Thinking about it, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What’s on your mind? Why the joy?” Just at that moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind. Ye Leng’an turned around to find Huangfu Ruiling slowly approaching.
“You’re back!” Seeing Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an rushed forward and embraced him, smiling radiantly. “Why are you back so early? Is everything settled?”
Huangfu Ruiling immediately wrapped his arms around Ye Leng’an’s waist. “I’ve discussed the general requirements with the Grand Elder; he’ll handle it. If any issues arise, he’ll seek guidance.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Ye Leng’an found it amusing. “Who would have thought that, in the end, the most relaxed individuals would be us, the soon-to-be-engaged main characters.”
“The Grand Elder will be delighted,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “The other elders seem excited too. It’s been a long time since the Huangfu family had such a joyful occasion. They just want to have some fun.”
Ye Leng’an burst into laughter. “You manage to make the ‘hands-off boss’ sound so refined!”
Huangfu Ruiling was somewhat speechless. He lightly tapped her forehead with his hand. “How can you say that?”
Ye Leng’an stuck out her tongue and didn’t say more.
“What were you laughing about?” Huangfu Ruiling asked. “I came back and saw you giggling alone. Did something happy happen?”
“No, Zhong Yating came over just now,” Ye Leng’an replied with a hint of helplessness. “She dragged me along and chatted quite a bit.”
“Zhong Yating?” Hearing the name, Huangfu Ruiling had no recollection. “Is she your friend? Why haven’t you mentioned her before?”
“No!” Ye Leng’an was somewhat speechless. “She’s your brother’s fiancée. Don’t forget, you helped organize their engagement ceremony in the mortal world!”
After Ye Leng’an’s explanation, Huangfu Ruiling recalled. However, he corrected, “I didn’t organize it. The hotel manager did it; I only gave the order. But why did she come to you? I don’t recall you having a good relationship,” he asked.
To be precise, they hadn’t exchanged many words.
“You are right, we have no relationship.” Ye Leng’an smiled and shook her head, continuing, “She came today to have me tell you about her marriage to Huangfu Ruixiang.”
“Marriage?” Huangfu Ruiling frowned in surprise. “Is Huangfu Ruixiang planning to get married?”
He hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruixiang to be interested in Zhong Yating, let alone planning to marry her.
“I don’t know Ruixiang’s plans, but Zhong Yating is eager to get married,” Ye Leng’an said, looking at Huangfu Ruiling. With a smile, she added, “With a big brother like you, how could Zhong Yating not want to hold onto Huangfu Ruixiang, a wealthy husband!”
Huangfu Ruiling frowned even more. “Even if Ruixiang is my younger brother, he won’t receive any special treatment in the Huangfu family.”
“That’s your perspective, but outsiders don’t know.” Ye Leng’an curled her lips in a sarcastic smile. She continued, “After your identity was exposed, many people found out Ruixiang is your younger brother. They’re openly or secretly trying to curry favor!”
“Those people have too much free time.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “It seems the family needs a good clean-up.”
“It’s indeed time for a cleanup.” Ye Leng’an rolled her eyes. “Today, a servant took the liberty of bringing Zhong Yating directly to me.”
Huangfu Ruiling took note and planned to have someone handle these matters later. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Ye Leng’an in his arms and suddenly asked, “What do you plan to do about the Ye family?”
“Huh?” Ye Leng’an was surprised. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruiling to bring up the Ye family suddenly. “What’s the matter?”
She had no intention of returning to the Ye family. Moreover, the Ye family had no intention of acknowledging her. Ye Yikun had made it clear that Ye Wanwan was the young lady of the Ye family. Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu also seemed reluctant toward Ye Wanwan.
Therefore, she didn’t think she had any connection with the Ye family now.
“We’re engaged. Should we invite them?” Huangfu Ruiling asked. “You decide.”
Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, speaking nonchalantly, “As usual is fine. If the Huangfu family usually invites the Ye family, there’s no need to exclude them this time.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Then, as if remembering something, he continued, “This time, there’s no need to invite the Ye family. After the incident at the Ye family last time, while the Huangfu family and the Ye family aren’t enemies, they can’t be as friendly as before.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Ye Leng’an was surprised for a moment. Then, she nodded indifferently. “It’s up to you. I have no objections.”
“After the ceremony, I’ve arranged things for the mortal world,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “It will be held before your school starts.”
Ye Leng’an pursed her lips into a smile. Then, teasingly, she said, “Why in such a hurry? Afraid I’ll run away?”
“I won’t give you a chance to escape.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed with a trace of darkness. “No matter what happens in the future, you’re mine and can only be mine.”
“Why not say you’re mine?” Ye Leng’an tilted her head, smiling. She continued, “Don’t tell me you’re a male chauvinist too? Do you want to treat me as your exclusive possession?”
“You’re not an object. You’re my lover, my other half. I’m yours, and you’re mine.” Huangfu Ruiling’s voice was soft but resolute. “We belong to each other.”
It wasn’t a poetic declaration, but when Ye Leng’an heard it, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of sweetness in her heart.
She reached out, hugging Huangfu Ruiling’s neck. Then, she nodded with a smile. “Yes, we belong to each other and only to each other.”
