Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng’an’s hand, then lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand. His expression looked devout and holy as if he wasn’t kissing the back of her hand, but his faith, his sole lifelong pursuit.
Seeing Huangfu Ruilings actions, Ye Lengan’s eyes grew blurred and her heart shook. Then, the corners of her mouth curved into a sweet smile.
The moment that smile appeared, it was as if spring had arrived and the earth had come back to life. Originally cold and noble like an empress, she now seemed like a pampered princess, pure and flawless.
In a manor in the suburbs of the Nangong family, it was brightly lit at this time. All kinds of luxury cars came and went as they held a top-class banquet for the wealthy families of the capital.
When the Ye family’s car stopped at the entrance, those attending the banquet couldn’t help but take a second look. After all, those who could attend the Nangong family’s banquet were all first-class families in the capital. The cars arriving here were often worth tens of millions.
Now, a car worth only a few million appeared among them, making it seem somewhat out of place.
However, those attending the banquet were all raised in well-bred families and had good manners. So, while they found it peculiar, they only glanced briefly and didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Ye Xiyuan sat in the car, her cheeks a little flushed, though it was unclear if it was from shyness or some other reason. In the past, she had always felt that even if the Ye family wasn’t considered a first-class family in the capital, they were at least a wealthy clan. But today, after coming here, she finally understood what a top family was like.
Now, sitting in the car, she could almost feel the curious gazes of the people outside. However, she had already come this far, she couldn’t just keep sitting in the car. What’s more, Nangong Xuyao had invited her here today. At a time like this, she couldn’t afford to show any signs of being overly cautious or Nangong Xuyao’s favor towards her might decrease.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiyuan opened the car door and slowly got out.
When they saw Ye Xiyuan get out of the car, many people paused to take a look. Clearly, no one had seen this girl before and didn’t understand why she would be in this place. After all, anyone with eyes could see she didn’t fit in.
However, they soon knew why she was here, because they saw that after the girl got out of the car, Young Master Nangong had actually come out of the manor and walked over to the girl.
“Xivuan, I’m sorry, I was planning to go pick vou up.”
As soon as Nangong Xuyao heard Ye Xiyuan arrive, he immediately came out.
He looked apologetic and said, “Something came up here at the last minute, so
1 couldn’t go over. I’m sorry you had to come alone.”
Since he had invited Ye Xiyuan to be his female companion, he naturally should have gone to pick her up. However, he was delayed by his mother before he could leave, so he had no choice but to let Ye Xiyuan come by herself.
“It’s fine.” Ye Xiyuan tilted her head and smiled brightly. “I’m not a child anymore. I don’t need to be picked up and escorted everywhere. I can come on my own! Are you worried I might get lost?”
Hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words, Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but laugh. When he looked at Ye Xiyuan, his gaze grew even gentler.
Only then did he notice Ye Xiyuan!s attire and his eyes were full of admiration. Ye Xiyuan wore a pure white off-the-shoulder long formal gown, her beautiful collarbone faintly visible. The dress fabric was so white it seemed almost translucent, emitting a soft glow, like the wings of an angel, yet it revealed nothing. The hem of the dress formed graceful, gentle curves from high to low, elegantly flaring out to showcase her porcelain-like legs. The skirt was adorned with crystals that sparkled like countless beautiful morning dewdrops.
She didn’t wear any extra jewelry, just a small crown in her tied-up hair. It made her look as beautiful as an innocent princess.
Although he had seen Ye Xiyuan dressed up before, there had never been a time when he was so thoroughly impressed.
Ye Xiyuan was very satisfied seeing Nangong Xuyao’s admiration.
Ye Li had spent a huge amount to prepare this gown for her for tonight’s banquet. The timeline was extremely tight, and they had to pay extra to ensure it was ready for today..
