Chapter 19 Ye Lingling's Social Anxiety and Tang Yuehua's Shock!
Chapter 19 Ye Lingling's Social Anxiety and Tang Yuehua's Shock!
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue!
"Mother!" Ye Lingling raised her head abruptly upon hearing her mother's extremely bold words, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Her face flushed bright red from her ears to her neck, as if blood could drip from it.
Let her...let her live with a little boy she's only met three times? This...how can this be allowed!
However, Ye Rou'er seemed not to notice her daughter's protest. Instead, she turned her head and winked playfully at Ye Lingling, her eyes carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Ye Lingling's face flushed red from her ears to her neck in an instant.
She glanced quickly at Tang Ren, then, like a startled fawn, lowered her head shyly, twisting the hem of her clothes helplessly with her hands.
She never expected that her usually dignified mother would propose such a... such a bold thing!
No one knew that her aloof, icy demeanor was actually just a protective layer she wore on the outside world.
In fact, she is very afraid of interacting with strangers, especially men.
In modern terms from Tang Ren's previous life, she was a typical "socially anxious" person.
Her mother's suggestion was even more terrifying to her than facing a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Making her live with a boy is even more embarrassing than making her fight with spirit beasts.
Tang Ren was also taken aback by Ye Rou'er's words, but having lived two lives, his mind was far more mature than that of a child, and he instantly understood her intentions.
This is not just about cultivating rapport, but also about binding him, this "potential star," to our team in advance.
He hesitated for a moment, then answered earnestly in a tone befitting his age:
"Aunt Ye, I'm afraid I can't make this decision on my own. My parents aren't in Tiandou City, and I'm currently living here with my aunt. If possible, I think... you should talk to my aunt."
"Oh? Your aunt?" A look of understanding flashed in Ye Rou'er's eyes. She nodded and readily agreed.
"That's only right. We were being presumptuous. Shall we go visit your aunt now?"
Tang Ren nodded, went back to the teaching building first, and asked the teacher for leave.
Then, he led Ye Lingling and her daughter towards Yuexuan.
When the carriage stopped in front of the elegant and magnificent Yuexuan building, a deep look of surprise flashed in Ye Rou'er's eyes.
Although she wasn't often in Tiandou City, she had heard of Yuexuan's great name.
This is no ordinary building, but the Royal Etiquette Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire. Those who enter and leave this place are all royalty and nobles!
She never expected that Tang Ren's aunt would be here!
Is she the etiquette teacher here, or...?
Filled with this surprise and doubt, the three of them entered the Moon Pavilion.
Once you step inside, the noise of the outside world is completely shut out.
The melodious and pleasant piano music lingered in my ears, as if it could cleanse my soul and make me feel refreshed and relaxed.
Inside the hall, several simply dressed but exceptionally elegant young women stood on either side.
When they saw Tang Ren, their eyes revealed heartfelt respect, and they quickly lowered their heads, bowing respectfully: "Young Master."
Tang Ren nodded and asked, "Where is my aunt?"
A young girl replied respectfully, "Young master, the madam is upstairs, giving lessons to His Highness the Crown Prince."
The First Prince—Xue Qinghe!
lady?!
These two words, like two thunderclaps, exploded simultaneously in the hearts of Ye Rou'er and Ye Lingling!
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in each other's eyes!
Who else but Tang Yuehua, the mistress of Yuexuan, could be the one to teach the Crown Prince of the Empire?!
They never expected that the aunt of this six-year-old boy whose first spirit ring was a thousand years old was actually this legendary woman in the upper class of Heaven Dou City!
Tang Ren seemed to be used to all of this. He said to the girl, "After your aunt finishes class, please ask her to come to the reception room."
After saying that, he led Ye Lingling and her daughter, who were still somewhat dazed, into an elegant reception room next door.
The top floor is a private space shared by him and his aunt, and it's not convenient to bring outsiders up there, so they can only wait here.
Soon, a young girl entered carrying fine tea and exquisite pastries. She respectfully placed the tea and pastries on the tea tables in front of the three people, then quietly withdrew without making a sound.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, accompanied by a light footstep, a graceful and elegant figure appeared at the entrance of the reception room.
Tang Yuehua wore a light blue palace dress, exuding elegance and unparalleled beauty.
When she saw Ye Rou'er and her daughter in the reception room, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
But she recovered immediately, with a flawless smile on her face. Her words and actions, every smile and frown, exuded a noble air that ran deep in her bones, leaving no room for criticism.
"Xiao Ren, who are these two?" she asked softly, her gaze lingering for a moment on Ye Lingling's shy face.
"Auntie." Tang Ren stood up.
"This is Senior Ye from my college, and this is her mother!"
"Aunt Ye, Senior Ye, this is my aunt."
After introductions, Tang Yuehua gracefully sat down next to Tang Ren, and the atmosphere then became more focused.
When Ye Rou'er recounted in detail how Tang Ren and Ye Lingling possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and had just successfully used it, even Tang Yuehua, a person accustomed to seeing big scenes, was completely shocked!
Her hand holding the teacup paused almost imperceptibly in mid-air!
Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
As a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect and the younger sister of the former "Haotian Twin Stars," she understood better than anyone the significance of those five words!
This is not only a multiplier of strength, but also a shackle of destiny!
Her gaze fell on Ye Lingling again, this time with scrutiny and satisfaction.
This girl has a cool and aloof temperament, stunning beauty, and a top-tier martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia. Whether it's her talent or her family background, she is practically perfect.
As Tang Ren's partner, she is indeed a good match.
The second brother, Tang Hao, is elusive and rarely seen.
Now, Tang Ren's affairs can only be decided by her, his aunt.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua put down her teacup, and a gentler and more sincere smile appeared on her face.
She looked at Ye Rou'er and made her decision in a tone that was both undeniable and comforting:
"Madam Ye, on behalf of Xiao Ren's parents, I grant your request. Let the two children live together and nurture their relationship and understanding."
Having received an affirmative answer, Ye Rou'er finally felt relieved.
Next, the two women, representing their respective families, began to discuss the specific details.
From whether the two should reside in Yuexuan or Ye Mansion, to what level of guards should be arranged to ensure their safety, and how to explain the matter to the outside world... every detail was carefully and meticulously considered.
Meanwhile, Tang Ren and Ye Lingling, sitting to the side, became the quietest "observers" in this meeting that would determine their future fate.
