At that moment, a clear voice rang out, tinged with sarcasm.

“We actually don’t mind at all,” unexpectedly declared Ye Lengan, who had been observing from the sidelines. She chuckled and added, “Although we emphasize the order of seniority, flexibility is key! Ruixiang and Yating are on a tight schedule, so let’s proceed with their engagement first.”

Having spoken, she turned to Huangfu Ruiling, tilted her head, and asked with a smile, “Ling, do you think I’m right?”

“Absolutely,” affirmed Huangfu Ruiling, agreeing wholeheartedly with Ye Leng’an’s words. “If you’re in a hurry, I can inform them now, and your engagement ceremony can take place tomorrow.”

This sudden turn of events prompted diverse reactions among the people in the hall.

Zhong Yating wore a face of delight, thinking her engagement ceremony, which she initially believed would be postponed, was now set for tomorrow. This unexpected change brought her immense joy.

However, the expressions of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying soured. Huangfu Ruilings words felt like a slap in the face, directly contradicting their previous emphasis on seniority. It was not only embarrassing but also signaled their lack of influence in the family.

Huangfu Ruixiangs face froze, shocked by the unexpected interference from Huangfu Ruiling at this crucial moment.

“l think it’s a fantastic idea.” Ye Lengan applauded, endorsing Huangfu Ruilings suggestion. “Ruixiang and Yating are pressed for time. Holding the engagement ceremony tomorrow is the best option.”

She discerned that Huangfu Ruixiang wasn’t keen on the engagement. The exchanged glances between Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhongyu Liuying revealed that the latter was stalling for time on behalf of Huangfu Ruixiang.

However, Zhong Yating was eager to proceed with the engagement, so she decided to stir the waters.

“Can we really do this?” Zhong Yating asked, her tone filled with joy and urgency. “Won’t it be too rushed?”

“As long as both of you are willing, we can hold the engagement ceremony tonight if you want,” Ye Lengan suggested with a smile. just wonder what

Ruixiang and you are thinking.”

“Of course, we’re willing,” Zhong Yating affirmed, turning to Huangfu

Ruixiang. She smiled and asked, “Ruixiang, don’t you think so?”

Faced with Zhong Yating’s question, Huangfu Ruixiang resisted internally but managed to force a smile, replying, ‘Yes, we’re definitely willing.”

Zhongyu Liuying interjected, “This is too rushed! Our Huangfu family holds a prominent position in the capital. How can we hastily arrange an engagement ceremony? Outsiders might misunderstand. Besides, it’s not good for Yatings reputation!”

“l don’t mind,” Zhong Yating quickly interjected. “Moreover, Ruixiang and I need to return to the Hidden World soon. We can’t stay here for too long. Therefore, it’s better to hold the engagement ceremony as soon as possible.”

“Ruixiang is your younger brother.” Huangfu Jingzhang stared sharply at Huangfu Ruiling. “Don’t you understand the importance of his engagement ceremony? Rushing it like this will only invite ridicule.”

He wanted Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan to leave immediately. Couldn’t they see that they didn’t want Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating to get engaged?

Truly, they were at odds with each other! Every time Huangfu Ruiling seemed to ruin his plans, and now he was causing trouble for Ruixiang.

However, regardless of the internal curses, Huangfu Jingzhang dared not be too firm.

After being demoted from the family head position, he realized that he now depended on Huangfu Ruiling for his livelihood. Although Huangfu Ruiling was his son, he had no authority in front of him. He couldn’t expect Huangfu Ruiling to listen to him.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced indifferently at Huangfu Jingzhang, then turned to

Li San, instructing, “Li San, inform Huangting Hotel that the Second Young Master will hold an engagement ceremony tomorrow night. Ensure they are prepared. Also, notify the major families to attend Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement banquet.”

“Yes, Master.”

With a swift acknowledgment, Li San departed to carry out Huangfu Ruilings orders.

In an instant, everything was decided, catching everyone off guard.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying didn’t anticipate that Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t just talk but give orders.

Before long, the news would spread through the upper echelons of the capital’s society. They would be left with no room to retract their statements.

Huangfu Ruixiangs smiling face stiffened. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruiling to take such decisive action. For a moment, he felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar, shivering.

The happiest person in the hall was undoubtedly Zhong Yating. Initially worried about a delayed engagement ceremony, everything had taken a

180-degree turn. Her engagement with Huangfu Ruixiang was now scheduled tor tomorrow.

She reached out, grasping Huangfu Ruixiangs arm, and leaned on his shoulder with a sweet smile. “Ruixiang, we’re getting engaged tomorrow. Are you happy?

Huangfu Ruixiang seemed to wake up from a daze, forcing a smile. “Of course, I’m happy.”

“Now that the time is set, let’s get started!” Ye Lengan, who had been spectating, suggested with a smile. “You should quickly decide on the dresses and accessories for tomorrow night. However, I believe Auntie has ample experience in this area and will do well, right?”

Zhongyu Liuyings expression was grim, but before she could speak, Huangfu Ruiling intervened. “If Mother can’t handle both, I can ask Second Auntie to help.”

“No need.” Zhongyu Liuying gritted their teeth. “I’ll manage. This is Ruixiangs engagement ceremony. There’s no need for Nangong Xiyu to interfere..”
