Chapter 1023: Dropping out

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“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?”

Despite trying to keep a straight face, Ling Weiwei couldn’t hide her discomfort around Ye Leng’an. She now understood the gap between them.

“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?”

“If you want to meet him, make sure to come to my wedding,” Ye Leng’an teased, shaking her head. “You can check him out then. He’s just a regular guy.”

“Wait, are you inviting me?” Zhu Bixuan felt like she’d just won the lottery. “Am I dreaming? Will I really get to attend the wedding of Master Huangfu?”

Despite being Ye Leng’an’s roommate, she understood her position well. So, even though she knew Ye Leng’an was engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, she never imagined she’d attend Ye Leng’an’s wedding one day. After all, as one of the four major families in the capital, the Huangfu family was slightly overshadowing the other three.

Plus, despite their bickering, Ye Leng’an didn’t spend much time here. While they were closer than regular classmates, they weren’t exactly best friends.

But now, Ye Leng’an was inviting her to the wedding. It felt surreal, like a dream.

“You guys are my roomies, right? It’s only natural to have you there,” Ye Leng’an said, raising an eyebrow. “Or are you trying to decline my invitation?”

Ling Weiwei was taken aback.

When Ye Leng’an invited Zhu Bixuan, Ling Weiwei wanted to ask outright. But when the words reached her lips, she couldn’t bring herself to say them.

Normally, Zhu Bixuan was the one who got along best with Ye Leng’an in their dorm. Ling Weiwei was self-aware enough to know she and Ye Leng’an were just roommates, and they’d even had some clashes at first. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ye Leng’an didn’t invite her. But deep down, she was eager to attend.

It wasn’t just Ye Leng’an’s wedding; it was also the Huangfu family patriarch’s wedding. People attending this wedding were definitely rich or high up in society.

It wasn’t about vanity. Mingling with these people could be a big boost for her future. But if Ye Leng’an hadn’t invited her, she wouldn’t have asked.

But after hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ling Weiwei wondered if she was actually invited.

“We’re totally in!” Zhu Bixuan turned to Ling Weiwei with a grin. “Right, Weiwei?”

Under Zhu Bixuan’s gaze, Ling Weiwei blushed and nodded, mumbling in agreement.

Avoiding eye contact with Ye Leng’an, she didn’t want to overthink things. But when she noticed Ye Leng’an didn’t object, she felt relieved.

Zhu Bixuan, oblivious to Ling Weiwei’s subtle feelings, grabbed Ye Leng’an and kept questioning, “So when’s the big day? You’re still pretty young. Shouldn’t rush it, right?”

“Probably next year.” Ye Leng’an pondered for a moment. “We might tie the knot on my twentieth birthday.”

Originally, she planned to wait until after graduation to get hitched. But just a few days ago, Huangfu Ruiling came to discuss an earlier wedding. Initially hesitant, she eventually agreed after his persistent persuasion. She figured since she was getting married anyway, why not do it sooner? Plus, strictly speaking, she’d be an old-timer by then. It was only this new lease on life that made her feel youthful.

“That’s quick!” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed, surprised. “I thought you’d wait until graduation at least.”

Ye Leng’an just smiled, offering no response.

Zhu Bixuan wasn’t expecting an answer anyway, so she moved on. “By the way, we’ve got an empty bed in our dorm. Do you think the school will assign someone to fill it?”

Ye Leng’an was taken aback by Zhu Bixuan’s revelation.

Then, as if realizing Ye Leng’an wasn’t aware, Zhu Bixuan clarified, “Leng’an, you didn’t know, did you? Zhou Cui’an officially dropped out. The school initially suspended her, but her parents came and sorted out her withdrawal. She’s not coming back.”

Finishing her explanation, Zhu Bixuan sighed. She couldn’t fathom why Zhou Cui’an made such a decision. Dropping out left no chance of returning to Capital University. Even if she went back to high school and tried again, she couldn’t rejoin Capital University. That was because Capital University had a strict policy: once you dropped out, you couldn’t return.
