Ya Fei's Engagement
The Iron Wing Bird slowly landed in an open area near the City Lord Mansion in Wutan City. This was the take-off and landing site for the military air transport team. Although this was Xiao Yan's first time riding in a military air transport team, it was actually not much different from civilian ones, except that the management personnel and regulations were different.
However, it seems that this military air transport fleet is also used by some people with special backgrounds on a regular basis.
Therefore, the personnel in charge of the military air transport team in Wutan City, although amazed by Xiao Yan and the many beautiful women accompanying him, were not surprised. After the procedures were completed, they escorted Xiao Yan and his party out of the air transport department.
After leaving the air transport terminal, Xiao Yan, along with Yao Ling, Shi Xuanxuan, Huo Zhi, Ling Yanfei, and Zi Yan, who had just been awakened and was still rubbing her eyes, headed towards the Xiao Family in the direction he remembered.
However, when Xiao Yan returned to the street where the Xiao Family mansion was located, he blinked in disbelief at the magnificent and unfamiliar mansion gate and the two characters "Xiao Yan Xiao Mansion" written in a flamboyant style.
Where did this come from?
Is this still the Xiao Family?
In terms of grandeur, it surpasses even the Nalan Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
However, the calligraphy on that plaque looked somewhat familiar; it seemed to be the handwriting of Ya Fei?
This was the first time Yao Ling and the others had visited the Xiao Family. Based on Xiao Yan's description, the Xiao Family should have been quite impoverished.
But looking at it now, it seems pretty good?
However, when they noticed the look of astonishment on Xiao Yan's face, they immediately understood that, just as Commander Mu Tie of Ghost Suppression Pass had said, the Xiao Family had indeed developed quite well in the past two years.
However, before Xiao Yan could feel the warmth of returning home, two familiar figures walked over from the other end of the street.
Upon seeing the two figures, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly froze.
Not good!
Clearly, the visitors were Ya Fei and Hai Bodong.
Ya Fei wore a well-tailored bright red cheongsam. The form-fitting cheongsam perfectly outlined her graceful and mature curves. As she walked, the crisp sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoed Xiao Yan's heartbeat.
Her brows revealed her longing for Xiao Yan, and a gentle smile graced her face, though her gaze was somewhat unfocused, suggesting she was thinking of Xiao Yan again.
Despite feeling somewhat guilty, seeing this mature woman, who was not yet twenty years old but already exuded the charm of a woman in her prime, still brought a smile to Xiao Yan's face.
He would never forget the day they parted, when the woman held him tightly in her arms, whispering sweet nothings and kindly telling him that he should keep a place for her in his heart.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't forget to glance at Hai Bodong out of the corner of his eye.
Hai Bodong, dressed in his signature blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back, a faint, mischievous smile playing on his lips. From a distance, his gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Yan and the group of beautiful women around him with great interest.
Soon, the two sides bumped into each other at the entrance of the Xiao Family's much more imposing mansion.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Ya Fei snapped out of her daze and saw the meaningful smile on Xiao Yan's face. How could she not understand that this guy had been staring at her for a long time while she was distracted?
"Xiao Yan?"
A surprised voice rang out, and then she strode over with her long, plump legs and took the initiative to hug Xiao Yan.
Three years had passed, and Xiao Yan had grown much taller. She could no longer pull the boy she once knew into her arms; instead, Xiao Yan pulled her into his embrace, his strong and powerful arms bringing her a great sense of security and satisfaction.
At the same time, she could also sense that the boy who was slightly weaker than her in the past now seemed to have surpassed her.
Smelling the unique feminine fragrance of a mature woman emanating from Ya Fei, Xiao Yan felt quite satisfied. The girls around him were all young ladies not much older than him, and compared to an older woman like Ya Fei, they were somewhat inferior.
Despite being separated by Ya Fei's thick chest, Xiao Yan and Ya Fei could still feel each other's hearts beating very fast.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I underestimated you."
Hai Bodong's teasing voice rang out from the side, breaking the romantic atmosphere between the two. Ya Fei also realized that they were still at the gate of the Xiao Mansion. Immediately, two blushes appeared on her pretty face again. She stepped out of Xiao Yan, but did not go too far. She just smiled and looked at her beloved whom she had not seen for a long time.
Her flushed cheeks made her even more alluring.
Behind Xiao Yan, seeing Ya Fei's alluring appearance, Yao Ling couldn't help but clench her fists.
This Sister Ya Fei is a formidable rival!
He has a better physique and is just as good-looking as me. Although he is a bit weaker, he is an old acquaintance of Xiao Yan. I should be more careful.
"Haha, Elder Hai, it's been a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and walked over, but not to give Hai Bodong a hug. Instead, he took out the Restoration Purple Pill that he had already refined from his Storage Ring.
"This is the Restoration Purple Pill I promised you."
As he spoke, he handed over the jade bottle containing the Restoration Purple Pill.
"Hehe, good lad!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's eyes widened in surprise. He then grabbed the jade bottle, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with satisfaction, and made up his mind.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Just watch him do it!
Nalan Family?
Hmph, it's just a roadside stall!
"By the way, Xiao Yan, who are these sisters?"
Ya Fei could tell that these pretty young ladies seemed to be stronger than her, and they seemed to have a good relationship with Xiao Yan. In other words, they would probably be sisters for life.
But she didn't care how many women Xiao Yan had; as long as she was among them, she was content.
No little boy could resist a kind older sister who cares about him and doesn't cause him any trouble!
"Oh, these are all my senior classmates from the Jia Nan Academy."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan introduced Yao Ling and the other four to Ya Fei and Hai Bodong one by one.
Hai Bodong understood perfectly well that these five girls, though called senior students, were practically on their way to becoming girlfriends, if not already.
But these girls are all incredibly talented.
Ya Fei's talent had already surprised him greatly.
But clearly, the talents of these individuals are even more outrageous.
Especially that little girl, who looked young, was able to exert some pressure on him, a Dou Huang expert, clearly indicating that her strength was not simple.
But why does Xiao Yan actually like this type?
That's quite a fancy move!
"This is Sister Ya Fei, an old acquaintance. I'm so grateful to her for taking care of the Xiao Family all these years."
Xiao Yan then introduced Ya Fei to the five women behind him.
As for Hai Bodong, who was standing to the side, Xiao Yan also mentioned him briefly.
However, he didn't expect Yao Ling and the others to have the same respect for Hai Bodong as he did; getting to know him was enough.
After all, even a powerhouse at the level of Dou Emperor is considered an ordinary person among Ancient Clans.
Yao Ling and the others naturally understood the implied meaning from the melody and immediately realized that what they meant by "old acquaintance" was clearly an old flame!
As for the Dou Emperor elder, since he was someone Xiao Yan respected, they should naturally treat him the same way. They were all intelligent people and wouldn't embarrass Xiao Yan.
So they said in unison, "Greetings, Sister Ya Fei, Elder Hai."
"Hehe, we're all family, let's go inside and talk. It's not proper hospitality to make you stand outside."
Although Ya Fei didn't mind that Xiao Yan had other women, she obviously wouldn't stoop to a subservient position. Besides, she had already established good relationships with the entire Xiao Family over the years, taking advantage of her proximity to them. She couldn't easily replace Xun'er Queen Medusa, so being the third daughter wasn't a bad option for her.
Then, she took Xiao Yan's arm and stepped confidently into the Xiao Family's gate.
The two guards at the gate naturally recognized their third young master early on, but the complicated relationship was truly shocking to them. After a moment of stunned silence, they realized that Xiao Yan and his group had already entered the mansion, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Third Young Master's skills have improved considerably in the past few years!
With so many women surrounding them, how come nothing happened?
He is truly a role model for us all!
At this moment, Ya Fei affectionately took Xiao Yan's arm and led everyone through the front yard, which was obviously meticulously maintained and much more spacious and grand than Xiao Yan remembered, towards the main hall where the Xiao Family entertained guests.
The members of the Xiao Family and their servants whom he encountered on the road were all overjoyed to see Xiao Yan return, and they all bowed respectfully.
Because the clan's higher-ups had already spread the word that Xiao Yan was now the young Clan Chief of the Xiao Family, and also the future Clan Chief. Although the Xiao Family had declined, its rules still remained.
Meanwhile, as their gazes swept over the four stunningly beautiful women with distinct personalities surrounding Xiao Yan, along with the adorable Little Zi Yan, they couldn't help but wonder: Had Young Master Yan brought friends back with him?
But why are they all women?
As for Ya Fei and Elder Hai, they were not strangers, after all, they had met many times in the past three years.
Of course, they had their own guesses about the intimate relationship between Xiao Yan and Ya Fei, but they didn't know much and their status wasn't high enough to ask directly. They could only watch Xiao Yan and his group walk away before they started discussing it.
As for the people who bowed to him along the way, Xiao Yan was slightly puzzled by their overly respectful attitude, but with his current strength, he naturally accepted it calmly and nodded in response with a smile.
This also gradually melted away the sense of estrangement he felt due to the huge changes that had taken place in the Xiao Family mansion, amidst the warm and respectful greetings from his clansmen.
He could truly feel the vibrant vitality of the Xiao Family now. This change was certainly related to him, but Sister Ya Fei also deserved much credit, which filled him with deep gratitude.
Yao Ling and the others followed behind, curiously observing the place where Xiao Yan grew up.
Although this place is far less ancient and magnificent than their respective birthplaces, the unique warmth of their families and the rising spirit there make them feel slightly envious.
Sometimes, having a small family has its advantages.
The group quickly entered the main hall.
The hall's decor has also been completely revamped, exuding a rustic and grand atmosphere while retaining the exquisite style unique to Miter Auction House.
Ya Fei acted like the lady of the house, warmly inviting everyone to sit down and instructing her maids to serve fragrant tea.
"Little brother Xiao Yan, you've been gone for three years, and I've missed you terribly. Now that you're back, you must stay for a few days and tell me all about the world beyond the Empire."
Ya Fei sat next to Xiao Yan, a smile spreading across her face, her mature charm naturally revealed in her eyes.
"Okay, I miss Sister Ya Fei very much too. It's rare for me to come home, so I'll naturally stay for a few days and spend time with my family."
Xiao Yan nodded and said with a smile.
Xiao Yan didn't say much, but Ya Fei already understood that Xiao Yan's mention of family included her.
Yao Ling and the others naturally understood as well, and were immediately surprised. They were still just girlfriends, but this Sister Ya Fei was already family?
How can we fight like this?!
A complete and utter victory!
Hai Bodong was also very satisfied with Xiao Yan's words. His only worry was that Xiao Yan had no feelings for Ya Fei.
But now it seems they've gone in both directions.
Finally, all those years of hard work by Ya Fei haven't been in vain!
She might not even care as much about the Mittel Family as she does about the Xiao Family!
"Yan'er! Is Yan'er back?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice from outside the door, Xiao Yan immediately stood up and went to greet it.
"Father!"
At the door, Xiao Yan met his father, Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan was dressed in an exquisite brocade robe, and his aura had become much stronger, clearly indicating that he had already become a Dou Ling expert.
Three years had passed, and his temples were now streaked with gray, but his eyes were sharper and more piercing than ever before, though now that sharpness was tinged with a deep sense of surprise.
"Yan'er!"
Xiao Zhan's voice was loud and clear, making no attempt to hide his excitement. He strode forward, opened his arms, and gave Xiao Yan a tight bear hug.
A strong arm patted his son's back, and that profound fatherly love warmed Xiao Yan's heart.
"Good! Good! It's good that you're back!" Even the usually strong Xiao Zhan's voice trembled slightly. He released Xiao Yan, gripped his shoulders tightly, and looked him up and down. "Good lad, you've grown taller and stronger!"
However, Xiao Zhan was taken aback when he sensed Xiao Yan's aura.
Why can't I sense anything?
Could it be that Yan'er is stronger than me?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Yan'er, what is your current strength?"
Xiao Yan smiled brightly, "Father, I've been fortunate enough to have some opportunities over the years, and now I'm Seven-Star Dou Wang."
"Oh, seven stars? No wonder I couldn't tell..." Xiao Zhan nodded in realization, but quickly exclaimed in surprise, "Seven-Star Dou Wang!?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhan seemed somewhat incredulous, Xiao Yan smiled and released a trace of his aura.
After sensing Xiao Yan's powerful aura, Xiao Zhan finally realized that his youngest son was already one of the few Dou Wang expert that could be found even in the entire Jia Ma Empire!
At the same time, Ya Fei and Hai Bodong inside the house were also startled.
Seven-Star Dou Wang?
This is even stronger than they anticipated!
After his initial excitement subsided, Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said softly, "These past years have been tough!"
Upon hearing this, even Xiao Yan, with his resolute nature, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
"No, it's alright."
Xiao Yan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn't say anything more, but simply nodded and tightened his grip on Xiao Yan's shoulder slightly.
"I brought a few friends with me this time."
Xiao Yan smiled, intentionally easing the sour atmosphere, and led Xiao Zhan into the hall. He then saw Hai Bodong and Ya Fei on the left and smiled as he bowed to them.
Then, when his gaze fell upon the four stunningly beautiful women on his right, each with their own unique charm, and Zi Yan, who was also a beauty in the making, he was completely stunned.
Why are all of Yan'er's friends girls?
Also, why didn't Xun'er come back with you?
Xiao Yan knew Xiao Zhan would be confused, so he smiled and introduced his female classmates to him.
"Hello, Uncle Xiao!"
All the women stood up, bowed slightly, and greeted Xiao Zhan.
"Hey, hello everyone!"
With Xiao Zhan's seasoned insight, he could naturally see some clues, and felt somewhat bewildered.
Logically speaking, having cultivated to the Dou Wang level in such a short time, Xiao Yan should have devoted all his energy to cultivation.
With so many girls, how can he possibly flirt with them all?
And then there's Miss Ya Fei, the young Clan Chief of the Mittel Family. She seems to have a very good relationship with Yan'er. This kid is truly a pleasant surprise. It seems I won't have to worry about him in the future. That's good!
Xiao Yan was unaware of the shock his father was feeling, but he could tell that Xiao Zhan was filled with questions. However, some things were better left unsaid in private.
As the head of the family, Xiao Zhan naturally wouldn't be impolite, and immediately smiled at Yao Ling and the others, saying:
"Ladies, you have come from afar. Why not stay at my Xiao Family's house? Yan'er's courtyard has many empty rooms, which are regularly maintained. If you don't mind, you can stay there."
Yao Ling and the others naturally had no objections. They lived in the same building as Xiao Yan in the Inner Academy, so it was impossible for them to be separated now. They smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, you're too kind. We lived with Junior Brother Xiao Yan in the Inner Academy, so this arrangement is perfect!"
After hearing these words, Xiao Zhan was filled with respect.
Damn it, no wonder he's Xiao Zhan's son, he's so promising!
Just then, Hai Bodong, who had been watching the show with a smile, felt it was time to make his move. He stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and suddenly cleared his throat, speaking loudly and clearly into everyone's ears:
"Patriarch Xiao, I've come today because I have some good news to tell you."
He paused deliberately, drawing everyone's attention.
No one knew why Hai Bodong said that, but Ya Fei seemed to realize something. Her smile froze, and she looked at Hai Bodong, intending to stop the old man from talking nonsense. But then she looked at the little girls Xiao Yan had brought back and realized she should listen to her elders, so she remained silent.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong knew that his disciple, who was all talk and no action, understood his good intentions. He then stopped holding back and said with a smile:
"When I first met Xiao Yan, I thought he was a good kid and would definitely achieve great things in the future. I never expected that in just three years, he would rise from Dou Master to Dou Wang."
Over the years, Ya Fei has done her best for the Xiao Family. Although it was because of Xiao Yan's entrustment, the Patriarch Xiao must have come to know her character over the years.
The two of them are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. They are also the young Clan Chief of their respective clans. If they could form a powerful alliance, the benefits would be obvious. Therefore, I have come today to facilitate a marriage between the Mittel Family and the Xiao Clan. I wonder what Patriarch Xiao thinks?"
Hai Bodong spoke very politely and did not discuss the personal feelings between Ya Fei and Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan was still a child when they first met, so it would be strange if they had feelings for each other at that time.
But if it's a marriage of convenience, then whether there's affection or not doesn't matter; outsiders won't care.
"This... Elder Hai, the Mittel Family is one of the three great families of the empire, while my Xiao Family is just a small family in Wutan City... Moreover, Xiao Yan was betrothed to that girl from the Nalan Family since childhood, and they both became disciples of Sect Master Yun Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect, this..."
Although Xiao Zhan was delighted and indeed quite satisfied with Ya Fei, a beautiful and intelligent girl, as his daughter-in-law, the situation was indeed very complicated, which put him in a difficult position.
"Ahem, Father, my engagement with Senior Sister Yanran has been called off, it's alright."
Although Xiao Yan was surprised by Hai Bodong's sudden move, he didn't mind the marriage alliance. After all, Sister Ya Fei was truly irresistible and would be his sooner or later. The marriage alliance would also allow the Mittel Family to more legitimately support the Xiao Family, which would indeed be of great help to the Xiao Family's revival.
"Ah?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's telepathic message, Xiao Zhan was stunned again.
What is that little brat saying?
"It wasn't me. She wanted to break off the engagement herself. Don't worry about it. There's some entanglement between us, and it's hard to say whether we can stay together. But I have to thank Sister Ya Fei a lot these past few years."
Xiao Yan then transmitted his voice.
Xiao Zhan naturally trusted his son. After a moment's thought, he made a decision, looked at Hai Bodong, and said earnestly:
"I naturally agree with this. It would be a blessing for Yan'er to marry Miss Ya Fei. However, he has not yet had his coming-of-age ceremony, so the marriage will probably have to be postponed."
"Haha, it's alright. The wedding can be held after the coming-of-age ceremony, but the engagement can definitely be done now!"
After Hai Bodong finished speaking, a subtle silence fell over the hall.
Xiao Zhan was stunned. He hadn't expected Hai Bodong to be so decisive, wanting to finalize the engagement so soon after discussing the marriage.
So, he subconsciously looked at his son, Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was also somewhat taken aback. He really hadn't expected the old man to come prepared and jump straight into the engagement process.
He felt several gazes instantly focus on him—he knew without a doubt that they were his female seniors.
"This..."
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.
He was indeed interested in Ya Fei and felt that the marriage would benefit both families, but Elder Hai's pace was a bit too fast.
"Elder Hai!"
Ya Fei finally couldn't hold back any longer, and her pretty face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
"You're in too much of a hurry..."
Ya Fei's heart pounded. Although she didn't resist Hai Bodong's suggestion deep down, and even felt a secret joy, she was, after all, a girl, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel shy.
Hai Bodong, however, seemed oblivious to Ya Fei's embarrassment, stroking his beard and smiling at Xiao Zhan:
"Patriarch Xiao, Ya Fei is just a little shy, but she is obviously quite satisfied with this marriage. As the saying goes, there's no time like the present. With Xiao Yan returning home today, it's a perfect day to add to the joy."
"Let's get engaged first, to establish our status. This will reassure our elders and let outsiders know the attitude of both our families. As for the formal wedding ceremony, we'll naturally hold it in a grand ceremony after Xiao Yan's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yan, who couldn't suppress his smile, then at Ya Fei, who was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, then at Hai Bodong, who was calm and collected and had clearly made up his mind, and at the "senior sisters" behind his youngest son with their various expressions. His mind raced.
He could tell that Elder Hai was determined to tie Ya Fei and Xiao Yan together, and his son had obviously long harbored feelings for Ya Fei as well, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her to come to Wutan City to help the Xiao Family rise to power.
Although today's scene was somewhat sudden, Hai Bodong's words were indeed reasonable. The Xiao Family's current status owes much to Ya Fei, and the assistance from the Mittel Family is even more indispensable.
This marriage alliance is entirely beneficial to the Xiao Family.
As for the other women around the son...
Sigh, let him worry about it. Anyway, if he can win, his father will naturally give him his full support. This kid has always been decisive and capable, so I don't need to worry about him too much.
Let's finalize this sure-fire marriage first!
Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on Xiao Zhan's face, and he cupped his hands to Hai Bodong, saying:
"Elder Hai is absolutely right. It is Yan'er's good fortune to have won Miss Ya Fei's favor, and it is also a blessing for the Xiao Family. Since Elder Hai has such a kind intention, Miss Ya Fei also..." He paused, his gaze sweeping over Ya Fei, whose face was flushed red, "And she did not object. So, this matter is settled. Today, we will arrange the marriage between the two children. After Yan'er has completed his coming-of-age ceremony, we will choose an auspicious day to hold their wedding!"
"Good! Excellent!" Hai Bodong clapped his hands and laughed heartily, feeling immensely gratified. He seemed to already see the future where the Mittel Family and the Xiao Family would become top families on the continent, and he would be living a wonderful life surrounded by his grandchildren. He then added, "Patriarch Xiao is indeed a straightforward person! Then this matter is settled!"
After saying that, he looked at Ya Fei and gave her a meaningful glance.
Ya Fei naturally understood what her teacher meant. Taking a deep breath and suppressing her shyness, she stood up, striving to maintain her composure, and gave Xiao Zhan a graceful bow. Her voice trembled slightly, but she spoke clearly and distinctly:
"Ya Fei... thank you for your kindness Uncle Xiao."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, and upon seeing his gentle gaze, she felt both shy and delighted.
My dream has finally come true today!
Xiao Zhan quickly offered a gesture of support. "You're too kind, Niece Ya Fei. From now on, we're family."
"Haha, thank you so much Elder Hai!"
Xiao Yan also stood up and bowed to Hai Bodong.
"Hehe, why are you being so polite with me!"
Hai Bodong nodded with a smile. With his shrewd eye, it wasn't hard to see that Xiao Yan would definitely be a figure who could stir up trouble in the Dou Qi Continent in the future. If he didn't act now, he would definitely regret it later!
His judgment is never wrong!
However, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.
The expressions on the faces of Yao Ling and the others behind Xiao Yan became quite interesting at this moment.
Especially for Yao Ling and Shi Xuanxuan, although they didn't mind sharing a boyfriend, watching their boyfriend get engaged to another woman still left them with very complicated feelings.
Shi Xuanxuan was alright; she didn't think too much about it and wasn't the type to fight for position. She just felt a little envious of Ya Fei's shy appearance.
Ya Fei only needs to take care of the Xiao Family; she has a lot more to consider.
After all, the future of the entire Shi Clan rests on her shoulders.
The Yao Ling beside him was also thinking a lot.
Her small hands clenched quietly inside her sleeves, and a complex and unfathomable light flashed deep within her azure eyes.
This Sister Ya Fei, without making a sound, has already seized such a huge advantage!
Judging from the reactions of both parties during the engagement, it's a done deal and won't be changed.
This Sister Ya Fei has practically taken the position of "quasi-empress," which she finds quite enviable.
She wasn't the type to fight for position; she just wanted to get to Xiao Yan as soon as possible, but it seemed someone else would get to him before her.
I'm starving!
I'm so envious!
Huo Zhi didn't care much about this; since she wouldn't be able to eat anytime soon, she couldn't very well stop others from eating.
However, this means there's one more person to share Xiao Yan with, further reducing her opportunities to be alone with Xiao Yan!
We need to think of a solution!
Although Ling Yanfei remained silent, she had already sensed through her Spirit Communion that Ya Fei was no ordinary person.
This world has truly gone mad; it feels like a game revolving entirely around Xiao Yan.
If Hun Li Li were still alive, she would surely tell her that this is Gala Gemu from her hometown!
Zi Yan was not concerned about Xiao Yan's marriage.
She wasn't sure what kind of feelings she had for Xiao Yan.
Her intuition also told her that she didn't need to worry about getting engaged.
As for Xiao Yan, he openly approached Ya Fei and took her hand.
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's feelings.
Although at this moment, Ya Fei liked her more than Xiao Yan and loved Xiao Yan more, she believed that from now on, Xiao Yan would definitely like her more and more, and that gratitude would turn into love for her as his liking grew stronger.
Regardless, she felt very content and happy at that moment.
Looking at the perfect couple before him, Hai Bodong felt immensely gratified.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan also waved his hand, his smile completely undisguised, and shouted loudly:
"Guards! Immediately issue the order: prepare a grand banquet to celebrate the engagement of Young Clan Chief Xiao Yan and Miss Ya Fei of the Mittel Family!"
With Xiao Zhan's order, the entire Xiao Mansion instantly sprang into action. The Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, who had come upon hearing the news, were overjoyed after learning the whole story. They immediately began to organize Xiao Yan and Ya Fei's engagement banquet in accordance with the family's rules.
