The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness Chapter 263 - I Like Lan’er Very Much

Chapter 263: I Like Lan’er Very Much

She had already decided in her heart that she would not have anything to do with him anymore. She was going to end this ambiguous relations.h.i.+p and stop giving him any hope!

Si Mobai looked at Luo Yunzhu, and his face was icy and emotionless. “I like Lan’er very much, and she is my fiancée. Other women don’t stand a chance.”

“Uh, okay…” Luo Yunzhu nodded dumbly. Why was he explaining things to her? He was supposed to explain this to Tianlan and everyone else. Wasn’t he explaining things to the wrong person?

On top of that, his expression had changed in an instant. Just a moment ago, he had been gentle and sweet to Tianlan, but the moment he turned to look at Luo Yunzhu, it was as if a three-foot pile of ice had suddenly appeared between them. It was like he had a feud to settle with her. Then again, if he were only gentle toward Tianlan, that wouldn’t be a bad thing, either.

Feng Tianlan glared at Si Mobai. Didn’t he just say that he understood? Why was he trying to explain the rumors to Yunzhu?

“I’ll protect you, so we don’t need that smokescreen!” Si Mobai forcibly wrapped an arm around Feng Tianlan’s waist and flew out of the carriage.

Feng Tianlan was trapped in his embrace and became anxious when she heard what he’d said. “What are you trying to do? If you announce this to the world, the one who will be embarra.s.sed will be you. I won’t cooperate – you can’t force me all the time.”

From the sound of his words, she thought he was going to declare his love for her publicly.

“Don’t be anxious. I won’t let you be in any danger. I’ll take you out for a meal, then send you home later,” Si Mobai comforted her in a gentle voice. He was neither afraid of being embarra.s.sed nor of letting everyone know that she had rejected him. But he was worried that she would be in danger.

Feng Tianlan’s face turned cold. “What on earth are you trying to do?”

“In less than an hour, n.o.body will say that I’m with that woman. If they have to name the person I’m with, that person can only be you.” Si Mobai’s eyes were filled with murder when he said the first sentence, but the second sentence was said with gentleness, and that gentleness was directed at Feng Tianlan.

He hoped that, whenever his name was mentioned, Lan’er’s would also be mentioned, and not that other disgusting name, which would be an insult to him.

“As long as you don’t reveal who I am in public, I don’t care.” Feng Tianlan’s face was cold, but perhaps because his words were so moving, her heart couldn’t help but tremble a little. She quickly hid that away and put up a high wall around her heart.

Si Mobai brought Feng Tianlan to a private area of the Spiritual Foods Restaurant. It was in a very clever spot. From there, one could see every part of the main hall and hear every sound clearly, but n.o.body downstairs could see this area.

The dishes were served quickly. Si Mobai was busy putting her favorites in her bowl, testing the soup’s temperature, and being so naturally gentle and sweet to her, like a good husband.

Feng Tianlan maintained a cold face the whole time and didn’t even look appreciative or kindly. She wanted him to back off. She wasn’t interested in romance before she had exacted her revenge.

It was dinnertime, so more and more people gathered downstairs. The atmosphere became lively, and the air was filled with chatter. Some comments caught Feng Tianlan’s attention.

“You know those rumors about the WarG.o.d liking Tu Xiupei? There’s a sudden turn of events, as I’m sure you’ve heard?”

“Don’t say their names in the same sentence. Otherwise, your tongue will be cut off,” someone else reminded the first person fearfully.

“What’s going on? Why so serious now? Didn’t the rumors say that Tu Xiupei was the woman whom the WarG.o.d brought back to his manor?”

“She wasn’t. And because of this, the WarG.o.d sent orders to pull out the tongues of the people who started this rumor. He also sent a warning to everyone saying that, if anyone puts their names together again, he’ll pull out their tongue and feed it to the dogs. The WarG.o.d likes the woman in white whom he brought home that one time.”
