Feng Tianlan looked at the courtyard that was once again covered in snow. She had built three snowmen on her own, just like the image of the family of three that day. Yet her heart felt as cold as the snow.
It was already December, but she still could not find Si Mobai. There was not even the slightest bit of news. It was as if he had never existed.
Since she could not find him, it could only mean that he was staying in the Wuya Holy Shrine. That was a place that they could not go to. Was he deliberately hiding from her?
“Are you looking for me?”
Feng Tianlan saw the celestial-like State Preceptor standing beside the snowman as soon as his voice fell. He looked tired and travel-worn.
“Is Si Mobai hiding something from me?” Feng Tianlan looked at him and asked.
“You can ask him.”
Feng Tianlan responded with an ‘Oh’. She was not surprised by the State Preceptor’s answer. That was how he is, so it was pointless to ask anything.
The State Preceptor raised his eyebrows and looked at the silent Feng Tianlan. It had been almost a month since he last saw her, and she had lost a lot of weight. Her aura had also weakened greatly due to her melancholy.
It seemed that what Si Mobai had done that day had impacted her greatly.
He didn’t know why, but when he looked at Feng Tianlan like this, his heart felt a little strange. There was an indescribable feeling.
“Tbrought you a gift.”
“Oh.” Feng Tianlan said indifferently. She didn’t even raise her eyelids. She was already disappointed in the State Preceptor. He wasn’t someone she could make a deal with, nor was he someone she could trust.
“Tianlan.”
“Big Brother Lan.”
“Xiao Lan’er.”
Voices rang out one after another. Feng Tianlan’s body stiffened for a moment. Then, she followed the voices and looked over. The smiling faces immediately left her stunned.
“Aunty.” As the child-like voice rang out, her thigh was hugged by a little girl. A pair of big, blinking eyes looked straight at her. “Aunty. Hug.”
“Wang’er.” Feng Tianlan snapped back to her senses and carried Little Wang’er up. A peck landed on her cheek as soon as she picked the little girl up.
“Wang’er misses Aunty very much.” Little Wang’er’s chubby hands hugged Feng Tianlan’s neck as she said in her childish voice.
Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Lin, Meier, Da Da, and Shi Moning who were standing before her. At this moment, the void in her heart was filled.
“You’re all here.” Feng Tianlan smiled. This was the most genuine smile she had ever since Si Mobai had left her.
State Preceptor watched from the side and suddenly understood why $i Mobai had spent so much effort to bring them to the Wushang Continent. It was because they could make her happy— truly happy.
Si Mobai had done so much for her. He had considered too much for her.
Among all the men who said that they loved Feng Tianlan, which one of them could do what $i Mobai did?
The few of them sat in the courtyard. Lapis Lazuli brewed tea as they chatted.
“Where are Xiaoxiao and the Bookworm?” Feng Tianlan asked as she suppressed the joy of their reunion.
Mei‘er was still charming, but she was not as unrestrained as before. She replied, “Xiaoxiao is pregnant, so it’s not suitable for her to come. The Bookworm is accompanying her. Since the United Mercenary Regiment needed people, so they stayed behind.”
“She’s pregnant? That’s great. I’ll definitely visit them when I’m free.” Feng Tianlan sincerely felt happy for Xiaoxiao, but at the same time, she was also disappointed.
If she and Si Mobai did not have so many things going on, perhaps they would have successfully wedded and consummated their marriage back then. Then, she would also have a child by now. But Heaven’s will played tricks on her. She was not so fortunate..
