Xiao Mo had truly never expected this.
The Yan Clan woman he was marrying would turn out to be the very same young lady he had met several times.
But on second thought, Xiao Mo felt he should have realized it the first time he saw her in the Imperial Palace.

Furthermore, this had happened just a few days after his engagement to the Yan Family Woman was announced.
So it was only natural for Yan Ruxue to be visiting Empress Dowager Yan in the palace.
"Indeed, it has been a while." Xiao Mo set down the jade scale and sat beside Yan Ruxue. "It seems you and I are truly fated to be together."
Yan Ruxue gave a soft smile. Beneath her long lashes, her beautiful eyes fluttered gently, like a butterfly beating its wings.
