She was utterly perplexed by Ye Lengan’s actions – what could they mean? Why suddenly impart such counsel?
Their relationship had always been extremely poor. Yet now Ye Lengan helpfully suggested bearing a child might lead to marrying Huangfu Ruixiang. She had even provided recuperative medicine to aid that prospective conception ana pregnancy.
One had to recall, were it not for Ye Lengan seizing the Seven Star Flower initially, she would have long obtained similar restorative pills from Ye
Min’er. The very thought made Li Yiran gnash her teeth over Ye Lengan.
Moreover, she harbored no illusion Ye Lengan held any fondness for her.
What then was Ye Leng’an’s true objective? Naturally, she placed no credence in the claim of “doing a good deed daily.” Even if Ye Lengan did aspire to routine benevolence, Li Yiran felt certain she herself would never benefit from such fortune.
Gazing at the bottle in hand, Li Yiran couldn’t resist opening it regardless.
The moment the lid parted, an intensely medicinal fragrance emerged.
She quickly covered the bottle, excitement gleaming in her eyes. Although she didn’t know what kind of pills were inside the bottle, she was certain that these pills could indeed nourish her body. Just by smelling the fragrance of the medicine, she felt as if her entire being had lightened considerably.
Since waking up, she had consistently felt a sense of weakness, as if her entire being was frail. Even sitting quietly seemed to be a considerable effort. However, just by catching a whiff of the medicinal fragrance a moment ago, she suddenly experienced a long-lost sense of ease. That feeling was as if she had returned to her previous state.
If mere fragrance could provide such a benefit, ingesting the contents would likely yield even greater restorative effects.
Ye Leng’an’s earlier words on maternal status echoed through her mind, steeling Li Yiran’s resolve towards a final gamble. Although she didn’t understand why Ye Lengan was willing to remind her or provide her with pills for body conditioning, this was now her only chance.
If she didn’t implement this plan soon, it might be too late. If Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage was truly settled, even if she were to become pregnant, she would never become Huangfu Ruixiangs wife.
Moreover, even if she ultimately couldn’t become Huangfu Ruixiangs wife, she would still bear his first child. Men always had an indescribable attachment to their firstborn. Having a child would enable her to better capture Huangfu Ruixiangs heart. Even if he married someone else in the future, she could still hold a more significant place in his heart.
Clenching the bottled pill, Li Yiran tucked it into her bag before nonchalantly returning to rejoin the others.
Back inside, Huangfu Ruixiang had already settled their bill.
Noticing Li Yiran’s return, he casually inquired, “What took you so long?”
“Oh, I ran into an acquaintance and we talked a bit,” Li Yiran gently demurred, then shifted focus. “Ruixiang, are you free tonight? Could you come over and keep me company? I’ve missed you.”
Seeing Li Yiran’s soft entreaty, Huangfu Ruixiangs heart softened. He directly agreed, “Alright, I’ll come by and visit you tonight.”
After the meal, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan also took their leave. Huangfu Ruiling needed to return to work affairs at the company, while Ye Lengan simply went back to the villa itself. Naturally, Huangfu Ruiling first saw Ye Lengan safely home before continuing to his own business.
En route, Ye Lengan kept stealing expectant glances toward Huangfu Ruiling, anticipating when he might finally forfeit composure and inquire what had passed between her and Li Yiran. Yet Huangfu Ruiling remained steadfastly silent.
At last, the one losing patience proved Ye Lengan. “Don’t you plan to ask what happened at all?” she questioned Huangfu Ruiling. “Aren’t you the least bit curious what Li Yiran and I discussed?”
“If I were to ask, would you even tell me?” Huangfu Ruiling evaded responding directly, instead answering her question with one of his own..
