Chapter 33: Xiao Yan is My Fiance
Xiao Yan searched for his father's figure in the venue of the annual age ceremony and quickly discovered Xiao Zhan, surrounded by a group of people.
The people surrounding him were mostly large merchants from Wutan City. While they couldn't compare to the Xiao family, there were still business dealings between them.
Furthermore, now that the Jia Lie family had disappeared and the Ao Ba family had left, the Xiao family had become the most unshakable family in Wutan City, naturally receiving the flattery and admiration of these merchants.
Of course, the Miteer family was no exception.
"Little brother Xiao Yan,~" From the crowd, Ya Fei spotted Xiao Yan from a distance, smiling seductively as she waved, then glanced at Xiao Zhan. "Xiao Clan Leader, may I have a moment alone with your son?"
"No problem~"
Naturally, Xiao Zhan wouldn't refuse Ya Fei's request. He turned to Xiao Yan.
"Yan'er, make sure to properly entertain Miss Ya Fei."
"Understood, Father."
With outsiders present, Xiao Yan knew he had to maintain proper etiquette. He respectfully cupped his fists and greeted Xiao Zhan, then turned to Ya Fei.
"Miss Ya Fei, please."
Xiao Yan then turned and walked in a certain direction, while Ya Fei gently swayed her waist and followed suit.
Although Ya Fei truly disliked Xiao Yan treating her with such respect, meaning he saw her as an outsider, considering the presence of wealthy merchants from Wutan City, she knew his attitude couldn't be too casual, so she didn't mind.
The two arrived under a large tree. Before Xiao Yan could even turn around, he felt a fragrant breeze, and then a slender figure leaned against his back.
"Sister Ya... Ya Fei?!!"
Xiao Yan's face immediately flushed red, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head, looking at the figure behind him.
Seeing Xiao Yan's awkwardness, Ya Fei's playful heart stirred. She leaned her head on his shoulder, her delicate fingers lightly tapped his cheek, and she smiled seductively.
"Long time no see, little brother Xiao Yan. Has it been about two weeks?" Ya Fei teased, her eyes playful as she looked at Xiao Yan. "The first thing you do after coming down the mountain is find the Jia Lie family, but you didn't come to see your sister. I'm feeling jealous~"
"Well, that... Sister Ya Fei, I went to find the Jia Lie family because—"
"Alright~"
Ya Fei extended a finger and gently pressed it to Xiao Yan's lips.
"I already know everything, and anyway, the Jia Lie family has disappeared now, so there's no need to mention it."
The day the Jia Lie family disappeared, Ya Fei was deeply shocked.
How much power must it take to completely erase a family?
Not only their clan members and family businesses, but even all the information related to the Jia Lie family transactions vanished without a trace!
Such a force was terrifying.
Xiao Zhan and the three elders, who had always been in Wutan City, probably didn't know the details.
But as the next head of the Miteer family, Ya Fei understood better than anyone.
Even though the Jia Lie family was just a major family in small Wutan City, it was not something that could simply be erased!
Even the Yun Lan Sect or the Jia Ma Royal Family would never be able to wipe them out so thoroughly!!!
The mastermind behind the Jia Lie family's disappearance undoubtedly wielded power far beyond anything the entire Jia Ma Empire could compare to!
If she were to describe it with words, it could only be one word.
Terrifying!!!
Upon hearing that the Jia Lie family had disappeared, Ya Fei's first thought was that it must have been the teacher Xiao Yan had mentioned who did it.
It was clear to anyone that the reason the Jia Lie family had disappeared was directly related to Xiao Yan, and it wasn't a coincidence.
However, as Ya Fei marveled at the strength of Xiao Yan's teacher, she also doubted it in her heart.
To completely erase a family overnight, it wasn't something that could be done by just strength alone.
There must be an even more powerful force behind it!
If Xiao Yan's teacher were only a lone individual, then it couldn't possibly be her.
So, who was it?
Ya Fei stared at Xiao Yan's flushed side profile, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.
Could it be that there was some even more powerful force backing Xiao Yan?
"Cousin Xiao Yan,~~~"
At this moment, a voice called out from afar, and Xiao Mei happily ran toward Xiao Yan.
But when she saw Ya Fei standing behind Xiao Yan, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes seemed ready to burst into flames, and she pointed at Ya Fei and scolded her loudly.
"Not you again, you vixen! Let go of cousin Xiao Yan!!!"
Behind her, seeing this scene, Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran's faces also darkened. Nalan Yanran, looking at Ya Fei's mature and voluptuous figure, felt a coldness in her eyes.
"Hey, who is that woman?"
Nalan Yanran coldly asked Xiao Xun'er, who responded just as coldly.
"She's Ya Fei, the next successor of the Miteer Auction House."
"The Miteer family..."
Upon learning Ya Fei's identity, Nalan Yanran's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but bite her thumb nail.
Another rival.
When it came to family status, the Miteer family was comparable to the Nalan family and, in recent years, had even subtly surpassed the Nalan family, thanks to their auction house.
Although Nalan Yanran was also the young master of the Yun Lan Sect, she was still just the young master, and in terms of status, she couldn't compare to Ya Fei.
More importantly, Ya Fei's striking figure was enough to make most women envious. Even now, as an adult, Nalan Yanran wasn't sure she could surpass her. Even her own teacher didn't have the same figure as Ya Fei.
Damn it!
Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with anger.
She had suspected before that Xiao Yan, such an outstanding and unconventional man, must have plenty of women admiring him, but she hadn't expected so many!
Meanwhile, behind Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yu looked at Ya Fei, who was still casually holding onto Xiao Yan, lightly arguing with the furious Xiao Mei. The light in her eyes dimmed even further.
As Nalan Yanran had said, a man as outstanding as Xiao Yan was impossible not to attract attention.
And in the end, she was just his cousin.
"Hey!!! What are you all still standing around for?"
At this moment, Xiao Ning walked over and shouted at everyone.
"The ceremony is about to begin! Everyone should get ready!"
"Oh! Coming!"
Upon seeing Xiao Ning, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen a savior. He gently removed Ya Fei's arm from around his neck and quickly said, "Sister Ya Fei! The ceremony is about to start! I'll go ahead!"
Without waiting for Ya Fei to respond, Xiao Yan quickly left.
"Cousin Xiao Yan! Wait for me!"
Seeing Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Mei had no time to continue arguing with Ya Fei. She immediately followed him, with everyone else quickly following suit, leaving only Nalan Yanran behind.
After all, she wasn't a younger member of the Xiao family and didn't need to attend the Xiao family's annual age ceremony.
Nalan Yanran looked at Ya Fei and slowly walked up to her.
Ya Fei raised her eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of her with a curious gaze.
"Seems like I've seen you somewhere."
"I'm Nalan Yanran."
Perhaps sensing Ya Fei's confusion, Nalan Yanran immediately introduced herself. Ya Fei's eyes showed some recognition.
"Ah~~~ You're the granddaughter of General Nalan, huh? What do you want with me?"
Nalan Yanran stared at Ya Fei, then, after a brief pause, spoke with firm resolve.
"Xiao Yan is my fiancé."
