Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching Zhong Yating’s concerned expression, Huangfu Ruixiang felt a moment of guilt and a touch of emotion. Thus, despite his reluctance for Zhong Yating and Li Yiran to meet, he acquiesced.

He perceived Zhong Yating as magnanimous, and she had previously expressed her indifference towards such matters. Moreover, regardless of his personal feelings, he and Zhong Yating were now married. Hence, Zhong Yating ought to be informed of these affairs.

After descending from the stage, Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating proceeded towards the lounge.

At the main table, Huangfu Jingzhang stood and addressed Huangfu Jingxian, “Brother, I have some family matters to attend to here. I’ll rely on you to oversee the banquet.”

Observing Huangfu Jingzhang’s actions, Huangfu Jingxian comprehended his intentions. After nodding, he promptly responded, “Got it, Brother.” He urged Huangfu Jingzhang to proceed inside.

Nangong Xiyu remained silent but wore an expression of anticipation, relishing the unfolding drama.

Zhongyu Liuying, having a strained relationship with Nangong Xiyu, easily discerned her mocking demeanor. Despite harboring discontent, they were compelled to suppress it for the time being.

Soon, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying departed from the banquet venue.

The onlookers inferred their intent – to handle Huangfu Ruixiang’s affair.

As Huangfu Jingzhang and his wife exited, Ye Leng’an turned to Huangfu Ruiling beside her, her eyes gleaming with an unmistakable implication.

Understanding Ye Leng’an well, Huangfu Ruiling quickly grasped her intentions. Amused, he shook his head, then reached for Ye Leng’an’s hand, departing from the main table.

Observing this, Nangong Xiyu’s curiosity piqued further. With such an opportunity, she eagerly anticipated the spectacle and the chance to ridicule Zhongyu Liuying.

Yet, cognizant of her status, she acknowledged her inability to intervene. Thus, she suppressed her curiosity, continuing to entertain the guests.

In the lounge, Li Yiran sat with the child in her arms, her gaze filled with gloom. She hadn’t anticipated such a thorough defeat today. She could envision how smoothly the wedding proceedings outside would progress after her relegation to the lounge.

Zhong Yating’s conduct had exceeded her expectations. Despite the significant incident, Zhong Yating remained unperturbed, proceeding with Huangfu Ruixiang’s wedding seamlessly.

Zhong Yating’s cunning was profound. No wonder she ensnared Huangfu Ruixiang and became his wife. Had she known earlier, Li Yiran would have devised a more meticulous plan.

However, it was too late now. Huangfu Ruixiang had already taken a wife. Li Yiran could no longer aspire to become the Huangfu family’s second madam. Nonetheless, she still held a trump card – the child in her arms.

Though an illegitimate child, the family head Huangfu Ruiling had permitted its birth. This child was a scion of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruixiang’s eldest son.

At this realization, Li Yiran couldn’t help but clutch the child tightly. It was her sole advantage over Zhong Yating. She resolved to wield this leverage.

As Li Yiran indulged in her thoughts, the door suddenly swung open. Hastily composing herself, she cast a dependent and sorrowful gaze towards the doorway, awaiting Huangfu Ruixiang’s entrance.

As Huangfu Ruixiang stepped in, Li Yiran rose with the child in her arms. However, her joy was short-lived as she noticed Zhong Yating following closely behind.

Upon glimpsing Zhong Yating’s pristine wedding attire, a pang of heartache pierced Li Yiran. She realized she might never have the chance to don a wedding gown and become a bride in this lifetime.

Yet, that momentary sorrow swiftly dissipated. Li Yiran swiftly regained her composure, directing a smile towards Huangfu Ruixiang. She then spoke, “Ruixiang, I had no other choice. Unable to locate you, I hurried here upon hearing news of your whereabouts. I did not intend to disrupt your wedding.”

After her apology, Li Yiran cast a timid glance towards Zhong Yating, momentarily revealing a trace of jealousy that vanished instantly. “Miss Zhong, please forgive me. I truly did not mean to cause harm. Please understand a mother’s emotions; I merely wished for my child to meet his father.”

“It’s alright,” Zhong Yating replied with a gracious smile. “Although Ruixiang never mentioned you and the child before our marriage, now that we are wed, your affairs are mine as well. I understand your rash actions were for the sake of the child, prompting your appearance at our wedding. Fortunately, our wedding remained unaffected. You need not feel guilty. However, in the future, think twice before acting. You not only disgrace yourself but also Ruixiang. I’m sure people outside are already discussing this matter.”

Li Yiran’s expression nearly changed upon hearing Zhong Yating’s words.

She hadn’t expected Zhong Yating to remain indifferent despite repeated mentions of the child. Did Zhong Yating truly disregard their existence?

Moreover, Zhong Yating shifted all the blame onto her.

“Yiran, your actions today were reckless,” Huangfu Ruixiang added, his previously calm expression now tinged with displeasure. “To bring the baby before so many people – isn’t that inviting ridicule?”

Li Yiran’s expression remained unchanged and swiftly reverted to normal. When she looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, there was a shy apology on her face, along with an inexplicable sense of camaraderie. “Ruixiang, I didn’t mean to. It’s just been so long since I’ve seen you, and I miss you terribly. And our baby…”

At that moment, Li Yiran took a step forward, handing the child to Huangfu Ruixiang. “Take a look. This is our son. You haven’t held him since he was born!”
