Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, a warm feeling swept through Ye
Wanwan’s heart. However, as if realizing something, she suddenly spoke,
“Mother, if I weren’t your daughter, would you still treat me so well?”
“Huh?” Lian Mengzhu was taken aback by this unexpected question. She gently placed her hand on Ye Wanwan’s forehead, expressing concern,
“Wanwan, are you really okay? Why would you suddenly ask such a question?”
Her gaze focused intently on Ye Wanwan as if trying to discern if something was amiss.
“No, I was just curious.” Ye Wanwan disguised a smile and hastily reassured, “Mother, I’m really fine. I still have another match later!”
In fact, she regretted asking that question as soon as the words left her mouth. The impulsive inquiry was merely an attempt to gauge her mother’s feelings towards her. Fortunately, it didn’t raise her mother’s suspicion; otherwise, it could have been problematic.
It seemed that she needed to control her emotions in the future. At the very least, she should think before speaking.
“Wanwan, can you still participate in this final competition in your current condition?” Lian Mengzhu’s face was filled with worry. “Or let’s forget it!
Regardless, your health is the most important. Your father and I share the same opinion.”
“Mother, you don’t need to persuade me. I won’t withdraw from the competition under any circumstances.” Ye Wanwan’s tone exuded determination. “I’ve come this far; I absolutely can’t afford to lose.”
She not only intended to partake in the final competition but was determined to win. She wanted everyone to recognize her as the most deserving heiress of the Ye family.
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Mengzhu’s tone remained anxious. She continued to persuade, “Wanwan, you…”
“Mother, you don’t need to convince me.” Ye Wanwan cut off Lian Mengzhu’s words, speaking resolutely, “You know me well. Once 1 decide on something, I won’t easily back down.”
Although Lian Mengzhu had intended to say more, the determined look in Ye Wanwan’s eyes rendered her speechless. Familiar with her daughter’s temperament, Lian Mengzhu realized that persuasion wouldn’t easily change her mind.
With a sigh, Lian Mengzhu finally spoke, “Well then, rest up. The next competition will be held in the afternoon. Take this time to recover.”
Shortly after Ye Wanwan closed her eyes to rest, Lian Mengzhu left the inner room and returned to the venue.
On the stage, Huangfu Changmao and Murong Zhiyu were engaged in a fierce battle, much more exhilarating than Ye Wanwan’s previous match with Zhongyu Bixuan.
However, Ye Hongxuan’s attention was evidently elsewhere. Upon seeing Lian
Mengzhu return, he promptly asked, “How is Wanwan now?”
Worried about his daughter, he couldn’t leave due to his status. Seeing his wife’s return, he naturally sought an update on the situation.
“I think she’s okay.” Despite her words, Lian Mengzhu still appeared concerned. “But Wanwan insists on participating in the final round. I’m a bit worried.’
Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows after her reply. “Didn’t you try to dissuade her? In her current condition, even if she goes on stage, it won’t be of much use. It’s better to focus on recovery.”
While he also desired the priority to mine the spirit stone, his daughter’s well-being took precedence.
Considering Wanwan’s injuries, she needed to stay in bed for optimal recovery. Moreover, reaching this stage was commendable, and risking her health further wasn’t worthwhile.
“Do you think I didn’t try to persuade her?” Lian Mengzhu sighed. “You know
Wanwan’s personality! If she’s set on something, we won’t easily change her mind!”
“This is simply absurd.” Ye Hongxuan disapproved, but acknowledging Ye Wanwan’s character, he added helplessly, “Let’s be cautious when the competition begins. If Wanwan truly can’t endure it, we can call for a stop early on..”
