Chapter 766: Being Sisters

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Li Yiran mention their child and seeing the infant in her arms, Huangfu Ruixiang’s fatherly instincts were stirred, prompting him to reach out and cradle the baby.

Coincidentally, as he held the child, the little one opened his eyes, his round orbs rolling about, adding to his charm.

“Ruixiang, look, he is awake.” Li Yiran’s face lit up with a smile as she naturally approached Huangfu Ruixiang, leaning against him as they both gazed at the baby. “Surely, he recognizes you as his father, which is why he woke at this moment.”

Huangfu Ruixiang remained silent, his face expressing warmth and affection.

At this moment, they appeared just like any ordinary family of three, the parents amusing their child.

Conversely, Zhong Yating, his lawful wife, stood at a distance, seeming like an outsider.

Observing the scene before her, Zhong Yating felt a surge of frustration, gritting her teeth as she faced Li Yiran’s taunting gaze, her eyes narrowing in barely concealed anger. She harbored a strong desire to confront the woman before her.

Even though marrying Huangfu Ruixiang had been part of her scheme, today was her wedding day, the most important day of her life. She already felt deeply aggrieved by the simplicity of the ceremony. Now, with Huangfu Ruixiang’s mistress ruining the wedding, one can only imagine her mood.

If she could, she would have killed the woman before her on the spot.

However, she knew she absolutely must not act impulsively, as it would only lead to regret. She was well aware that, given her status, she could never have legitimately married Huangfu Ruixiang. Everything that had happened was a result of her scheming.

Even if the woman across from her had borne a child, it didn’t change the fact that she was the victor. Because now, she was Huangfu Ruixiang’s legitimate wife, the Second Madam of the Huangfu family.

At the thought, Zhong Yating retaliated with a smug glance towards Li Yiran, her eyes even carrying a hint of pity. It was as if she pitied the other woman, knowing that even after bearing a child, she couldn’t attain a legitimate status.

At the sight of Zhong Yating’s smug expression, Li Yiran nearly erupted in fury. Had it not been for Huangfu Ruixiang’s presence, she might have already engaged Zhong Yating in a confrontation.

Just then, the door creaked open once more, revealing Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying, Huangfu Ruiling, and Ye Leng’an.

For a moment, it seemed the entire main family had gathered.

Soon, everyone took their seats, except for Li Yiran, who remained apart, cradling her child, appearing somewhat out of place.

The first to speak was Zhongyu Liuying, addressing Zhong Yating directly. “Yating, although you’re now married to Ruixiang, Li Yiran preceded you. You should address her as ‘sister’. Besides, she’s now the mother of Ruixiang’s child.”

These words instantly uplifted Li Yiran, refreshing her spirits. Even the indignation she had felt towards Zhong Yating vanished at that moment.

Of course, Li Yiran understood that Zhongyu Liuying’s support stemmed not from genuine fondness for her or a belief in her superiority over Zhong Yating, but merely a desire to suppress the latter.

Upon hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s words, Zhong Yating struggled to contain her emotions. She had not anticipated such remarks from her. However, given that Zhongyu Liuying was Huangfu Ruixiang’s mother, Zhong Yating found herself powerless to retaliate and could only endure silently.

Huangfu Jingzhang chimed in, “Your mother is right. Now that you’re married to Ruixiang, you must fulfill your duties as his wife. Since Li Yiran preceded you, you should address her as ‘sister’ and learn from her.”

Ye Leng’an, who had been observing quietly, couldn’t help but feel appalled at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s words. While she understood their intent to suppress Zhong Yating, she found their comments deeply insulting.

She dared to argue that had Huangfu Ruixiang married a woman from a similarly esteemed background, such words would never have been uttered. They might have even gone to lengths to prevent Li Yiran from appearing in public.

Upon hearing these words, Zhong Yating seethed inwardly, her frustration palpable. Yet, because Huangfu Ruixiang’s parents had spoken, she could not voice her objections and instead glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang, silently imploring him to speak up for her.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Ruixiang remained oblivious to Zhong Yating’s cues and simply nodded in agreement. “Father and Mother are right. Yating, you must get along with Yiran in the future.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Zhong Yating forced a smile and nodded in agreement. “Alright, I understand. I will make sure to get along well with my sister in the future.”

This was the path she had chosen, and she would see it through, no matter the humiliation. From this moment onward, she was Huangfu Ruixiang’s legitimate wife. In the eyes of others, she was the Second Madam of the Huangfu family.

As Li Yiran observed the unanimous support, she felt a surge of pride. In marrying a wife without background, Huangfu Ruixiang had inadvertently prevented Zhong Yating from asserting dominance. Moreover, Li Yiran had already borne him a child.

Had Huangfu Ruixiang married a wealthy young lady, the situation would undoubtedly have been different.

With a few more traces of sincerity in her smile, Li Yiran addressed Zhong Yating, “Sister, I’ll be counting on you to take care of me and my child in the future.”

Observing Li Yiran’s triumphant gaze, Zhong Yating’s eyes flickered with a hint of desolation, but she said nothing more.

Zhong Yating’s response was unexpected for Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, but they couldn’t continue to pressure her. It would be unseemly.

Moreover, the wedding ceremony had concluded. Zhong Yating showed no signs of seeking a divorce, so they had to lay off for now.

However, Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t bear to see Zhong Yating off easily and added, “Ruixiang, it’s been a while since you’ve spent time with Yiran and the child. For the next few days, you should devote some time to them!”
