The two of them did not speak for a time. It was clear that Xi Jin wanted to wait for Feng Tianlan to arrive before saying anything more. Shen Yunya thought Xi Jin was trying to protect her because the baby in her stomach was now her bargaining chip.
Soon, the palace maid led Si Mobai and Feng Tianlan in.
Si Mobai thought of Feng Tianlan’s words the moment he saw Xi Jin. What had still been considered a mild presence just now changed instantly. The room was filled with an oppressive chill as if summer had faded into the winter months in an instant. The palace maid’s legs shook as she led the way and she immediately knelt on the floor. She touched her forehead to the ground and her body shook. She was about to cry.
“Mobai, you promised me.” Feng Tianlan also felt the change in Si Mobai and raised a gentle gaze toward him.
Si Mobai looked down at Feng Tianlan and saw that she was pouting slightly and pleading with a soft voice. All the coldness inside him was immediately melted by her delicate appearance. He reached out to stroke her head and said, “I will never go back on my words.”
He would never renege on his any of his promises to Lan’er. Absolutely not!
Hearing his words, Feng Tianlan’s heart felt lighter. The corners of her lips ticked up and she gave him a dazzling smile.
“Xi Jin.” Si Mobai looked coldly at Xi Jin and said, “Let’s swap pointers on our skills with each other.”
Although Si Mobai did say he would not kill Xi Jin, he must give him a beating until he could vent some of his anger. The best he could do was to beat Xi Jin once every time he saw him.
Instead of answering him, Xi Jin looked up at Feng Tianlan and asked for her opinion.
Feng Tianlan looked at Shen Yunya, sitting against the headboard of the bed, and gritted her teeth. She stared at her, full of hate, and briefly sneered, “I want to talk to Shen Yunya alone.”
Mobai was furious and wanted to beat up Xi Jin. She should let him do it so that he could vent his frustrations.
“Okay.” Xi Jin’s voice was very warm as he stood up and said to Feng Tianlan, “She is still with child. She must give birth to this child.”
Feng Tianlan answered lightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t lay a finger on her.”
She would not take any innocent lives when she gave her word on it. Even if it were only a fetus in the womb, she would not touch it. Not to mention the fact that she understood the reason why Xi Jin wanted to keep this child.
Si Mobai and Xi Jin left the room. The palace maid, who almost fainted from fright, also followed them out. Only Feng Tianlan and Shen Yunya were left.
Shen Yunya heard fighting noises outside and frowned. Then she smugly crowed to Feng Tianlan, “You see, even if you reveal the truth to the world, Big Brother Jin will still protect me. Ah, he will never take your side for he is mine after all.”
So, this contest had still been won by her, after all, hadn’t it?
Feng Tianlan gave a soft laugh and sat down in front of the bed. She said, “It’s all thanks to the baby in your belly.”
“This is my child with Big Brother Jin.” Shen Yunya put both hands on her belly. Her pale face was gentle and held the tenderness of a mother.
Feng Tianlan looked at her, softly laughing, and did not say a word. When the moment of revenge finally came, she did not have the same hate she had during the first meeting. However, she still had to avenge this hatred.
“Shen Qingdai, it makes me really happy to see your restraint when you hate me to the core and how it sets your teeth on edge that you can’t kill me.” Shen Yunya caressed her belly and looked up at Feng Tianlan with sinister eyes.
She was deeply convinced that Feng Tianlan would not kill her now, because she was pregnant with Big Brother Jin’s child, because Feng Tianlan still cared about Big Brother Jin, and because she would not willfully slaughter the innocent.
