Chapter 799: Understanding the Current Situation

“Father, I’m not a child anymore. Getting married is something natural.” Ye Wanwan was firm. “Besides, Xingrui and I love each other. Wanting to be together forever is normal, isn’t it?”

While she appreciated her father’s concern, she wouldn’t compromise on this matter. It was about her future, and she needed to plan it carefully.

Moreover, since her grandfather had brought it up at this time, it was more of an announcement than a discussion. She couldn’t refuse, nor did she want to.

“Wanwan, we need to think about this carefully.” Lian Mengzhu expressed concern. “You’re still young. You’re not at the age to talk about marriage. If Xingrui truly likes you, he wouldn’t mind waiting. Why make things difficult for yourself?”

Ye Wanwan remained silent, but her expression showed her determination.

Seeing Ye Wanwan’s resolve, Lian Mengzhu wanted to continue persuading her. However, before she could speak, she was interrupted.

“Shut up.” Ye Yikun raised his head, his cold gaze on Lian Mengzhu. “Didn’t I already say? Let Wanwan decide for herself. Do you not understand my words, or do you not respect me?”

His words chilled Lian Mengzhu to the core. She felt cold all over, suppressing any trembling.

“Father, I’m sorry for my words,” Lian Mengzhu apologized immediately. She had been too focused on Wanwan’s well-being and almost forgot that her father had initiated this conversation. Her attempts to persuade Wanwan were clearly opposing her father’s wishes. Given her recent actions, her father’s dissatisfaction was understandable. Continuing to oppose him could lead to dire consequences.

Ye Yikun snorted, then turned to Ye Wanwan with satisfaction. “Since you’ve made your decision, find a way to resolve it soon. Xingrui’s affection may not last forever. Plan for yourself to avoid disappointment.”

“Understood, Grandfather.” Ye Wanwan nodded.

She understood her grandfather’s hint: take advantage of Xingrui’s current affection to expedite marriage. It was the most foolproof approach.

Ye Yikun was pleased with Ye Wanwan’s understanding. He glanced at Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. “Wanwan has a plan. As her parents, support her. Also, find time to deal with Ye Leng’an’s situation! She’s your daughter. Surely you don’t want her to never call you ‘mom and dad’?”

His words pierced Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s hearts.

The next day, Huangfu Ruiling went to the enforcement team, while Ye Leng’an stayed to refine pills.

The elders were delighted. Miss Ye had promised that the pills she refined would remain with the Huangfu family.

Although the Huangfu family had alchemists, none matched Miss Ye’s skill. Her high-grade pills with excellent effects were a significant asset to the Huangfu family!

Ye Leng’an spent the entire day in the alchemy room, not even taking breaks for meals. It wasn’t until Huangfu Ruiling returned that she realized it was late.

“You’re back!”

Ye Leng’an had just stored a bottle of pills when Huangfu Ruiling entered. After stowing the pills away, she approached Huangfu Ruiling. “Everything’s settled!”

Glancing outside, she was surprised. “It’s so late already?”

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s appearance, Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “Have you been in the alchemy room all day?”

Sensing Huangfu Ruiling’s displeasure, Ye Leng’an felt guilty but then regained confidence. “Yes! There were times when I spent several days in a row there! As an alchemist, I naturally devote myself to refining pills. Forgetting time is normal!”

Observing Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling felt helpless. He reached out, patting her head, then sighed. “I’m just worried about you. I’m not against your alchemy, but I want you to rest.”

If Huangfu Ruiling had been firm, Ye Leng’an would have exploded. But his softened tone reignited her guilt. She stammered, “I didn’t mean to. I was just too focused, that’s why I lost track of time. I promise to be more careful next time.”

Though Ye Leng’an sounded confident, Huangfu Ruiling remained skeptical. However, he knew that being too strict would only upset her. So, he smiled and shook his head. “Alright, I trust you.”

Despite his words, he resolved to supervise Ye Leng’an’s next session. If he couldn’t, he’d find someone who could. Neglecting one’s health for too long would have consequences, no matter how robust the body was.

Ye Leng’an nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

Moving closer, she took Huangfu Ruiling’s hand. “I haven’t eaten all day. Even if I’m not hungry, I want to eat. You must have been busy too. Let’s eat together!”

Huangfu Ruiling tapped Ye Leng’an’s nose, smiling helplessly. “I knew you’d say that. I had food prepared when I returned. It should be in the courtyard now. Let’s go!”

Ye Leng’an chuckled, then tiptoed to plant a kiss on Huangfu Ruiling’s cheek. “You’re the best.”
