All eyes were fixed on Huangfu Ruixiang as if they were awaiting his decision.
Huangfu Ruixiang suddenly felt an immense pressure weighing on him. After a moment, he finally spoke, “No matter how this situation came about, Yiran is the victim. I don’t think it’s appropriate to send her away.”
Zhongyu Liuyings face immediately darkened. When she looked at Li Yiran, her gaze resembled a murderous intent. With Huangfu Ruixiang speaking up now, she was even more determined to drive Li Yiran far away. Having such a seductive woman by his side would undoubtedly lead to his downfall.
Li Yiran, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Huangfu Ruilings words. At the very least, if he was willing to support her now, everything could be resolved.
Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang and continued, “So, what’s your plan next?”
Did he intend to marry Li Yiran? It was time to have a clear answer
Huangfu Ruixiang once again fell into silence. He didn’t know how to respond. The fact was, he and Li Yiran did have sex. Logically, he should take responsibility. However, in his future plans, his wife could not be someone like Li Yiran. Although he wasn’t the heir to the Huangfu family, he was a direct descendant. His future wife needed to come from one of the four major families.
Admittedly, Li Yiran was undeniably beautiful, and he was attracted to her.
But this attraction wasn’t enough to make the decision to marry her.
However, giving up on Li Yiran was also something he was hesitant about. After all, he had just experienced a taste of her, and he was struggling to let go.
“Do you need so much time to contemplate such a simple matter?” Huangfu Ruiling’s expression turned cold as he looked at Huangfu Ruixiang. His tone was almost icy as he continued, “You’re a grown man; when you face a problem, don’t you think about how to resolve it?”
Before Huangfu Ruixiang could respond, Zhongyu Liuying interjected, “No, Ruixiang absolutely cannot marry this woman. What kind of status does she have? What qualifications does she have to marry Ruixiang?”
She was determined not to let Ruixiang marry Li Yiran. Her ideal daughter-in-law was a highborn lady from a prestigious family. Moreover, Ruixiang was about to participate in the family competition in the Hidden World. If he performed well, his future prospects would be much better. Therefore, he couldn’t be held back by someone like Li Yiran.
Li Yiran’s face turned pale, and she appeared on the brink of collapsing. She looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, her eyes shimmering with a pleading expression. Beautiful women often had a way of evoking sympathy.
Seeing Li Yiran like this, Huangfu Ruixiang momentarily wavered. He was even on the verge of blurting out that he was willing to marry her.
“Ruixiang,” Huangfu Jingzhang spoke up, “Your wife must not be an orphan. You must think carefully about how your future wife will affect you. If you marry Li Yiran, your future will be much more challenging.”
These words instantly solidified Huangfu Ruixiangs wavering resolve. After contemplating for a while, he looked at Li Yiran and said, “Yiran, I do like you. However, you’re not a suitable candidate for a wife. If you’re willing, I’ll still look after you. Although there’s no official status, nothing else will be lacking. Of course, if you’re unwilling, I can provide you with a sum of money. You can leave this place and start anew.”
This declaration sent Li Yiran’s heart plummeting. She had never anticipated that, after all her scheming and planning, she would end up as nothing more than a lover. If she could only be a secret lover, why had she bothered with all these schemes in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to follow Zhongyu Liuyings arrangements and become Huangfu Ruilings lover?
After all this turmoil, she still couldn’t enter the doors of the Huangfu family.. What had she done all of this for?
