Huangfu Ruiling donned a black tuxedo, while Ye Leng’an wore an elegant white princess dress. The black and white attire created a stark contrast yet seemed remarkably harmonious and complementary. Both of them, with their striking features, looked almost unreal – a truly perfect couple.

“Master, Miss Ye.” Grand Elder Huangfu Changmao approached, radiating a joyful smile. “You’re here! Congratulations! Today is indeed a joyous occasion for both of you!”

The other three elders followed suit, offering their congratulations.

Normally, Huangfu Ruiling wore a stoic expression. However, today, an uncommon smile adorned his face, softening his usually icy demeanor. It made him appear more approachable.

Observing this amiable side of Huangfu Ruiling, many approached to extend their well-wishes.

Huangfu Ruiling appeared to be in exceptionally high spirits today, responding with a continuous smile to those who came to congratulate him.

In a corner, Huangfu Ruixiang witnessed the scene nearby, feeling a sense of discomfort.

Even though he had gained the qualification to attend today’s engagement ceremony, there were few here at the banquet who truly regarded him with respect. Despite being the younger brother of Huangfu Ruiling, not many took the initiative to approach and greet him.

He sensed that he didn’t quite fit into the atmosphere.

However, even so, he chose to stay. Standing there made him feel markedly different from before. In the past, he lacked the qualification to attend such grand events hosted by the Huangfu family. At least, not every inner sect disciple had the privilege to participate in the family head’s engagement ceremony.

At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang remained unaware that his inclusion in the engagement ceremony was merely for convenience. Adding one more person wouldn’t impact the ceremony, so Huangfu Ruiling didn’t mind.

After some exchanges, the time for the ceremony approached. Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an prepared to step forward.

Suddenly, a couple entered from outside, instantly casting a chill over the previously lively atmosphere.

The unexpected guests were none other than Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu.

Observing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s arrival, Ye Leng’an’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion. She moved closer to Huangfu Ruiling and asked softly, “Ling, didn’t you tell me before that you didn’t plan to invite the Ye family?”

Why had Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu come?

Huangfu Ruiling’s smile vanished, his eyes briefly showing a hint of darkness as he replied quietly, “We did not send an invitation to the Ye family.”

“So, they came uninvited!” Ye Leng’an hesitated for a moment before furrowing her brows. “What are they doing here on such a day?”

She couldn’t believe they had come to attend her engagement ceremony.

During their time in the Ye family, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had already chosen Ye Wanwan. It was unrealistic for them to come for her on such a day, especially without an invitation.

After hearing a disciple’s report, the Grand Elder promptly informed Huangfu Ruiling of the situation.

“What happened?” Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruiling. “They are…”

Huangfu Ruiling’s expression darkened as he explained, “Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu came directly to the door. They insisted on coming in. Since they are guests, and today is our day, those servants didn’t want any trouble, so they had to let Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu in.”

While they were talking, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had arrived in front of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.

Lian Mengzhu looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of her, her eyes somewhat moist.

This was her daughter, her biological daughter. They hadn’t spent a day together, and now she was about to get married. Yet, as her biological mother, she couldn’t even openly offer blessings on such a day.

The thought filled her with immense sorrow, and simultaneously, her resentment toward Lian Zixin deepened. If not for Lian Zixin, they wouldn’t be strangers on such an important day.

Ye Hongxuan’s emotions were complicated. He forced a smile and sincerely wished, “Master Huangfu, Leng’an, congratulations.”

He couldn’t articulate his current feelings, but he knew that being unable to attend his biological daughter’s engagement ceremony as a father would be a lifelong regret.

Huangfu Ruiling’s expression remained unchanged. It was as if he hadn’t seen the inner struggles of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. He nodded and said, “Thank you, Master Ye. Please help yourself!”

With that, he pulled Ye Leng’an along, ready to leave.

Ye Leng’an was also cooperative, showing no intention of staying to face Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu.

She never expected Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu to come directly without an invitation.

The surrounding guests couldn’t help but look over.

They had heard that the Huangfu family hadn’t sent an invitation to the Ye family. Therefore, no one expected someone from the Ye family to come, especially Ye Hongxuan, the family head.

Was the information they received earlier false?

Regardless, they weren’t fools. They could sense that the atmosphere here seemed peculiar.

There were rumors before that the Huangfu and Ye families had a falling out due to the Family Competition. Now, it seemed like those rumors were untrue. Or perhaps, the Ye family had hurried over because of the Family Competition, seeking reconciliation with the Huangfu family?

Lian Mengzhu paid no attention to what outsiders thought. Her heart and gaze were fixed on Ye Leng’an. Seeing Ye Leng’an about to leave with Huangfu Ruiling, she quickly called out, “Leng’an, can you stay for a while and talk to me?”

A polite smile appeared on Ye Leng’an’s face. She then said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Ye. I’m the main character today, so I really don’t have time to chat with you. Please forgive me for my lack of hospitality.”

She felt there was nothing to discuss with Lian Mengzhu.
