Chapter 148 Expansion

"Mother still has something to do," Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Xiyuan suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

He was very surprised that Ye Xiyuan suddenly found Murong Yanshu. Moreover, although my mother was amiable when facing Ye Xiyuan, there was some aura that couldn't be concealed. My mother is the head mistress of the Nangong family, so even if she could restrain herself, she would still feel uncomfortable.

"No, I just think that Auntie is very kind, and I still want to have a good chat with her! That's why I just wanted to ask." Ye Xiyuan had a concealed smile on her face, and a glimmer of gloom flashed in her eyes, "Since Auntie has something to do, I still don't bother."

Right now, Murong Yanshu's favorability towards her has not yet reached the system's requirements, and her task has not been completed yet. If she didn't see anyone for the rest of the night, wouldn't her mission tonight be a failure. If the mission fails this time, she will lose her intelligence points.

The National Mathematics Olympiad is about to start, if her intelligence points decrease, it will be very difficult to win the championship. Moreover, there is Ye Leng'an in front of him now. Although she was full of disgust for Ye Leng'an, she had to admit that Ye Leng'an was indeed the biggest stumbling block on her way to first place in the Olympiad.

If the mission fails this time, then the mission of her first place in the Mathematical Olympiad will definitely be affected.

Thinking of these, she couldn't help but feel a little irritable. Moreover, she couldn't make Nangong Xuyao see anything strange.

"I didn't expect you to like my mother so much!" Nangong Xuyao was a little surprised, and then said with a smile, "Usually even my cousins would feel a little bit of pressure when they get along with their mother. I didn't expect that you would want to have a good chat with my mother. It seems that you and my mother are really destined, and my mother will be very happy when she finds out."

"Auntie is your mother, so I naturally like her very much." When she said this, Ye Xiyuan couldn't help but blushed, and her voice became softer, "Besides, I also hope that Auntie can like me."

Seeing the blush on Ye Xiyuan's cheeks, Nangong Xuyao's eyes suddenly softened, "Well, mother will like you."

He had already planned in his heart that he would take Ye Xiyuan to find his mother later when he had an opportunity. Only after getting along with each other will mother know what kind of girl Xiyuan is. As long as she gets to know Xiyuan, mother will definitely like Xiyuan too. At that time, if he wants to date Xiyuan, he will most likely get his mother's support.

Of course, he didn't tell Ye Xiyuan these things, because he wasn't sure if his mother would have time later, so that Xiyuan wouldn't be disappointed.

Actually, if possible, he also hopes to be able to directly declare the status of the girl he likes like Huangfu Ruiling, without asking for anyone's consent at all. He just needs to do whatever he wants and give the girl he likes the greatest sense of security.

However, he was unable to do this, because his situation was completely different from that of Huangfu Ruiling. Huangfu Ruiling already had great power in his hands, so he didn't need to take anyone's opinion into consideration. But he is different, although he is also the young master, but now the power of the Nangong family is still in the hands of his father. Moreover, those cousins are all watching, waiting for him to make mistakes so that he can replace him.

Therefore, he must think twice about everything he does, and he must be cautious in every step he takes. This is also doomed, there are many things that he cannot do as he pleases.

Even though he likes Ye Xiyuan now, that kind of liking has not reached the point where she is absolutely necessary. He really wants to have further ideas with Ye Xiyuan now, and even if things go well, he once had the idea of wanting to spend his whole life with Ye Xiyuan.

However, he will not fight against the family for Ye Xiyuan. Because compared to Ye Xiyuan, the power of the family is more important to him. So, now he wants to draw it slowly.

Ye Xiyuan didn't know what Nangong Xuyao was thinking at the moment. She was a little annoyed, but she changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Nangong, the people from the Huangfu family came just now, didn't they? Why didn't you accompany them?"

She didn't know much about the members of the Huangfu family. The level of the Ye family is not qualified to win the four major families. If it wasn't for saving Nangong Xuyao, she wouldn't be qualified to join the Nangong family.

"On such an occasion, I don't need to accompany you."

During the conversation, Nangong Xuyao glanced at Ye Xiyuan, thought for a while, and said, "Not only the Patriarchs of the Huangfu family are here, but Huangfu Ruiling is also here, and"

He felt that he still needed to tell Ye Xiyuan, after all, the banquet scene was so big, it was easy to bump into it. Rather than meeting them unprepared like that, it is better to get a vaccination in advance. However, Ye Xiyuan interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"Ye Leng'an is here too, isn't he?" Ye Xiyuan blurted out directly.

Nangong Xuyao could mention it on purpose, and it was related to Huangfu Ruiling, so Ye Leng'an was the only one.

"That's right." Nangong Xuyao wasn't surprised that Ye Xiyuan could guess it, "In the past, Huangfu Ruiling never attended these banquets. But today he came here, and announced publicly that Ye Leng'an is his girlfriend."

As for his future wife, he didn't say anything. Because, although Huangfu Ruiling said so, the future is full of variables. Now that the two of them are in a strong relationship, you and I are naturally swearing about the future. However, as long as the two are not married for a day, there are variables.

"What?" Ye Xiyuan was taken aback, and almost couldn't control her expression, but then she realized that her reaction seemed a little outrageous, so she immediately calmed down, forced a smile, and said, "I didn't expect Young Master Huangfu to like Classmate Ye so much, and now he directly swears his sovereignty in front of so many people. Classmate Ye is really lucky!"

She said this, but her heart was extremely jealous of Ye Leng'an. She did not expect that Ye Leng'an's methods were so good that she could coax the young master Huangfu to announce her identity. On the other hand, she had been in an affair with Nangong Xuyao for such a long time, but she had never obtained a clear identity.

Even, it took so long to qualify to participate in the Nangong family banquet. How is she worse than Ye Leng'an? Why does she always lose to Ye Leng'an!

"Who knows if they can make it to the end!" Nangong Xuyao's tone contained a trace of disdain, "Even if you are married, you can still get divorced. Now they are just boyfriend and girlfriend, and they are still full of uncertainty."

After hearing Nangong Xuyao's words, Ye Xiyuan not only did not feel any comfort, but became even more depressed. Anyway, now Ye Leng'an already has a status, but she has nothing, only the name of a friend.

Now that Ye Leng'an has been recognized by the party, Nangong Xuyao said that she is full of uncertainty, so what about her! She doesn't even have a title now, so what is she in Nangong Xuyao's heart!

Nangong Xuyao didn't know what Ye Xiyuan was thinking at this time. He felt that he had already done a lot for Ye Xiyuan. If it wasn't for liking Ye Xiyuan, he wouldn't have planned so many things.

On the other side of the banquet scene, Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling were resting at the side.

Ye Leng'an watched the people at the scene chattering and drinking, while exchanging glasses, you were probing each other, with a boring expression on his face.

"What, do you feel bored?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an's expression, smiled and said, "This is what happens on such occasions, if you feel bored, then let's leave early!"

Originally, he brought Ye Leng'an to the banquet held by the Nangong family today, just to make Ye Leng'an's identity known to the public. Now that the goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter if you continue to stay or not.

"Let's forget it!" After hearing what Huangfu Ruiling said, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I've just arrived not long ago, and I'm about to leave now. Is this just to scare off the master?"

You know, they have just arrived here not long ago, half an hour at most. Leave now, isn't it a joke for people to see!

"They won't have any objections." Huangfu Ruiling said flatly, "So, if you don't like it, let's leave now."

His coming here should have been unexpected by the Nangong family. Even if he leaves now, the Nangong family will not say anything. However, even if they had an opinion, it had nothing to do with him. He has always been indifferent to those who are insignificant.

"Forget it, since you're here, let's have fun!" Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and said with a smile, "But speaking of it, your family's fighting ability is really not good! I thought they would say something, but who knows, they left before it was my turn."

"They are not qualified to dictate my affairs."

When talking about his family, Huangfu Ruiling's tone was very flat, as if talking about ordinary people, "It's just that some people just can't see the reality clearly, and it's stupid enough to want to interfere with my affairs."

Thinking of what Zhong Yuliuying said about the young lady of the Ye family, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes. His mother is probably too busy, so she has time to take care of his affairs. Perhaps, he should find something for her to do.

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an was not surprised, she looked around the banquet.

"What are you looking at?" Noticing Ye Leng'an's actions, Huangfu Ruiling asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

"No, just curiosity." Ye Leng'an shook his head and said, "Tonight is the banquet of the Nangong family, and I just want to see if Ye Xiyuan is here. According to Nangong Xuyao's thoughts on Ye Xiyuan, Ye Xiyuan should also appear at the banquet tonight."

"An'an, you know" Huangfu Ruiling opened his mouth, wanting to tell about Nangong Xuyao's mistaken identification of his savior.

However, he was interrupted just as he started.

"Brother." Huangfu Ruixiang didn't know where he came from. He came to Huangfu Ruiling with a trace of fear in his eyes, "Dad told you to go over there."

He felt that he was really unlucky, and was actually ordered by his father to come and find his elder brother. I don't know why, since he was a child, he has always been afraid of this big brother from the bottom of his heart. It was better in the past, but now the aura of the elder brother is stronger than before.

When facing this big brother, he always has a feeling that he is an ant, as if the other party can crush him to death at any time.

So, many times, he would rather face his majestic father than this big brother.

Being interrupted, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help frowning, and he said directly, "No."

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to tell Ye Lengan and Nangong Xuyao about it. Now that he was interrupted by Huangfu Ruixiang who appeared suddenly, his expression was naturally not much better.

Seeing that Huangfu Ruiling's expression was not very good, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn't help swallowing, and then he said bravely, "Well, big brother, Dad really wants to tell you something, so you can go there!"

Now he just wants to complete the task quickly. He feels that if he continues to stay here, he might even lose his legs after a while!

Huangfu Ruiling frowned even tighter, and when he looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, his eyes were full of impatience. However, before he could speak, a slender catkin was placed on his shoulder.

"Ruiling, you just go!" Ye Leng'an put his right hand on Huangfu Ruiling's shoulder, and then said, "Since your father is looking for you at this time, there must be something urgent. Don't worry, I can stay here by myself."

She is not a little white rabbit. If someone thinks that she is weak because of her appearance, they will suffer a lot.

Huangfu Ruiling naturally understood what Ye Leng'an meant, and he was not worried about Ye Leng'an, because he knew Ye Leng'an's strength very well. He simply didn't want to see Huangfu Jingzhang, but since Ye Leng'an said so, Huangfu Ruiling naturally wouldn't refute her face.

"Li San, push me over." Huangfu Ruiling ordered lightly.

Seeing such a situation, Huangfu Ruixiang's eyeballs were about to drop. What he said was useless at all, and even made Huangfu Ruiling unhappy. But now, Ye Leng'an is just a word, which directly makes Huangfu Ruiling change his mind. Could it be that the heroes from ancient times have been saddened by the beauty pass?

I don't know if it was intentional, or because he didn't care, Huangfu Ruiling didn't ask Huangfu Ruixiang to go with him.

This just suits Huangfu Ruixiang's wishes. It's just an excuse for him to come here to invite Huangfu Ruiling. His main purpose is to make Ye Leng'an safe in front of him.

Looking at the well-dressed girl in front of him, Huangfu Ruixiang's eyes flashed with astonishment, and at the same time felt a trace of regret. What's the use of being beautiful! For a big family like theirs, the most important thing is their origin. This Ye Leng'an, no matter how you look at it, is definitely not close to the door of the Huangfu family.

"Don't you have something to tell me?" Seeing that Huangfu Ruixiang kept silent, Ye Leng'an spoke first, "If you don't, Ruiling will be back soon."

She is not a fool, so she can naturally see that the other party's purpose is to drive Huangfu Ruiling away. However, I didn't expect that after Huangfu Ruiling left, this Huangfu Ruixiang didn't seize the opportunity, but stayed here in a daze, he was really stupid.

"You know?" After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruixiang frowned, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes were filled with a hint of vigilance, "Since you know, why did you let elder brother leave?"

"Why do you have to let him stay?" Ye Leng'an found a chair and sat down, feeling a little more lazy, "Since you want to find time to have a showdown with me, even if it's not today, you will still come later. If that's the case, why don't you settle it today?"

Huangfu Ruixiang was still full of vigilance, he looked at Ye Leng'an, and looked around, "Are you planning to do something secretly?"

For example, recordings, etc., will be handed over to Huangfu Ruiling at that time. That would not only win Huangfu Ruiling's love, but also make Huangfu Ruiling more alienated from their family members.

Seeing Huangfu Ruixiang's expression, Ye Leng'an knew what the other person was thinking, and she felt speechless for a while, "You really think too much, such a good imagination, not being a screenwriter is really a waste."

"Okay, if you have something to say, then speak quickly. If you don't want to say, then leave."

Actually, she wanted to use this type of scrolling more, but in this situation, she felt that it was better for her to restrain herself.

Although Huangfu Ruixiang didn't trust Ye Leng'an, he also said, "Miss Ye, you are very smart. Since you know that I came to you specially, then you should know why I came to you, right?"

Ye Leng'an is right, if he continues to procrastinate, the elder brother will be back soon. It would be bad if there happened to be a showdown between him and Ye Leng'an at that time.

Although she received a task from her parents, she came to persuade Ye Leng'an to break up with Huangfu Ruiling on her own initiative. But, after all, he still didn't want to offend Huangfu Ruiling. Although he is Huangfu Ruiling's younger brother, he can be sure that if Huangfu Ruiling's bottom line is really stepped on, then the other party will definitely attack him without hesitation.

"I don't know." Ye Leng'an spread his hands, with a look of indifference, "So, if you have something to say, just say it! Don't let me guess here and there, I don't like guessing games."

Ye Leng'an's words immediately choked Huangfu Ruixiang, he knew very well that the other party was trying to fool him. But he couldn't say anything, because he really hadn't said anything yet.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, he continued, "Miss Ye, you are a smart girl, so you should be very clear about the purpose of my coming here today, you just don't want to admit it."

"That's right, today my eldest brother admitted that you are his girlfriend in front of so many people, but what does that mean? If you are a girlfriend today, you may not be tomorrow. If you break up by then, you will get nothing."

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruixiang who was standing there, and said with a smile, "Then what do you think I should do? Could it be that I let Ruiling marry me now?"

It was only in front of Huangfu Ruixiang that she dared to say such a thing. Because, she has a very strong premonition. If she talked about her marriage in front of Huangfu Ruiling, she might only say it one second, and Huangfu Ruiling would drag her to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the next second.

As for whether the time and her age have come, for Huangfu Ruiling, there is no obstacle at all.

She is still very young, not even an adult in this life, she doesn't want to marry young.

So, what she said now is just to fool the person in front of her.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruixiang's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Miss Ye, it's not that I look down on your status in my elder brother's heart. Since my elder brother only introduced you as his girlfriend, it means that he has no plans to get married yet. So, even if you propose marriage, he may not necessarily agree."

"Although I said that, what if he agrees?" Ye Leng'an seemed unwilling to give up and said, "Wouldn't it be better then? I think, I just want to mention, whether he agrees or not, I don't seem to have any loss! Speaking of it, I really want to thank you."

"If it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have thought of this. If we really got married, it would be all thanks to you!"

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruixiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He endured the impatience in his heart, and continued to persuade, "Miss Ye, I think you'd better not mention anything about marriage in front of your elder brother. Otherwise, you will annoy him then, and it will be the day you break up."

Although he was very sure in his heart, Huangfu Ruiling would not decide to get married just because of Ye Leng'an's words in front of him. After all, he never thought that Huangfu Ruiling was someone who would get married so easily. Even if he likes Ye Leng'an now, he doesn't know how long he can like it.

However, he didn't dare to bet on the one in ten thousand possibility. If Huangfu Ruiling really lost his mind for a while and married Ye Leng'an. When the time comes, my father will know that it is related to him, so don't kill him!

"Oh, forget it." Ye Leng'an nodded, and immediately changed her mind, as if what she said just now were just random words.

Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruixiang felt that his patience was reaching its limit. He held back the displeasure in his heart, and continued to speak, "Miss Ye, I think that you are approaching elder brother only for profit. As long as you are willing to break up with my elder brother, then how much do you want? As long as you make an offer, we will never counter the price."
