Hiding in the dark, Si Mobai watched Feng Tianlan standing sadly in the courtyard and calling out his name. It made his heart ache immensely. He wanted to show himself to her very badly, but at the thought of how she had used their relationship to threaten him over Xi Jin, he felt angry inside.
He wanted her to know how the heartache and panic felt when their relationship was being threatened.
When she understood, he would come out again in order to make her learn how to behave and that she could not threaten him in such a way again. Although he was cold, his heart was still human and warm. It could be hurt and chilled when being threatened in such a way.
When she did not find Si Mobai in Si Feng Pavilion, Feng Tianlan went to all the places in Bailan Alliance that he might go. But as she went and asked everyone one by one, she found that no one was aware of Si Mobai’s whereabouts. And she did not see his figure at all.
Si Mobai felt his heart ache as he watched her run around breathlessly and drenched in sweat. He suddenly blamed himself. Knowing that she was physically unwell, he still fought with her over this. She had to be very anxious.
Just as he was about to appear in front of her, Feng Tianlan’s angry voice rang out, “B*stard! Go away and don’t come back. As if I care.”
Si Mobai’s face completely turned cold. She did not care?
So, who did she care about?
Did she care about Xi Jin?
Was that why she could threaten him with their relationship to save Xi Jin?
Si Mobai laughed at himself. He had overestimated his position in her heart. She had only searched around Bailan Alliance once before she stopped looking for him.
Whereas he had almost turned the continent upside down looking for her when she disappeared. He was afraid that she would come back and not find him. He left early and returned late as he covered a 100-mile radius of the city looking for her. No matter how long it took, he never thought to give up.
However, she had only looked around once and was going to give up just like that? And she even said she did not care?
Feng Tianlan frowned and slyly curled her lips. Then her body went slack, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
Si Mobai was still fuming when he saw her white figure fall down unexpectedly. However, he no longer cared about being angry. He revealed himself and landed by her side to take her into his arms. His worried voice trembled as he spoke. “Lan’er.”
Just as he went to lift her up in his arms, his body suddenly dropped and then fell to the ground. His body sank down, and a figure had already sat on top of his waist, holding his collar.
“Not hiding anymore?” Feng Tianlan asked with her eyebrows raised. She looked down at him from above.
Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan, who was showing off on top of him, and his face completely darkened as he said, “You lied to me?”
She had not fainted because she was physically weak. She deliberately did it. He was so worried that he blamed himself. He thought that he should not hide and let her run around in an unwell and weakened state. But instead, she had lied to him in order to lure him out.
Feng Tianlan pouted and said, “How long would you have hidden for otherwise?”
Si Mobai turned his head away and snorted, “I came back because I had a matter to attend to. I just happened to see you faint, so I came out.”
Seeing how duplicitous he was being, Feng Tianlan suppressed her smile and said, “Is that so?”
Si Mobai snorted again and refused to look at her.
Feng Tianlan looked at the big hands holding both sides of her waist. The corners of her lips crept up as she put her hand to her temples and weakly said, “Mobai, I’m… a little dizzy.” Then she abruptly fell down from her perch sitting on top of him.
“Lan’er.” Si Mobai’s heart tensed. His hands immediately held her waist, and he turned his head to look at her. But the moment he turned his head, his lips met with a soft touch and fragrant breath. He saw Feng Tianlan’s face up close as she pressed into his.
She was kissing him?
