ALL NOVEL Chapter 4.2: The Three-Year Promise
“We would withdraw from the marriage ourselves, but we dare not to accept any gifts. I hope that after today, Miss Nalan will try to avoid any entanglements with the Xiao Clan and pursue a more outstanding future, which is what you deserve.”
Xiao Xun’er’s speech was neither humble nor overbearing, and she had sound arguments and a clear message.
If you don’t cancel this engagement today, we will cancel it ourselves! Don’t even think about entering the Xiao Clan as a daughter-in-law!
“I never said that I came here to cancel the engagement.”
Regarding Xiao Xun’er’s words, Nalan Yanran’s face was cold, and she looked down on Xiao Xun’er from her high position.
“You’re right, the engagement was made by our grandfathers and could have been disregarded by us. 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!”
Nalan Yanran wouldn’t budge, but Xiao Xun’er looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, showing a smile that was not very friendly.
“So you’re saying that Miss Nalan is really fixated on Big Brother Xiao Yan?”
“I am already Xiao Yan’s fiancée, so where does the fixation come from?” Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, staring fiercely at Xiao Xun’er, “In my opinion, it’s you who’s clinging to my fiancé, isn’t it?”
Boom!!!
Golden Dou Qi suddenly burst out from Xiao Xun’er’s body, while Nalan Yanran also didn’t hold back, as her Dou Qi burst out to counter Xiao Xun’er’s.
Things have really become troublesome now!
Seeing this scene, whether it was Xiao Zhan, the Patriach of the Xiao clan, or Ge Ye, the elder of the Yun Lan Sect, they didn’t 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?
“Xun’er, calm down.”
Xiao Yan lightly patted Xiao Xun’er’s shoulder, then looked towards Nalan Yanran.
“Little Glutton, put away your Dou Qi, the elders are all present, we can’t be rude.”
“Stop calling me Little Glutton!!!”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s address, Nalan Yanran’s face turned even redder, and she stamped her foot fiercely while scolding.
“Okay, okay~ I won’t call you that anymore.”
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, then solemnly bowed to Nalan Yanran.
“Xiao Yan is honored by Miss Nalan’s favor, but as my little sister said, there is a considerable gap in our status and strength. If Miss Nalan insists on marrying me, I’m afraid it would bring shame to Miss Nalan and even the entire Nalan Family.”
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 weren’t for his lack of progress in cultivation, he would undoubtedly become someone great in the future.
“I am who I am! I will decide my own life! It has nothing to do with the Nalan Family!” Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Nalan Yanran gently stroked her chest and declared 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!”
Nalan 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 Young Mistress to continue to cause a commotion, this matter would never end.
“Miss Nalan, how about this…”
Ge Ye leaned in and whispered in Nalan Yanran’s ear, and her emotions visibly calmed down.
After Ge Ye finished speaking, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath.
“Fine, let’s do it according to Elder Ge’s plan.” Then she pointed at Xiao Yan and declared, “Xiao Yan! I propose a three-year bet to you! After three years, we will fight at the Yun Lan Sect. If I win, we will get married immediately! If I lose, our engagement will be officially canceled!”
“So I ask you, do you dare to accept this bet?!”
