Fiancé.
These crisp three words pierced into Muo Huangnian's eardrums, shattering all the traces of a smile on his face in an instant. His eyes erupted with a fierce killing intent.
But he quickly concealed it, regaining his gentle smile within seconds. He squinted slightly, looking at the nervous yet sweet girl in front of him. "Fiancé? So, Manman is already engaged?"
In many villages, arranged marriages are settled during pregnancy. This tradition has been passed down for generations, deeply respected by their ancestors.
Qin Manman nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains, her delicate face tinged with bashful shyness. "Yes, Mama said it was decided while I was still in her womb… I hadn't even been born yet."
Muo Huangnian's deep gaze locked onto her, then his lips curved faintly. "Hmm, is that so?"
So she was engaged to someone else in an arranged marriage. Well, if she was born into an ordinary family, it would be normal for her marriage to have been decided early.
