Huangfu Ruixiang's face was grim, unable to find any words to refute Ye Leng'an's remarks.
But more importantly, he dared not utter a word of disagreement or risk further offending Ye Leng'an. He feared that in a fit of anger, Ye Leng'an might actually bring up the matter with Huangfu Ruiling.
Observing Huangfu Ruixiang's subdued demeanor, Ye Leng'an spoke with a cold smile, "Consider this a lesson for you. Think twice before you speak or act in the future. Otherwise, you may face consequences beyond your endurance."
Though Ye Leng'an had briefly entertained the idea, she had no intention of actually changing Huangfu Ruixiang's surname. It was merely a scare tactic.
However, if Huangfu Ruixiang continued to insist, she might indeed bring up the matter directly with Huangfu Ruiling.
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, both Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were genuinely worried that today's events might have repercussions for them.
