However, when Lan Yanfeng saw Xiaobai, his face showed embarrassment and awkwardness, but it was only for a moment. Soon, Lan Yanfeng looked away, sat properly, and listened to the elders arrange the engagement matters.

Both families were very satisfied with the two younger generations and were sincere in their intention to marry, so the talks went very smoothly and the matter was quickly finalized. The engagement ceremony was scheduled for an auspicious day two months later.

After hearing that it would be two months later, Lan Ziye felt relieved.

Two months later, she should have brought Xiaobai back to three thousand years ago, so she definitely wouldn't be able to attend the engagement ceremony, and she wouldn't have to worry about Xiaobai anymore.

Lan Ziye used her hands to smooth Xiaobai's fur, so that Xiaobai could feel her comfort. Xiaobai, on the other hand, looked as if he had lost all hope in life and kept his head hanging down, without making any sound throughout the whole process.

Finally, the discussion was over and the Jin family was about to leave.

Lan Yanfeng very gentlemanly sent Jin Ruorui and her parents out of the Lan family.

Lan Ziye followed Lan Yanfeng from a distance. When no one was paying attention, she lowered her head and whispered to Xiaobai, who was unusually quiet in her arms, "Do you want to talk to Lan Yanfeng alone?"

Xiaobai suddenly looked up at Lan Ziye, his eyes full of disbelief.

Lan Ziye smiled dotingly and said, "You are my Xiaobai. To me, you are more important than anyone else! Of course I am on your side. If you feel bad, how about I help you beat up Lan Yanfeng right now?"

"Meow, can you kill Jin Ruorui?" Xiaobai asked with a look of grievance.

"Ah?" Lan Ziye was confused for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Jin Ruorui and I don't have much of a relationship!"

"Meow—" Xiaobai rubbed his head against Lan Ziye's arms and said, "Forget it. If Young Master Lan doesn't like Xiaobai, there will be other Jin Ruorui who will appear. We won't be able to kill them all. Besides, the relationship between the Lan and Jin families is so good now! We have no reason to disrupt it!"

Lan Ziye stroked Xiaobai's fur with satisfaction and said, "My Xiaobai is really well-educated and well-mannered!" After a pause, Lan Ziye asked again, "So, are you going to find Lan Yanfeng or not?"

"I want to meet him in human form!" Xiaobai pondered.

"Of course, it's not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing in the form of a cat!" Lan Ziye said with a calm smile.

From a distance, he saw Lan Yanfeng coming back after sending Jin Ruorui off. There was no one else around, so Lan Ziye lowered his head and said to Xiaobai, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here!"

"Meow--" Xiaobai called out and jumped off Lan Ziye. He instantly turned into the human form of Bai Xiaomao and walked towards Lan Yanfeng, blocking Lan Yanfeng's way.

Lan Yanfeng was obviously surprised to see Xiaobai like this, and then he felt embarrassed and said, "I'm not used to you being like this!"

"Why aren't you used to it? Am I not pretty enough?" Xiaobai pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"That's not what I meant. I just think the white cat look suits you better!" Lan Yanfeng said seriously.

"But you know I don't want to be your cat!" Xiaobai said righteously.

After a pause, Xiaobai asked again with a look of grievance on his face, "How is Jin Ruorui better than me? We knew each other first, and we clearly have a better understanding of each other. Why did you choose her over me? Is it because she's a daughter of the Jin family and has a higher status than me? But doesn't the Lan family never practice marriage alliances?"
