    She could naturally see the subtle intimacy between her son and Ye Xiyuan. What she wanted to do today was directly cut off any possibility between the two. Ye Xiyuan had just saved her, so this was the best decision.


    “Auntie, l…” Looking up at Murong Yanshu, Ye Xiyuan was now caught in a dilemma.


    To say she wasn’t willing would surely offend Murong Yanshu. She had just gained favorability with Murong Yanshu and didn’t want to lose it so easily.


    But if she agreed, then she would truly have no chance of being with Nangong Xuyao in the future. If she couldn’t marry into the Nangong family, she would be trampled under Ye Leng’an’s feet forever.


    “Mother, don’t force Xiyuan,” said Nangong Xuyao directly. “I don’t believe you can’t see my intentions. Aren’t you doing this now to cut off my thoughts?”<div>

    Nangong Xuyao’s words immediately wiped the smile from Murong Yanshu’s face. She nced coldly at Nangong Xuyao, her tone carrying a warning.


    “Xuyao, I’m asking Xiyuan right now, not you, so you needn’t speak for her. Also, you are the young master of the Nangong family, so 1 hope you’ll think carefully before uttering each word, whether can it be said or not.”


    She turned back to Ye Xiyuan, a sharpness in her eyes. “Xiyuan, don’t care about him. Just tell me whether you are willing or not.”


    “Auntie, I like you very much,” said Ye Xiyuan under Murong Yanshu’s piercing gaze. She nced at Nangong Xuyao, gritted her teeth, and continued, “But please forgive me, I cannot be your goddaughter.”


    Since Nangong Xuyao had spoken up, she naturally had to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if she really agreed today, it would likely be set in stone going forward.


    Hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words, Murong Yanshu narrowed her eyes and her tone was no longer as gentle as before. “Xiyuan, you saved me today, which is why I made this decision. You should know that by bing my goddaughter, the Nangong family will support your marriage in the future. This will definitely benefit you. Of course, I know what you’re thinking right now. You saved me today and I like you very much, so I don’t wish to say anything unpleasant. However, some words are unavoidable. I will be frank with you today! I’m not blind to the feelings between you and Xuyao. I’ve seen it all. But I will tell you the in truth today! Xiyuan, if you wish to marry Xuyao, it’s absolutely impossible. Xuyao is the young master of the Nangong family and its future head. Therefore, his marriage is not merely his personal affair but a major event for the entire Nangong family. His future wife, the future matriarch of the Nangong family, muste from a prestigious and noble background. To put it bluntly, you’re not up to par.”


    As Murong Yanshu spoke, the color drained from Ye Xiyuan’s face. After hearing this, her face was so pale itcked any trace of blood. She opened her mouth but found her throat seemed blocked, unable to utter a word.


    “Mother, you’ve gone too far,” said Nangong Xuyao, pain shing in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xiyuan. He turned to Murong Yanshu and said, “Xiyuan just saved you, yet now you say such things. Isn’t that inappropriate?”


    “My words may not be pleasant, but they are the truth,” said Murong Yanshu, releasing Ye Xiyuan’s hand and looking up at Nangong Xuyao. “Xuyao, you know very well I’m speaking the truth, right? As the young master of the Nangong family, you have your own duties. There are many things you cannot simply act on a whim about.”


    Murong Yanshu’s words left Nangong Xuyao unable to retort.


    At this moment, Murong Yanshu stood up and nced at Ye Xiyuan before continuing. “Xiyuan, you saved me today and I’m grateful. That’s why I’m willing to take you as my goddaughter. You needn’t rush to give me an answer. Go home and think it over carefully. You’re a smart girl and I believe you’ll make the best decision..</font>
