The conversation ended on a sour note.

Ye Leng’an stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu remained seated, their expressions solemn. It was evident that both of them were feeling quite unsettled.

“Hongxuan, what do you think we should do now?” Lian Mengzhu’s voice carried a hint of anguish. “Leng’an… she won’t forgive us, will she?”

All Lian Mengzhu could discern from Ye Leng’an’s words was resentment towards them, indicating an unwillingness to forgive. That seemed to be the underlying reason for her remarks.

“Don’t dwell on it too much,” Ye Hongxuan comforted. “Right now, Leng’an is just taking it hard. With time, she’ll come around. She’ll understand our intentions eventually.”

“Will that day really come?” Lian Mengzhu sounded uncertain. “Leng’an… she seems very adamant.”

“Let’s take it slow,” Ye Hongxuan said, though not feeling particularly optimistic. “No matter what, we’re her biological parents. That bond can’t be changed, nor can it be severed.”

He wasn’t sure if he was reassuring himself or Lian Mengzhu.

“Yeah.” Lian Mengzhu nodded. Then she asked suddenly, “What about Father’s instructions? It seems like Leng’an won’t attend his birthday banquet.”

“Just tell the truth when we get back.” Ye Hongxuan sighed. “We’ve tried our best to convince Leng’an. If she refuses, there’s nothing more we can do.”

Lian Mengzhu nodded silently.

The couple sat in silence for a long while before finally getting up and leaving.

Meanwhile, after leaving the cafe, Ye Leng’an took a taxi to Huangye Group.

“How did it go?” Huangfu Ruiling asked as Ye Leng’an entered, rising from his seat to join her on the sofa. “Have Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu left?”

He had already guessed that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were the ones seeking Ye Leng’an when the driver came back to report.

“I think it went okay, but…” Ye Leng’an pursed her lips and smiled. “They might not be feeling too good.”

However, this wasn’t her concern.

“Oh.” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “Seems like the conversation didn’t go well.”

“Well…” Ye Leng’an shrugged. “I’ve told them straight up that everyone should mind their own business from now on. I’m getting a bit impatient with dealing with them.”

Huangfu Ruiling could already imagine the reaction of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. “If you don’t want to see them, I’ll find a way to ensure they can’t come back to the mortal world!”

“That’s unnecessary.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “Let them do as they please. But I won’t be as accommodating next time. Did you know? They actually came this time to invite me to Old Master Ye’s birthday banquet. Aren’t they afraid I’ll upset him?”

“Old Master Ye’s birthday banquet?” Huangfu Ruiling understood. “Even the Huangfu family in the Hidden World has been invited. I plan to go take a look. Will you come?”

“You want to go?” Ye Leng’an was surprised. “I thought you’d send Grand Elder for such an event!”

“Remember how Ye Wanwan suddenly regained her cultivation and even improved it?” Huangfu Ruiling asked. “Why not take this chance to find out?”

“That makes sense.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “It would seem too abrupt if we went to investigate the Ye family directly. I should have accepted Ye Hongxuan’s invitation today if I had known earlier.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Huangfu Ruiling chuckled, shaking his head. “If you accept Ye Hongxuan’s invitation, you’ll attend as a daughter of the Ye family. But if I accompany you, it’ll be different. You’ll be there representing the Huangfu family. That carries a different significance.”

“True.” Ye Leng’an agreed. “But the Ye family is indeed very pragmatic.”

At this, a cynical smile crept onto Ye Leng’an’s lips. “Old Master Ye swore he’d never acknowledge my identity. But how long has it been? As soon as he found out we were engaged, he sent Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu to emotionally manipulate me. Do they think I’ll yearn for parental love?”

“Old Master Ye is a competent leader but not a good relative,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked lightly. “He prioritizes the family’s interests too much.”

“I don’t like him, but I dislike Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu even more.” Ye Leng’an’s expression turned indifferent. “They take everything for granted. They actually believe Ye Wanwan and I can coexist peacefully. Do they think I can forget that Ye Wanwan’s biological mother switched us? Or do they think Ye Wanwan can forget that I crippled her Dantian?”

So sometimes she found Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu quite ridiculous. Although she and Ye Wanwan weren’t enemies, they could never be good sisters. In fact, they could only be adversaries.

She’d bet that Ye Wanwan would want to get rid of her now.

“Perhaps it’s just their wish,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “They hope you and Ye Wanwan can fulfill it for them.”

“What a joke,” Ye Leng’an scoffed. “Who do they think they are? Do they have the right to demand anything from me? Just because of some distant blood tie? It’s simply wishful thinking.”

“Alright, if you don’t like them, just avoid seeing them in the future.” Huangfu Ruiling reached out and patted Ye Leng’an’s shoulder, smiling. “You’re my wife. You have the right to be willful. Whatever happens, I’ll always stand by you.”

“You’re mistaken.” Ye Leng’an lifted her head, looking at Huangfu Ruiling with a sweet smile. “Even if I’m not your wife, I’m still me. I still have the right to be willful. If I want to, I can. And if I don’t want to, no one can force me.”
