Chapter 5: Canceling the Engagement (1)
Ye Xun held her fists tightly as she watched the Hunyuan Pill be sent to Ye Ling. However, given what Duan Tianrao said, all his worries disappeared, and he smiled gently.
"How's Tang Tang doing these past few days?" Duan Tianrao's eyes blinked. It seemed like he was waiting for the right opportunity to open up.
Ye Ling felt nothing. He sighed and said, “How can he feel fine after his spirit root is broken? The boy was always very attentive. He never showed any signs of pain in front of me. It is heartbreaking to see him in such a state.”
Ye Ling raised her eyes and said to Duan Tianrao, “Tianrao, you are Tang Tang's fiancee, and the two of you grew up together. It would be better if you could spend more time with him. I'm sure he'll be more relaxed.”
Duan Tianrao smiled but did not respond directly.
Ye Xun who was standing at the side slightly lowered his head. He pulled on Duan Tianrao's sleeves silently, and in response Duan Tianrao gently patted his hands to comfort him.
At the same time, a skinny silhouette slowly entered the hall and greeted Ye Ling who was sitting on the main seat.
"Dad."
Looking at Ye Qingtang, Ye Ling's eyes reflected deep love and care.
“Tang Tang, you haven't fully recovered. Sit down first.”
Ye Qingtang, who was wearing a veil, sat down beside Ye Ling quietly. However, his eyes did not even look towards Duan Tianrao, who was sitting below.
Ye Ling was unaware of how indifferent Ye Qingtang was towards Duan Tianrao. He smiled and pointed towards the objects on the table to show Ye Qingtang.
“Tang Tang, all of this was given by Tianrao to help you recover. He even brought you Hunyuan pills. He really cares about you.”
Ye Qingtang glimpsed at the tonic stacked on top of each other like a mountain on a table. He then glanced at Duan Tianrao who was sitting below. His eyesight was extremely cold with no expression of interest or gratitude.
Young Master Duan?
The other three froze for a moment. In the past when Ye Qingtang met Duan Tianrao, he had always called him Brother Duan. Why did he stay away today?
Duan Tianrao frowned slightly. However, given the purpose of his visit today, he did not bother anymore.
Ye Ling thought that Ye Qingtang was in a bad mood because his spirit root was broken, so she did not bother to find out the reason either.
“You will be 16 years old in half a year. I think we can continue your marriage with Tianrao. When you feel better, I'll discuss your marriage with the master of the Duan family clan. Is that good?"
Ye Ling originally did not intend to marry Ye Qingtang this fast, but now that her spirit root was broken, it was very unlikely for her to have an improvement in Wushu. The Ye family had been controlled by the Great Elder, and even as the ruler of the family clan, he no longer held much power.
It would be best for Ye Qingtang to marry Duan Tianrao early. He would be more relieved knowing that Duan Tianrao would be able to take care of him.
The faces of the three people present suddenly changed after hearing what Ye Ling said.
Especially for Ye Xun, his body stiffened, and Duan Tianrao's facial expression darkened.
Only Ye Qingtang was still sitting properly on the chair. His eyesight was cold, and he was sharp enough to catch the changes on Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao.
“Uncle Ye.” Duan Tianrao stepped forward suddenly.
"Today, I came to tell you something."
Seriate....
