Chapter 747: The Engagement Ceremony

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Time passed swiftly, and Ye Leng’an had already received the admission letter from the Capital University. Along with it came the engagement ceremony with Huangfu Ruiling.

Similar to the previous one in the Hidden World, yet somehow different.

When Ye Leng’an, adorned in her best attire, arrived at the venue holding hands with Huangfu Ruiling, she saw Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying standing at the entrance to greet the guests.

They had smiles on their faces, seemingly delighted about Huangfu Ruiling’s engagement. At a glance, they appeared to be exemplary parents with a good relationship with their children.

However, those privy to the truth knew that the relationship between this couple and Huangfu Ruiling was far from good. If their relationship was indeed positive, how could Huangfu Jingzhang, at such a young age, willingly step down from the position of family head?

Observing Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s demeanor, Ye Leng’an approached Huangfu Ruiling and remarked with a subtle smile, “Look, your parents seem genuinely happy!”

“Their acting is indeed commendable,” Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. “They are smart enough to know what’s best for both sides.”

Ye Leng’an nodded, smiling. “It’s a shame that anyone aware of your relationship wouldn’t perceive it as good.”

“Let them do as they please,” Huangfu Ruiling said, a faint smile on his lips. “On a day like today, as long as there are no mistakes, that would be ideal. ”

He had already given strict instructions to ensure no mishaps on this significant day. If Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying caused any trouble, they were to be promptly escorted away.

Today marked a joyous occasion for him and Ye Leng’an. Although they had already celebrated an engagement ceremony in the Hidden World, this ceremony in the mortal world held significant importance.

“Alright, let’s go inside!”

Ye Leng’an straightened her posture, holding Huangfu Ruiling’s hand as they walked into the banquet hall.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying momentarily froze, but quickly recovered. One couldn’t help but suspect that the subtle change was a mere illusion.

Approaching them, Zhongyu Liuying smiled and said, “Hurry inside! Your father and I will greet the guests here.”

Her demeanor resembled that of any ordinary mother delighted about her child’s engagement. Then, glancing inside, she continued with a smile, “Perfect timing, Ruixiang and Yating are back and inside! It’s been a while since you brothers met, a good opportunity to catch up.”

Aware that repairing their relationship with Huangfu Ruiling was nearly impossible, Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang could only create chances for Huangfu Ruixiang to befriend Huangfu Ruiling and mend their brotherly bond.

Huangfu Ruiling, noticing Zhongyu Liuying’s thoughts, nodded and walked into the banquet hall with Ye Leng’an.

Huangfu Ruixiang, accompanied by Zhong Yating, abandoned his previous conversation upon seeing Huangfu Ruiling and hurried toward them.

Left behind, Zhong Yating displayed a hint of awkwardness before following after Huangfu Ruixiang.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, she finally understood why Huangfu Ruixiang had lost his composure.

Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of acknowledging Huangfu Ruixiang, but he couldn’t resist when Huangfu Ruixiang took the initiative.

“Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re here!” Huangfu Ruixiang greeted them with a smile. “Congratulations on your big day!”

Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang indifferently and replied, “Thank you.”

And that was the end of it.

Faced with such a cold response, Huangfu Ruixiang felt his face redden, standing there at a loss for words.

In the past, unaware of Huangfu Ruiling’s position in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family, he could maintain composure and even feel a subtle sense of superiority. In the eyes of their parents, Huangfu Ruiling was the one abandoned, and moreover, he was seated in a wheelchair. Despite being the head of the Huangfu family, he was still perceived as disabled.

However, now that he knew the truth, facing Huangfu Ruiling made him nervous.

“Brother, Sister-in-law.” Zhong Yating had joined Huangfu Ruixiang at this point. Holding Huangfu Ruixiang’s hand, she continued with a smile, “You two are truly a perfect match. We’re genuinely happy to attend your engagement ceremony today!”

Observing Zhong Yating and Huangfu Ruixiang, Ye Leng’an’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Despite their engagement, she could sense some resistance from Huangfu Ruixiang towards Zhong Yating. However, seeing Zhong Yating holding onto Huangfu Ruixiang’s arm without any rejection or resistance was truly odd. Their relationship had become subtly complex in a short period.

“Sister-in-law, why are you staring at me?” Zhong Yating, sensing Ye Leng’an’s gaze, smiled and asked, “Is there something on my face?”

“Nothing. I just feel that, after some time apart, your relationship seems to have improved a lot!” Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, smiling. “Looks like you’ll soon get married!”

Previously, when Zhong Yating had mentioned marriage, Huangfu Ruixiang had no intention of getting married.
