Chapter 520: Whetting Her Appetite
"Why, do you miss me so much?"
"You miss me when you can't see me for a moment?"
The man's deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears.
The two of them actually separated just an hour ago.
After Ye Jiuqing finished speaking, he held her hand.
Ella looked back at him and tried to pull her hand away.
But he held on tight.
"What are you doing? You're sitting here so blatantly. What if they see you?"
Ella was mainly worried that their plans would be affected if their relationship was discovered.
Ye Jiuqing: "I'm holding my own wife, what am I afraid of?"
Ye Jiuqing grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
Ms. Ling, who was standing by, listened to their conversation and just smiled without disturbing them.
Ella: “…”
Since he is not afraid, then she has no reason to be afraid.
In fact, after Ye Jiuqing sat down next to her, someone noticed them.
They are all watching secretly.
At the same time, it also aroused their curiosity.
There were some rumors leaked in the circle before, saying that Mr. Helan was interested in recruiting his grandson-in-law.
It’s just that at that time, everyone didn’t dare to publicize it because of the status of the Helan family.
So as not to cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.
Now, when everyone saw the two sitting together, they used their rich imagination.
Everyone was speculating that Old Man Helan originally wanted to find a husband for Helan Lingshuang.
Everyone in the upper class knows that Helan Lingshuang is the most beloved granddaughter of old man Helan, so naturally he will find the best for her.
Ye Jiuqing is a top-notch person in terms of both appearance and power. Many noble families want to curry favor with him, but unfortunately he just ignores them.
They observed the two of them and discussed in low voices.
"You think they are already together?"
"It's hard to say. Rumor has it that Ye Jiuqing never lets women get close to him, but this time, he actually took the initiative to sit next to Helan Lingshuang. There must be something fishy going on."
"However, these two seem to be quite a good match. Mr. Helan has excellent taste."
"If Ye Jiuqing goes with her, then the power of the Helan family's eldest branch will be truly unmatched."
"It seems that this old man Helan is still partial to this family as always."
As we all know, Helan Wanli had five wives in total, but his favorite was the eldest wife.
Moreover, only the eldest lady had lived in the Helan old house, while the other four had never lived in the old house.
But each of them has a house outside that belongs to them.
"No matter what, according to tradition, the child born to the First Madam is the eldest son, and the child born to the eldest son is naturally the eldest grandson, so the status of those on the First Madam's side is definitely more noble. It's only natural that the old man dotes on them. After all, the Helan family's current status is inseparable from the First Madam. This also shows that the old man Helan hasn't forgotten his roots and hasn't treated the First Madam's children harshly just because she's gone."
"That's right. As outsiders, we shouldn't comment too much on other people's private affairs. If they are really together, we should just wish them the best."
Everyone was talking at once, but no one said anything out of the ordinary.
On this side, Ella pulled her hand out of Ye Jiuqing's hand.
It’s not that she was afraid of being seen by others, but this man kept tickling her palm, which made her feel itchy inside.
Also, she could still feel the eyes of so many people looking at them, after all, she was not blind.
As soon as she pulled away, he tried to grab it back.
But she dodged it and turned her body to hold Ms. Ling's hand.
"Mom, he harassed me."
Ella looked at Ling Xiyuan and complained directly.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Ling said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Why is Xiaoye harassing you?"
Ella: “…He touched my hand.”
Ms. Ling replied: "Then why don't you just touch it back?"
“…”
"Mom, am I still your daughter?"
"Yes, but Xiaoye is also my son-in-law. I love him dearly."
Ella pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, I didn't ask."
Ling Xiyuan poked her head out, looked at Ye Jiuqing, and asked gently, "Xiaoye, how is your injury recovering?"
Ye Jiuqing replied with a smile: "Mom, I'm recovering well, don't worry, Shuang'er takes good care of me."
Ling Xiyuan felt relieved after hearing him say that. "I'm glad you're okay, but you still have to take care of yourself, okay?"
"Okay, Mom, I understand."
Then, Ms. Ling looked at Ella, who was holding her arm, and said, "You, don't always get angry with Xiaoye. His injury has just healed. You should keep an eye on him."
Ella: "...No, Mom, how could I be angry with him? Didn't you hear me just now? He just said that he's recovering well and it's all thanks to me who took care of him."
Ms. Ling said, "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, not to mention Xiaoye's injuries are internal. It's only been less than two weeks, so he definitely hasn't recovered yet."
“…”
Ella simply shut up and stopped talking.
Because she knew that no matter what she said, her mother would always have something to say back to her.
There is no way to suppress the bloodline.
Half an hour later.
The engagement party is about to begin.
The Lei family also put a lot of thought into it, and this engagement party was in no way inferior to the wedding.
Two words: grand!
Four words: very grand!
The entire engagement banquet was arranged by the Lei family.
After the elders of both families finished their speeches, the newlyweds entered.
Ella sat in the chair and glanced back.
Raymond held Helan Yaoyue's hand and walked slowly along the red carpet path in the middle.
You know what, the two of them are quite a match.
Her gaze lingered on the two of them for a few seconds before she looked away.
The next second, her eyes fell on Helan Yaofei.
She thought she wouldn't come today, but she came after all.
Helan Yaofei's eyes were always on the two people on the red carpet.
Suddenly, Helan Yaofei realized that someone was looking at her.
Just like that, the two looked at each other.
Ella didn't dodge, she smiled at her and looked away.
Helan Yaofei stared at her for a few seconds, then her eyes fell on Ye Jiuqing who was next to her.
She saw them sitting together at the old house that day, and now they were sitting together again.
Could it be that these two people are related?
And her intuition told her that the two of them must have an embarrassing relationship, and the atmosphere between them was too ambiguous.
Could it be that Helan Lingshuang’s husband, whom she had never met, was Ye Jiuqing?
