A few simple words from Huangfu Ruiling caused Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s faces to go pale. They were speechless for a moment. Did they really not understand that?
The truth was, they knew Huangfu Ruiling had always been cold towards them, showing no emotions. It was like they didn’t even exist to him.
Despite knowing this, they had been trying to ignore it. Because of Huangfu Ruiling’s status as the head of both the Huangfu family in the mortal world and the Hidden World, he held significant power. They believed that by constantly reminding him they were his parents, they could gain more benefits, both for themselves and in front of others.
But deep down, they understood that this insistence meant nothing to Huangfu Ruiling.
“Brother, I…” Huangfu Ruixiang said, “It was my fault this time. please don’t blame Father and Mother.”
“I didn’t blame them,” Huangfu Ruiling responded calmly, his eyes showing no emotion. “I’m simply stating the truth. Whether they want to accept it or not is up to them.”
However, regardless of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s willingness to accept it, the fact remained unchanged.
Huangfu Ruixiang still had something to say, but before he could speak, Ye Leng’an intervened.
“Huangfu Ruixiang, you’re the last person who should be speaking here,” Ye Leng’an, breaking her silence, spoke slowly. “Remember why your parents brought you here. Are you still a child? Do you need your parents to speak for you when things get tough? What gives you the right to speak here? You just asked for a chance, and now you need your parents to come to beg for mercy. Have you grown up?”
Huangfu Ruixiang’s expression darkened at Ye Leng’an’s words. Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying felt angered by the humiliation directed at their youngest son. But before they could say anything, Huangfu Ruiling’s cold gaze silenced them. They couldn’t utter a word, feeling an eerie chill in the air.
Huangfu Jingzhang and the others left empty-handed, feeling disappointed.
After they departed, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an relaxed their postures. Ye Leng’an lounged lazily on the sofa.
“I didn’t expect to see them right after returning to the mortal world,” Ye Leng’an said, stretching. “But I had a feeling this would happen.”
Huangfu Ruiling gently touched Ye Leng’an’s forehead. “If you don’t want to see them again, just don’t let them in.”
“It doesn’t bother me.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “But they seem oblivious. They keep banging their heads against the wall every time they visit. Haven’t they learned their lesson yet?”
A hint of darkness flashed in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. “It’s time for them to face reality.”
Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “Exactly. It’s annoying to deal with their constant pestering, even though they always leave empty-handed.”
Then, Ye Leng’an turned to Huangfu Ruiling and remarked, “Ling, have you noticed? You seem different lately.”
Of course, Ye Leng’an still felt Huangfu Ruiling’s affection as usual. However, she noticed that Huangfu Ruiling’s demeanor towards others seemed colder lately. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she sensed a change.
“I haven’t changed,” Huangfu Ruiling reassured Ye Leng’an with a gaze filled with love and tenderness. “I’ve just been reflecting on some things and sorting out my thoughts, An’an.”
As Huangfu Ruiling spoke, his eyes brimmed with warmth, and his voice overflowed with love. “No matter what changes occur, one thing remains constant: my love for you.”
Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but be drawn to the affection in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. She never doubted Huangfu Ruiling’s love for her.
“I believe you,” Ye Leng’an said with a bright smile. “I love you too!”
Though said in jest, Ye Leng’an’s words carried genuine emotion.
Hearing her heartfelt words, Huangfu Ruiling’s face lit up with a smile. It was like the thawing of winter, replaced by the warmth of spring. In that moment, he smiled like a child receiving his favorite toy—innocent yet content.
After getting back to the mortal world, Ye Leng’an got back into her student routine and headed to class.
Once she stepped onto campus the next day, all eyes were on her, but she expected it. Ever since she announced her engagement to Huangfu Ruiling, she knew she’d be the center of attention.
It was a bit of a hassle, but it beat dealing with all the baseless rumors floating around.
With classes in the afternoon, Ye Leng’an returned to her dorm to unwind.
Inside, she found Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei chatting away, but they fell silent as soon as they saw her. The atmosphere grew awkward in an instant.
All of a sudden, Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows and smiled. “What’s wrong? Am I missing an arm or a leg? Why do I find it strange that you’re looking at me like that?”
A joke instantly lifted the awkward vibe in the dorm.
Zhu Bixuan snapped back to reality and strolled up to Ye Leng’an, giving her a friendly pat on the shoulder. Grinning, she teased, “Thought you’d have a whole new vibe! Didn’t expect you to be your usual self. Engaged to the head of the Huangfu family, why haven’t you changed at all?”
Seeing Zhu Bixuan back to her usual self, Ye Leng’an rolled her eyes. “What’s with the nonsense? Of course, I’m still the same. And FYI, I wasn’t just recently engaged. I was already engaged before I even met you guys.”
