TFWYH – Chapter 695 Shameless

“Her name is Yuanyuan,” Huangfu Yi replied without offering any further introduction.

However, Huangfu Que and Huangfu Xiao understood the implication immediately.

Since ancient times, when women introduced themselves, they would include their family name and social status.

An introduction like “Yuanyuan” alone left only two possibilities—either her status was low, or her identity could not be openly acknowledged.

Huangfu Que was rather proud by nature. Realizing that Yuanyuan’s background was not prestigious, the amazement in his eyes diminished considerably. He merely smiled without saying anything.

Huangfu Xiao, however, was entirely different.

From the moment he laid eyes on Yuanyuan, his gaze had never left her face.

It was blatant and completely undisguised.

Huangfu Yi frowned slightly. Taking a step to the side to block Huangfu Xiao’s line of sight, he said coldly,

“Eldest Brother, this way.”

Huangfu Xiao suddenly returned to his senses and lowered his eyes.

“Second Brother, you’re too courteous.”

Huangfu Yi: …

Who the hell is being courteous with you?

Don’t you have any awareness of your own age?

You’re old enough to be Yuanyuan’s father, yet you still have the nerve to stare at her like that!

Huangfu Xiao had no idea that, in Huangfu Yi’s mind, he had already become shameless.

The truth was that…

he had simply never encountered such a breathtaking beauty before.

His own Princess Consort was not particularly beautiful, nor did she possess much spirit. She was like a puppet on strings—utterly dull.

The various concubines in his residence were beautiful, but most of them sought to flatter him in order to gain benefits.

Tang Wan was beautiful as well, but she was cold and unapproachable, like a rose covered in thorns.

Yuanyuan was different.

She was extraordinarily beautiful, carrying an innate air of aloof elegance. There was no trace of greed or desire in her eyes; they were pure and unstained, like a blossoming white magnolia.

When she looked at someone, her gaze brimmed with affection, giving Huangfu Xiao the illusion that he was someone deeply important to her.

Those eyes were so gentle they seemed capable of dripping with tenderness.

Huangfu Xiao narrowed his eyes. When no one was paying attention, his gaze once again settled upon Yuanyuan’s slender figure.

This woman…

Yuanyuan noticed his gaze but pretended not to. Smiling gracefully, she greeted Ling Yu and the others.

No one noticed that when she exchanged greetings with Tang Wan, her eyes sparkled brightly as she looked at her.

The corners of Tang Wan’s lips unconsciously lifted into a smile.

“How has Eldest Young Lady been?”

“She’s doing well. We’ve been waiting for all of you,” Yuanyuan replied before leading everyone to see Huangfu Ronglan.

In truth, Huangfu Ronglan was rather frightened.

However, during this period, Yuanyuan had developed a deep bond of friendship with her, and Ronglan trusted her completely.

So when Yuanyuan encouraged her to greet everyone, even though she felt uncomfortable doing so, she still politely greeted them all.

Tang Wan took out several pieces of candy and handed them to her.

“Eldest Young Lady, don’t you remember me? I visited you before.”

Huangfu Ronglan stared blankly at the candy in Tang Wan’s hand, then looked at Yuanyuan beside her. After that, she bit her finger and gazed absentmindedly at Tang Wan’s face.

Tang Wan pressed the candy into her hand.

“It’s sweet. Give it a try.”

“Mhm!” Huangfu Ronglan smiled foolishly.

“If you eat more sweet things, then you won’t feel that life is bitter anymore.”

Tang Wan: …

Silently, she turned to look at Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan simply smiled back at her.

That smile instantly dazzled Huangfu Xiao.

“All right, let’s begin the parasite removal,” Ling Yu said, worried that Huangfu Yi might notice something suspicious.

Huangfu Yi nodded and solemnly cupped his hands toward Mu Qingfeng.

“If you can cure my daughter, I shall reward you generously.”

“You are too polite, Your Highness. Healing the sick is a physician’s duty,” Mu Qingfeng replied calmly.

Yet inwardly, he was grumbling nonstop.

Oh? So if I cure her, there’s a generous reward, but if I fail, there’s nothing?

As if I care about your reward anyway!

Mu Qingfeng requested a clean room in preparation for removing the parasite from Huangfu Ronglan.

Huangfu Yi had long since made arrangements.

He personally led them to a side hall within the Lin Garden Waterside Pavilion.
