Feng Tianlan did not lose out in the slightest as she raised her eyes to meet Feng Tianlan’s. “So you were cross-dressing as a man. No wonder Mobai doesn’t recognise you. But with so many friends, I’ve never heard Mobai talk about you.”
Mobai made friends, and he was no longer alone. She was happy for him, and the friend he mentioned the most was Huo Mingcheng. As for Rong Le, she had never heard of her, so she assumed that they were just casual acquaintances.
But what had happened that made Rong Le think that they were engaged?
Listening to Feng Tianlan’s words, Si Mobai came to a sudden realisation. “You’re a woman.”
Rong Le’s expression did not look too good. In the start, she was androgynous, so cross-dressing as a man was easy. But later, when she felt that she was falling in love with Si Mobai, she purposely revealed her female body. She did not even bind her chest and stood back straight and proud.
Even so, it was as if he did not know about it. This made her feel very frustrated.
“Mobai, you took my engagement jade pendant.” Rong Le’s expression was not too good, but she did not want to give up. In the entire Fallen Leaf City, only a person like Si Mobai was worthy of her. Although he did not have spiritual force and was a useless person, she did not dislike him.
Hearing these words and seeing Feng Tianlan’s gaze on him, Si Mobai immediately felt that the jade pendant in his storage space was very hot to the touch. He quickly took it out and threw it on the table, then hurriedly explained to Feng Tianlan.
“This husband can explain. At that time, he was still a man. I told him that I wanted to look for you, and he asked me to take the jade pendant and look for him at the residence of the mayor of Fallen Leaf City. He can help me find you.”
At that time, he did not know that Rong Le was a woman. If he had known, forget about receiving gifts, even saying a word to her would have been unnecessary.
Rong Le looked at Si Mobai as he threw away the jade pendant that she had given him as if it was trash. Her expression became even worse. “You said you wanted to look for a fiancée, so I’ll look for one for you. Moreover, I’ve already explained it to you at that time. Are you not going to admit to it now?”
He said he wanted to find a fiancée, so she would become his fiancée herself. What was wrong with that?
“Lan’er…” Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan, wanting to prove his innocence. However, Rong Le’s words were all carefully chosen. Other than the sentence that he could help him find Lan’er, he did not remember anything else. He wanted to explain, but there was no way to explain.
“Oh?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Rong Le, who was standing indifferently. “You said it was clear. How did you explain it clearly? Don’t take advantage of my Mobai’s innocence.”
Lapis Lazuli, “…” His Highness is not innocent, alright? At least when she was in the Pill Scroll Realm, she would occasionally hear him teasing the young miss. Just thinking about it made her blush.
“This jade pendant is passed down in my family for generations. The meaning of this inheritance is very simple. Either pass it on to a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law.” Rong Le sat down and felt that Feng Tianlan’s threatening aura weakened slightly.
Si Mobai hurriedly explained, “She said that once I take that jade pendant, I would be able to find you, but I’ll have to return it to her afterwards. Moreover, he was a man. I couldn’t have thought of this, right?”
At that time, he had thought of using the jade pendant to get Rong Le to help find Lan’er, but at the same time, he also wanted to return the jade pendant. However, before he reached the mayor’s residence, he was surrounded and attacked and then returned to Lan’er’s side.
He just felt that this so-called betrothal, or betrothal gift, was very baffling!
Who would have known that such a thing could happen from making a friend?
