The elder master and his wife were beyond outraged. They absolutely disagreed with their son's decision, and also urged Ming Yan to return to the capital with the young master immediately, so that the wedding could take place. They would not allow him to mess with the engagement anymore!

Despite all that, Ming Yan knew that if Dongfang Ming could compromise then he would not have considered cancellation or asked his bodyguard to inform his parents.

Uncertain what had gotten into Little Tian, she stepped to the front again when Ming Yan was not looking and gave his shoulders another push.

"Move out of the way, Ming Yan. My lady wants to get over there! You are being very obnoxious!"

Despite the physical threat, Ming Yan merely shrugged a bit, refusing to move.

He furrowed a single fine brow. Physical contact between men and women was forbidden, and he would not do harm to one, regardless of how pushy she was.

"Little Tian, don't you know disgrace? You aren't married and yet you treat a man like this! You are so shameless!"

With that, his eyes also settled on Wang Xiangyun.

It was obvious. Like mistress, like servant.

He remembered the time Wang Xiangyun drugged his master. For a woman to play dirty like that for personal gain...it had certainly come as a great shock to him.

Little Tian's pretty face burned up and she raised her voice, "Y-You... If you hadn't been blocking us I wouldn't have needed to do that!"

Ming Yan did not bother to respond to her lame arguments. Doing so was just a waste of breath.

Wang Xiangyun heard what he said. She was not just a little angry. In fact, she was outraged! He was clearly scolding her indirectly too!

He would not let her pass, right? Well, she would go there no matter what!

"Little Tian, step down."

She called her servant, who was still having a fit with Ming Yan, telling her to stop. Then she took two steps closer and said to him, "Step aside! Or I'll make you sorry!"

Ming Yan tilted backwards ever so slightly when she got nearer, but he did not look her in the eye and instead looked elsewhere. "Miss Wang, I'm just obeying my master's orders. Why do you have to be so hard on me?"

"Hard? I am still engaged to your master, and so I am technically your superior too! I am who Brother Ming is to you! And I'm ordering you to step aside, how is that hard?"

Wang Xiangyun was beyond livid and so she raised her voice quite high. Not far away, Liu Duo and Ye Ling looked over at the ruckus.

Yet Dongfang Ming was indifferent to it all as he took the time to savor his breakfast. He was long used to the interaction between Wang Xiangyun and Ming Yan.

Ming Yan humbly replied to her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, "You're actually quite right, Miss Wong. You are engaged to my master, and after your marriage, you will be my superior as well. Naturally, I'll obey your words when that happens!"

Little Tian held her head high when she heard that, and said, "If you know that much, then you'd better move out of the way quickly! Good dogs don't block the way."

Despite being described as a dog, Ming Yan neither cared nor got angry. Instead, he responded calmly, "Little Tian, you mentioned Miss Wang was 'your lady,' didn't you? So she's yours, not mine! So when your lady gets married to my master, and when your household and my household become one, I'll most definitely obey the madam, isn't that right? I swear that your every wish will be my command."

In other words, they had not married yet and so he did not have to listen to her. Who could say he was wrong?

Er...

Little Tian was stumped speechless by his words, unable to refute them. What he said somewhat made sense.

Wang Xiangyun knew that Ming Yan had a way with words, otherwise how could he stay at Dongfang Ming's side for as long as ten years?
