“How could that be?” Zhong Yating quickly reassured, “Ruixiang, don’t worry. I will definitely treat your parents as my own and make them like me, their future daughter-in-law.”
Seeing that Zhong Yating was unresponsive and time was running short,
Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t have the patience for a proper conversation. “Zhong
Yating, I’ll tell you the truth! I can’t bring you back with me this time. So, you’d better give up on this idea!”
“Why?” Zhong Yating didn’t create a scene but remained calm. “Ruixiang, you promised me before. Are you trying to back out now? Aren’t you afraid I won’t share that information with you?”
“Until now, you’ve claimed to know crucial secrets, understanding Huangfu Ruilings position in the family. But what evidence do you have to prove your knowledge?” Huangfu Ruixiang said impatiently. “Even if you know, and I promised to marry you in exchange for that information, you have to give me some time! I can’t marry you today and hold a wedding tomorrow, okay?”
Zhong Yating was stunned by his outburst. She hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruixiang to lose his temper like this.
Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Ruixiang tried to calm his emotions. He reached out, pressing Zhong Yatings shoulder. “Yating, 1 know you’re anxious, but you have to give me time! Even if our marriage is a transaction, you can’t force it so hard!”
Although Huangfu Ruixiang was speaking the truth, it was harsh to hear.
Zhong Yating felt uncomfortable hearing this, but she couldn’t refute it. However, she still pulled Huangfu Ruixiangs sleeve and said, “Ruixiang, bring me along! I promise not to cause trouble. Moreover, if your parents agree to our marriage, we can get engaged in the mortal world first. And after the engagement, I’ll share everything I know with you. How about that?”
Originally disgusted by Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruixiang found himself tempted after hearing these words. Knowing those things earlier would indeed be beneficial. However, getting engaged to Zhong Yating was something he was reluctant to do.
With his current status, Zhong Yating was not worthy of him.
As Huangfu Ruixiang struggled internally, Zhong Yating continued,
“Ruixiang, you need to think carefully. If you really want to rely on Huangfu Ruiling, you need to know his true status in the family! I dare say, besides me, no one in the Huangfu family will tell you.”
For a moment, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t make a decision.
Zhong Yating, on the other hand, waited quietly. She was confident that Huangfu Ruixiang would agree eventually.
Sure enough, after some internal struggle, Huangfu Ruixiang gritted his teeth and agreed. However, he emphasized, “Zhong Yating, you can come with me, but you must promise to follow my arrangements.”
“Of course.” Zhong Yating, holding Huangfu Ruixiangs hand, replied shyly, “I’ve never been to the mortal world! If I weren’t with you, I wouldn’t dare to go alone! ”
Huangfu Ruixiang nodded. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked,
“By the way, did you get the pass?”
Cultivators of their level couldn’t freely move between the Hidden World and the mortal world; they needed a pass from their families. Rogue cultivators had to obtain a pass from the Enforcement Team.
“I’ve got it. Let’s hurry!” Zhong Yating pulled Huangfu Ruixiang along. “We might run out of time.”
Huangfu Ruixiang walked passively. Looking at Zhong Yating ahead, he felt a chill in his heart. He sensed Zhong Yating had planned everything. Otherwise, how could she obtain a pass so early? Was his final compromise part of her calculations?
Moreover, he decided to return to the mortal world only after receiving a message from his parents. It was a sudden decision, and Zhong Yating still managed to stop him.
How did Zhong Yating know he was leaving?
Thinking of this, a chill rose from the bottom of his feet. He wondered if his actions were like seeking a tiger’s hide.
“Ruixiang, what’s wrong?” Zhong Yating turned around, puzzled. “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Huangfu Ruixiang snapped back. “Let’s go!’
While speaking, he thought that after returning to the mortal world and settling Zhong Yating, he had to contact his parents. At the very least, he had to hide Li Yiran. Otherwise, if Zhong Yating found out, who knew what might happen?
Moreover, if he brought Zhong Yating back, saying he wanted to get married, Li Yiran, already pregnant, might be agitated.
Avoiding their meeting was the best choice.
After that unpleasant meeting, Ye Lengan never saw Yuan Silei again.
When she saw Yuan Silei again, Yuan Silei no longer looked as dispirited as before. In fact, she seemed even more refined than before.
This indicated that the Yuan family had likely overcome the crisis.
Ye Lengan didn’t care much about this. She had already stated that Yuan Silei’s affairs had nothing to do with her. Whether the Yuan family went bankrupt or found a way out, she wouldn’t interfere. There was no longer any connection between her and Yuan Silei.
However, perhaps due to the intense previous altercation, Yuan Silei acted as if she couldn’t see Ye Lengan at all and directly walked around her.
Ye Lengan was very satisfied with this. She even felt it would have been better if Yuan Silei had realized this earlier..
