It’s not too much for me, the slime, to capture Xiao Wu.

Just as the two were having a heated conversation, the carriage had already rushed into Wutan City at lightning speed and arrived at the gate of the Xiao family.

When Xiao Yan's father Xiao Zhan learned the news, he immediately rushed out with several elders to greet them.

When the two sides met, Nalan Yanran bowed slightly and said in a clear voice, "Yanran greets Uncle Xiao."

"You are Nalan's niece. You are truly a beautiful woman, but why have you come here alone? Where is your father?"

"My father is very busy with official duties and has no time to spare. I came here this time because I want to discuss an important matter with my uncle."

"I see. If you have something to say, please come in first. It's inconvenient to talk outside."

As Xiao Zhan spoke, he strode towards the spacious hall with Nalan Yanran and Lin Tian.

However, several elders who came along gave him strange looks and whispered in low voices.

"Looking at the other party's posture, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"I heard rumors that Nalan Yanran came here most likely to cancel the engagement."

"Really? If someone breaks off the engagement in front of him, he, as the clan leader, will probably lose face."

……

Although the elders spoke in low voices, their voices still reached Xiao Zhan's ears faintly.

This made him subconsciously clench his fists, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.

After entering the hall, Xiao Zhan sat down steadily on the patriarch's chair, and then looked at Nalan Yanran with a deep gaze.

"Niece Nalan, there are no outsiders here now, so feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, glanced at Lin Tian beside her, remembered the information they had just exchanged, and then spoke slowly.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm here to talk to you about my marriage, so could you please call Xiao Yan over as well?"

Are you really here to cancel the engagement?

Xiao Zhan subconsciously clenched his fists, and his face showed a hint of uncontrollable anger.

However, as the head of the clan, he couldn't lose his temper in front of the younger generation, so he could only look at the girl beside him.

"Xun'er, please go and bring Xiao Yan back."

Xiao Xun'er nodded, looked at Nalan Yan deeply, then turned and left the Xiao family hall.

The mountain behind the Xiao family.

At this time, Xiao Yan was lying leisurely on the soft grass on the hillside, holding a furry dogtail grass in his mouth, looking indescribably comfortable and relaxed.

At the same time, the graceful Xiao Xun'er also came here with light steps.

Seeing Xiao Yan's slightly decadent look, she slowly and gently sat down beside him, her skirt spreading out like a blooming flower.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing here alone?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan's originally gloomy face showed a rare warm smile.

"Nothing, just basking in the sun. But Xun'er, what brings you here?"

"Of course there's something going on. You might not know yet, but your fiancée, Nalan Yanran, is here. Your father wants you to come over."

"What!? Fiancée!"

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up from the ground as if he was struck by lightning, with an expression of disbelief and confusion written all over his face.

"No, where did my fiancée come from? How come I don't know?"

Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Xun'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell.

"It's normal that Brother Xiao Yan doesn't know. This was decided by the elders. Your father probably didn't tell you."

"Is that so? Then what is she doing here?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, stood up with a slightly solemn expression, and walked quickly towards the Xiao family hall. Xiao Xun'er followed closely behind him.

"Xun'er doesn't know, but judging from the expressions of the clan leader and several other elders, they don't look very happy. It might not be a good thing."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face darkened instantly, and the words "cancel the engagement" flashed through his mind like lightning.

This made him subconsciously clench his fists, his knuckles turning pale from the force, and his heart seemed to be burning with rage.

Although Xiao Yan had faced verbal abuse and merciless ridicule from his clansmen over the past three years, he had gradually gotten used to it.

But if the engagement was broken off in public, it would not only be a loss of face for him, but also for his father's dignity, which he absolutely did not want to see.

This instantly filled him with disgust and deep hatred towards his fiancée, whom he had never met.

Xiao Xun'er, who was standing by, also keenly noticed Xiao Yan's surging anger, so she gently held Xiao Yan's hand in her own warm hand.

"Brother Xiao Yan, don't be angry. If that woman really came to cancel the engagement, it's because she was blind. She will definitely regret missing Brother Xiao Yan."

"But don't worry, Xun'er will always be with you."

Xiao Yan was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he wanted to give Xiao Xun'er a passionate hug right then and there. However, when he thought of his current miserable situation, he felt deeply powerless, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his heart.

Just like that, under Xiao Xun'er's gentle comfort, Xiao Yan and his companion soon arrived at the spacious and solemn hall of the Xiao family.
