention is on you; you shouldn’t misunderstand me!”
After scanning the surroundings, Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng’an’s hand. “Let’s go outside for a stroll! There are too many people here.”
Coincidentally, Ye Leng’an didn’t want to linger in this place either, so she followed Huangfu Ruiling and left the banquet scene.
Many people noticed the couple leaving, but everyone tactfully ignored it. Though they were the protagonists, this was their territory, and people refrained from commenting on their choices.
Seeing this, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu immediately wanted to follow suit, hoping to have a conversation with Ye Leng’an away from the crowd. Despite expecting no kind words from her, they still wanted to spend some time with her.
However, as they took a few steps forward, they were intercepted by the Grand Elder, Huangfu Changmao.
“Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, my apologies for not greeting you properly. Are you leaving?” Though Huangfu Changmao didn’t know the specifics of the grievances between them, he could sense the Master’s disdain for the Ye family. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have omitted invitations to them for this engagement ceremony.
Now that it seemed the family head wanted some private time with Miss Ye, Huangfu Changmao naturally couldn’t allow others to disturb them.
After being stopped, Ye Hongxuan’s expression turned sour, but in the Huangfu family’s domain, he couldn’t afford to lose his temper. Suppressing his anger, he spoke, “Grand Elder, we, as a couple, find it rather dull here. We’d like to go out and get some fresh air. Is that permissible?”
“Of course, it’s allowed.” Huangfu Changmao smiled and summoned a servant. Instructing the servant, he said, “Master Ye and Mrs. Ye wish to go for a walk. Lead the way and attend to them.”
Before Ye Hongxuan could voice any objections, Huangfu Changmao turned to him, smiling. “Master Ye, please! I hope you have an enjoyable time.”
Instantly, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t utter a word of refusal. He reluctantly followed the disciple’s lead and commenced a tour of the garden outside.
Until the banquet’s end, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu never had a chance to see Ye Leng’an again.
Ye Leng’an remained oblivious to the happenings. She and Huangfu Ruiling had already arrived at the garden outside.
Though it was dark, the garden was adorned with small white lamps, casting a brightness akin to daylight.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, like any regular couple, strolled hand in hand, fingers intertwined.
“The air here is better.” Ye Leng’an took a deep breath, smiling. “It was too noisy inside; it’s more comfortable and peaceful here.”
“You don’t enjoy this kind of occasion?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “If you dislike it in the future, just say so; there’s no need to endure.”
“It’s not that I dislike it.” Ye Leng’an smiled, shaking her head. “I just feel there are too many people, and I don’t want to engage in socializing. Being here, strolling with you feels more comfortable.”
Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but smile upon hearing her express her liking for being with him.
His already perfect face now appeared so handsome that he seemed unreal. If there were other girls present, they would undoubtedly be captivated.
Despite spending day and night together and being accustomed to Huangfu Ruiling’s face, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her heart at this moment. Her gaze, which had become familiar with his face, now held a hint of enchantment.
Observing her expression, Huangfu Ruiling’s smile deepened, and he even let out a low chuckle.
Upon hearing his laughter, Ye Leng’an snapped out of her daze.
Regaining her composure, she glared at him. “Is it funny, or are you reveling in your own charm?”
Her squinted eyes seemed to convey a message: If Huangfu Ruiling dared to affirm, the following consequences would be unpleasant.
“I’m delighted,” Huangfu Ruiling said, smiling softly. “But I’m happy that you appreciate my face. It means I’ve gained another point in your heart, doesn’t it?”
After hearing his response, Ye Leng’an burst into laughter. Then, shaking her head in amusement, she said, “You truly know how to talk! In the past, you were like a closed book How did you become so articulate? Did you learn it from someone?”
“It’s all sincere.” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone was earnest.
“Alright, I’ll trust you completely.” Ye Leng’an smiled, saying, “In the future, say more of these kind words. I still like them.”
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled, not responding.
Seeming to recall something, Ye Leng’an maintained a smile on her face and continued, “I truly didn’t expect that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu didn’t receive invitations yet still came uninvited.”
“Ye Yikun probably played a part in this.” Huangfu Ruiling’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Didn’t I tell you before? Ye Yikun is undoubtedly a qualified leader.”
Ye Leng’an understood and nodded. “Indeed, Ye Yikun knows when to yield! When I was in the Ye family, wasn’t he vehemently opposed to letting me return? Why did he push Ye Hongxuan out now, attempting to ease our relationship? What a joke!”
Back at the Ye residence, Ye Yikun had asserted that she was absolutely forbidden from entering. Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu didn’t dare utter a word. Now, not only had they come uninvited, but it also turned out that Ye Yikun had already agreed to it!
“Probably because he learned about my identity,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “Ye Yikun decided to keep Ye Wanwan after considering the pros and cons since Ye Wanwan is still tied to the Murong family’s marriage.”
Ye Leng’an sneered and said, “The Ye family is considered an alchemist family! Why fixate on this marriage alliance and seek relations with other families?”
