When only the two of them were left, Ye Xiyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Godmother, that…

Her face displayed a trace of hesitation, as if there were things she wanted to say but couldn’t find the words.

“Xiyuan, what is there to be embarrassed about between us?” Murong Yanshu smiled and said, “Don’t hold back. From today onwards, you are my goddaughter, so you should act and speak confidently, understood?”

“Understood, Godmother,” Ye Xiyuan obediently nodded. After a brief pause, she inquired, “Godmother, today, um… is Mr. Nangong not coming?”

She wanted to address him as Godfather, but it felt awkward to say it aloud. She had never met the head of the Nangong family, and using the term “Godfather” seemed overly eager.

Upon hearing Ye Xiyuan’s question, Murong Yanshu waved her hand nonchalantly and replied, “He won’t be coming tonight. He’s currently abroad! He left for overseas right after the New Year’s Day, as there’s an important business deal he’s handling. He hasn’t returned to the country yet.”

Ye Xiyuan understood and nodded. She then smiled and commented, “Mr. Nangong seems to be very busy!’

As she spoke, she instinctively glanced at Murong Yanshu, waiting for her to correct the way she addressed the Nangong family head. She had already started calling Murong Yanshu her Godmother, so shouldn’t she address the Nangong family head as Godfather? However, she couldn’t directly raise this issue; Murong Yanshu would need to bring it up.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Xiyuan’s remark, Murong Yanshu merely nodded and said, “Alright, it’s almost time and the guests are here. Let’s go up to the stage!’

Ye Xiyuan felt a bit disappointed, but the anticipation of being in the spotlight on stage quickly improved her mood.

Murong Yanshu led Ye Xiyuan onto the stage, with Nangong Xuyao following suit. The music that had been playing came to a stop, and everyone’s attention shifted to the stage.

Ye Li and Lin Wanqin observed Ye Xiyuan on stage with comforting expressions. Ye Anvun was also in a good mood because she knew that Li Qiaomeng would soon be released thanks to Ye Xiyuan’s plea. He felt a newfound gratitude toward his sister. Seeing his sister now standing on stage like a princess, he couldn’t help but feel happy for her.

Murong Yanshu stood on the stage, accepted the microphone from a waiter, and began speaking, “I’d like to thank everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this banquet I’ve organized. 1 believe you all know the reason behind this event.’

At this point, she turned to look at Ye Xiyuan and smiled, saying, “Xiyuan, come here.’

Ye Xiyuan, who had been standing at the side, couldn’t help but look puzzled upon hearing Murong Yanshu’s words. Especially when she mentioned it was a personal banquet, her confusion deepened. However, she couldn’t overthink it in this situation.

Responding to Murong Yanshu!s call, Ye Xiyuan immediately stepped forward and joined her on stage, wearing a dignified smile.

Murong Yanshu shifted her gaze away from Ye Xiyuan, addressing the audience, and continued, “As many of you are aware, an incident occurred at our previous gathering. If it hadn’t been for Xiyuan saving me, I might have ended up in the hospital. Afterward, I realized that Xiyuan and I really clicked, so I decided to take her as my goddaughter. From today onward, Xiyuan is my goddaughter. 1 hope you all will take good care of her.”

With her speech concluded, she turned to Ye Xiyuan and asked with a smile, “Xiyuan, would you like to say a few words?”

Unbeknownst to her, Ye Xiyuan failed to detect any oddity in Murong Yanshu’s words. She approached the microphone, accepted it with a smile, and spoke,

“Hello, everyone. I’m Ye Xiyuan. I’m thrilled to become the goddaughter of the

Nangong family. Looking forward to knowing and learning from you in the future.’

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the guests varied. Clearly, everyone who had been invited knew that this banquet was organized in Murong Yanshu’s personal capacity. In other words, this event was about her accepting a goddaughter, with no connection to the Nangong family.

However, Ye Xiyuan had just declared herself as the Nangong family’s goddaughter, seemingly unaware of her impropriety.

Murong Yanshu had also heard this, and a shadow of disappointment flickered in her eyes, reducing her favorable impression of Ye Xiyuan. Nevertheless, she refrained from commenting, understanding that the attendees were perceptive enough to discern whether Ye Xiyuan was her goddaughter or the Nangong family’s.

Ye Xiyuan remained oblivious to the peculiar glances from the audience. Instead, the Ye family, situated among the guests, couldn’t help but notice the anomaly. However, despite their awareness, they couldn’t warn Ye Xiyuan on stage at this critical juncture and were left to anxiously wait.

At this moment, Lin Wanqin couldn’t help but recall the words spoken by Ye Lengan. She had a foreboding sense of unease.

After setting down the microphone, Ye Xiyuan obediently returned to Murong Yanshu’s side.

With her speech concluded, they were about to leave the stage. Unexpectedly, Nangong Xuyao stepped forward, taking hold of the microphone.

“I have a few words to say.”

His declaration instantly captured everyone’s attention.

Murong Yanshu and Ye Xiyuan didn’t rush to leave the stage, instead, they awaited Nangong Xuyao’s words.

Nangong Xuyao cleared his throat and stated bluntly, “First, 1 want to clarify something. Today, my mother is taking in a goddaughter, not the Nangong family. This distinction is crucial, so I hope no one misunderstands.”

Ye Xiyuan, who had been wearing a smile, widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing Nangong Xuyao’s words. Simultaneously, she recalled Murong Yanshu’s actions and words. In an instant, the blood drained from her face, leaving her exceptionally pale..
