Chapter 1033: Meeting Ye Xiyuan Again
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Watching Zhong Yating hurry away, Ye Leng’an leaned back, appearing relaxed, in stark contrast.
Thinking about what Zhong Yating had brought up, she found it surprising but understandable. It was clear Zhong Yating wanted to be with Huangfu Ruixiang, but Huangfu Ruixiang’s thoughts remained unknown.
However, that was none of her business. Since Huangfu Ruiling had cut ties with them, she couldn’t keep engaging with them.
With a faint smile, Ye Leng’an left the café.
Afterward, Zhong Yating didn’t seek out Ye Leng’an again. Her focus shifted entirely to Huangfu Ruixiang and their child, knowing the child was crucial to her future.
Li Yi had been expelled from the capital, his whereabouts unknown. Li Yiran, after receiving a hefty sum from Huangfu Ruixiang, moved abroad to live. Despite feeling touched by Li Yi’s actions and some guilt, she couldn’t bear to face the hardships that awaited him.
Since Li Yi got kicked out by the Huangfu family, life was going to be tough for him. Even though Li Yiran got no family, she practically grew up there. She didn’t get to marry Huangfu Ruiling as she wanted, but she ended up being Huangfu Ruixiang’s mistress.
She had been living the high life all along, never having to worry about a thing. So, there was no way she’d tough it out through hard times. That was why she definitely wouldn’t with Li Yi.
As for Li Yi, he faced the outcome with acceptance. Despite his feelings for Li Yiran, he sensed something amiss but chose to ignore it, not wanting to tarnish his idealized image of her.
Now, he had no regrets, knowing he had brought this upon himself.
Ye Leng’an sighed upon hearing the outcome. She glanced at Huangfu Ruiling across from her and sighed again. “I never thought it would turn out like this.”
Huangfu Ruiling responded lightly, “Zhong Yating isn’t winning either. Huangfu Ruixiang has been cozying up to a minor celebrity lately.”
“Really?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes widened briefly before understanding. “Well, that’s not surprising. Huangfu Ruixiang isn’t exactly faithful.”
Both Li Yiran and Zhong Yating failed to capture Huangfu Ruixiang’s heart. He was a playboy, but Zhong Yating seemed oblivious to the truth.
“Don’t dwell on other people’s affairs,” Huangfu Ruiling advised, lightly tapping Ye Leng’an’s forehead. “Let’s focus on our own.”
“We still have almost a year until my twentieth birthday!” Ye Leng’an chuckled, understanding what Huangfu Ruiling meant. “Do we really need to be so hasty?”
Huangfu Ruiling insisted, “It’s less than a year away. It’s time to start preparing.”
Wanting a grand wedding, he knew early preparation was crucial.
Ye Leng’an laughed in response. “Alright, then you should get started.”
With fewer distractions, Ye Leng’an’s days returned to normal. She quietly resumed her school life.
During breaks, she even went shopping with Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei. Though they didn’t always see eye to eye, they became good friends.
On this day, Ye Leng’an and Zhu Bixuan set out for a shopping spree together. Ling Weiwei had planned to join them, but last-minute school club issues left her unable to make it.
As they wandered through a high-end shopping mall, both Ye Leng’an and Zhu Bixuan accumulated quite a haul. Feeling weary from their shopping marathon, they decided to take a break and grab a bite to eat. Zhu Bixuan excused herself to use the restroom, leaving Ye Leng’an waiting.
Unexpectedly, in this brief interlude, Ye Leng’an bumped into an old acquaintance: Ye Xiyuan.
Seeing Ye Xiyuan again felt like a lifetime had passed. However, the sight that greeted Ye Leng’an was a stark contrast to the image she remembered. Despite being around the same age, Ye Xiyuan appeared much older than her years, sporting disheveled attire and heavy makeup. She looked nothing like a typical student.
At that moment, Ye Xiyuan was arm in arm with a man—not her ex-boyfriend, Nangong Riming, but an older gentleman. He exuded success and maturity, enough to be her father. Their relationship seemed more than platonic; they resembled a couple, albeit with a significant age gap. To put it bluntly, he appeared to be Ye Xiyuan’s sugar daddy.
With the Ye family’s bankruptcy, Ye Xiyuan had fallen into dire straits. Her family had disowned her, refusing to acknowledge her as their daughter. Even when they begged for her help in their time of need, she rebuffed them, leaving behind only scorn and disdain. Since then, she had severed all ties with her family.
Yet, life hadn’t been kind to Ye Xiyuan either. Shortly after her family’s downfall, she was abandoned by Nangong Riming. In pursuit of a lavish lifestyle, she found herself in the arms of another, trading affection for material comforts.
Spotting Ye Leng’an, Ye Xiyuan’s initial reaction was to avoid her at all costs.
