Zhongyu Jiarui tightened her grip on Nangong Xuyao’s hand. “Xuyao, it’s not that I don’t trust you, I just…”

She couldn’t quite articulate her feelings. In the past, she had carried herself with a certain level of pride. She knew that as long as she remained the young lady of the Zhongyu family, Nangong Xuyao would never leave her.

However, now, in front of her father, Nangong Xuyao seemed even more favored than her. There were many instances where her father valued Nangong Xuyao more than her. This sparked a sense of crisis in her, realizing that Nangong Xuyao could leave her at any moment. That was why she felt so uneasy.

Seeing Zhongyu Jiarui’s expression, Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he continued, “Jiarui, rest assured, you’re the only one in my heart. As for Ye Leng’an, I didn’t tell you before, but she once saved my life. It’s just that some misunderstandings arose later, causing a rift between us. I feel sorry for her. Don’t overthink it.”

Presently, in front of Master Zhongyu, he indeed held his ground. However, he knew very well that besides his capability, another crucial factor was his engagement to Zhongyu Jiarui.

Though he had said so earlier, he had never entertained the thought of parting ways with Zhongyu Jiarui. If they were to separate, everything he had would likely crumble. So, he wasn’t foolish enough to leave Zhongyu Jiarui.

Yet, he didn’t want to keep bowing down before Zhongyu Jiarui. Hence, he had already devised a plan to assert control over the situation.

After hearing Nangong Xuyao’s explanation, regardless of her inner thoughts, Zhongyu Jiarui was moved. “Xuyao, I promise not to be jealous anymore. But you mustn’t utter words of separation because of other women in the future!”

“Alright.”

Nangong Xuyao reached out, tousling her hair with a fond smile. Yet, behind his smiling facade, his eyes remained icy.

On the other side, Ye Leng’an was oblivious to the happenings. However, she couldn’t ignore the envious glances from Zhongyu Jiarui. Nonetheless, she paid them no mind.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to settle the bill after dinner, someone slipped her a note. Upon reading its contents, her eyes darkened, and she crumpled the note into ashes.

Back at the Huangfu family, Ye Leng’an headed straight for the main courtyard. Upon entering, she spotted Huangfu Ruiling waiting.

A radiant smile graced her face as she approached. “You’re back! Why didn’t you come in? You’re waiting here!”

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s smile, Huangfu Ruiling softened his expression. Even his tone carried a rare gentleness. “I wanted to see you as soon as possible! How was your day? Did you enjoy yourself?”

He reached out his hand toward her while speaking.

Ye Leng’an effortlessly placed her hand in his, then spoke with a smile, “It was great. I wandered around the medicinal herb market and made quite a haul!”

Listening to her chatter, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t feel a hint of impatience. Instead, he found it quite enjoyable.

Ye Leng’an didn’t withhold anything and recounted the encounter with him earlier that day. Of course, she didn’t overlook Huangfu Ruixiang’s motives and disclosed everything.

After they sat down, Huangfu Ruiling listened to her account, his lips curling into a sardonic smile. “My mother seems to enjoy meddling in others’ affairs! She even wants to intervene in the Zhongyu family’s matters. She seems to have forgotten that she’s married and is now a member of the Huangfu family!”

Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow and then teased, “Well, it’s normal for her to think about her maternal family. It’s just foolish for us to bow to the Zhongyu family over such matters.”

Indeed, Zhongyu Liuying’s actions ultimately aimed to make them submit to the Zhongyu family and secure an opportunity for the Zhongyu family in the mortal world.

After all, it wasn’t a simple matter. Without a mutually beneficial exchange, why would the Zhongyu family agree to keep those disciples?

Therefore, Zhongyu Liuying’s initial plan was to sacrifice the interests of the Huangfu family to secure those of the Zhongyu family.

A cold smirk graced Huangfu Ruiling’s lips. “She’s not foolish, just presumptuous.”

Ye Leng’an shrugged, unable to deny it. Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly said, “Oh, after browsing the herb market today, guess who I bumped into?”

Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow, playing along, “Who did you meet?”

“Nangong Xuyao!” Ye Leng’an didn’t beat around the bush. “I happened to see Nangong Xuyao and Zhongyu Jiarui at the restaurant, but we didn’t exchange greetings.”

Hearing Nangong Xuyao’s name, Huangfu Ruiling’s expression darkened. “How did you run into Nangong Xuyao? The Hidden World is too small!”

Observing his reaction, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “Exactly, is it necessary to be jealous just hearing Nangong Xuyao’s name?”

“Because you are his savior!” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone carried a hint of jealousy. “If it weren’t for mistaking the savior…

“If it weren’t for mistaking the savior, do you think there could have been something between us?” Ye Leng’an retorted impatiently. “My taste isn’t that bad!”

She believed that even without Huangfu Ruiling, she would never have fallen for Nangong Xuyao.

“I know you don’t like him.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded and continued, “But I just don’t like him.”

Hearing his confident declaration, Ye Leng’an was momentarily speechless. “Alright, let’s not dwell on this. I’m not telling you this because of that. I have something important to tell you.”

At this point, her expression turned serious. “Before I left, I received a note from Nangong Xuyao. He said that the Zhongyu family and Ye Yikun have been in close contact recently.”
