Chapter 1026: Caught in Bed

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“One month,” Ye Leng’an said, eyeing Murong Yumeng. “You’ve got thirty days to tie the knot. Then, our little feud will be water under the bridge. But if you miss the deadline, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

To Ye Leng’an, someone who had her sights set on Huangfu Ruiling was utterly repugnant. So, it was best to nip it in the bud. However, she wasn’t one to be merciful. Finding a suitable match in a month was no walk in the park.

She knew Murong Yumeng had a backup plan. But lately, her backup, Zi Zhijie, had been set up on blind dates by his family due to a change in plans. Unbeknownst to Murong Yumeng, Zi Zhijie was now cozying up to another lady from a well-to-do family, gearing up for an engagement.

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s terms, Murong Yumeng seethed with hatred. But reluctantly, she nodded. “Fine, I agree.”

She understood that crossing Ye Leng’an could spell trouble. Before knowing Ye Leng’an’s true identity, she might have brushed her off. But now, knowing the consequences from Zhou Cui’an’s fate, she couldn’t take any risks.

Though she still harbored a desire for Huangfu Ruiling, she knew it was futile. She had already crossed Ye Leng’an, and she didn’t want to meet the same fate as Zhou Cui’an. Plus, Huangfu Shaohua had already warned her.

As Ye Leng’an left, Murong Yumeng’s eyes blazed with hatred. But to Ye Leng’an, it hardly mattered.

With Zhou Cui’an out of the picture, Murong Yumeng resumed her search for a marriage partner. Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an’s school life went back to normal.

However, just as things calmed down, trouble brewed for the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an walked into the ancestral mansion, where they found Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying sitting on the sofa with grim expressions.

Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating sat opposite them. Huangfu Ruixiang’s fists clenched, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at the two figures kneeling on the ground, his expression fierce and intimidating.

Beside him, Zhong Yating remained calm, her face devoid of any emotion.

Ye Leng’an’s attention was drawn to the two figures kneeling on the ground. It was none other than Li Yiran and Li Yi.

Huangfu Ruiling led Ye Leng’an to sit down, looked around the living room, and then coldly asked, “What’s going on?”

Sitting down beside Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an observed the scene with keen interest, her expression contrasting with the tense atmosphere in the room.

However, no one present noticed Ye Leng’an’s inappropriate expression. Or rather, they deliberately chose to ignore it. After all, even if they did see it, no one dared to bring it up.

Otherwise, if Ye Leng’an got angry and Huangfu Ruiling left with her, things wouldn’t end well.

Huangfu Ruiling’s cold voice cut through the tension, demanding an explanation. The room fell silent, the expressions on everyone’s faces uneasy.

“Is it really that hard to spill the beans?” Ye Leng’an leaned back on the sofa, then casually remarked, “Someone’s been cheated on?”

With those words, the atmosphere in the hall instantly grew even more eerie. Moreover, there was a subtle change on everyone’s face.

“Spill it!” Huangfu Ruiling’s voice was as cold as ice, making everyone there shiver involuntarily.

“Brother, Li Yiran cheated on me.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s glare at the kneeling Li Yiran was fierce. “If I hadn’t stumbled upon it today by chance, who knows how long she would’ve been cheating on me!”

“Yeah, someone like her doesn’t belong in the Huangfu family,” Zhongyu Liuying chimed in, her tone dripping with disdain. “Kick her out. And Li Yi too.”

She gritted her teeth. “We can’t let him off either. He’s a servant of our family, eating and drinking from our table, and he betrayed us. He even helped Li Yiran cheat on Ruixiang. He deserves the worst punishment.”

“But that’s not true,” Li Yiran protested hastily. “There’s nothing romantic between me and Brother Li Yi. He sees me as a sister, and I see him as a brother.”

“Brothers and sisters don’t sleep together, do they?” Huangfu Ruixiang’s sarcasm was biting. “You’ve been caught in bed together, and you still have the nerve to deny it? Li Yiran, you’ve got some nerve!”
