“That’s right! Because I saw Li Yiran downstairs just now,” Ye Leng’an didn’t hide anything, smiling as she spoke. “Li Yiran probably hasn’t been here before, otherwise she wouldn’t have been stopped by the front desk. Now that she’s suddenly shown up at the company, she must be trying to get on Huangfu Ruixiangs good side. So whether or not Huangfu Ruixiang eventually falls for Li Yiran’s charms remains to be seen. I think admitting defeat at this point would be premature.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded in understanding and smiled slightly. “Since you feel the bet is still ongoing, let’s continue it then! However, I do have a bit of news to share.’

“What news?” Ye Lengan narrowed her eyes at Huangfu Ruiling, a trace of suspicion in her tone. Clearly, she didn’t anticipate this would be good news.

“My mother started making arrangements this morning to set up a blind date for Huangfu Ruixiang,” Huangfu Ruiling disclosed directly without beating around the bush. “So if you think Li Yiran still has a chance, we’ll have to wait and see!”

“Huh?” After hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan was actually rather surprised. “Is there such an urgent need? That all went down just yesterday, and today she’s already working on matchmaking?”

This Zhongyu Liuying really was ruthless. If Li Yiran found out, she’d probably be so angry she vomited blood!

“It’s precisely because of what transpired yesterday that Mother is in such a rush to arrange this blind date,” Huangfu Ruiling explained lightly. “Otherwise she likely would have waited until after the Family Competition before taking action on this. After all, she still hopes Huangfu Ruixiang can shine during the competition, catching the eye of those Hidden World families and making him seem like worthwhile marriage material.”

“So she’s changed plans now?” Ye Lengan found it rather amusing.

Li Yiran probably couldn’t have imagined in her wildest dreams that it was her own scheming against Huangfu Ruixiang that triggered Zhongyu Liuyings urgency to marry him off! This was essentially Li Yiran indirectly causing Zhongyu Liuyings decision.

In fact, if Li Yiran hadn’t been so impatient and was willing to take things slowly, the outcome certainly would have been much better than now. Even if Huangfu Ruixiang remained unwilling to marry her in the end, at least her position in his heart would be far more significant. And her bargaining chips would be that much heavier then.

“She didn’t actually change plans,” Huangfu Ruiling said, his lips twisting into a sardonic smile. “Even if Huangfu Ruixiang takes interest in one of these matches, there won’t be a rushed marriage yet. She’ll at least wait until after the Family Competition concludes, confirming none of those Hidden World ladies have taken fancy to Huangfu Ruixiang. Only then would she willingly let Huangfu Ruixiang marry one of those mortal elite family daughters. This also serves to distract Huangfu Ruixiang somewhat, so he doesn’t have as much attention to devote to Li Yiran.’

“So it’s about finding a backup option!” Ye Lengan curled her lip disdainfully. “Whoever he takes interest in really is quite unlucky then – not only a backup option but a tool to divert affection from Li Yiran.”

“Even so, it would end up being a mutually consensual matter,” Huangfu Ruiling said, unconcerned. “Those things have nothing to do with us. Though after the Family Competition wraps up, I imagine Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage will be placed on the agenda.”

“Then it’ll be a few more months before our wager concludes and we know who the winner and loser is!” Ye Lengan nodded. She glanced back at Huangfu Ruiling and suddenly posed, “Ruiling, have you never considered any of what I just said? Why didn’t you mention all this when I was readily admitting defeat last night?”

“An’an, we were making a bet,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, smiling at Ye Lengan. “Since you volunteered to concede, why would I go reminding you of caveats?”

Hearing Huangfu Ruilings response, Ye Lengan was left speechless, unable to formulate a retort.

“Oh right, there is one other thing.” Huangfu Ruiling suddenly pulled out a document from his desk and passed it to Ye Leng’an. “Have a look at this.”

Without hesitating, Ye Lengan accepted the proffered file and opened it, teasing as she did, “This is confidential company documentation! How could you just casually show such a thing to an outsider? Aren’t you worried I might leak secrets?”

“Since even I am yours now,” Huangfu Ruiling stated matter-of-factly, “then all that I have naturally belongs to you as well. By that logic, the Group is also yours. Not to mention this, all the documents in the office you can feel free to peruse now.”

“l must decline the honor!” Ye Lengan quickly shook her head. “l have zero interest in these documents of yours. I do still quite like hearing that you’re mine though.”

As she spoke, Ye Lengan skimmed through the opened file. Finally realizing why Huangfu Ruiling had her look it over, she knew.

“Is this about the design competition Ye Xiyuan entered?” Ye Lengan queried with a smile. “What about that designer I mentioned who would win – how is he doing?”

“Our subsidiary has contacted and signed him on,” Huangfu Ruiling elaborated. “Coincidentally though, some trouble struck the designer en route to report at the subsidiary this morning. While not life-threatening, he sustained a hand injury that requires a month’s convalescence.”

“And the competition itself takes place next week.” Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with comprehension. “Sticking to the original plan, I suppose missing out now is unavoidable for him. So that ‘accident’ was undoubtedly manufactured by

Ye Xiyuan.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Highly likely, yes. Our people didn’t dig into it deeply though – the report to his doctor sufficed.”

No need to investigate so thoroughly when it ultimately had little bearing for them either way.

“This Ye Xiyuan really is quite ruthless!” Ye Leng’an’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile. “She’s eliminating all potential complications!”

“Even minus this designer’s participation, Ye Xiyuan claiming the championship remains unlikely,” Huangfu Ruiling countered. “At my prompting, the competition’s scale and gravitas were elevated exponentially this year. Naturally, the theme itself is still undeclared as well..”
