While Sun Wan’er desired to establish a rapport with Ye Leng’an, she wouldn’t endure perpetual self-sacrifice or swallow her pride. As the Second Madam of the Nangong family, she couldn’t afford to compromise herself when the other party harbored ill intentions
Over the years, the inability to bear children had subjected her to countless covert ridicules. Although people refrained from expressing these sentiments in her presence, behind her back, they persistently mocked her as an infertile woman. Due to her inability to conceive, she had even allowed her husband’s illegitimate son to be accepted into the family.
Now, Ye Leng’an’s words were undoubtedly pouring salt on her wounds.
“Second Madam Nangong, I believe there’s a misunderstanding.” Facing Sun Wan’er’s anger, Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged, not a single furrowed brow. “What I meant is, if you wish to birth a son, I have a way to assist you. I presume you don’t want everything you’ve worked for with your husband to end up with an illegitimate child unrelated to you!”
Although the Sun family Sun Wan’er came from wasn’t comparable to the four major families in the capital, it still held a significant status. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have maintained her position as the Second Madam of the Nangong family for years without bearing a son. If she could truly give birth to a son, she would sever ties with Nangong Riming in the future.
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Sun Wan’er fell silent once again. This time, however, she wasn’t enraged but rather contemplating the meaning behind Ye Leng’an’s words.
The matter of having a child had driven her to numerous doctors and medications, all in vain. With her age now a factor, the prospect of having a child seemed even more challenging. Yet, Ye Leng’an claimed she could help. She found it hard to believe.
“Madam Nangong, I understand you might doubt my words,” Ye Leng’an slowly spoke again. “But the worst-case scenario is just that; why not give it another try? Regardless of success, you won’t suffer any loss, right?”
Sun Wan’er, after hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, delved into deep contemplation.
After a considerable pause, her gaze grew resolute, as if she had made a firm decision. “Miss Ye, is what you’re saying true? Can you genuinely help me fulfill my wish and give birth to a child?”
“Not only can I help you fulfill your wish to have a child, but…” After a pause, Ye Leng’an continued, “I can also guarantee that the child you give birth to will undoubtedly be a boy.”
Sun Wan’er’s breath caught for a moment, then she promptly asked, “What should I do?”
Although she felt somewhat irrational trusting an unexpected phone call, especially when she wasn’t even sure if the caller was truly Ye Leng’an, she couldn’t disregard the glimmer of hope to have a child.
“Just come to my villa tomorrow; we’ll discuss it thoroughly” Ye Leng’an provided a specific address, adding, “If you feel uneasy, feel free to bring your bodyguards along.”
“No need, I’ll go alone,” Sun Wan’er responded without hesitation. “Miss Ye, I trust you.”
Despite her words, she intended to dispatch someone to investigate the phone number and the given address. Better safe than sorry.
Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow and said no more.
She was indifferent to whether the other party genuinely believed her. Her willingness to assist was solely due to Ye Xiyuan. This, of course, amounted to mutual benefit.
Sun Wan’er and Ye Leng’an being unfamiliar with each other, they promptly ended the call after discussing their business.
“Have you set a time?” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an and suggested, “I’ll accompany you tomorrow!”
“No need,” Ye Leng’an rejected outright. “I can handle such a trivial matter alone. Besides, I believe Sun Wan’er, if not foolish, would know to treat me with respect. Even if I can’t cure her, she won’t dare to make trouble.”
Moreover, she was confident she could cure Sun Wan’er. Regardless of the reason behind her inability to conceive, she could remedy it. This confidence stemmed from her identity as an alchemist.
Seeing Ye Leng’an’s firmness, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t persist and simply nodded. “Alright, be careful.”
Ye Leng’an nodded and shifted the conversation. “Let’s drop the subject. Your parents should have stopped bothering you by now, right?”
“They haven’t called since our last discussion when went back.”
Speaking of his parents, Huangfu Ruiling’s tone remained nonchalant, devoid of extra emotions. “Probably realizing their place, they’ve chosen to behave.”
Ye Leng’an nodded and continued, “They will attend our engagement ceremony, won’t they?”
“Yes, they will,” Huangfu Ruiling affirmed. “As long as they’re not foolish, they’ll undoubtedly attend.”
This was an opportunity for them to display themselves in front of others and be remembered as the biological parents of the Huangfu family head. They wouldn’t let such a chance slip away.
Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “True. However, Huangfu Ruixiang should be back by then! They shouldn’t cause any trouble during the engagement ceremony, right?”
“They won’t,” Huangfu Ruiling asserted confidently. “They understand the sentiments I hold for them. If they continue causing trouble, it won’t only ruin them, but also their cherished son, Huangfu Ruixiang. Therefore, they won’t act recklessly.”
Ye Leng’an understood. “So, you have a hostage! No wonder you’re so confident. Still, I don’t think they would jeopardize their son, Huangfu Ruixiang.”
