Chapter 1023: Dropping out

"Right!" Zhu Bixuan suddenly perked up, patting her head. "I almost forgot about this."

She leaned in closer to Ye Leng'an and nudged her shoulder, asking with a grin, "So, how does it feel to be the future matriarch of the Huangfu family?"

"Zhu Bixuan!" Before Ye Leng'an could respond, Ling Weiwei, standing nearby, frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm not just blabbering." Zhu Bixuan stuck out her tongue playfully. "I'm genuinely curious, that's all."

Ye Leng'an chuckled. "You're overthinking it. We're all just regular folks. What's the big deal? Plus, my fiancé is nothing out of the ordinary."

"You're too nonchalant about this, Leng'an!" Zhu Bixuan exclaimed. "That's the patriarch of the Huangfu family. Why are you so casual about it?"
