“She overestimated Huangfu Ruixiangs feelings for her.” Huangfu Ruiling didn’t harbor any sympathy. “Huangfu Ruixiang is very clear-headed. He won’t make any choices that don’t serve his best interests. This time, Li Yiran’s troubles are self-inflicted.’
Ye Lengan nodded and remarked, “To be honest, she was too hasty. She might be stunning, but it’s not so easy to win Huangfu Ruixiangs heart based solely on her looks. That’s why, after the incident, Huangfu Ruixiang wasn’t inclined to grant her a formal status.”
“It’s her own choice,” he continued. “After tonight, her days of prosperity are likely over. My mother will undoubtedly make her life difficult.”
“Li Yiran can’t endure much more turmoil.” Ye Lengan shrugged, adding, “After the poisoning incident, her vitality was severely compromised. She didn’t recover properly afterward, and at this rate, her life might be near its end.’
“She has no will to live, so no one can change that.” His tone remained aloof.
“Whether she continues to exist or not, it’s her fate and doesn’t concern us.’
“Indeed.” She nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, “It appears you’ve won this bet. Li Yiran truly can’t marry into the Huangfu family.”
It might have been possible, but Li Yiran’s impatience ruined it all in an instant. Now, not only can she not marry, but it will be even more improbable in the future.
He observed her and raised an eyebrow but didn’t continue the conversation.
“So, what would you like me to do?” She looked at him and emphasized, “Ruiling, let’s be clear about this. Your request mustn’t be overly demanding!
Otherwise, I reserve the right to refuse.”
Hearing her resolute words, he chuckled. “An’an, are you openly trying to weasel out of it?”
“How could I be that kind of person?” she vehemently denied. “I’m just stating a precondition. And, in my opinion, the terms I’ve presented are quite reasonable! Or are you seriously planning to request something I can’t do?”
“Rest assured,” he said as he reached out and embraced her. “Even if my demands prove challenging for others, I won’t make them difficult for you. I’m confident you can meet my requirements.”
“So, what is this request?” she immediately inquired. “Tell me!”
She was not accustomed to owing anyone anything, even though he was her boyfriend. However, since they’d entered into a bet, she was more than willing to accept defeat. Still, she hoped to resolve the matter swiftly and not have it hanging over her head.
“l can’t tell you now,” he declared. “Let’s wait a few days, and then I’ll disclose my request.”
“A few more days!” She frowned and cast a skeptical glance at him. “You’re not hatching some devious plan, are you?”
“What kind of devious plan could I possibly have?” He was candid. “I’m just delaying it for a few days. Or are you considering reneging on our agreement once I’ve delayed it?”
“I’m not that sort of person.” She rolled her eyes and retorted, “A few days’ delay is fine. However, 1 must clarify upfront that you can’t impose any burdensome demands! You mentioned that. Don’t contradict yourself!”
“Absolutely not,” he asserted.
The banquet proceeded smoothly, barring a couple of minor hiccups earlier in the evening. After tonight, it was clear that the matter of the Huangfu family’s patriarch had been sealed. Despite any reservations that Huangfu Jingzhang may have, the situation couldn’t be altered.
The next morning, Ye Lengan had intended to attend her classes at school. However, just before leaving, she received a phone call.
“Hello, who is that?” Ye Lengan found the caller’s number unfamiliar.
“Miss Ye, please save my father!” The voice on the other end of the line carried a note of urgency. “He suddenly fell unconscious, and none of the doctors dared to proceed with surgery. You’re his only hope now..”
