Chapter 588: Reaping What You Sow

“No,” Ye Wanwan instinctively retorted.

Even though she was genuinely inflating the price with malice, she couldn’t utter such words aloud, especially now that Ye An’an had dragged the Huangfu family into the picture. She wasn’t foolish and certainly wouldn’t spill the truth.

“In that case, you must genuinely want this Seven Star Flower,” continued Ye Lengan. “l refrained from bidding against you, and I even gave you the flower. What more do you have to complain about? Shouldn’t you be thanking me now? In such a situation, isn’t expressing grat.i.tude the appropriate response?”

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Wanwan could hardly believe her ears. She had paid a steep price to secure the Seven Star Flower, and the one responsible for all of this was Ye An’an. Yet now, Ye An’an was shamelessly boasting and expecting grat.i.tude from her.

“Miss Ye, why be so confrontational?” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t bear it any longer and stepped forward. “Tonight was indeed Wanwan’s mistake, but she has already been taught a lesson. Why press on like this? Being lenient is a virtue,”

Although he also wanted Wanwan to learn a lesson from this incident, witnessing Ye Leng’an’s aggressive behavior and Wanwan’s seemingly trapped position made him uncomfortable. Thus, he couldn’t help but speak up. Furthermore, he genuinely disapproved of Ye Leng’an’s conduct.

Before Ye Lengan could respond, the silent Huangfu Ruiling spoke up,

“Master Ye, which statement from my fiancée do you find confrontational? We are not fools; we understand why your daughter spent a hefty sum to acquire this Seven Star Flower. Sometimes, when you make a mistake, you have to face the consequences, right? Instead of consistently blaming others. Perhaps Master Ye should take the time to properly guide your daughter. Tonight is a minor matter. If she stirs up more significant trouble in the future, you may not be able to clean up after her indefinitely.”

His words left Ye Hongxuan feeling ashamed. Despite both being heads of prestigious families, the age difference was considerable. Being reprimanded by a much younger junior was undeniably embarra.s.sing. Yet, the facts presented were irrefutable, leaving him unable to counter.

In the end, Ye Hongxuan could only leave with Ye Wanwan, wearing a defeated expression.

Watching their departure, Ye Lengan gave Huangfu Ruiling a thumbs-up.

“Ling, I didn’t expect your eloquence! You rendered him speechless. Impressive.”

Despite her praise, she acknowledged that Ye Hongxuan’s inability to counter was not just due to the reasonability of Huangfu Ruilings words. A crucial factor was Huangfu Ruiling being the head of the Huangfu family. Otherwise, had an ordinary person uttered those words, Ye Hongxuan would likely have reacted with indignation, perhaps even hostility.

Huangfu Ruiling chuckled and shook his head. He then reached out to ruffle

Ye Leng’an’s hair. “Well, was today’s auction was enjoyable?”

“Yes, it was fun.” Ye Lengan nodded. “In the future, remember to invite me to such auctions! Acquiring the fragment of the Shennong Cauldron today was an unexpected delight!’

Thinking about it, Ye Lengan appeared troubled. “l plan to find a way to merge this fragment into the original Shennong Cauldron tomorrow.

However, I’m uncertain if any obstacles will arise.”

Unaware of whether the fragment could directly fuse or required a different method, she admitted to not being a skilled artificer. While she had some knowledge in the area, she wasn’t an expert.

“l got you, did you forget?” Huangfu Ruiling extended his hand, lightly knocking Ye Leng’an’s forehead. “I’ll be with you then!”

“Oh right! I almost forgot you’re skilled in refining!” Ye Lengan smiled in realization. Then, she took Huangfu Ruilings arm, saying, “Are you free tomorrow? If you’re busy, we can do it another day. I’m not in a rush.”

With both the fragment and the original in her possession, the timing of the fusion wasn’t a pressing concern for Ye Lengan.

“I’m free tomorrow.” Huangfu Ruiling smiled, his eyes filled with boundless fondness. “l initially planned to continue our outing tomorrow. But since you want to fuse first, let’s prioritize that!”

Ye Leng’an nodded. “Alright.”

“Then let’s grab a late-night snack first!” Huangfu Ruiling suggested.

“Afterward, we can head back.”

Soon, the two strolled hand in hand to enjoy a late-night meal intimately.

On the other side, Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan had already returned to the Ye family.

Ye Wanwan refrained from saying anything, silently trailing behind her father.

She knew her actions that night had disappointed her father. Moreover, she had acquired the Seven Star Flower at a high cost, setting the stage for complaints from the elders. She couldn’t comprehend her own behavior; in the presence of Ye An’an, she became impulsive. Despite the absence of prior interactions, she felt destined to be at odds with Ye An’an. The sentiment was reminiscent of her encounters with Ye Leng’an.

Uncertain if similar names played a role, facing Ye An’an triggered feelings of disgust intertwined with danger.

Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, signaling her silence, merely instructing her to reflect on the night’s events.

Ye Wanwan did not feel relieved by this; instead, her steps became heavier as she walked towards her own courtyard.

Returning to his room, Lian Mengzhu saw Ye Hongxuan walking in and couldn’t help but be surprised. “Aren’t you going to the auction with Wanwan? Why does your expression look so grim? Did something happen at the auction? Or is there something you wanted but couldn’t acquire?” Ye Hongxuan sighed and told the events of the auction to Lian Mengzhu.

Having heard the narration, even Lian Mengzhu fell into contemplative silence..
