The room suddenly fell into a silence that lasted for half an hour, after which Xiao Yan asked softly, "Aunt Wan, have you really thought this through? I honestly don't think I could bear being rejected again—that feeling was just too painful." Hearing this, Tang Wan was moved to tears of joy, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She hurriedly replied with a loving, gentle smile, "Yan'er, I am certain I have thought this through. If you refuse, I suppose I can only give up, though perhaps I'll never be able to love anyone else again. But if you agree, then from now on, call me Wan'er. Don't call me Aunt Wan anymore." Xiao Yan blushed, stuttering with a gentle smile, "Y-yes, absolutely, Wan'er. From this day forward, I will surely never fail you. I will protect you for a lifetime and treat you well forever."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lanruo said gently, "Well, since both of you have gotten what you wanted, I'll take my leave." She stood up and walked straight out. Before either of them could respond, she was already out of sight.
The room instantly plunged back into a tense atmosphere. After a moment, both of them blushed, looked at each other simultaneously, and asked with nervous, loving gentleness, "Yan'er?" "Wan'er?"
