Chapter 675: Nangong Riming

After taking a big stroll, it was uncertain if Huangfu Ruiling was still hungry, but Ye Lengan felt a bit stuffed.
She patted her slightly protruding belly, holding hands with Huangfu Ruiling, and lazily said, “I’m so full! It turns out that when you have free time, you should still visit lively places like night markets.”
Though they didn’t sit down to eat, they encountered various unique snacks along the way. After the tour, they were both pleasantly full.
As for Huangfu Ruiling, she presumed he must be full too. Like any other girl, she handed over all the leftovers to him.
With satisfied stomachs, they continued their leisurely stroll through the night market. Besides food stalls, there were also many stalls for accessories and amusements.
When the two paused in front of a small booth, browsing the accessories, Ye Lengan heard a familiar voice.
“Brother Nangong, let’s check out the front!” A sweet voice with a hint of coquettishness echoed.
Ye Lengan turned around and saw none other than Ye Xiyuan.
However, to her surprise, Ye Xiyuan was walking with a tall, rather ordinary-looking, and somewhat sleazy man. Most notably, the man appeared to be almost thirty. No matter how you looked at it, he didn’t seem like an older brother, and it was quite a stretch for Ye Xiyuan to call him that.
“Okay, whatever you say.” The man put his arm around Ye Xiyuan’s waist and subtly pinched her waist, wearing a self-assured smile. He continued, “You know, I always listen to you.”
A trace of disgust flickered in Ye Xiyuan’s eyes, but she maintained a shy smile. “Brother Nangong, you’re really annoying!!
“Don’t you like me like this?” The man didn’t show any restraint; instead, he became even more audacious. His hand even began to wander around Ye Xiyuan’s waist. “l like you the most too, girl.”
Facing the man’s impudent behavior, Ye Xiyuan didn’t resist and instead smiled coquettishly, leaning into his embrace.
They appeared as an ordinary couple, but perhaps due to the age difference, the scene was somewhat eye-catching.
Probably because Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan had disguised themselves, Ye Xiyuan didn’t recognize them at all and walked straight past.
After Ye Xiyuan left, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but exclaim, “You won’t believe it, but when I heard Ye Xiyuan calling Brother Nangong, I thought Nangong Xuyao was back.”
Most surprisingly, she assumed Nangong Xuyao had magnanimously forgiven Ye Xiyuan for all her previous deceit. Just as she was still marveling at Ye Xiyuan’s cunning, she suddenly noticed that sleazy man.
It turned out that this Nangong was not the same as the one she thought. Despite both being surnamed Nangong, their appearances were vastly different. Ye Lengan couldn’t comprehend how Ye Xiyuan could tolerate the man, let alone call him brother in such a delicate manner.
Upon hearing Ye Xiyuan’s coquettish voice, it sent shivers down Ye Leng’an’s spine.
“Because Nangong Xuyao gained attention during the Family Competition, he is currently the Nangong family’s focal point,” Huangfu Ruiling explained calmly. “At this time, he will definitely not easily leave the Hidden World.”
Ye Lengan nodded in agreement and added, “That makes sense. Not everyone is like Huangfu Ruixiang, who, after getting such a good opportunity, becomes lazy. He probably thinks that becoming an inner sect disciple means he’ll be nurtured by the family!’
“Let him be.” Huangfu Ruilings tone lacked any extra emotions. “The family doesn’t raise useless individuals.’
In his eyes, Huangfu Ruixiang was nothing more than a wasted opportunity. He had provided him with a chance, but he didn’t seem to appreciate it at all.
Ye Lengan chuckled and continued, “However, Ye Xiyuan calling that man
Brother Nangong – is he also a member of the Nangong family?”
“Yes.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “That man is Nangong Riming, Nangong Xuyao’s cousin.”
“Cousin?” Ye Lengan was a bit surprised. “Then why is his name Riming?
Shouldn’t names in those big families have one fixed character?”
According to Nangong Xuyao’s name, their generation should be of the Xu generation. Why did this sudden anomaly occur?
“He was originally an illegitimate son of Nangong Xuyao’s uncle,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “But because Nangong Xuyao’s uncle’s wife couldn’t give birth to a boy, Nangong Xuyao!s uncle brought Nangong Riming back. Due to his wife’s opposition, his name was never changed to Xu.”
“So, that’s the reason!” Ye Leng’an understood but was then a bit puzzled. “How did Ye Xiyuan end up with Nangong Riming? She actually fancies someone like Nangong Riming?”
In the past, Ye Xiyuan was always surrounded by handsome men like Nangong
Xuyao and Li Deze. Now, suddenly switching to a sleazy man like Nangong Riming was truly conspicuous! It was almost an overstatement to say that beauty paired with a beast.
“That’s her only chance to get close to the four major families,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “Apart from Nangong Riming, I doubt there’s anyone in the four major families blind enough to be interested in Ye Xivuan!”
After his return, he received reports about Ye Xiyuan’s recent activities.
Therefore, he was well aware of what had transpired with Ye Xiyuan lately.
The reason he paid attention was that Ye Leng’an’s first life had ended badly because of Ye Xiyuan. Although Ye Lengan hadn’t mentioned it, he had discreetly monitored Ye Xiyuan’s actions. If there was any sign of trouble, he intended to nip all potential dangers in the bud.
Furthermore, he believed Ye Lengan might find Ye Xiyuan’s affairs interesting.
Upon hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan was rendered speechless..
“Then she really isn’t picky! How could she tolerate someone like Nangong
Riming? It seems that without Nangong Xuyao’s help, she’s truly desperate!”
