Li Yan had assumed that when she offered to become Nan Yu’s child bride, both he and Nan Zhi would be delighted and willing. After all, gaining a child bride was no small thing, and there were very few people willing to take on that role these days. Even if they weren't exactly overjoyed, she expected at least a look of surprise. But what was with this blank, dazed expression on the two siblings’ faces? Were they interested or not? They needed to give her a straight answer!
Regardless, the words were out. Even if their reaction wasn’t what she had hoped for, Li Yan felt she had to cement the matter quickly. She truly couldn't live another day in the terror of never knowing when the next beating would come.
Li Yan looked up at Nan Yu. He still looked stunned, but—wait—why did he look so handsome all of a sudden? Had he always looked like this? How had she never noticed it before? He even seemed to have grown quite a bit taller. How many days had it been since he left home? The change in him was drastic, but it was a change for the better. He was wealthy and handsome; she was a million times willing to be his child bride.
