Worried that Ye Leng’an might expose Ye Wanwan’s true identity, potentially jeopardizing the marriage between the Ye family and the Murong family, Ye Yikun wasted no time. Shortly after Ye Leng’an’s departure, a clarification statement was promptly issued.

The release of this clarification statement caused quite a stir in the Hidden World. Given the Ye family’s prior silence on the matter, many had assumed the allegations were true. The swift turnaround came as a surprise to many.

Questions arose as to why the Ye family had not clarified matters earlier if they were merely rumors. Moreover, the recent influx of benefits from other families to the Ye family fueled speculation. Why had the Ye family stayed silent until now?

Conversations buzzed about potential ulterior motives behind the scenes. However, with the Ye family’s clarification, and Ye Leng’an maintaining silence throughout, the situation remained shrouded in mystery.

Since the Ye family’s statement, there had been no further developments. The true nature of the situation remained a puzzle.

At the time of the Ye family’s announcement, Ye Leng’an was with Huangfu Ruiling. Unsurprised by the news, she said, “Ye Yikun acted swiftly! Within a day, the matter has been clarified.”

Amused by this, Huangfu Ruiling quirked an eyebrow. “Or perhaps he fears you’ll speak recklessly, tarnishing the Ye family’s reputation, and endangering Ye Wanwan’s wedding.”

“I believe that’s the most plausible explanation.” Ye Leng’an smiled wryly. “It seems quite simple now for the Ye family to clarify things.”

It ultimately depended on their willingness to do so.

“With the Ye family’s recent statement, you’ll never return to them.” Huangfu Ruiling observed solemnly.

Given the Ye family’s public disassociation from Ye Leng’an, it seemed unlikely she would ever be welcomed back. Ye Yikun’s prioritization of the family’s reputation and interests, coupled with the compelled statement, likely left a bitter taste.

Therefore, unless Ye Leng’an could bring significant benefits or Ye Yikun passed away, a return to the Ye family was improbable.

“That’s probably for the best.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “I anticipated this outcome when I approached Ye Yikun. I have no desire to be associated with the Ye family. This suits me fine.”

Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “Are you certain?”

“Don’t tell me you think I harbor feelings for Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu?” Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruiling oddly. “I thought you understood by now. My so-called biological parents are no more to me than strangers!”

“I understand.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then added, “I’m simply concerned you might regret your decision one day.”

He could see through Ye Leng’an’s current mindset, but he feared potential future regrets.

“I won’t.” Ye Leng’an’s smile was resolute. “I’ve chosen this path, and I’ll see it through, even if it means kneeling. Besides, I don’t consider them parents.”

Observing Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling refrained from further comment. Instead, he reached out and grasped her hand. “Whatever path you choose, I’ll stand by you.”

Touched by Huangfu Ruiling’s sincerity, Ye Leng’an chuckled. “I know. And I truly have no feelings for my supposed parents, so you needn’t worry. Besides…”

Her smile brightened as she continued, “You know just how much I’ve been through. That’s why I’m not as fragile as you might think.”

It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say she had no expectations for her so-called biological parents. She simply wasn’t the same girl from her first life, yearning for familial affection.

If, from the moment she learned the truth, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had firmly stood by her side without hesitation or excessive pity for Ye Wanwan, she might have been able to accept them as her parents now.

Sadly, it seemed Ye Wanwan’s position as their adopted daughter held greater significance in Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s hearts. She felt no need to vie for their attention with Ye Wanwan, for obtaining affection through manipulation wasn’t genuine.

Such impurity was something she wanted no part of.

Especially when, despite knowing it was Ye Wanwan’s biological mother who had swapped them, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu still insisted on keeping Ye Wanwan by their side. At that moment, she knew her bond with them was shallow indeed.

Given this, she saw no reason to continue entangling herself. Besides, she was above it.

Recalling the experiences Ye Leng’an had shared, Huangfu Ruiling looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes. “You can be vulnerable, you know. I’ll always be here for you to rely on.”

Unable to contain herself, Ye Leng’an burst into laughter. “Why so serious all of a sudden? You’re overthinking it. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m genuinely grateful to fate. I’ve always considered myself fortunate. After all, it’s rare to have the chance to restart one’s life like I did! And it’s these experiences that have shaped who I am now!”

Without her experiences in the cultivation world in her second life, she couldn’t have lived as freely as she did now, even with a rebirth.

So, regardless of the experiences, she saw them all as gifts from fate.
