Chapter 1038: The End

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as Huangfu Ruiling stepped inside, he spotted Ye Leng’an awake. His eyes softened instantly. “You’re up!”

Ye Leng’an wasn’t impressed with Huangfu Ruiling’s cheerful attitude. “Hey, why did I sleep in so late? Whose fault is that?”

“It’s all on me,” Huangfu Ruiling quickly apologized, his tone sincere.

Her anger dissipated somewhat at his apology, but she still found him irksome. “Listen, if you keep this up tonight, we’re sleeping in separate rooms from now on.”

Huangfu Ruiling touched his nose sheepishly. “Got it, I’ll behave.”

His tone dripped with patience as if he was dealing with a spoiled child.

Yet, despite his confident response, only Huangfu Ruiling knew what lurked in his heart. Though experienced in many things, Ye Leng’an had no clue how wild things could get after a guy had some action. And when she found out, she would be in for a rude awakening!

Today marked the second day of their wedding festivities. After breakfast, Huangfu Ruiling escorted Ye Leng’an to meet all the elders and disciples of the Huangfu family.

Even though they’d crossed paths before and spent a considerable amount of time together, they couldn’t ignore the formalities. This was their first official meeting as a married couple, so they had to be on their best behavior.

Throughout the day, Ye Leng’an felt like she was in a constant cycle of meeting people and smiling.

But even a whole day wasn’t enough to meet everyone. So, for the next few days, they continued to greet and socialize.

After spending a few days in the Hidden World, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an returned to the mortal world for their wedding ceremony.

Despite getting married, Ye Leng’an didn’t plan on altering her university plans. She wanted to experience college life to the fullest. So, she remained a university student.

While college relationships were common, marriage talk was rare. So, when news of Ye Leng’an’s marriage circulated, many were surprised. Yet, considering who she was marrying, it wasn’t too hard to digest.

However, not everyone from the school received an invitation.

Ye Leng’an only sent invites to a select few professors, the dean, and the principal. Of course, she also extended invitations to her roommates and a handful of classmates she was close to. But that was it—others weren’t included, not even all her classmates.

Many people pulled out all the stops to snag an invite, using every trick in the book. After all, this wasn’t just any wedding—it was the head of the Huangfu family tying the knot.

This event was bound to turn heads in the capital and beyond. With VIPs in attendance, it was a prime opportunity to network and make new connections.

Naturally, everyone was eager to get an invitation.

The big day arrived as scheduled, and the lavish wedding festivities began.

Unlike the traditional ceremony in the Hidden World, the mortal world wedding had a more Western flair.

Held at the grandest hotel in the capital city, the event drew dignitaries and elite families from all over the country.

Guests mingled, exchanged toasts, and shared well-wishes with Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an as they embarked on their new journey together.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were also in attendance, though their expressions were far from cheerful. Despite their inner turmoil, they managed to put on strained smiles.

As Huangfu Ruiling’s parents, they felt sidelined at the wedding, treated like ordinary guests without any special acknowledgment. Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even bother to introduce them to anyone, adding to their frustration. Yet, they knew better than to voice their discontent—they depended on Huangfu Ruiling for their livelihoods. Despite their blood ties, they couldn’t compel Huangfu Ruiling to do anything. They feared he might retaliate in anger, wielding his power as head of the family. Any discord with him could lead to public ridicule.

So, despite their inner turmoil, they plastered on fake smiles, unwilling to risk their precarious position.

The banquet continued merrily, oblivious to the absence of the bride and groom.

On the rooftop, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an were enjoying the cool breeze and gazing at the starry sky in their formal outfits, lost in conversation. They seemed entirely at ease.

“Do you like it here, An’an?” Huangfu Ruiling suddenly asked, his tone serious. “Do you like this world?”

“Huh?” Ye Leng’an was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Huangfu Ruiling, eyebrows raised in amusement. “What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t tell me you’re plotting to whisk me away from this world?”

It was meant as a joke, but Huangfu Ruiling nodded with sincerity.

“An’an, I’m serious,” he said, his expression grave. “Would you be willing to live elsewhere with me?”

As the son of the Heavenly Dao, he was destined to return to his celestial origins when the time came, taking his wife with him.

These were thoughts that had surfaced when Ye Leng’an was in peril in the Hidden World, evoking his latent powers.

However, unsure how to articulate it, he kept silent.

Observing the seriousness in his expression, Ye Leng’an pondered for a moment, then grinned mischievously. “Whatever happens, I’m sticking with you. For better or worse, I’m in it for the long haul!”

A faint smile graced Huangfu Ruiling’s lips as he reached out, clasping her hand. “I’ll hold your hand as we journey through life together,” he murmured softly. “In sickness and in health.”

Though they wouldn’t age, they would continue their journey hand in hand.

Gazing at each other, they shared a smile before turning their eyes upward, admiring the twinkling stars above.
