Since the last business banquet, Qin Zhen's patience with Ling Bing'er had been completely exhausted. His growing aversion was evident as he responded to her words with a curt 'Hmm'.
Ling Bing'er could naturally sense his mood and, upon glancing at Wei Jiu'er, she hesitated. Wei Jiu'er gave her an encouraging look.
Ling Bing'er had no choice but to muster up some courage and speak, "Brother, I heard from Aunt that she agrees to your marriage with Jiu'er. So, what are your plans?" Today, Wei Jiu'er had asked her to inquire about their marriage in a roundabout way, and she had no intention of doing so. After all, she was well aware of Qin Zhen's current displeasure toward her. However, she could not ignore the fact that if Wei Jiu'er became her sister-in-law, she would need her assistance in many ways, so she reluctantly came.
Qin Zhen did not answer her question directly but instead turned to Wei Jiu'er and asked, "Did you ask her to talk to me about this?"
