PRETEND

As soon as these words left her mouth, Bai Nuanxi clearly noticed Wang Binyi's silence. It seemed there was indeed more to the story, something she wasn't allowed to know, yet something that had to be shared with Huo Muchen. But what could it be?

Bai Nuanxi pondered for a moment. If she didn't overthink it or delve into family secrets, it was quite simple—likely just a matter between men and women. If Huo Muchen was to be informed but she wasn't, then the implication seemed obvious. Could it be that Wang Binyi wanted to introduce a relative to Huo Muchen?

No, wait—she had just mentioned her daughter's situation, being pressured into marriage and seeking Huo Muchen's help while keeping her in the dark…

How laughable.

Bai Nuanxi could feel an invisible line of frustration creep down her forehead. What was this? Was Wang Binyi really trying to offer up her daughter to her husband right in front of her?
