322: I Need to Meet Ye Leng'an 4

I Need to Meet Ye Leng'an 4

Zhongyu Yiran lowered her head and didn't say anything else. However, what Zhongyu Liuying didn't notice was that her eyes were filled with pride.1

So what if Ye Leng'an was powerful? As long as Madam didn't agree, it would be impossible for her to enter the Huangfu family. Did she really think that just because she was pretty, she could capture Huangfu Ruiling's heart? With her status, she wouldn't even be qualified to marry into the Huangfu family's side branch. 

After finding out that Zhongyu Yiran knew almost nothing about Ye Leng'an, she waved her hand and told Zhongyu Yiran to go rest first. 

Then, she called Auntie Wu over and directly asked, "I previously told you to investigate Ye Leng'an, is there any result now?"

"This..." Auntie Wu looked troubled, then said, "Madam, I've already instructed people to investigate. It's just…"

"Just what?" Zhongyu Liuying cut straight to the point, "Can you guys find anything or not? It's been so many days already, how is there still no news?"

With the strength of the Huangfu family and Zhongyu family, it would only take an hour to investigate someone. But it had already been several days since she gave the order, and there was still no report.

"Madam, we simply can't find any information on Ye Leng'an, it seems her data has been encrypted by someone." Auntie Wu lowered her head and explained, "So now, we only roughly know she's a student at Sheng'an High School. We can't find out anything else." 

Although she didn't state it explicitly, she felt the one who had encrypted Ye Leng'an's information was most likely Young Master Huangfu. She didn't dare go against her Young Master, but it was also hard to explain to Madam. Stuck between the mother and son, she didn't know what to do.

Clearly, what Auntie Wu could guess, Zhongyu Liuying could also guess. But it was precisely because she had guessed it that her expression became even uglier.

Zhongyu Liuying's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and the atmosphere around her grew heavier. Auntie Wu stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a peep.

After a long while, Zhongyu Liuying sneered and said, "Auntie Wu, think of a way to find out exactly which class this Ye Leng'an is in at Sheng'an High School. After the winter holiday ends, won't she have to go back to school? When that time comes, I want to properly meet this Ye Leng'an. I really want to see just what kind of girl she is that she could make my son so infatuated with her, to the point he has to accompany her even on an important day like the New Year."

Upon hearing Zhongyu Liuying's words, Auntie Wu's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, she still advised, "Madam, isn't it not good for you to go looking for her so rashly? If Young Master finds out, I'm afraid he'll be unhappy."

Judging from all the signs so far, her Young Master must have special feelings towards this Ye Leng'an. No matter what kind of relationship Young Master Huangfu and Ye Leng'an had, if he knew Madam had come to visit at this time, it would definitely not be a small matter.

"What? Do I need his permission just to meet someone?" Zhongyu Liuying sneered. "He's my son. As his mother, isn't it only right for me to meet the girl he admires? 

Auntie Wu had originally wanted to say more, but upon seeing Zhongyu Liuying's icy gaze, she automatically swallowed her words.

At this moment, Ye Leng'an was unaware that someone was already thinking of looking for her.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner with Huangfu Ruiling, the two went to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala together.

When it was almost midnight, Huangfu Ruiling suddenly turned to look at Ye Leng'an beside him and abruptly said, "Shall we go take a walk in the courtyard? What do you think?"

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words so suddenly, Ye Leng'an was stunned for a moment and felt somewhat bewildered. "Go for a walk in the yard at this hour?"

It was the middle of the night, the weather was cold, and at this time, going out to the yard to get blown by the chilly wind seemed a bit silly no matter how she thought about it.

"Let's go take a look!" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes. "I've prepared a gift for you, it's outside."

"A New Year's gift?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, then said, "No need for that! I didn't prepare any gift for you." 

Now when she thought about it, she felt a little guilty. All this time, her food and lodging had been provided by Huangfu Ruiling. He had even stayed here to accompany her for New Year's instead of going home. 

And he had actually prepared a gift for her on such an occasion. Yet it seemed she hadn't indicated anything in return; even when they went shopping today, everything she bought was for herself, nothing for Huangfu Ruiling.

Therefore, accepting Huangfu Ruiling's gift at this time would really be going too far!

"Let's decide whether to accept it or not after seeing what it is first!" Huangfu Ruiling didn't seem intent on forcing Ye Leng'an to accept it, just saying lightly, "We can at least go take a look!"

Since Huangfu Ruiling had already said so, Ye Leng'an was naturally too embarrassed to refuse.

Without bringing Li San along, Ye Leng'an pushed Huangfu Ruiling out to the courtyard. 

Although it was already early morning, the courtyard was brightly lit, looking as if it was daytime. Furthermore, there was a heating stove placed every few steps. Therefore, even in the courtyard, one could not feel any cold at all.

However, after going out to the courtyard, Huangfu Ruiling did not immediately take out the gift for Ye Leng'an. Instead, he chatted casually with Ye Leng'an as they walked. 

Although it was all small talk without much substance, to him this was the happiest he had ever felt.

When it was almost midnight, Huangfu Ruiling suddenly asked Ye Leng'an to stop.

Ye Leng'an didn't have any doubts and immediately stopped.

Just as the clock hands were about to strike midnight, Huangfu Ruiling got up and walked over to Ye Leng'an. Then he leaned in next to Ye Leng'an's ear and softly said, "Happy New Year!"

Feeling the warm breath brush past her ear, Ye Leng'an's face flushed against her will. She abruptly looked up, bumping into Huangfu Ruiling's chin.

At this moment, the clock struck midnight. 

"Bang, bang, bang..." As the New Year bells rang out, beautiful fireworks suddenly blossomed in the sky.

With the first firework blast, it was as if it signaled a command. Almost the entire sky was soon covered by fireworks. Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, with seemingly no gaps, adding colorful brilliance to the dreary sky.

Standing under the night sky, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but raise her head and gaze at the beautiful fireworks.
