Chapter 397: Her Agreement 1
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
No matter how much Ye Xiyuan procrastinated, she could not change the facts.
Now that Murong Yanshu had personally come, she was the matriarch of the Nangong family. If Ye Xiyuan chose to hide and not meet her at this time, wouldn’t it imply that she looked down on the Nangong family? Moreover,
Murong Yanshu’s favor towards her would definitely decrease because of this. It would be a loss outweighing the gain.
Therefore, even though Ye Xiyuan was reluctant, she still came to the living room very quickly.
Upon entering the living room, she saw Murong Yanshu and her parents sitting there, though in very different states. Although Murong Yanshu was a guest, she appeared exceptionally calm and composed, as if she were in her own home, without any discomfort. On the contrary, her parents were very reserved and tense, not at all like the hosts of the house.
Ye Xiyuan also understood very well that there was such an obvious contrast because of their difference in status. But even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.
“Xiyuan, you’re here!” Murong Yanshu immediately spotted Ye Xiyuan and waved with a smile. “Xiyuan, come over and sit. You’re still injured, so you mustn’t be careless!”
After hearing this. Ye Li and Lin Wanoin also looked over and saw Ye Xivuan
walking in.
“Xiyuan, you’re here!” Ye Li quickly greeted her, “Mrs. Nangong has been waiting for you here for a long time.”
“It’s okay.” Murong Yanshu smiled and shook her head. “l came here uninvited today. Besides, Xiyuan is still injured! If it weren’t for wanting to see her, I really shouldn’t have called her down!”
“Mrs. Nangong, what are you saying?” Hearing this, Ye Li quickly responded, “To have your favor is Xiyuan’s good fortune. Moreover, Xiyuan really likes you. If you came and we didn’t call her down, she would definitely blame us later.’
Murong Yanshu pulled Ye Xiyuan over to sit beside her. She didn’t even let go of Ye Xiyuan’s hand after she sat down. Anyone with eyes could see that she really liked Ye Xiyuan.
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin exchanged surprised glances.
Ye Li was especially surprised. At the same time, he also felt a surge of secret delight. Previously, although he saw that Young Master Nangong treated Xiyuan very well, he still had doubts in his heart because he didn’t know what the rest of the Nangong family was thinking. However, seeing how much Mrs. Nangong liked Xiyuan now, he felt much more at ease.
With Mrs. Nangongs support, Xiyuan’s marriage into the Nangong family seemed imminent. Moreover, the Young Master Nangong treated Xiyuan very well. When they became in-laws with the Nangong family, the status of the Ye family would also rise significantly.
Ye Xiyuan, on the other hand, had a smile on her face but no warmth in her heart. Because she knew very well that even if Murong Yanshu liked her, in her eyes, she was not qualified to be a member of the Nangong family.
Today, Murong Yanshu had shown up at her home suddenly. The first thing Ye Xiyuan thought of was the previous incident. Up until now, she still hadn’t decided whether or not to become Murong Yanshu’s goddaughter and Nangong Xuyao’s godsister. However, it seemed Murong Yanshu was not giving her much time to consider.
Still holding Ye Xiyuan’s hand, Murong Yanshu looked at Ye Li and Lin Wanqin and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, the main reason 1 came today was to thank Xiyuan for saving my life. If it hadn’t been for her, who knows where I would have been now!”
“Mrs. Nangong, you are too polite,” Ye Li, who was standing on the side, quickly replied with a smile. “In that kind of situation, anyone would have helped. Xiyuan is a kind child, so of course she wouldn’t just stand by and watch.’
“Xiyuan really is a good child!” Murong Yanshu held Ye Xiyuan’s hand and changed the topic. “l like her very much, so 1 came today to ask your opinion on something.”
Ye Xiyuan had not mentioned anything about Murong Yanshu wanting to acknowledge her as goddaughter to them. So Ye Li and Lin Wanqin were still kept in the dark. Now that Murong Yanshu suddenly said something like this, they couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“Xiyuan is a very independent child,” Ye Li quickly smiled and said. “She makes almost all her own decisions. As long as she thinks it’s good, we as her parents don’t have any objections..”
