Worried that Ye Leng’an might expose Ye Wanwan’s true identity, potentially jeopardizing the marriage between the Ye family and the Murong family, Ye Yikun wasted no ti. Shortly after Ye Leng’an’s departure, a clarification statent was promptly issued.
The release of this clarification statent caused quite a stir in the Hidden World. Given the Ye family’s prior silence on the matter, many had assud the allegations were true. The swift turnaround ca as a surprise to many.
Questions arose as to why the Ye family had not clarified matters earlier if they were rely rumors. Moreover, the recent influx of benefits from other families to the Ye family fueled speculation. Why had the Ye family stayed silent until now?
Conversations buzzed about potential ulterior motives behind the scenes. However, with the Ye family’s clarification, and Ye Leng’an maintaining silence throughout, the situation remained shrouded in mystery.
Since the Ye family’s statent, there had been no further developnts. The true nature of the situation remained a puzzle.
At the ti of the Ye family’s announcent, Ye Leng’an was with Huangfu Ruiling. Unsurprised by the news, she said, “Ye Yikun acted swiftly! Within a day, the matter has been clarified.”
Amused by this, Huangfu Ruiling quirked an eyebrow. “Or perhaps he fears you’ll speak recklessly, tarnishing the Ye family’s reputation, and endangering Ye Wanwan’s wedding.”
“I believe that’s the most plausible explanation.” Ye Leng’an smiled wryly. “It seems quite simple now for the Ye family to clarify things.”
It ultimately depended on their willingness to do so.
“With the Ye family’s recent statent, you’ll never return to them.” Huangfu Ruiling observed solemnly.
Given the Ye family’s public disassociation from Ye Leng’an, it seed unlikely she would ever be welcod back. Ye Yikun’s prioritization of the family’s reputation and interests, coupled with the compelled statent, likely left a bitter taste.
Therefore, unless Ye Leng’an could bring significant benefits or Ye Yikun passed away, a return to the Ye family was improbable.
“That’s probably for the best.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “I anticipated this outco when I approached Ye Yikun. I have no desire to be associated with the Ye family. This suits fine.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “Are you certain?”
“Don’t tell you think I harbor feelings for Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu?” Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruiling oddly. “I thought you understood by now. My so-called biological parents are no more to than strangers!”
“I understand.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then added, “I’m simply concerned you might regret your decision one day.”
He could see through Ye Leng’an’s current mindset, but he feared potential future regrets.
“I won’t.” Ye Leng’an’s smile was resolute. “I’ve chosen this path, and I’ll see it through, even if it ans kneeling. Besides, I don’t consider them parents.”
Observing Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling refrained from further comnt. Instead, he reached out and grasped her hand. “Whatever path you choose, I’ll stand by you.”
Touched by Huangfu Ruiling’s sincerity, Ye Leng’an chuckled. “I know. And I truly have no feelings for my supposed parents, so you needn’t worry. Besides…”
Her smile brightened as she continued, “You know just how much I’ve been through. That’s why I’m not as fragile as you might think.”
It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say she had no expectations for her so-called biological parents. She simply wasn’t the sa girl from her first life, yearning for familial affection.
If, from the mont she learned the truth, Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu had firmly stood by her side without hesitation or excessive pity for Ye Wanwan, she might have been able to accept them as her parents now.
Sadly, it seed Ye Wanwan’s position as their adopted daughter held greater significance in Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu’s hearts. She felt no need to vie for their attention with Ye Wanwan, for obtaining affection through manipulation wasn’t genuine.
Such impurity was sothing she wanted no part of.
Especially when, despite knowing it was Ye Wanwan’s biological mother who had swapped them, Ye Hongxuan and Lian ngzhu still insisted on keeping Ye Wanwan by their side. At that mont, she knew her bond with them was shallow indeed.
Given this, she saw no reason to continue entangling herself. Besides, she was above it.
Recalling the experiences Ye Leng’an had shared, Huangfu Ruiling looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes. “You can be vulnerable, you know. I’ll always be here for you to rely on.”
Unable to contain herself, Ye Leng’an burst into laughter. “Why so serious all of a sudden? You’re overthinking it. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m genuinely grateful to fate. I’ve always considered myself fortunate. After all, it’s rare to have the chance to restart one’s life like I did! And it’s these experiences that have shaped who I am now!”
Without her experiences in the cultivation world in her second life, she couldn’t have lived as freely as she did now, even with a rebirth.
So, regardless of the experiences, she saw them all as gifts from fate.
