Chapter 1035: Dowry
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an enjoyed peaceful days together, their relationship stronger than ever.
As Ye Leng’an’s 20th birthday approached, so did their wedding day.
After discussing, they agreed to have two weddings—one in the Hidden World and one in the mortal world. Given Huangfu Ruiling’s prominent status in both realms, their union was bound to attract attention.
Moreover, Huangfu Ruiling wanted to make sure Ye Leng’an had the most spectacular wedding possible, ensuring everyone knew she was his wife. So, two ceremonies were a must.
They decided to start with a wedding in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family before returning to the mortal world for the second celebration.
A month before Ye Leng’an’s twentieth birthday, they returned to the Hidden World’s Huangfu family.
The mont they arrived, they were greeted by a vibrant sea of red, lanterns, strears, and ribbons adorned every corner. The air buzzed with festive energy, and everyone wore joyful smiles.
With everything arranged, Ye Leng’an, as the bride-to-be, had little to do. Yet, tradition dictated that the couple couldn’t et the day before the wedding. Despite not believing in such customs, Huangfu Ruiling agreed for the sake of tradition.
Ye Leng’an hadn’t even rested yet when a servant ca over, saying that Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu had arrived, and they were insisting on seeing her or they wouldn’t leave.
Such a threat didn’t faze Ye Leng’an. But she was curious to see what Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu were up to and wanted to set things straight with them. So she had soone bring them in first.
As they entered the courtyard, Ye Leng’an remained seated, sipping tea casually. Despite their arrival, she showed no intention of standing up, leaving Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu slightly taken aback.
“Please, have a seat.” Ye Leng’an gestured to the chairs across from her.
Without hesitation, Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu took their seats. They had been eyeing Ye Leng’an, knowing this was a rare chance to see their daughter without fear.
As Ye Leng’an served them hot tea, she got straight to the point. “So, you insisted on seeing . Now that you’re here, speak your mind. Tomorrow’s my wedding day, and I need my rest. I don’t have ti for idle chitchat.”
Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu winced at Ye Leng’an’s blunt words. They knew they’d brought this on themselves.
“Leng’an, we…” Lian ngzhu began carefully. “Tomorrow’s your big day. We ca to bring you so dowry.”
With that, Ye Hongxuan placed a bag on the table. “It’s just a small token of our appreciation. Nothing fancy. We hope you’ll accept it as a blessing.” Even though he said that, what was inside the storage bag was already the best they could prepare at the mont.
Inside were high-grade pills, spirit stones, precious plants, and gems—a generous gift they couldn’t afford when Ye Wanwan got married.
They’d heard about the wedding preparations when Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling returned. They knew Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an were back for the wedding. With all the buzz about the Huangfu family lately, it seed like everyone knew.
But they didn’t dare to show up uninvited. They’d abandoned Ye Leng’an for their adopted daughter, Ye Wanwan, multiple tis. Plus, Ye Leng’an almost died because of their father.
Yet, as the wedding approached, they couldn’t resist coming. They didn’t expect Ye Leng’an to reconsider marrying into the Ye family. They ca to deliver the dowry they’d prepared. Even though they wouldn’t even have a place at the parents’ table at Ye Leng’an’s wedding, they still wanted to show their daughter they cared.
No matter what, she was their biological daughter, and they felt they owed her a lot. This dowry couldn’t make up for it.
So, they showed up here today.
Seeing the bag, Ye Leng’an used her divine sense to inspect its contents. Then, she looked at her parents with a smile that didn’t seem genuine. “You can take it back. I don’t need it.”
“Why?” Lian ngzhu blurted out, catching herself too late. “We know you don’t like us, but we’re not asking for gratitude. We just want to show kindness.”
Ye Hongxuan sighed. “This is your dowry. Marriage is more than love, it’s about security. We’re not doubting Huangfu Ruiling’s intentions, but we want you to have options.”
