Chapter 4: The Three-Year Promise
In the reception hall of the Xiao n, there was dead silence.
Ge Ye stared at Nn Yanran with a dumbfounded expression on his face, unable to process what was happening.
You see, originally, the Yun Sect Patriach Yun Yun was very against Nn Yanrans decision to break off the engagement. and if it werent for Nn Yanrans constant persuasion, Yun Yun would not have sent Ge Ye to support her.
But now that they was already here, Nn Yanran suddenly changed her mind.
Mistress ? Ive found him, Ive even prepared thepesation gift. Im also prepared to throw away my face for you
But now youre changing your mindst second!?
Not only was Ge Ye stunned, but so were Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
Anyone could see that Nn Yanrans original intention ining here was to break off the engagement. That was beyond doubt.
But upon seeing Xiao Yan, her attitude took a 180-degree turn, leaving everyones heads spinning.
Not only did she not mention breaking off the engagement, she also demanded that the wedding be held immediately?
Meanwhile, outside the hall, Xiao Ning and the others saw what was happening. Xiao Ning slowly came to his senses.
It seems that Xiao Yans cousin and Nn Yanran know each other beforehand. After seeing him, she didnt say a word about breaking off the engagement and instead demanded that the wedding take ce immidietly. Hey Xuner, Xiao Yan really is amazing.
Xiao Nings voice suddenly trailed off, looking at Xiao Xuner with a look of horror.
Oh, Xiao Yan is really popr, isnt he?
As she listened to Xiao Xuners extremely gloomy words, Xiao Nings body trembled uncontrobly and he couldnt help but swallow his saliva.
Obviously, Nn Yanrans words had touched on Xiao Xuners sore spot!
However, while Xiao Xuner could barely maintain herposure, Xiao Mei couldnt take it anymore and barged into the reception hall.
I object!
Xiao Meis objection brought the stunned crowd in the hall back to their senses. The second elder immediately red at his own granddaughter.
Meier, back down! This has nothing to do with you!
How does it have nothing to do with me? Xiao Yans business is my business! Xiao Mei then turned her head to re at Nn Yanran, pointing at her without any reservations, I say, youre originallye here to break off the engagement, arent you? I fully support you breaking off the engagement! Our Xiao n is not worthy of your Nn family! Xiao Yan is not worthy of you! After you break off the engagement, go back to being your little patriarch! No one is stopping you!
After Xiao Mei finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and the three elders faces turned particrly ugly.
Although it is an objective fact that the Xiao n cannotpare to the Nn family, it is also an objective fact that Xiao Yan is currently not worthy of Nn Yanran.
But as someone from the Xiao n, you cant say that. Isnt this pping your own face?
Although I know what Xiao Mei is trying to achieve, her words undoubtedly greatly insulted the reputation of the Xiao n.
Especially for the Second Elder, if there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to rush up and give his granddaughter a good spanking for saying such things!
Meanwhile, outside the door, Xiao Ning was holding his head in pain.
Oh my cousin Xiao Mei even though I understand your feelings, youre just belittling the Xiao n and Xiao Yan to the extreme out of nowhere like that.
Just then, Xiao Xuner also entered the meeting hall.
Keenly aware, Ge Ye noticed that when Xiao Xuner entered, the anger of the three elders, including Xiao Zhan, instantly disappeared, and there was even a deep sense of awe in the patriach eyes, which deeply furrowed Ge Yes brow.
Who exactly is Xiao Xuner?
Standing in front of Xiao Mei, Xiao Xuner gently ced her hand that was pointing at Nn Yanran back down and bowed to Xiao Zhan.
Patriach, three elders. Xiao Xuners face remained calm, and her ethereal voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall. Although Xiao Meis words were too rude, there is no problem with the reasoning behind them. Nowadays, marriage should be based on matching families.
As Nns family is flourishing, and Miss Nn Yanran is also intelligent and has been epted as the direct disciple of the head of Yun Sect, I believe that forcing the two families to intermarry may not be a good choice for both sides.
Originally, this engagement was a decision made by the two grandfathers without considering the feelings of the younger generation. Now, it would be more reasonable to cancel this engagement.
We would withdraw from the marriage ourself, but we dare not to ept any gifts. I hope that after today, Miss Nn Yanran will try to avoid any entanglements with the Xiao n and pursue a more outstanding future, which is what you deserve.
Xiao Xuners speech was neither humble nor overbearing, and she had sound arguments and a clear message.
If you dont cancel this engagement today, we will cancel it ourselves! Dont even think about entering the Xiao n as a daughter-inw!
I never said that I came here to cancel the engagement.
Regarding Xiao Xuners words, Nn Yanrans face was cold, and she looked down on Xiao Xuner from her high position.
Youre right, the engagement was made by our grandfathers and could have been disregarded by the younger generation. However, it just so happens that I am very satisfied with Xiao Yan and believe that he is worthy of being my husband. So I have decided on this engagement!
Nn Yanran wouldnt budge, but Xiao Xuner looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, showing a smile that was not very friendly.
So youre saying that Miss Nann is really fixated on big brother Xiao Yan?
I am already Xiao Yans fiance, so where does the fixatione from? Nn Yanran frowned slightly, staring fiercely at Xiao Xuner, In my opinion, its you whos clinging to my fianc, isnt it?
Boom!!!
Golden Dou Qi suddenly burst out from Xiao Xuners body, while Nn Yanran also didnt hold back, as her Dou Qi burst out to counter Xiao Xuners.
Things have really be troublesome now!
Seeing this scene, whether it was Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao n, or Ge Ye, the elder of the Yun Sect, they didnt know how to resolve the situation.
But between the two, Ge Ye was undoubtedly more conflicted than Xiao Zhan.
Should they still cancel the marriage or not?
Xuner, calm down.
Xiao Yan lightly patted Xiao Xuners shoulder, then looked towards Nn Yanran.
Little Glutton, put away your Dou Qi, the elders are all present, we cant be rude.
Dont call me Little Glutton again!!!
Hearing Xiao Yans address, Nn Yanrans face turned even redder, and she stamped her foot fiercely while scolding.
Okay, okay~ I wont call you that anymore.
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, then solemnly bowed to Nn Yanran.
Xiao Yan is honored by Miss Nns favor, but as my little sister said, there is a considerable gap in our status and strength. If Miss Nn insists on marrying me, Im afraid it would bring shame to Miss Nn and even the entire Nn n.
After hearing these words, Ge Ye actually felt a hint of goodwill towards Xiao Yan.
The boy is both modest and steady, he is neither arrogant nor impatient. If it werent for hisck of progress in cultivation, he would undoubtedly be someone great in the future.
I am who I am! I will decide my own life! It has nothing to do with the Nn n! Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Nn Yanran gently stroked her chest and dered in a stern voice, I have already decided on you! You are the only man I will marry in this life! I will not recognize anyone else!
Nn Yanran was extremely determined today. She absolutely would not cancel the marriage!
At this point, Ge Ye could no longer sit still. If he allowed this young mistress to continue to cause amotion, this matter would never end.
Miss Yanran, how about this
Ge Ye leaned in and whispered in Nn Yanrans ear, and her emotions visibly calmed down.
After Ge Ye finished speaking, Nn Yanran took a deep breath.
Fine, lets do it ording to Elder Ge Yes n. Then she pointed at Xiao Yan and dered, Xiao Yan! I propose a three-year bet to you! After three years, we will fight at the Yun Sect. If I win, we will get married immediately! If I lose, our engagement will be officially cancelled!
So i ask you, do you dare to ept this bet?!
