Chapter 741: An Ominous Premonition

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words, Ye Leng’an wasn’t the least bit angry. Instead, she chuckled. “My affairs are none of your concern. You should focus on yourself! Just because you’ve managed to rope in an illegitimate child of the Nangong family, do you really think highly of yourself?”

“Ye Leng’an, let go of me.” Ye Xiyuan struggled to free herself from her grasp. “I’m telling you, I won’t let this go. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll make sure you pay for it.”

“Suit yourself!” Ye Leng’an nonchalantly replied. “But I think you should remember, we’re in a school! For the safety of the students, there are cameras all over the place.”

While speaking, she lifted her head, glancing at a nearby camera with a blinking red light.

Ye Leng’an’s words darkened Ye Xiyuan’s expression even more. In her anger, she had forgotten about this detail.

Observing the disheartened Ye Xiyuan, Ye Leng’an smirked. “Ye Xiyuan, do you keep provoking me repeatedly because you think I’m an easy target?”

“Ye Leng’an, this is a public place. If you dare to harm me, you won’t escape the consequences.” Fear crept into Ye Xiyuan’s heart as she struggled to suppress the panic. She continued, “And if you lay a finger on me, Nangong Riming won’t spare you. Even the head of the Huangfu family won’t be able to protect you.”

“Hehe, Ye Xiyuan, I’m different from you.” Ye Leng’an smirked confidently. “You’ll always depend on others for protection, but I have the ability to protect myself. I’m not afraid, not even of the entire Nangong family, let alone Nangong Riming.”

With confidence radiating from her, Ye Leng’an spoke. Witnessing this, Ye Xiyuan felt an intensifying mix of jealousy and resentment. She detested the self-assured manner Ye Leng’an portrayed as if she had everything under control, an unattainable level of confidence she had never possessed. Throughout her life, she had been cautious, fearing that one wrong move would lead to losing everyone’s attention.

But what about Ye Leng’an? She never sought approval, yet she thrived more than her. Just like in her past life, Ye Leng’an was the same – never competing for anything, yet ultimately taking away everything that belonged to her

Remembering her past, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes reddened, and she seemed to descend into madness. “Ye Leng’an, don’t make it sound so righteous. The only reason you dare to boast here is because you seduced the head of the Huangfu family. Without his protection, do you truly believe you can contend with me? Don’t be too pleased with yourself, Ye Leng’an. Your luck won’t last forever. When Master Huangfu grows tired of you, what pride will you have then?”

Unaffected by Ye Xiyuan’s words, Ye Leng’an retorted, “Say whatever you want. But since you know Huangfu Ruiling stands behind me, why provoke me so recklessly? Tell me, what lesson should I teach you this time?”

Exerting all her strength, Ye Xiyuan finally broke free from Ye Leng’an’s restraint.

After freeing herself, Ye Xiyuan took several steps back. Feeling within what she considered a safe zone, she continued, “Ye Leng’an, I’ll remember the slap you gave me today. You won’t get away with this.”

“I’ll be waiting.” Ye Leng’an smiled faintly. “However, since you chose to provoke me today, it’s better to settle scores one by one.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Xiyuan, with an increasingly ominous feeling, questioned, especially seeing Ye Leng’an’s composed expression. “I’m telling you, if you dare to harm me and ruin my engagement with Nangong Riming, my fiancé won’t spare you. Then, let’s see who can protect you.”

“Fiancé, huh?” Ye Leng’an nodded, adding, “Say it a few more times! Because how long this fiancé can last is still unknown!”

“Ye Leng’an, what are you planning?” Ye Xiyuan grew more frantic. “If you ruin my engagement with Nangong Riming, I’ll kill you. I promise I’ll kill you.”

For her, the most crucial matter now was her engagement with Nangong Riming. It was her sole opportunity to connect with the Nangong family and the cornerstone for her survival in the Ye family.

Without the engagement, she would have nothing left. She didn’t even know what kind of life awaited her.

“Didn’t you already guess what I want to do?” Ye Leng’an remained calm compared to Ye Xiyuan’s outbursts. “As for wanting to kill me, haven’t you thought about it long ago? Even if I do nothing, I’ll still be a thorn in your side. So why not take some action? It’s more cost-effective, isn’t it?”

Ye Leng’an’s words heightened Ye Xiyuan’s anxiety. She didn’t know if Ye Leng’an truly intended to ruin her engagement with Nangong Riming or if she was just making threats.

“You’re just trying to scare me. You can’t do it.” Ye Xiyuan forced herself to sound composed, uncertain if she was trying to convince Ye Leng’an or reassure herself. “Even with Master Huangfu backing you, you can’t meddle in the internal affairs of the Nangong family.”

“Then wait and see!” Ye Leng’an grinned. “However, don’t forget, you brought this upon yourself.”

If Ye Xiyuan hadn’t been persistently irritating her, she would have almost forgotten about this person.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiyuan was resilient. She would come to her periodically to assert her presence. In that case, Ye Leng’an would make sure she remembered this lesson well.

After saying this, Ye Leng’an turned around and left, not bothering to look at Ye Xiyuan again.

Left standing alone, Ye Xiyuan felt an unprecedented sense of panic. She tried to reassure herself that Ye Leng’an was only trying to frighten her, that she couldn’t actually do anything. However, even so, she couldn’t shake off her unease.

After some thought, she promptly decided to seek out Nangong Riming. Regardless of the situation, as long as she held Nangong Riming’s affection, she wouldn’t have to worry about Ye Leng’an’s schemes.
