Xiao Se truly had not expected Mother to take an interest in such outside trifles.
"Qing Yan Jing. She looked like she was only in her early twenties. Mother, do you know her?"
"I can only say I've heard of her."
Having confirmed what she had been thinking, Yao Wan's tone was flat, and she even added an emoji of someone lying flat.
It seemed the time was indeed almost here.
"Xiao Xiao, come back first and get a good sleep. Following Xiao Se out must have been rather tiring, right?"
"Not really. I feel like the amount of time I'm awake is slowly getting longer—"
"Then that's truly wonderful."
Since she could say so herself, that was naturally the best thing possible.
"Still, now that you mention it, it's a little regrettable. If we could lure away Maha Tian's little bride, who knows how furious the Maha Ancient Clan would be?"
"But if we really did that, never mind that the Maha Ancient Clan already dislikes us to begin with, the Budur Ancient Clan couldn't possibly stay quiet either, right? It's just that compared with the Maha Ancient Clan, they're much more well-behaved. If someone snatched away the person they had already agreed would be engaged, the host family definitely wouldn't be happy."
Although that was indeed true, no matter how one looked at it, there was a faint sense of eagerness in those words.
"However, the odds of her meekly accepting her fate probably aren't high either."
Seeing how everyone absolutely could not stand the Maha Ancient Clan having anything good, Yao Wan smiled inwardly, and even the characters that emerged carried a faint trace of cheer.
"Huh?"
A whole string of emojis representing confusion and curiosity instantly filled the field of view.
"Mm? You still haven't realized?
