The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Wen Wan was surprised: "Where did you go just now? How could you possibly be with Madam Xiao?"

She even wore such an expensive and beautiful cheongsam.

It was as if it had been tailor-made for her.

Their original plan to see her make a fool of herself and let the First Madam see her in a sorry state, thus shattering her image as a noble young lady, has all fallen through.

"Then who should I go with?" Jiang Nan asked without changing his expression.

Wen Wan was indignant and wanted to question him about what had happened in the room, but Wen Jisi scolded her with a stern face: "Mind your manners, don't say things that could cause misunderstandings."

Wen Wan's face immediately turned ashen, and she hated Jiang Nan, that vixen, even more.

Now that my older brother is back, I'm worried things will get complicated!

Xiao Ziqian stared at Jiang Nan, his eyes filled with amazement: "Nan Nan, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Nan found his gaze disgusting, turned her gaze away, and smiled as she thanked Madam Xiao, Qi Siqiao.

"Second Madam, thank you for gifting me such an expensive dress. I will definitely pay you a proper visit another day to express my gratitude."

Qi Siqiao was elegant in every gesture, and patted her hand lightly twice: "You have a deep connection with the Xiao family, it's too formal to say such things."

"Second Aunt, you've helped Nan Nan so much, it's only right that she wants to thank you."

Xiao Ziqian moved closer to Jiang Nan and reached out to put his arm around her waist. "Nan Nan, we'll be family soon. Just express your feelings in a token way. Don't be too formal."

His hand had just touched Jiang Nan's waist.

Jiang Nan immediately felt a sharp gaze directed at her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She looked up and spotted the figure standing in front of the escalator on the second floor.

The figure exuded a tall and imposing aura, with deep and sharp eyes that seemed to want to devour her.

Jiang Nan knew he was unhappy, so she subtly raised the corners of her mouth and deliberately didn't push Xiao Ziqian away, taking the opportunity to see Xiao Beixun's reaction.

Men are creatures with an extremely strong possessive nature.

Whether you like it or not, once you've used it, it belongs to you.

Even a noble man like Xiao Beixun cannot escape this ironclad rule.

The banquet continued, and Xiao Ziqian took Jiang Nan to a side hall to meet the First Madam and the Old Madam.

Wen Wan was so angry that her teeth chattered. This opportunity to meet the parents should have been hers!

We can only let this bastard get away with it for now!

"Grandma, Mom, I've brought Jiang Nan."

Xiao Ziqian brought Jiang Nan to them, his attitude one of seeking praise.

"Nannan is growing more and more beautiful." Old Madam Xiao smiled broadly, delighted to see her.

"Yes, Chairman Wen is truly remarkable, raising his niece so well," Madam Su Sang echoed with a smile, her demeanor dignified and graceful.

Despite being nearly fifty years old, she maintains fair skin with not a single wrinkle on her face.

"You flatter me, Madam and First Madam," Jiang Nan said, suppressing her displeasure.

Su Sang chuckled: "You're too modest. Everyone in the circle knows that your uncle, Chairman Wen, has raised a wonderful niece who is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Jiang Nan was renowned for her knowledge, reason, purity, and noble character.

That was specially orchestrated by Wen Jizong and Qi Nianci to spread her fame.

However, their family was very strict and never allowed Jiang Nan to attend any banquets or events.

Jiang Nan used to think that her uncle and aunt spoiled her too much in order to raise her well.

She later overheard that her uncle had deliberately raised her into a hothouse flower so that he could rightfully and completely swallow up the Jiang Group left by her parents.

The next step was to push her to Xiao Ziqian, and then the two of them would conspire to kill her step by step.

Jiang Nan felt a sharp pain in his heart, almost suffocating.

She once thought that her uncle and aunt, who loved her the most, were actually like venomous snakes, lurking around her for fourteen years!

Jiang Nan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, trying to keep herself calm by feeling the pain.

While he was lost in thought, Su Sang's concerned voice rang out:

"Nan Nan, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Nan snapped out of her daze, but before she could speak, Xiao Ziqian, as if channeling his dramatic side, asked anxiously, "Nan Nan, did you catch a cold? Should I take you to the hospital?"

"You brat, how could you catch a cold so easily in the May weather in Hong Kong? What did you do to let Nan Nan catch a cold?" The old lady asked in a accusatory tone.

"It's not my fault, it's all the waiter's fault." Xiao Ziqian recounted how the waiter had wet Jiang Nan's skirt.

Su Sang said sternly, "That's your fault. You failed to protect Nan Nan, who is your fiancée."

Jiang Nan retorted inwardly.

Not necessarily.

Xiao Ziqian pleaded, "Grandma, Mom, I know I was wrong. Nan Nan is my future wife, and I will definitely take good care of her from now on."

Jiang Nanxin just sneered.

The so-called "care" is just taking her on her honeymoon after marriage, and then taking the opportunity to push her off a cliff or throw her into the sea.

Su Sang got up and came to Jiang Nan, took Jiang Nan's hand affectionately, and smiled at her gently and peacefully.

"Nan Nan, last time we were planning to set a date for our engagement, but then your uncle said that you suddenly felt unwell and left first."

She patted Jiang Nan's hand. "Your uncle and I have discussed it, and we're thinking of setting the engagement date for the 10th of June next month. Two months later, on the 15th of August, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll hold your wedding there. How about that?"

Jiang Nan was stumped by the question.

She didn't want to go to her death, but she couldn't directly express her opinion now. Although this situation put her in a passive position, it could also help her.

"Yes, I think this date is good. If there are no problems, let's set it up." The old lady looked satisfied.

Xiao Ziqian's eyes were full of anticipation.

When Jiang Nan met his gaze, it was as if she could see her own death approaching.

Her red lips moved slightly.

"Why don't you find me a wife?"

Xiao Beixun's deep voice suddenly came.

Everyone looked over.

Before Jiang Nan could turn around, the familiar scent of cedar wafted past her, and then Jiang Nan saw Xiao Beixun walk past her.

His arm seemed to brush against her hand intentionally or unintentionally as he strode up to the old lady. His stunning face had thick eyebrows that were slightly raised.

The old lady frowned: "You're still so accommodating? I've been urging you every day to go on dates with those eligible young ladies, when have you ever agreed?"

The old lady complained irritably, "Over the years, so many elders and younger generations in the family have gotten married one after another. Now even Ziqian is about to settle down and start a family. Only you, who are already twenty-eight years old, are still all alone."

Xiao Beixun turned his head and glanced at Jiang Nan, "No one I liked."

Upon seeing him, Xiao Ziqian straightened up, showing great apprehension towards this third uncle.

Jiang Nan met his gaze openly, her fox-like eyes sparkling and alluring, and quickly gave him a slight smirk.

That face was both alluring and innocent, even more captivating than in bed.

Xiao Beixun's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"This is your future niece-in-law. You should find someone who meets these standards," the old lady instructed.

A playful glint flashed in Xiao Beixun's dark eyes. "Alright, then let's find her..."

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, staring blankly at Xiao Beixun.

To die!

Stealing a wife from her nephew?
