In their usual encounters, he rarely had the opportunity to meet Huangfu Ruiling. Furthermore, even if he tried to visit him in person, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t agree to see him. Given the current circumstances, and with Huangfu Ruiling about to assume the position of the family head in the Huangfu family, finding a chance to talk to him in the future would be even more challenging.
So, after much consideration, he felt that today might be his best opportunity. In the end, he summoned the courage to approach.
Clearly, Huangfu Ruiling had no intention of a private conversation. He spoke directly, “If you have something to say, just say it!’
“Yes!” Ye Leng’an’s eyes sparkled mischievously. She cleared her throat, gazing at Huangfu Ruiling, and playfully cooed, “Darling, you wouldn’t hide anything from me, would you?”
That melodious voice sent shivers down her own spine.
Huangfu Ruilings eyes revealed a hint of fondness. Suppressing a smile, he replied, “Of course not.”
“Darling, I always knew you were the best to me.” Ye Lengan leaned down and planted a sweet kiss on Huangfu Ruilings cheek. “Consider this a reward for
This unexpected delight brightened Huangfu Ruilings eyes. He felt that rewards like this could come more than once!
For some reason, Nangong Xuyao found this sight somewhat annoying.
Previously, due to Ye Xiyuan’s deception, he had harbored no goodwill towards Ye Lengan. Now that he knew the true nature of Ye Xiyuan, the disdain he had felt because of her had dissipated. Nevertheless, he still didn’t hold a favorable opinion of Ye Leng’an.
In his view, Ye Lengan was merely attached to Huangfu Ruiling, and thus, he didn’t accord her much respect.
Of course, he wouldn’t openly display his disdain in front of Huangfu Ruiling. After all, Ye Lengan still held a place in Huangfu Ruilings heart. One must consider the master’s feelings!
“Young Master Huangfu, in that case, I’ll get straight to the point.” After pondering for a moment, Nangong Xuyao decided to speak, “Do you happen to know who saved me?”
Strangely, no matter how hard he investigated, he couldn’t determine who had rescued him in that alley. He suspected that someone had intentionally covered up this fact, and the most likely person to have done so was Huangfu Ruiling. After all, only Huangfu Ruiling knew that Ye Xiyuan wasn’t his savior and was aware of the true identity of his benefactor.
He simply couldn’t fathom why Huangfu Ruiling would do this.
“Wasn’t your savior Ye Xiyuan?” Huangfu Ruilings lips curved into a sardonic smile. “Nangong Xuyao, weren’t you adamant about that initially? Why the sudden change in your line of inquiry?”
“Young Master Huangfu, my previous behavior was impolite.” Nangong
Xuyao’s face betrayed a hint of embarrassment. “l had misunderstood. Ye Xiyuan didn’t save me. 1 truly wish to know who my benefactor was and hope that Young Master Huangfu can enlighten me. Moreover, I wish to express my gratitude in person for saving my life.”
“Does it truly matter to you whether you know or not?” Huangfu Ruilings tone turned icy as he continued, “Or is Young Master Nangong planning to reenact a scene of repaying a life debt with his own body, just as you did with Ye Xiyuan in the past?”
Huangfu Ruilings mention of repaying a life debt with one’s body sent a chill down Nangong Xuyao’s spine. He hastily spoke up, “Young Master Huangfu, since someone saved my life, I believe I have the right to know their identity.
As for how I intend to express my gratitude, that’s a matter for me to decide!”
He couldn’t comprehend why, but whenever he broached the subject of his benefactor, Huangfu Ruiling always seemed to exude a subtle animosity. However, upon reflection, it seemed highly implausible. After all, even if Huangfu Ruiling knew the identity of his savior, there shouldn’t be any reason for him to harbor ill will. This was because the fact that the other person had saved his life had nothing to do with Huangfu Ruling.
“You may wish to meet the other party, but the other party might not desire the same,” Huangfu Ruiling replied coldly to Nangong Xuyao. “Furthermore, you’ve already settled the medical expenses, so you’re even. There’s no necessity for a face-to-face meeting..’!
