The conversation ended on a sour note.
Ye Leng'an stood up and left.
Meanwhile, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu remained seated, their expressions solemn. It was evident that both of them were feeling quite unsettled.
"Hongxuan, what do you think we should do now?" Lian Mengzhu's voice carried a hint of anguish. "Leng'an... she won't forgive us, will she?"
All Lian Mengzhu could discern from Ye Leng'an's words was resentment towards them, indicating an unwillingness to forgive. That seemed to be the underlying reason for her remarks.
"Don't dwell on it too much," Ye Hongxuan comforted. "Right now, Leng'an is just taking it hard. With time, she'll come around. She'll understand our intentions eventually."
"Will that day really come?" Lian Mengzhu sounded uncertain. "Leng'an... she seems very adamant."
