Ran Xueyi had to blink her eyes quite a few times before she could understand what he had just said. It's not because she couldn't understand the language he was speaking at the moment, it was the fact that Song Yu Han used the word 'lover' to his grandfather. This word could have a few meanings, but in the end, the people who will hear it will guess that Song Yu Han was thinking of her as the person he loves.
Even if Ran Xueyi knew that they were already married, others didn't know this. Thus, hearing this word coming from his mouth, people would be quite shocked and confused.
This was true since tonight was 'supposedly' to be the first time they ever formally met each other. And to other people, they were basically strangers who had just met.
Despite being overwhelmed by how things had ended and by what he had just told her, Ran Xueyi wasn't angry or annoyed that he said it.
