However, despite the deviation from expectations, Li Yiran remained composed. She wore a look as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, shedding tears continuously without uttering a word.
Her teary-eyed appearance evoked sympathy from many men present.
Huangfu Ruixiang was among them. When he glanced at Zhong Yating, a hint of reproach colored his tone. “You don’t need to be so aggressive; Yiran didn’t do it on purpose.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yiran felt a twinge of satisfaction, then cast a provocative glance at Zhong Yating out of Huangfu Ruixiang’s sight.
Though furious inside, Zhong Yating showed no sign of it. She turned to Huangfu Ruixiang beside her and smiled lightly. “Ruixiang, I don’t know about what happened among you, this lady, and this child. I don’t mind. After all, who doesn’t have a past? However, today is our wedding, the most important day of my life. I’ve already compromised with everything that happened before. Can’t we just let our wedding proceed smoothly today? Is it too much to ask for such a small wish?”
These words stirred up the little guilt remaining in Huangfu Ruixiang’s heart.
He turned to Li Yiran and said, “Yiran, wait for me in the lounge! We’ll talk after the ceremony.”
Li Yiran was taken aback. She didn’t expect Huangfu Ruixiang’s attitude to change so quickly. For a moment, she was at a loss. “The baby…”
“Take him to the lounge first!” Huangfu Ruixiang made a decisive decision.
Li Yiran felt extremely unwilling. She had chosen to appear at this moment today to disrupt Huangfu Ruixiang’s wedding. However, her appearance had now become a joke.
She still wanted to say something, but Huangfu Ruixiang had someone take her away.
Although her heart was filled with unwillingness and resentment, Li Yiran did not dare to resist. Because if she resisted, she would break her victim image. So, she could only hold the child and obediently follow the others in the direction of the lounge.
Despite Li Yiran’s interruption, the wedding continued smoothly, with no further disruptions.
However, the guests below were no longer focused on the wedding; their minds were elsewhere, pondering the relationship between the newlyweds and Li Yiran.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s faces grew even darker. Seeing the completed rituals, their expressions remained grim.
They were deeply disappointed in Li Yiran. They had hoped for her to disrupt the wedding, but her efforts proved feeble. A few words from Zhong Yating had sent her away.
Indeed, she lacked the stature for such acts, despite having a child as leverage.
Ye Leng’an approached Huangfu Ruiling with an amused smile. “I didn’t expect this drama to end so quickly. Li Yiran is truly weak, not on Zhong Yating’s level at all!”
Her words stirred guilt in Huangfu Ruixiang, who then decided to send Li Yiran to the lounge to avoid further disturbance.
“Because Zhong Yating’s intentions are clear.” Huangfu Ruiling observed everything. “All she wants is to become Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife and join the Huangfu family.”
“Indeed,” agreed Ye Leng’an. “Typically, a girl in such a situation would make a scene, perhaps even storm off in anger. But Zhong Yating’s unnerving composure is impressive. I wouldn’t be able to do the same.”
Because if she were to marry, it would definitely be to someone she liked. If betrayed by someone she liked, she wouldn’t remain this calm. The wedding wouldn’t proceed for sure, and furthermore, she would retaliate fiercely against the person who betrayed her.
“You won’t encounter such a situation,” reassured Huangfu Ruiling. “I will never do that, nor let you suffer.”
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s seriousness, Ye Leng’an chuckled. She gently pinched Huangfu Ruiling’s cheek, saying, “Do you have to be so serious? I’m just making a comparison.”
“I’m serious,” insisted Huangfu Ruiling, devoid of humor. “No matter what happens, I will never betray you.”
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s solemn expression, Ye Leng’an’s smile vanished. After a moment of emotion, she nodded and said earnestly, “I believe you.”
Their interaction didn’t escape the notice of their tablemates, who had varying reactions.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were already in a sour mood due to Huangfu Ruixiang’s situation. Witnessing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an’s sweetness only added to their frustration.
Ye Leng’an wasn’t their ideal daughter-in-law. They envisioned someone more respectful and bridging the gap between them and their son.
However, Ye Leng’an not being a prestigious lady was one thing, but her temperament was even more difficult to describe. She lacked any respect for their prospective in-laws.
Unfortunately, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t heed their wishes, choosing to be with Ye Leng’an instead. Their disagreement over a woman further strained their relationship.
But Huangfu Jingxian’s family had less complicated thoughts, merely admiring the affection between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.
Regardless of the thoughts below the stage, the wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly.
Zhong Yating linked arms with Huangfu Ruixiang, a sweet smile on her face, feeling relieved.
“Shall we check out the lounge now?” Zhong Yating turned to Huangfu Ruixiang, taking the initiative. “I’m your wife now; there are things we need to face together.”
