320: I Need to Meet Ye Leng'an 2

I Need to Meet Ye Leng'an 2

"There's still a Spring Festival Gala?" Ye Leng'an pushed Huangfu Ruiling toward the dining room, a surprised expression on her face. "This is Paris. Can you still receive the domestic channels here?"1

Speaking of which, it had probably been many years since she last watched the Spring Festival Gala! In the later years of her first life, she was trembling with fear even when she was alive. How could she have had any thought of celebrating the New Year! Let alone watching something like the Spring Festival Gala. As for her second life, there was no such thing as New Year in the cultivation world. All of her time was spent on cultivation and alchemy. 

This was her first New Year since she returned. She did not expect to be spending it with Huangfu Ruiling. As expected, things in this world were really unpredictable!

"I've already had someone tune it in." Huangfu Ruiling did not notice Ye Leng'an's absent-mindedness behind her. He continued, "If you want to watch it, we can watch it together later. If you're tired, you can go up and rest early!"

He didn't have any special feelings about New Year's. If it wasn't for Ye Leng'an, he wouldn't have celebrated New Year at all. 

In previous years, he had spent this time in the Huangfu family's old mansion. However, the joyous New Year atmosphere had nothing to do with him. The reason he stayed there was because he felt it didn't matter where he spent it, so he went back.

"Let's watch the Gala!" Ye Leng'an had a nostalgic look on her face. "It's been a long time since I've watched the Gala."

She didn't watch the Gala because she liked it, but because she wanted to feel the New Year atmosphere.

The two of them came to the dining room. The dining table was already filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. The two of them sat down and began to eat dinner. With no outsiders around, they didn't follow the rule of no talking during meals. Instead, they chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was exceptionally good.

On the other side of the world, the atmosphere in the Huangfu family's old mansion in the capital was not very good. This was because on such an important day, Huangfu Ruiling, as the young master, did not appear. 

Every year on New Year's Eve, the main branch and the extended family members of the Huangfu family gathered together to have a reunion dinner. Of course, not everyone was eligible to attend. Only members of the main branch and some of the extended family members who had shown good behavior or achievements during the year would receive invitations to attend the New Year's Eve dinner.

This year, everyone had already arrived, but Huangfu Ruiling, the young master, was not there.

Seeing this, everyone naturally had different thoughts. However, when they saw the ugly expressions on Huangfu Jingzhang and his wife Zhongyu Liuying sitting at the main table, no one dared say anything. They didn't even dare breathe too loudly, afraid of inviting disaster.

Everyone was speculating whether there was some secret behind Huangfu Ruiling's absence. 

Huangfu Ruiling didn't show up even after the New Year's Eve dinner ended. This made everyone guess even more. However, the atmosphere was too oppressive for anyone to dare discuss it freely. After the dinner ended, no one dared linger and immediately got up to take their leave. 

Soon, only members of the main branch remained in the main building. Those were Huangfu Ruiling's parents and his second uncle's family.

In the living room, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying sat in the main seats. The gloom on their faces had not lifted, indicating they were still in a bad mood. 

Zhongyu Yiran sat quietly to the side, an obedient expression on her face that gave no hint of her inner thoughts. 

On the surface, she looked calm, but inside, her heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. She had come to the Huangfu family hoping to spend New Year with Huangfu Ruiling. She knew that even if they spent New Year together in the Huangfu family, she wouldn't get to interact with Huangfu Ruiling much.

Even so, she was unwilling to give up this opportunity. Because this was the only thing she could do better than Ye Leng'an. On such an important day, she could still see Huangfu Ruiling while Ye Leng'an would be spending it alone. 

What she didn't expect was that Huangfu Ruiling didn't come back for the New Year, instead staying abroad. She didn't need to guess that Huangfu Ruiling did this to accompany Ye Leng'an.
