Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Now that she was back in this world, this was her first time celebrating the new year! After leaving the Ye family, she felt very relaxed now. She also wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of the new year again.
After Huangfu Ruiling heard that, there was a thoughtful light glittering in his eyes.
After seeing Zhongyu Yiran, they went to have dinner together again.
This time, Ye Leng’an did not reject Huangfu Ruiling’s invitation. Ever since she came back from the southern boundaries, she did not know if it was because she had experienced many things with Huangfu Ruiling, she felt that there was much less strangeness between the two of them.
Of course, this did not mean that they were very close. It could only be said that the relationship between them was much better than before. At the very least, they were like friends now.
This time, Huangfu Ruiling did not bring Ye Leng’an to a famous restaurant. Instead, they went to a private restaurant. However, although it was a private restaurant, the decoration inside was not inferior to those of Michelin restaurants.
This private restaurant was a good choice. Unfortunately, it was a small world here.
After arriving at this private restaurant, Ye Leng’an deeply understood the meaning of this sentence. That was because she bumped into those people from the Ye family at the entrance.
“D*mn it.” Ye Leng’an frowned. She could not help but mutter, “I just want to have a quiet meal. Why is it so difficult? It seems that the heavens really love to joke around. I didn’t expect to meet them here.”
She did not want to meet those people from the Ye family at all. Although they had once lived together, she had cut all ties with them. They were just some people whom she absolutely did not want to greet even if they met.
“Do you want me to chase them out?” Huangfu Ruiling could see Ye Leng!an was displeased and asked directly, “I’ll get someone to do it immediately.”
That matter-of-fact tone sounded as if he was the boss here.
Ye Leng’an felt speechless. She laughed and said jokingly, “Huh? Do you own this private restaurant?”
“No.” Huangfu Ruiling said, “But chasing them out is just a piece of cake. I can do that.”
“Pfft!” Ye Leng’an burst into laughter when hearing that. She shook her head, held back her laughter, and said, “There’s no need. Since this is a restaurant, everyone can come and eat here. They are open for business, so we should not make things difficult for them. Besides, I’m not afraid of them. I’m just a little tired of being entangled with them. However, if they knew what was good for them, they wouldn’t come up to disturb us.”
A familiar voice sounded in her ear as soon as she finished speaking.
“Leng’an, you are also here!” Ye Xiyuan glanced at Huangfu Ruiling, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and there was a flicker of regret in her eyes. Then, she looked at Ye Leng’an with a gentle smile on her face. “It’s rare to meet you. Why don’t we sit together? Let Dad treat us.”
After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at Ye Li. She stuck out her tongue at him mischievously. “Dad, you have to treat us.”
She didn’t expect to meet Ye Leng’an here. However, what was even more surprising was that the person beside Ye Leng’an this time was still the man sitting in the wheelchair from before.
She didn’t know who this man was, but his striking appearance, peerless elegance, and noble aura as if he owned the world still made her obsessed with him. However, when she saw his disabled legs, all her romantic thoughts were immediately dispelled.
No matter who he was and how outstanding he was, the fact that he was sitting in a wheelchair meant that his charm had a limit. Just based on this point alone, the man in the wheelchair was definitely not as good as Nangong Xuyao.
The young master of the Nangong family would become the head of the Nangong family in the future. In addition, Nangong Xuyao was young and promising, gentle and considerate. He was her best choice.
Ye Li looked at Ye Xiyuan who was being cute with a doting expression. “As long as you like it.”
After that, he looked at Ye Leng’an with a cold expression. “Since we’ve met, let’s eat together!”
He didn’t expect to meet Ye Leng’an here. Of course, he didn’t want to eat with her either. However, since it was his daughter’s request, he naturally would not refuse. There were just two more people, he could still afford to invite them to dinner.
“That’s great.” Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Leng’an with excitement. “Leng’an, let’s go!”
“Huangfu Ruiling, let’s get a private room!” Ye Leng’an ignored Ye Xiyuan as if she didn’t see her. She directly said to Huangfu Ruiling, “I’m a little hungry.”
“Okay!”
Since Ye Leng i an ignored them, Huangfu Ruiling also wouldn’t respond to them. They ignored Ye Xiyuan and continued walking forward.
Ye Xiyuan thought that Ye Leng’an might say some nasty things, so she also thought about how she should act pitifully to gain sympathy from her family. However, she had never expected that Ye Lengan would pretend that she didn’t exist and left immediately.
“Ye Lengan, stop right there.” Ye Li stepped forward and blocked Ye Leng’an’s path. “Who allowed you to leave just like that? Don’t you have any manners?”
He couldn’t explain why he wanted to stop her. However, when he saw Ye Leng’an turning a blind eye to them, he was furious. It was as if he felt that his authority was challenged.
“Mr. Ye, this is not your home.” Ye Lengan stared at Ye Li, her tone full of sarcasm instead of mercy. “We are all customers here, and we are equal. Who do you think you are to criticize me here? As for the manners you mentioned…”
At this point, a malicious smile appeared on her face. “Then I’m really sorry. In the past more than ten years, I grew up in such a family. I was not properly brought up. However, Mr. Ye must have good upbringing. You even swaggered around in the restaurant where you would have dinner.”
Ye Li flew into a rage and almost fainted.
“Dad!” Ye Xiyuan took a step forward and supported Ye Li. She asked with concern, “Are you alright? Don’t be angry. Leng’an didn’t do it on purpose. She just has some misunderstandings about me, that’s why she said that.”
“Xiyuan, stop defending her.” Lin Wanqin took a step forward and glanced at Ye Leng’an with disgust in her eyes as if she had seen something dirty. “She is bad to the bone. She won’t appreciate your kindness..”
