As time passed day by day, Ye Leng’an found herself with plenty of free time. When not attending classes, she devoted her time to alchemy.

Of course, she didn’t neglect Huangfu Ruiling during her regular activities. Whenever she had spare time, she frequently visited the Huangye Group.

Nowadays, people at Huangye Group were already quite familiar with the prospective lady boss.

Today happened to be the weekend, and Ye Lengan had no classes. In school, the graduating class typically had makeup classes on Saturdays and Sundays. However, despite participating in this year’s college entrance exam, Ye Lengan was technically a first-year student in name. Therefore, she naturally and rightfully didn’t have to attend makeup classes.

The principal had no objections to Ye Leng’an’s actions. After her return, Ye Lengan had taken the time to participate in a simulation college entrance exam, scoring full marks in all subjects. This outstanding performance made the principal fully aware of her capabilities, leading to a considerable relaxation in his attitude towards her.

With no classes today, Ye Lengan joined Huangfu Ruiling at the Huangye Group, keeping him pany while he worked.

Huangfu Ruiling was engrossed in reviewing various pany documents and managing affairs related to the Hidden World. Although not permanently stationed there, he handled most matters, sending them back for execution once reviewed.

Ye Leng’an, on the other hand, sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading what appeared to be an ancient scroll. The characters on it were far from modern, giving it an ancient aura.

Despite working individually in the office, the atmosphere remained harmonious between them, even without much conversation.

However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered by a jarring ringtone.

Glancing at the flashing number on his phone screen, Huangfu Ruilings expression turned cold. Answering the call, he listened attentively.

After hanging up, he noticed Ye Lengan looking at him with curiosity.

“Who was that?” Ye Lengan asked, sensing it wasn’t a business call based on

Huangfu Ruilings tone.

“My mother,” Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. “She said Huangfu

Ruixiang returned from the Hidden World and invited me for dinner.” “He’s back?” Ye Lengan expressed surprise. “Isn’t he already an inner sect disciple? He should be cultivating in the Hidden World. Didn’t you expect him to stay there for about a year? Why is he back so soon?”

Amused by Ye Lengan!s series of questions, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head before responding, “He just took a leave of absence. Even as an inner sect disciple, he can apply for leave. It’s not like being in prison; you don’t have to confine someone to one place.”

“He’s quite the troublemaker,” Ye Lengan remarked with a sarcastic smile. “Being an inner sect disciple and immediately taking leave to e back.

Seems like he’s afraid of learning too much!”

Huangfu Ruiling, indifferent to the ments, replied, “Regardless, it’s his choice. I’ve given him a chance. If he doesn’t progress, the family won’t invest any more resources in him.”

“Are you planning to go back?” Ye Lengan blinked curiously. “By the way, it feels like you haven’t been back for a long time!”

“No,” Huangfu Ruiling responded decisively. “Didn’t we agree to go on a date?”

Ye Lengan pursed her lips, smiling. “Didn’t you just acknowledge your mother’s request on the phone?”

“l didn’t,” Huangfu Ruiling replied without hesitation. “l merely said I understood, not explicitly agreeing to go back. How she interprets it is her own business, not mine.’

Hearing his explanation, Ye Lengan chuckled. “Looks like she might have misunderstood. They might all be waiting for you to e back for dinner. What will you do?”

“That’s their concern, not mine,” he responded indifferently. “Besides, Huangfu Ruixiangs return isn’t that surprising. There’s no need to make a fuss about it.’

“You’re right,” Ye Lengan agreed, nodding. “Well, better get back to work!

Later, let’s go watch a movie, have dinner, and then go shopping!’ Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Your decision.”

“However, I think we should dress up a bit before going,” Ye Lengan suggested, glancing at Huangfu Ruiling. “Otherwise, you’ll have to go there in a wheelchair, which could be troublesome. I don’t want to push you around everywhere! ”

Meanwhile, in the Huangfu family’s ancestral mansion…

Zhongyu Liuying put down her phone, looking at Huangfu Ruixiang with confusion. “Tell me, your return isn’t a big deal. Why insist on having me call your brother back for dinner?”

Zhongyu Liuying rarely contacted Huangfu Ruiling unless necessary, avoiding his cold remarks. His indifferent tone didn’t sound like how a son should speak to his mother.

Moreover, Huangfu Ruiling was now the head of the Huangfu family. Facing

him, Zhongyu Liuying always felt like he was looking down on her. Despite being his mother, she had to look up to him, a difficult pill to swallow. Usually, if it wasn’t necessary, she preferred to avoid any interaction with Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, then he smiled and said, “Mom, this time after I e back, who knows, it might be a long time before I return again. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, it’s perfect for the whole family to have a meal together!”

Zhongyu Liuying sneered, saying, “He doesn’t treat us as a family! Look at him; he doesn’t care about us at all.’

Maintaining his smile, Huangfu Ruixiang continued, “Mom, don’t think so poorly of my brother. His personality has always been like this; he’s just not good at expressing himself. I believe he still cares about us..”
