“Wanwan, what’s wrong?” Murong Xingrui noticed that Ye Wanwan’s mood seemed a little off and immediately asked with concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”

He genuinely liked Ye Wanwan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on continuing the engagement with her after the family competition incident. However, after spending some time together, he felt like he didn’t really understand her. He even questioned whether he truly liked her or if it was just an old obsession.

Regardless, they were already engaged. Their engagement wasn’t just between them but also between their families. Moreover…

Looking at Ye Wanwan beside him, Murong Xingrui had to admit that in the Hidden World, few could compare to her beauty. Not to mention, she was also exceptionally talented in cultivation, and she was an alchemist.

Except for the slight damage to her family’s reputation from the Family Competition, she was outstanding in every aspect. Having such a future wife would undoubtedly be beneficial to him.

“I’m fine.” Ye Wanwan smiled at Murong Xingrui. “I was just lost in thought. Sorry for making you worry.”

“That’s good.” Murong Xingrui nodded with a smile, then looked towards the door and said, “I really didn’t expect the head of the Huangfu family to come in person today. Usually, it’s just the elders who attend. Your grandfather’s reputation is indeed substantial!”

When Murong Xingrui mentioned Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Wanwan’s expression briefly turned unnatural.

Because every mention of Huangfu Ruiling reminded her of Ye Leng’an. Despite her grandfather’s support, she feared her true identity would be revealed. If Murong Xingrui discovered she didn’t have the bloodline of the Ye family, she didn’t know how he would react.

Just the thought of Ye Leng’an filled her with rage. She blamed Lian Zixin for not taking more decisive action when she decided to switch children. If Ye Leng’an had died back then, none of this would have happened.

Now that Ye Leng’an had resurfaced, she felt like everything she had could be taken away from her.

Especially now that she knew Huangfu Ruiling and Huangfu Ling were the same person, her hatred for Ye Leng’an intensified.

She had been the one to pursue Huangfu Ruiling first, but Ye Leng’an had stolen him away. If she had been the one engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, she would have had nothing to fear. Even if her true identity was exposed, she wouldn’t worry.

Although her parents hadn’t said anything, it was evident they still harbored feelings for Ye Leng’an. They even hoped Ye Leng’an would return to the family.

As for her grandfather, he was indeed on her side, but his ambiguous stance made her wary. If Ye Leng’an truly returned to the family, her situation would be even more difficult. Even her marriage to the Murong family could be affected.

“Wanwan, why are you lost in thought again?” Murong Xingrui frowned and gently patted her shoulder. “You seem oddly behaved today. Are you sure you’re not feeling unwell?”

“I’m really fine.” Ye Wanwan quickly forced a smile. “I’ve just been tired from helping with Grandfather’s birthday preparations lately, that’s all.”

Hearing this, Murong Xingrui understood. He then advised, “You should rest properly. You were seriously injured not long ago. Although you’ve recovered, you still need time to recuperate. Otherwise, it might harm your health.”

“I understand.” Ye Wanwan smiled faintly, her impatience evident in her eyes. “Don’t worry, I’m an alchemist and knowledgeable in medicine.”

Murong Xingrui nodded and didn’t press further.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had already left swiftly. However, halfway there, they encountered Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.

The couple walked hand in hand, exuding an otherworldly charm that drew everyone’s attention.

But to Lian Mengzhu, only Ye Leng’an mattered. As Ye Leng’an approached, she felt a bit nervous, recalling their last unpleasant encounter. She didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Ye Hongxuan quickly joined her. He glanced at Ye Leng’an and said with a complicated expression, “I didn’t expect you to attend the birthday banquet today.”

Ye Leng’an’s previous rejection had surprised him when he heard she was coming.

Nevertheless, it was a good sign that she was here. It showed she wasn’t as cold-hearted as she seemed.

“Wasn’t the invitation sent by the Ye family?” Ye Leng’an spoke frankly, showing no guilt as if it were a trivial matter. “Since you invited us, it’s only natural for our Huangfu family to come and offer our good wishes, right?”

Her words made it clear that she was representing the Huangfu family today, and it had nothing to do with their previous persuasion attempts.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu understood her deliberate attempt to distance herself from them.

But they weren’t heartbroken. They knew it was rare enough for Ye Leng’an to come today. As for the rest, they didn’t want to push it and knew they couldn’t force it.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced at the two and said coldly, “Master Ye, shall we go in?”
