After an unknown duration, the two finally broke apart.

Perhaps it was due to not taking a breath during the kiss, Ye Leng’an felt a dizzy spell, disoriented and lightheaded.

Observing her unusual state amused Huangfu Ruiling.

Regaining composure, Ye Leng’an’s gaze remained somewhat hazy as she looked at Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Ruiling chuckled but said nothing, simply wrapping his arm around her waist, allowing her to lean against him.

The atmosphere became momentarily ambiguous yet serene, exuding a sense of a beautifully undisturbed time.

Meanwhile, the state of the Yan family was far from ideal.

Enduring substantial pressure recently, the Yan family’s circumstances were already challenging. Additionally, the two legitimate children of the Yan family, Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei, had been sent back by the Ye family. Though described as being sent back, in reality, they were expelled.

The Yan family was perplexed about how they had suddenly offended the Ye family. They were already in the dark. Yan Kai had been urging Lian Zixin to gather information from the Ye family, but Lian Zixin, aware that she couldn’t let Yan Kai discover her actions, kept stalling.

Today, Lian Zixin suddenly went missing from the Yan family, prompting chaos. Yan Kai swiftly sought help from the Ye family, hoping to use this opportunity to mend relations and resolve misunderstandings.

Unexpectedly, the Ye family not only refused to allow their messengers entry but also coldly asserted that the Ye and Yan families were no longer relatives. Their Madam had severed ties with Lian Zixin, and henceforth, any matters concerning her should not involve the Ye family.

Faced with such a ruthless response, Yan Kai was left dumbfounded, unable to fathom the twists and turns of the situation. Over the years, he had witnessed Lian Mengzhu’s kindness towards Lian Zixin. Each time Lian Zixin returned from the Ye family, she brought back bags of items. Now, Lian Mengzhu’s indifference towards Lian Zixin was baffling. Even with Lian Zixin missing, there was no concern. What had happened between the two sisters that he wasn’t aware of?

Before Yan Kai could unravel the mystery, Lian Zixin was returned. Similar to her disappearance, nobody knew how she was brought back.

By the time they discovered her, Lian Zixin was covered in injuries and on the verge of death. Chaos ensued in the Yan family once again.

However, all of this was unrelated to Ye Leng’an. Her engagement ceremony with Huangfu Ruiling proceeded as scheduled.

Their engagement ceremony took place in the evening. Thus, by noon, Ye Leng’an had already been whisked away for her preparation.

It was only when the engagement ceremony was about to commence that Ye Leng’an finished dressing up. Stepping out, she spotted Huangfu Ruiling waiting not far from the entrance.

Upon hearing the movement, Huangfu Ruiling immediately turned, and upon seeing the elegantly adorned Ye Leng’an, he couldn’t help but be captivated.

Ye Leng’an was naturally striking, and even without makeup, she was astonishing. Now, with subtle enhancements, her already perfect features became more pronounced. Coupled with her opulent white evening gown, she resembled a celestial being untouched by earthly troubles.

Sensing Huangfu Ruiling’s reaction, Ye Leng’an curved her lips into a smile and approached. “What do you think? Stunned, right? Do I look good?”

With that, she twirled in front of Huangfu Ruiling.

Observing Ye Leng’an, resembling a little girl showcasing herself, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes filled with affection. He smiled and spoke softly, “You look very beautiful.”

“Does that mean I’m not usually beautiful?” Ye Leng’an playfully asked. “You better think carefully about how to answer! If I’m not pleased, your fate won’t be pleasant either!”

Unperturbed, Huangfu Ruiling allowed her to jest. He smiled and responded, “You are beautiful, always the most beautiful, no matter when.”

“Good!” Ye Leng’an nodded, appearing satisfied. She even extended her hand, tiptoed, and patted Huangfu Ruiling’s shoulder, speaking with a mischievous smile, “I’m content with your answer. Consider yourself barely passing.”

Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “Thank you for your generosity, Mrs. Huangfu.”

Upon hearing the address from Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an widened her eyes. “You… What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t casually tarnish my reputation!”

“Sooner or later.” Huangfu Ruiling reached out, took Ye Leng’an’s hand, kissed it gently, and then smiled, “So, Mrs. Huangfu, shall we depart?”

With that, he stood beside Ye Leng’an and raised his arm, gesturing towards her.

Ye Leng’an didn’t dwell on the matter. She held onto his arm, and the two proceeded towards the main hall.

As the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling would naturally hold the engagement banquet in the main hall.

The Huangfu family’s main hall was quite spacious and seldom used for entertaining guests in normal circumstances. Typically, only significant banquets were hosted there.

However, over the years, the Huangfu family had scarcely held banquets. The most recent one should have been many years ago, around the time when the new family head assumed office!

Yet, during that time, the central figure, Huangfu Ruiling, did not attend. Everyone had speculated about the appearance of the Huangfu family’s new head. It wasn’t until Huangfu Ruiling appeared before them that they realized he wore a mask.

No one could have guessed that Huangfu Ruiling, someone from the mortal world, was actually the same person as Huangfu Ling.

Most of the invitees had already arrived at the banquet venue. People from the other eight major families were present, but the Ye family was conspicuously absent.

The previous news of the Huangfu family not sending an invitation to the Ye family had already caused a stir. Seeing the continued absence of the Ye family only confirmed the speculations.

However, who could have anticipated that the Ye family and Huangfu family would have such a strained relationship due to the Family Competition?

Just as the guests exchanged toasts and the atmosphere was festive, a couple suddenly appeared at the entrance. They were Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, the two protagonists of the night.

Ye Leng’an held onto Huangfu Ruiling’s arm as they entered the hall.
