Feng Tianlan looked up at Si Mobai and Shen Yuan, who was looking at her from time to time. “This is my sister, my father’s adopted daughter. Her words may be a little annoying, but she’s a good relative.”
Perhaps because Shen Hao had been amazed by her in the beginning, Shen Yuan had developed hostility toward her. In addition, she had taken away her father’s fatherly love, so she felt very uneasy.
However, no matter what, Shen Yuan was not a bad person. At the very least, she was afraid that Su Jingfeng would bully her along the way, so she always stood up to protect her.
Si Mobai only glanced at her before looking away. “As long as my wife is happy.”
“Mobai, you still don’t seem to be feeling well?” Feng Tianlan looked at Si Mobai’s pale face and frowned. Logically speaking, he should not feel pain if she did not touch his skin. Why did he look so unwell?
“Maybe I did not sleep well, so I look a little lethargic.” Si Mobai endured the intense pain in his heart.
From the moment he saw Lan’er, his heart had been in pain from the poison’s attack. He felt that the silver needles that Lapis Lazuli had given him to suppress his feelings seemed to stop working. His feelings of loving her and missing her were slowly recovering.
“Mobai…”
Si Mobai raised his head and said with a smile, “Wife, I bought you a house on East Street. It is the Feng Manor, it has already been repaired. The servants and maids are also ready, they are just waiting for you to move in.”
Hearing Si Mobai’s words, Feng Tianlan looked at him in a daze. When she saw him, she could not move her feet. But when he said that he wanted to go home with her, she could not help but follow him back.
When she didn’t have the courage to go a second time, he wanted her to leave.
“I’ve thought about it. Our wedding that day hasn’t been completed. In addition to the current situation, it’s really not suitable for us to live together. You’ve also found your in-laws. With so many relatives, it’s really not appropriate for you to move in here without being fully married. In the future…”
Si Mobai raised his head and saw Feng Tianlan’s slightly red eyes. He paused for a moment and then slowly said, “In the future, when I become Wu Ya, I’ll still love you. I’ll go to your house to propose to you and marry you again. Now that we’re living separately, it’ll also protect your innocence.”
“If you’re so considerate, why are you still calling yourself my husband?” At this moment, Feng Tianlan didn’t know how she should feel or what thoughts she should have. She only felt that her mind was blank.
Mobai said that since they were not married that day, they could not be considered husband and wife. They could not live together.
He said to wait till after he became Wu Ya, but would he still love her…
Feng Tianlan did not dare to think about it anymore. Just these thoughts alone made her heart ache very much. She clearly wanted to help him relieve the pain he was feeling now. She clearly wanted to help him become Wu Ya again so that he would not have to suffer such pain. However, when she really reflected, she realized that she indeed had selfish thoughts.
She wanted him to continue being Si Mobai, she wanted him to continue loving her, she did not want him to be Wu Ya at all. Because if that were the case, he would not love her anymore. Everything in the past with him would be like a dream.
How could she be so selfish?
Si Mobai averted his gaze and did not dare to look at Feng Tianlan’s tear-filled gaze. “Perhaps it’s because I can’t stand this kind of pain.”
Thinking of you, loving you, hugging you, and kissing you, it would speed up the poison’s attack. If there was no way to save you, my heart would hurt even more. You being right in front of me, yet I cannot say I love you, hug you and kiss you, that feeling of being so close yet so far away is too painful.
No matter what he did, it would still hurt. It was just that one would speed up the poison’s attack, causing him to have to compromise earlier. It was better for him to endure the pain and separate from Feng Tianlan, to find a way to prolong the time she had left..
