Chapter 987: Disappointment

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Yikun didn’t even lift an eyelid at Ye Hongxuan’s opinion. He simply spoke, his voice devoid of emotion, “Since the engagement is already settled, marriage is inevitable. Sooner or later makes no difference. Since both parties agree it’s better sooner, then an early marriage is beneficial.”

“But, Father, Wanwan is only eighteen.” Ye Hongxuan’s confidence wavered. “At her age, in the mortal world, she’d just be a high schooler. Why rush things?”

“This is the Hidden World,” Ye Yikun replied, his gaze cold as he looked at Ye Hongxuan. “Though Wanwan is young, her cultivation is not lacking. Moreover, Murong Xingrui is a suitable match, isn’t he? Or do you wish to ruin Wanwan’s marriage?”

Faced with his father’s indifferent gaze, Ye Hongxuan felt a pang of uncertainty. Eventually, he shook his head. “Father, you know that’s not what I meant. I’ve never opposed Wanwan marrying Murong Xingrui. I just think… perhaps a few more years…”

He found himself increasingly unable to understand his father. While previously dedicated to the Ye family’s interests, his father had never resorted to such means.

Especially recently, he had no clue about the secrets between his father and Wanwan. Wanwan’s sudden surge in cultivation, the rushed marriage discussions, and his father’s ambiguous stance – it all left him feeling uneasy.

“I’ve made my decision,” Ye Yikun said calmly, unperturbed. “Besides, an early marriage isn’t just my and Master Murong’s desire, but also Xingrui and Wanwan’s.”

Turning to Ye Wanwan, he asked directly, “Wanwan, what are your thoughts? If you’re not keen on marrying so soon, we can postpone it. Your wishes matter most.”

Ye Wanwan lifted her head, her tone resolute. “Grandfather, Xingrui and I will defer to the elders.”

Though unspoken, her agreement was clear- she also agreed to the idea of getting married as soon as possible.

Seeing Ye Wanwan’s stance, Ye Hongxuan felt deeply disappointed. He had tried to persuade her before, yet she hadn’t heeded his words. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken as she did.

Despite not being his biological daughter, he had never abandoned her, even after her true identity was revealed. He had even forsaken his own daughter for her. Yet, she seemed oblivious to his efforts. He was clueless about her actions even now.

With a shake of his head, Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, speaking resignedly, “Forget it, Wanwan. I can’t interfere in your matters anymore. I won’t meddle henceforth.”

It wasn’t a rash declaration but a harsh reality. Since Ye Wanwan was unwilling to confide in him, he saw no point in further involvement.

Ye Wanwan’s affairs were now solely his father’s concern. He couldn’t sway his father or his daughter, so the only option was to step back.

Observing Ye Hongxuan’s disappointment, Wanwan’s heart clenched, and she couldn’t help but call out, “Father!”

She sensed her father’s disappointment, yet she had no say in the matter. Previously, she would have been fearless, as the Ye family’s young lady, the embodiment of its lineage. But her true identity was now exposed. To remain in the family, she had to obey her grandfather, otherwise, she’d be displaced.

Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, indicating that Ye Wanwan didn’t need to say anything more. Ye Wanwan felt completely aggrieved in her heart, but she couldn’t say anything at all.

On the sidelines, Lian Mengzhu shared her husband’s sentiments. Wanwan was too young and needn’t rush into marriage.

However, it was her father’s decision. Even as Wanwan’s mother, she had no say. Despite her husband being the current family head, the ultimate authority still lay with his father.

Her father was the unquestioned authority in the Ye family. Any decision of his, whether she agreed or not, couldn’t be contested.

Moreover, the one who swapped Wanwan and Ye Leng’an wasn’t another but her own younger sister.

She knew Ye Yikun harbored dissatisfaction due to this incident. Had she not been married for years and behaved well, he might have demanded her divorce.

Though she was also a victim, her sister’s actions implicated her.

Seeing her husband and Wanwan, she wanted to intervene but couldn’t. All she could do was fret silently.

The matter of the marriage arrangement between the Murong family and the Ye family was not intentionally concealed, so many people from various families had already inquired about the news. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Many were taken aback by the sudden decision but found it somewhat logical upon reflection.

Given their prior engagement and the absence of any annulment after Ye Wanwan’s identity was exposed, it seemed the Murong family had accepted her status.

During the Elite Competition, Ye Wanwan had impressed many, attracting the Murong family’s attention. Hence, their desire for an early marriage seemed reasonable.

The next day, during the finals, Ye Hongxuan received numerous congratulations upon arrival. Despite his inner turmoil, he forced a smile in response to the warm greetings. Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan wore a bashful smile, genuinely happy.

Yet, the most surprising was Ye Yikun’s presence. During the competitions in the preceding days, Ye Yikun had never made an appearance. Unexpectedly, he showed up on the final day.
