Ye Leng’an’s actions and voice instantly snapped Murong Yung back to reality, though there was still a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Nevertheless, being from a prominent family, Murong Yung quickly composed herself. She turned to Ye Leng’an with a faint smile and continued speaking, “Junior Sister Ye, I never expected to run into you here. It truly seems like fate! Although I’ve heard your na ntioned many tis back at school, we’ve never had the chance to et. It’s quite unexpected to cross paths here in this small town.”
“Senior Sister Murong, do you believe this is fate?” Ye Leng’an smirked slightly. “You seem to have forgotten why you wanted to find . Have you truly forgotten the reason?”
These words caused Murong Yung to falter.
Clearly, she now rembered the recent event and was well aware that Ye Leng’an and her companion had witnessed everything.
“Junior Sister Ye, please don’t misunderstand.” Murong Yung regained her composure and smiled. “Since you’re already aware of everything, there’s no need for further explanation. I ca here solely for that suite. Can you accommodate ? Of course, I’ll compensate you generously – double the room rate, plus arrange another suite for you. If you have any other requests, feel free to ask. If it’s within my ans, I’ll do my best to fulfill them.”
There was no hint of arrogance in her tone, nor did she attempt to bully others. Instead, her attitude was remarkably humble. Hence, despite sharing the sa objective as Xiao Lingling, to outsiders, she didn’t appear in the wrong.
Ye Leng’an smiled and responded without hesitation, “Since Senior Sister Murong has expressed yourself sincerely, I shall respond in kind. That’s not possible.”
Before Murong Yung could interject, Xiao Lingling couldn’t hold back any longer. “You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Not only Xiao Lingling but also the other young masters and misses from Murong Yung’s entourage wore unfavorable expressions. When they looked at Ye Leng’an, their gazes were filled with hostility. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting and Murong Yung’s silent reprimand, they might have intervened earlier.
No one present expected Ye Leng’an to outright refuse Murong Yung.
After all, Murong Yung had already humbled herself. Ye Leng’an could have easily agreed to relinquish the room, satisfying everyone. Yet, contrary to expectations, she unhesitatingly declined.
Especially considering Murong Yung’s distinguished background as a mber of the Murong family, Ye Leng’an showed no fear of offending anyone.
Murong Yung appeared montarily stunned, unable to comprehend. “Are you rejecting ?”
“Yes,” Ye Leng’an affird with a smile. “What? Senior Sister Murong, are you negotiating with or trying to coerce ?”
She completely disregarded Xiao Lingling, directing her gaze solely at Murong Yung. It was evident she didn’t take Xiao Lingling seriously, treating her as nothing more than a re distraction.
Xiao Lingling’s expression soured further, but constrained by the public setting, she remained silent, standing sullenly by.
“I didn’t intend that.” Murong Yung’s smile appeared strained. “Since Junior Sister Ye disagrees, we won’t force the issue.”
“In that case, we’ll take our leave.” Ye Leng’an clasped Huangfu Ruiling’s hand and waved at Murong Yung, smiling. “Goodbye.”
Without waiting for Murong Yung’s response, Ye Leng’an left the hostay with Huangfu Ruiling.
Murong Yung, left behind in her spot, wore a smile that seed particularly strained, her eyes clouded with gloom. If it weren’t for the presence of so many people, perhaps she would have lost her composure long ago.
Observing Murong Yung’s deanor, Xiao Lingling dared not speak.
Being Murong Yung’s follower, she understood her temperant well. Thus, she knew Murong Yung’s outward kindness belied her true nature.
After a while, Murong Yung remained stationary, prompting Xiao Lingling to cautiously ask, “Senior Sister Murong, what should we do now?”
The others didn’t step forward to speak to Murong Yung, so she had no choice but to approach her herself. After all, she was the one with the lowest status here. If she further upset anyone, she genuinely feared being sent back.
Murong Yung cast a cold glance at Xiao Lingling before speaking, “What do you think? Should we not secure a room yet? Do you expect us to spend the night in the lobby?”
Without hesitation, Xiao Lingling promptly responded, “Senior Sister, I’ll book a room right away.”
With that, she hurried to the counter to arrange for accommodations.
“Yung, do you know Ye Leng’an?” Xiao Xueqing, another mber of their group, and the young lady of the Xiao family from the capital, approached Murong Yung with a hint of discontent. It was directed at Ye Leng’an, not Murong Yung.
“She’s a junior from our school.”
Murong Yung’s deanor softened compared to her earlier interaction with Xiao Lingling. She appeared sowhat lancholic. “Though we’ve never t, she probably doesn’t hold a favorable impression of .”
“Is it because of the school belle competition?”
Having gleaned so information from their conversation, Xiao Xueqing’s tone was tinged with disdain. “Judging by her deanor, she’s likely not from a prominent family in the capital. Coming from a humble background, her vision is indeed limited. I wonder what kind of benefactor she’s found to secure the most luxurious suite here.”
As Xiao Xueqing spoke, many couldn’t help but think of the distinguished man who stood beside Ye Leng’an earlier, eliciting fluttering hearts from the girls present.
“Xueqing, refrain from baseless remarks.”
Murong Yung shook her head gently, cautioning Xiao Xueqing. “Without knowing the truth, we shouldn’t tarnish soone’s reputation.”
