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?"

"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."
