Chapter 906: A Foregone Conclusion

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The affair concluded amidst Li Yiran’s reluctance and silent protest.

Throughout, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an remained mere spectators, offering no input.

Finally, the decisive moment arrived. Huangfu Ruiling turned to Huangfu Ruixiang, Zhong Yating, and Li Yiran, speaking, “This matter is settled. From now on, Li Yiran’s child, Huangfu Zihao, will formally be adopted under Zhong Yating’s name. Any objections?”

Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating exchanged glances and replied in unison, “None.”

Li Yiran stayed silent, resembling more of a silent dissenter.

Huangfu Ruiling’s icy gaze fell upon Li Yiran, “This is your son. What’s your decision?”

His demeanor suggested this inquiry was merely perfunctory.

Li Yiran hesitated but eventually nodded amidst the intimidating stares, “I… I agree!”

With that settled, Huangfu Ruiling announced, “In three days, we’ll add Huangfu Zihao’s name to the family tree.”

He harbored little sentiment toward Huangfu Zihao, a mere babe with no teeth. His previous reluctance to include Huangfu Zihao in the family tree stemmed solely from ident.i.ty concerns, not opposition to Huangfu Jingzhang. His agreement now was purely procedural.

As for their personal grievances, they were of no concern to him.

With the matter concluded, the group prepared to adjourn for dinner.

However, Huangfu Ruiling had other plans. He rose with Ye Leng’an, stating, “Now that matters are resolved, unless there’s anything else, we’ll take our leave.”

Aster that, he began to depart with Ye Leng’an.

“Wait a moment.” Seeing Huangfu Ruiling about to leave, Zhongyu Liuying hastily stood up. However, her expression was still somewhat unnatural when facing Huangfu Ruiling. “Why not stay and have dinner together? It’s been a while since we’ve eaten together.”

“No.” Huangfu Ruiling declined without hesitation. “We’ll take our leave.”

Without even sparing a glance at the others, he then led Ye Leng’an away, completely ignoring the displeasure on the faces of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying.

Observing their departure unnoticed, Li Yiran gritted her teeth and slipped away.

Only Zhong Yating noticed her exit.

As she watched Li Yiran leave, a faintly dark gleam flickered in her eyes. But she remained silent, refraining from stopping Li Yiran.

Now, she harbored no worries. The die was cast. Regardless of whom Li Yiran sought for aid, it wouldn’t alter the outcome.

She knew if Li Yiran left now, she’d seek Huangfu Ruiling or Ye Leng’an. If these two intended to support her, the outcome would’ve been different.

“Wait, Ye Leng’an, hold on!”

Before departing the old mansion, a familiar voice sounded behind them.

Huangfu Ruiling frowned, ignoring it, and continued with Ye Leng’an. At this point, he had no intention of entertaining anyone chasing after him.

Li Yiran’s urgency intensified. Seeing Ye Leng’an ignore her completely, her voice rose, “Ye Leng’an, wait! Don’t go!”

If possible, she’d block Ye Leng’an’s path directly. But with Huangfu Ruiling present, she dared not.

Ye Leng’an halted, along with Huangfu Ruiling.

Seeing Ye Leng’an stop, Li Yiran breathed a sigh of relief.

Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an, puzzled. He couldn’t fathom what Ye Leng’an and Li Yiran had to discuss.

“You go ahead.” Ye Leng’an held Huangfu Ruiling’s hand, saying,” I’ll join you shortly.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s brow furrowed slightly. But before he could speak, Ye Leng’an planted a kiss on his cheek.

Stepping back with a smile, Ye Leng’an urged, “Okay, go ahead!”

Huangfu Ruiling, previously displeased, now gazed at Ye Leng’an with affection. He gently ruffled her hair before departing.

Witnessing their intimacy, a flicker of jealousy flashed in Li Yiran’s eyes. But she quickly quashed it, knowing she had no right to stand beside Huangfu Ruiling.

A moment of regret surged within her, but she swiftly suppressed it. She understood she had no right to regret anymore. She was now Huangfu Ruixiang’s lover, precluding any interaction with Huangfu Ruiling.

Her task now was to win Huangfu Ruixiang’s heart, leveraging her son as her main a.s.set. But with her son about to be taken away, her only hope lay with Ye Leng’an.

“What is it? Spit it out.”

Impatient with Li Yiran’s indecision, Ye Leng’an urged, “If you stopped me just to stay silent, then take your time! I won’t wait around.”

“Wait.” Li Yiran quickly composed herself, pleading,” Ye Leng’an, please help me. You’re my only hope now.”

“I’ve made myself clear.” Ye Leng’an shook her head, indifferent. “This isn’t my concern. I won’t meddle.”

Furthermore, she didn’t consider herself and Li Yiran close enough to warrant intervention. In fact, their relations.h.i.+p had never been amicable. Ye Leng’an believed refraining from causing further harm was already a kindness.
