Gu Jian exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Prince Li before he picked up the letter of appointment in feigned calmness and read it word by word.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Gu Jian picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and placed the tip at the end of the betrothal letter.
The marriage was decided by the parents and the ceremony would only be completed after Gu Jian confirmed it in the name of his father.
However, just as the tip of his brush touched the paper, he heard an agitated male voice suddenly speak from outside the main hall.
"Wait!"
Gu Jian's hand trembled, and the tip of his ink-stained pen left a twisted curl on the letter of appointment.
The originally joyous atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
Everyone from the Gu family looked towards the door like a tide and saw a tall young man in blue standing outside the threshold.
