"Father, you wanted to see me?"
Xiao Yan stood at the entrance to the reception hall, looking at his father. Xiao Zhan was just about to speak when Nalan Yanran suddenly sprang to her feet, staring at Xiao Yan in shock.
"Y-you're Xiao Yan?!"
"And you are?"
Xiao Yan studied the rather familiar-looking girl, lightly rubbing his chin as he thought for a moment. Then he suddenly realized and pointed at her.
"Little Glutton!!!"
"Who are you calling a little glutton?!"
At Xiao Yan's nickname for her, Nalan Yanran's face instantly flushed red with embarrassment and indignation.
Everyone inside and outside the reception hall was dumbfounded by the scene.
Judging by the looks of it... did these two young people know each other?
Just as everyone was wondering, the flush faded from Nalan Yanran's face. Her expression turned extremely serious, and she turned to Xiao Zhan, clasping her hands in a determined salute.
"Uncle, I came here today for one reason alone!"
Hearing Nalan Yanran speak, Ge Ye immediately snapped back to attention. He beckoned to a servant, ready to have the apology pills they'd prepared brought over, and stood by to step in if needed.
But Nalan Yanran's next words left him rooted to the spot.
"I hope I can marry into the Xiao family right away! This instant!"
???
In that moment, the entire reception hall fell silent. Ge Ye was especially bewildered, staring at Nalan Yanran with a head full of question marks.
Young Sect Mistress?
Weren't we here to break off the engagement?
How did this turn into a wedding???
