Upon hearing the door open, Huangfu Ruiling looked up. As he saw the person who came, his initially stern expression immediately softened, and his voice carried an indulgent tone. “Why did you come at this time? Weren’t you supposed to be at school today?”
Ye Leng’an didn’t head towards the office desk; instead, she went straight to the sofa and took a seat. Leaning back against the sofa, she adopted a lazy posture. “Some things happened, so I decided to skip school today. Since I had nothing else to do, I thought of dropping by to see you.”
“Not in a good mood?” Huangfu Ruiling walked over to the sofa and took a seat beside her.
He was quite perceptive to Ye Leng’an’s emotions. Therefore, upon glimpsing her expression, he could already sense that something was amiss emotionally.
“It’s nothing. I just found out that some things are different from what I originally thought,” Ye Lengan said, pursing her lips. “Honestly, I guess I’m not good at judging people.”
Yuan Silei’s matter didn’t have any impact on her, but it left her feeling a bit melancholic. It was as if something she had always taken for granted had suddenly been overturned.
Picking up on the melancholy in her tone, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but frown. “What happened today? Anything bothering you?”
Given the absence of secrets between them, and considering the relatively trivial nature of the matter, she shared the incident of Yuan Silei approaching her today.
In the end, she couldn’t help but sigh. “l thought I had a genuine friend. But now, it seems it was merely a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.”
“Since you’ve severed ties, don’t dwell on it,” Huangfu Ruiling said with a smile. “People unrelated to you aren’t worth your emotions.”
“Actually, I don’t feel sad.” Ye Lengan shook her head and continued, “It’s just that some things aren’t as I imagined.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and a glint of understanding flickered in his eyes.
Turning to face him, Ye Lengan extended her hand, cupping his face, and spoke earnestly, “There’s nothing between Yuan Silei and me anymore. You don’t need to do anything to her. I just expressed some sentiments, not sadness.’
Just as Huangfu Ruiling understood her, she also had a good understanding of Huangfu Ruiling. Hence, when she sensed a fluctuation in his emotions just now, she immediately intervened.
Even though Yuan Silei!s sentiments towards her were likely a result of a calculated decision, they had been good friends for many years. Despite the current strained relationship, there was no need for retaliation.
Moreover, Yuan Silei’s family company was already facing issues. Even if they didn’t intervene, it probably wouldn’t fare well. However, if Yuan Silei’s family could turn things around, she wouldn’t interfere.
With no existing relationship, she wasn’t concerned.
After gazing at Ye Lengan for a while, Huangfu Ruiling finally sighed. “Fine,
I’ll go along with your decision.”
“Hehe, get back to work quickly!” She waved her hand. “Let’s have hotpot for lunch, alright? I heard about a hotpot place with excellent reviews. Let’s try it today!’
Huangfu Ruiling readily agreed. He wouldn’t decline any request from Ye Lengan.
On the other hand, in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family…
Huangfu Ruixiang received a message from his mother, stating that Huangfu Ruiling had been spotted in the company. This meant that Huangfu Ruiling was indeed in the mortal world.
Upon hearing this news, he promptly sought leave from his family and planned to return.
The leave request went smoothly. The senior brother overseeing them didn’t inquire about the reason and approved it directly upon hearing of his intention to take leave. This was somewhat surprising.
After securing leave, he hastily packed and prepared to return to the mortal world.
However, to his surprise, he was intercepted by Zhong Yating the moment he stepped out.
Looking at Zhong Yating blocking his way, Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes showed a hint of displeasure, his tone carrying impatience. “Zhong Yating, don’t you normally focus on cultivation? Why are you everywhere?”
“Ruixiang.” Zhong Yatings face displayed a trace of grievance upon hearing his words. “l heard that you were planning to go back, so I specially followed you here.”
“l am indeed returning to the mortal world. What does that have to do with you?” Huangfu Ruilings expression wasn’t pleasant. “If you don’t have any business, move aside quickly; otherwise, it will be too late.”
It should be noted that ordinary disciples like them could only leave the Hidden World at specific times. If they missed the time, they would have to wait until the next day.
However, those elders from influential families or individuals holding significant positions didn’t need to adhere to this rule.
Therefore, his time was somewhat limited. He truly didn’t have the luxury to waste time with Zhong Yating.
“Ruixiang, let me go back with you!” Zhong Yating looked at Huangfu
Ruixiang, smiling brightly. “After all, didn’t you promise to marry me before?
In that case, it’s only right for me to accompany you back to meet your parents!”
“What?” Huangfu Ruixiang seemed to have heard something unimaginable.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“Of course, I do!” As if she couldn’t sense Huangfu Ruixiangs disdain, she maintained a radiant smile. “Didn’t you promise me? If that’s the case, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to follow you back! ”
Seeing Zhong Yatings eager expression, Huangfu Ruixiang felt a headache coming on.
He couldn’t bring Zhong Yating back with him. Setting everything else aside, Li Yiran still existed in the mortal world. Although Li Yiran wasn’t the chosen wife, she was carrying his child. He didn’t want to cause her unnecessary stress.
“Zhong Yating, I told you before that I’m going back to inform my parents about this.” Huangfu Ruixiang tried to steady himself and continued, “They aren’t aware of your existence right now. Your sudden appearance will only make them feel repelled..”
