Feng Tianlan looked forward with a cold gaze. She then said pronouncedly, “My fiancé is Si Mobai. Besides him, no one else will ever be my fiancé.”
If he were to spout nonsense again, she would be even more vicious on her next attack!
Wu Qi was slapping his face as he tried to return it to its original shape. “Then tell me what’s so good about him.”
Feng Tianlan thought about her first time meeting Si Mobai, how he was cold but gentle at the same time, and how rigid he was when he spoke. She also thought about how he forcefully climbed into her bed every night, how he always said that he wanted to let her practice by herself but helped her in the end.
Besides, there was also the Bailan Alliance. Although it sounded rather tacky, he named the alliance after both their names to make her happy.
There were too many good things about him that she lost count.
“He’s the one I like, therefore he’s the best,” said Feng Tianlan as she curled her lips blissfully.
Upon hearing Feng Tianlan speak in a different tone, Wu Qi couldn’t help but raise his head to look at her. She was curling her lips slightly while carrying a blissful smile on her face under the sunlight. Even her voice that was usually cold had instantly became gentler at that moment.
She looked like someone who was deeply in love, a lady who was full of hope for her future and the person she loved.
“Good for you two!” Wu Qi applied some force and returned his face back to normal. He then lay on the horse’s back even more lifelessly.
Everyone around him was getting married while he was still loving someone single-sidedly. He felt terrible. The love of his life actually became his sister-in-law.
He would always have to see her from now on and call her his sister-in-law. If he were to have any interest in her, both the princess and he would have to shoulder very terrible accusations.
Therefore, he must hide his affection for her from now on. It’d be alright if he were to have a bad reputation, but he definitely couldn’t let the princess get labelled as a bitch who seduced her own brother-in-law. Even if he didn’t think for himself, he should think for the princess.
After thinking about that, Wu Qi looked as if he had been resurrected. He sat up straight and pointed forward. “Feng Tianlan, there’s a small town approximately ten miles ahead. We’ll be settling there at night. How about I invite you to the brothel?”
“The women in the brothel look very good. They also do their job very well and provide great service. I’ll treat you.”
“Little Brother Feng, I’ll treat you. Wouldn’t it be too rude of you to not speak and accept my offer?”
“Little Brother Feng?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly. Looking at him nod vigorously, a few ice cubes that were the size of fingernails appeared in her palm. She then hit Wu Qi with them.
Wu Qi was dodging left and right. However, he was still hit in the end. He then quickly begged for mercy. “Feng is so fierce. I admit my mistake now!”
Wu Qi acted as if he enjoyed being abused. He was spouting all sorts of nonsense along the way to get beaten up. When they reached the small town, he already had a few swollen bumps on his face. When he saw Gu Nansheng getting down from the cart, his good mood disappeared instantaneously. He lowered his head and sighed, then warned himself not to think about her anymore!
That night, the little town was silent. It was covered in darkness, and not even a star was seen in the sky. The crescent moon was covered by the clouds as the hurricane blew past.
The hurricane swished furiously. All windows and doors that weren’t properly shut were rattling in the hurricane. In the black night, the dark clouds were rumbling, as if they were trying to split the sky open.
Rumble!
A lightning split the sky open and struck towards the ground. The crackling sound of raindrops was heard right after that.
It was a stormy night, and the sound of rain and thunder was so loud that other sounds were muted.
“Miss Feng.” A violent knock was heard at the door. That voice sounded rather soft under the waves of rumbling thunder.
