The subsequent discussion unfolded smoothly, with Zhongyu Liuying predominantly leading while Huangfu Jingzhang occasionally added a comment or two. Huangfu Ruixiang, despite being directly involved, seemed preoccupied and offered no objections, if not entirely absent-minded.

Zhong Yating, having learned her lesson, remained silent, fearing reprimand from Zhongyu Liuying. More so, she dreaded any potential complications arising from her impending marriage to Huangfu Ruixiang.

Observing the proceedings, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but smirk sardonically.

Judging from the current situation, it seemed that aside from Zhong Yating, no one anticipated this wedding. Especially Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, who wore their discontent almost palpably.

Moreover, Li Yiran likely remained oblivious to the situation. Once she found out, it would likely spark further chaos.

In less than thirty minutes, virtually all wedding details had been hashed out. One could hardly call this a simple affair; it was more aptly described as modest.

Yet, despite the circumstances, Zhong Yating found solace in the wedding date, set just a week away.

Aware of Huangfu Ruixiang’s parents’ discontent, Zhong Yating saw the simple wedding as a display of dominance. Hence, her priority was to solidify the marriage quickly to avoid complications.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, though present, remained silent throughout the proceedings.

On the journey back, Ye Leng’an quipped, “Ling, what exactly were we there for? Huangfu Ruixiang’s marriage is their business; you didn’t need to go back!”

“It’s just an excuse,” Huangfu Ruiling replied nonchalantly. “It’s for Huangfu Ruixiang and me to strengthen our brotherly bond.”

Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but marvel, “They sure know how to manipulate. But your parents are really putting pressure on Zhong Yating! This modest wedding can’t compare to the usual ones. Zhong Yating is surprisingly patient; she has no objections at all.”

“It’s almost like she’s staking her life on this wedding; she won’t give up,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked matter-of-factly. “Even without the ceremony, as long as she marries Huangfu Ruixiang, she’ll agree.”

“That’s true.” Ye Leng’an nodded, then smirked. “Li Yiran still has no clue! When she finds out, she’ll cause quite a scene!”

“She’ll find out soon enough,” Huangfu Ruiling said calmly.

“What?” Ye Leng’an was taken aback. “How do you know? Are you planning to tell her?”

“No need,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, smiling. “Someone will inform Li Yiran.”

Ye Leng’an was puzzled, but then it dawned on her, and she chuckled. “You mean Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, right? They’re likely to do something like that.”

After all, they were dissatisfied with Huangfu Ruixiang’s marriage. If not for Huangfu Ruixiang’s insistence, this discussion wouldn’t have happened.

However, it didn’t mean Huangfu Ruixiang was content with the arrangement; he was simply resigned to it.

Li Yiran had been raised by Zhongyu Liuying since childhood, so her character was well-known. Zhongyu Liuying knew that if Li Yiran learned of Huangfu Ruixiang’s marriage, she would likely cause trouble. Ruining the marriage would be ideal.

Even if they couldn’t derail the wedding, irking Zhong Yating would suffice.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “They’re being coerced into agreeing to the marriage, so it won’t go smoothly.”

“True.” Ye Leng’an agreed. “Even if Li Yiran learns that Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying deliberately revealed the news, she won’t hold back. After all, even if she bore a son, she couldn’t marry Huangfu Ruixiang. But now he’s marrying someone equally powerless.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then turned to Ye Leng’an with a faint smile. “An’an, remember our bet?”

Hearing this, Ye Leng’an momentarily froze but quickly recovered. “Of course, I do.”

If not for Huangfu Ruiling’s reminder, she might have forgotten. It had been a while, and much had happened.

“Great.” Huangfu Ruiling naturally noticed that she had completely forgotten about it, but he certainly couldn’t say it directly. Otherwise, he feared she might become embarrassed and angry, and he wasn’t sure how to comfort her then.

“Fair enough.” Ye Leng’an patted her chest and spoke, “After the wedding next week, our bet will be considered settled. At that time, feel free to make your request!”

She knew that even if Li Yiran caused a scene, the marriage would prevail. Zhong Yating had gambled her life on this marriage; she wouldn’t back out now. Otherwise, given today’s circumstances, she would have ended it long ago.

And with Huangfu Ruixiang’s indebtedness, he wouldn’t renege on his promise.

Regardless of the outcome, the end result would be the same.

Amused by Ye Leng’an’s confident demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling reached out and tousled her hair. “No rush. I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know when I do, okay?”

“Sure thing,” Ye Leng’an replied, rolling her eyes. “But don’t keep me waiting forever! We have a three-month deadline; if you don’t act by then, the bet’s off.”
