Chapter 912: Successful Registration

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the courtyard, despite the passage of time since Ye Wanwan’s departure, Ye Yikun remained seated with a tranquil demeanor, resembling an ordinary elderly man enjoying his twilight years. Yet, the glint of ambition and desire in his eyes hinted at complexities beneath the surface.

Suddenly, Ye Yikun clutched his chest, a pained expression crossing his face. Gritting his teeth, he retrieved a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it hastily.

If Ye Wanwan were here, she would surely recognize the similarity between the pill Ye Yikun took and the ones he had given her earlier. However, this pill exuded a more dominating and potent aura.

After a while, Ye Yikun’s expression returned to normal. He sighed deeply, a glint of determination in his eyes. “The effects of the medicine are waning. It seems we must expedite the plan.”

Time passed swiftly. In the blink of an eye, three days had elapsed. Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an once again arrived at the ancestral residence of the Huangfu family. Today marked the day to add Huangfu Zihao to the family tree under Zhong Yating’s name.

Upon reaching the ancestral mansion, they found everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Among them, Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating stood out, both adorned in resplendent attire. Especially Zhong Yating, who, due to her incomplete recovery, had applied a touch of makeup to ensure a healthy complexion.

Perhaps due to the significance of the day, Zhong Yating wore a perpetual smile, radiating joy.

In stark contrast, Li Yiran appeared worn out, her eyes bloodshot even under heavy makeup. Though merely three days had passed, she seemed to have aged considerably.

Li Yiran’s gaze bore into Zhong Yating with hostility. Were looks lethal, Zhong Yating would have been eviscerated long ago.

These three days had been torment for Li Yiran. Seeking Li Yi’s assistance, she aimed to prove Zhong Yating’s recent act of saving Huangfu Jingzhang’s life as deceit. Only then could she expel Zhong Yating and retain custody of her child.

However, investigations yielded despairing results – it was truly an accident, not a scheme.

Li Yiran once thought about fabricating evidence, but she recoiled at the thought of the Huangfu family’s omnipotence. She dared not act rashly, fearing premature exposure and consequent expulsion.

As long as she remained within the Huangfu family, there was hope of reclaiming her son. Furthermore, she could vigilantly monitor Zhong Yating’s treatment of her child and intervene if necessary.

Reluctantly, Li Yiran accepted the outcome – Huangfu Zihao was officially recognized as Zhong Yating’s son, inscribed in the family records.

Upon seeing her name followed by Huangfu Zihao’s, Zhong Yating couldn’t suppress a triumphant smile.

Though the child’s biological mother was Li Yiran, Zhong Yating’s elation remained undiminished. With no prospect of future pregnancies, the child secured her position within the family.

Moreover, the child was too young to recall his biological mother. As long as she raised him well, he would regard her as his true mother.

Exiting the ancestral hall, Zhong Yating already held the child in her arms.

Huangfu Ruixiang stood beside Zhong Yating, occasionally casting affectionate glances at the child.

At first glance, they appeared as a blissful family of three, evoking smiles and envy from onlookers.

Except for Li Yiran.

Observing the tender scene, she felt a pang of bitterness. She should have been the one holding the child, not Zhong Yating.

Ye Leng’an, who had been observing silently, nudged Huangfu Ruiling. “Do you think the future between Huangfu Ruixiang and his two women will be tumultuous?”

Given the current tension, the future seemed predictable. Li Yiran’s heart brimmed with resentment; unrest was inevitable. Zhong Yating was no pushover; she had mounted a formidable counterattack.

Trapped between these two women, Huangfu Ruixiang’s fate was sealed.

“That’s Huangfu Ruixiang’s own doing,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked indifferently. “He courted both of them and must bear the consequences.”

Ye Leng’an chuckled. “You really are detached. If Huangfu Ruixiang knew of your words, he might just weep.”

Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “There’s no brotherly bond between us. Whether he weeps or not is of no concern to me.”

Ye Leng’an was momentarily speechless. Taking Huangfu Ruiling’s arm, she suggested, “Well, today’s matters are settled. Shall we go on a date? I’ve taken the day off for this.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes softened. “Where would you like to go?”

After a moment’s thought, Ye Leng’an proposed, “The weather’s pleasant. How about a countryside outing?”

Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t refuse her request. His face lit up. “Sure!”

Soon, the two departed for a romantic outing, leaving Zhong Yating and Li Yiran envious.

However, their envy was fleeting. Locking eyes, they exchanged a fiery glance.
