Uncle Xiao, Yanran came to visit suddenly today. I hope you dont feel disturbed, said Nalan Yanran solemnly to Xiao Zhan in the reception hall of the Xiao Clan. Xiao Zhan smiled lightly and waved his hand.

Theres no need to feel disturbed. Just next time, it would be better to let us know in advance so that we can prepare to receive you properly.

Clearly, compared to the last time Nalan Yanran visited, Xiao Zhans attitude towards her had undoubtedly improved significantly.

Nalan Yanran was already a proud daughter of heaven, with a much greater family background than the Xiao Clan. She was also the junior sect master of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect. At a time when everyone considered Xiao Yan as a waste, Nalan Yanran begged to marry into the Xiao Clan. If Xiao Zhans attitude remained unkind, he would truly be ignorant of what is good for him.

Uncle Xiao, theres no need to be so polite to Yanran. Yanran will eventually marry into the Xiao Clan. You can already treat me as your daughter-in-law, so feel free to talk normally with me, Nalan Yanran said with a smile, covering her lips. At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted.

Tch! Youre daydreaming, the marriage hasnt been settled yet!

Upon hearing these words, Nalan Yanran looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Xiao Meis face was showing undisguised displeasure.

Meier!

Just as the second elder was about to reprimand his own granddaughter, Xiao Yu, who was standing beside him, spoke sternly to her cousin first and slapped the back of her head.

No matter what, Nalan Yanran was a guest of their clan, and even if she was unhappy, she shouldnt show it so obviously!

Hmph!

You, you

Xiao Wei held her head in pain, while Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran with embarrassment.

Im sorry, Miss Nalan. My sister is still young. Please bear with her.

Its okay. It doesnt matter. Having such a lively sister is a joy to me, Nalan Yanran whispered and looked at Xiao Mei. Sister Xiao Mei, if you have any dissatisfaction with me in the future, feel free to let me know. I will try my best to correct it as your future sister-in-law.

You little p- Waaah!!!

As soon as Xiao Mei heard Nalan Yanrans words, she instantly lost control. She was about to stand up and vent her vulgar language at Nalan Yanran, but Xiao Yu, who had reacted early, covered her mouth and stopped her.

Xiao Ning leaned his elbow against the armrest of the chair, looking quite helpless at the scene.

To be honest, with Xiao Meis temperament, only Xiao Yan could handle her.

Xiao Xuner also reacted to Nalan Yanrans words. Black aura appeared on her face, and she smiled softly and said, Miss Nalan, after all, you are not yet married to Xiao Yan. Please dont make such jokes. It might cause unnecessary damage to your reputation if it gets out.

Xiao Yans choice had to be someone he genuinely liked from the bottom of his heart. That would be fair to Xiao Yan.

Ugh

After listening to Xiao Nings words, Xiao Yan also held his head in pain.

Did Xiao Ning think he didnt know all of this?

But right now, all Xiao Yan wanted was to follow the righteous path and he had deliberately been avoiding matters of the heart.

Or perhaps, Xiao Yan had been consciously avoiding this issue.

Instead of marriage, Xiao Yan now focuses more on how far he can go on his righteous path.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xuner and Xiao Mei, and let out a deep sigh in his heart.

Lets not think about these things for now, Xiao Yan scratched his head. Go hang up the decorations.

After that, Xiao Yan and the four of them returned to the training ground. With the help of the Xiao Clan members, they placed the lanterns and other decorations they had made in various places in the Xiao Clan courtyard. The originally solemn and gloomy courtyard became quite festive with these decorations.

During the process of arranging the decorations, Xiao Mei, Xuner, and even Xiao Yu were gradually infected by the lively atmosphere, and their moods improved, gradually returning to their usual cheerful selves.

Nalan Yanran, who followed Xiao Zhan and the three elders out of the reception hall, looked at the changes in the courtyard and her gaze turned slightly surprised as she looked at Xiao Zhan.

Uncle Xiao, is someone in the Xiao Clan getting married?

It was understandable for Nalan Yanran to ask such a question. After all, there were no New Year customs on the Dou Qi continent, and most families only decorated in such a lively manner when someone in the family was getting married.

Ah, no, Niece Nalan, dont misunderstand, Xiao Zhan lightly laughed and waved his hand, explaining, This was a suggestion made by Yaner when he was young. Every New Years, we stop all the business of the Xiao Clan, and no matter where they are, all the members of the Xiao Clan will rush back and celebrate together with a lively feast.

I see

Nalan Yanran nodded, looking at Xiao Yan, who was standing on a stool and hanging lanterns on the beams, her eyes flickered with dazzling radiance. Deep within them, there was a hidden tenderness and memories resurfaced in her mind.

Hes such a unique person, just like before.

Hes so gentle, able to make the people around him feel warmth, making one want to accompany him forever.

Nalan Yanran couldnt help but clench her fist, her eyes shining with unquestionable determination. Her heart was filled with an almost overflowing resolution.

Xiao Yan! In this lifetime, I, Nalan Yanran, have decided to marry you! You wont be able to escape!!!
