After a considerable pause, Ye Hongxuan was the first to speak, saying, “Master Huangfu, inviting us for lunch today must have a purpose beyond just the meal, right?”
Upon hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Huangfu Ruiling glanced at him indifferently and responded, “Master Ye, can’t I simply invite you to a meal without any ulterior motives?”
Given this response, Ye Hongxuan found it challenging to decipher the other party’s intentions. From the beginning, he doubted whether the invitation was sincere. However, now, with Huangfu Lings words and the apparent lack of prior interaction, he was genuinely perplexed about the other party’s motives.
“Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, don’t worry,” Ye Lengan reassured with a smile. “You don’t need to read too much into it. Consider it a casual meal between friends.’
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged glances, noting each other’s confusion. However, as the other party had made their statement, they didn’t press for further explanation.
Soon, the four engaged in casual conversation, resembling friends catching up. Notably, Huangfu Ruiling remained silent, observing the interactions and keeping his focus on Ye Lengan throughout.
“Miss Ye is truly determined!” Ye Lengan remarked with a smile. “Her injuries today were quite serious! Yet, she insisted on continuing in the competition this afternoon. Such resilience is admirable!”
“Alas, she is just too headstrong.” Lian Mengzhu sighed, revealing a trace of concern. “Although this competition is crucial for the family, as a mother, I don’t wish for Wanwan to persist. Unfortunately, we can’t convince her otherwise,’
“It appears that Master Ye and Mrs. Ye genuinely care for Miss Ye!” Ye Lengan nodded appreciatively. “You two are truly excellent parents!”
Her tone remained unchanged, showing no signs of emotion. In reality, she felt no turmoil after witnessing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s affection for Ye Wanwan. She observed the situation as an outsider, without any inclination to involve herself.
“Miss Ye, there’s something you may not be aware of.” Lian Mengzhu smiled, explaining, “Wanwan is our only child. For some reason, perhaps related to our health, I haven’t been able to conceive since her birth. We initially wanted to give Wanwan a younger sibling, but it hasn’t happened. However, Wanwan is a wonderful child. Having her as our daughter brings us great joy.”
Ye Hongxuan remained silent, but the approval in his gaze conveyed his agreement.
“Miss Ye is fortunate to have parents like you!” Ye Lengan complimented with a smile. “We encountered your sister today, didn’t we? Your sister treats Miss Ye exceptionally well! Seeing her anxious demeanor, one might mistake her for Miss Ye’s mother!”
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, a sharp gleam flashed in the eyes of Ye Hongxuan on the side. Subsequently, as he turned his gaze toward Ye Leng’an, there was an undertone of scrutiny and coldness in his eyes.
Unfazed by this gaze, Ye Lengan met it head-on, maintaining an expression devoid of any change.
Meanwhile, Lian Mengzhu didn’t dwell on it. She nodded and added with a smile, “Zixin watched Wanwan grow up. She genuinely cares for her niece. Many times, I feel she’s more concerned about Wanwan than I am. However, Miss Ye might not know that my sister Zixin once had a child around the same age as Wanwan. Unfortunately, the child passed away not long after birth. It’s for this reason that she treats Wanwan as her own daughter..”
