Chapter 825: I’m Just Informing You

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an were in the office discussing plans for the upcoming New Year when there was a sudden knock on the door.

After receiving permission, Li San entered and approached Huangfu Ruiling respectfully. “Master, Madam from the ancestral mansion called. She wants to discuss New Year arrangements with you.”

Upon hearing Li San’s report, Ye Leng’an looked surprised. She raised her head and glanced at Huangfu Ruiling. “Haven’t you informed them yet?”

They had already decided to spend the New Year together, so Ye Leng’an assumed Huangfu Ruiling had already informed his family. She didn’t expect Huangfu Ruiling to remain silent even with the New Year approaching.

Huangfu Ruiling was momentarily taken aback. Then, he glanced at Ye Leng’an and replied, “I forgot.”

In truth, the matter hadn’t crossed his mind. He was accustomed to doing things his own way and didn’t feel the need to inform anyone of his decisions. This time was no exception.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling’s expression, Ye Leng’an understood the situation. She shook her head with a smile and said, “You should answer the call. At least acknowledge it.”

She knew Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t particularly sentimental toward his parents, but certain events like the New Year still required acknowledgment.

After Ye Leng’an’s remark, Huangfu Ruiling took the phone from Li San and answered coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Initially, Zhongyu Liuying was concerned that Huangfu Ruiling might refuse the call, embarrassing her in front of Nangong Xiyu.

However, upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s icy tone, she couldn’t help but shiver. She quickly composed herself, knowing her reaction was excessive. “Ruiling, it’s nothing major. With the New Year approaching, I just wanted to ask when you plan to return to the ancestral home. Many activities are starting soon, but the sacrificial arrangements are the priority.”

Large families like the Huangfu family held sacrificial rituals annually to honor their ancestors before the New Year.

Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brow and replied coldly, “I won’t be going back to the ancestral mansion this year. As for the sacrifice, leave it to Father and Second Uncle.”

“What?” Zhongyu Liuying’s voice rose in astonishment. “You, as the head of the Huangfu family, can’t just disregard tradition like this, Ruiling.”

Upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s response, Nangong Xiyu couldn’t help but sit up straight, putting aside her previous disagreements with Zhongyu Liuying. She just wanted to understand the situation.

While she could infer some details from Zhongyu Liuying’s words, Huangfu Ruiling’s decision not to return for the New Year troubled her.

Like Zhongyu Liuying, she understood that Huangfu Ruiling, as the family head, should attend such significant events.

“I’ve made my decision,” Huangfu Ruiling asserted firmly. “I’m informing you, not seeking your opinion.”

His cold words sent a chill down Zhongyu Liuying’s spine.

It dawned on her that the person on the other end of the line wasn’t just her son but also the head of the Huangfu family. Regardless of his decisions, she had no say.

Realizing this, Zhongyu Liuying felt disheartened and wondered if her son was a disappointment.

Though Nangong Xiyu didn’t know Huangfu Ruiling’s response, she could sense from Zhongyu Liuying’s expression that things weren’t going smoothly.

Facing Nangong Xiyu’s scrutinizing gaze, Zhongyu Liuying took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I understand. However, as the family head, you need to attend the sacrifice. And since you’re engaged to Leng’an, shouldn’t she participate in the sacrifice too? It’s an opportunity for her to meet the ancestors of the Huangfu family.”

Though Huangfu Ruiling’s decision not to return for the New Year troubled Zhongyu Liuying, she knew she couldn’t push further without embarrassing herself. However, she felt obligated to bring up the sacrifice. If Huangfu Ruiling skipped it, the family would surely gossip.

When the time came, nobody would dare to gossip about Huangfu Ruiling. Ultimately, the ones who would bear the blame would be her and Nangong Xiyu. After all, they were the ones responsible for the domestic affairs. Moreover, her responsibility would outweigh Nangong Xiyu’s, as she was Huangfu Ruiling’s biological mother.

Therefore, no matter what, she had to persuade Huangfu Ruiling to attend the sacrifice. So, even if it was against protocol for Ye Leng’an to attend the sacrifice, she had to bring it up.

She was well aware of how important Ye Leng’an was in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. By bringing Ye Leng’an into the discussion, she hoped to convince Huangfu Ruiling to attend the sacrifice, regardless of protocol.

Upon hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s mention of the sacrifice, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but furrow his brow. After a moment’s thought, he responded, “Inform me once the date for the sacrifice is set. I’ll bring An’an with me.”

“Good!”

Zhongyu Liuying wanted to say more, but the call was abruptly disconnected.

Nevertheless, Huangfu Ruiling’s agreement to attend the sacrifice was a relief.

Seeing Zhongyu Liuying hang up the phone, Nangong Xiyu quickly asked, “How did it go? Will Ruiling return for the New Year?”

“No.” Zhongyu Liuying shook her head, changing the subject. “But he has agreed to attend the pre-New Year sacrifice.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiyu frowned. “He won’t come back for the New Year? Isn’t that undesirable?”
