Chapter 989: Think You Can Do as You Like Because You Know I Like You

Feng Tianlan let go and cupped Si Mobai’s almost frozen face as she said, “And then I will die with you.” She would not allow her happiness to be built on the bodies of innocent people. That was not happiness at all.

Si Mobai’s grim face finally relaxed a little and he glared at her in admonishment. He said, “I do not need you to save me. I can also help you save lives.”

He had agreed to protect the people she cared about. Since he made the promise, he would not go back on his word.

“Mobai, you’re so nice.” Feng Tianlan held his face in her hands and pressed her lips hard against his.

Si Mobai slightly ignored her, but his stone-cold face warmed up. Even his voice could not help but become gentle as he said, “Hurry up and talk.”

“Mobai, promise me. Don’t kill the people I care about. I don’t want to lose two people at once.” Feng Tianlan cupped his face. Her beautiful eyes fixed upon him earnestly. She was serious.

Si Mobai looked up and firmly regarded Feng Tianlan as if he wanted to see through her. But he could not read her mind in the end. “What exactly happened?” he asked.

He a.s.sumed that it had something to do with Xi Jin, and she was afraid that he would kill Xi Jin.

“Promise me,” she said.

“You talk first,” Mobai replied.

“No, you have to promise me first,” Feng Tianlan insisted.

“Then I’ll go kill him now,” Si Mobai said imperiously.

Feng Tianlan was still holding Mobai’s face and meeting his gaze when she turned her beautiful eyes slightly. She looked at him in this manner for a long time before she let go and averted her gaze. She wanted to get up from his lap. She said, “Then you go ahead.”

“Lan’er.” Si Mobai panicked and reached out to pull her back into his arms again. She did not struggle. She stayed that way but also did not look at him.

If Mobai did not agree now and went to kill Xi Jin afterward, it would be unforgivable to her.

For Feng Tianlan, if the person she loved the most were to kill Xi Jin, whom she also cared about and was someone dear to her, she would not be able to accept that. Even if it were someone she loved. It would be more painful than Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya’s double betrayal.

She knew Mobai’s character. If he did not agree at this time, she was afraid that she would be unable to stop him when she revealed the truth to him later. So, she could only make him promise before she told him.

Watching the side profile of Feng Tianlan’s face as she looked down at the floor, he thought of her calm and collected words just now, which made him panic. It made him feel as though, if he really went through with it, then he and Lan’er would miss their opportunity and he would no longer have her by his side.

Thinking of this, Si Mobai gave a long sigh and reached to tilt her face up. His gorgeous eyes watched her helplessly as he said, “Feng Tianlan, you are only able to do as you like because you know that I like you.” It was because of this fact that she was able to repeatedly make him give in, compromise, and disregard his principles.

“I like you very much, too,” Feng Tianlan replied seriously. She only pleaded with him in this way because she liked him.

“All right. I promise you I won’t kill him.” Si Mobai only said yes because he was really helpless against her.

“You cannot hurt anyone else without my permission, either,” she said.

Looking at Feng Tianlan pus.h.i.+ng her luck, Si Mobai gritted his teeth and said, “I will give them a violent beating at the most. That is as much as I’m willing to compromise.”

Since she was so afraid of his anger, it could only be said that this matter was grave.

Feng Tianlan frowned and nodded. Then she put her arms around his neck and sat up as she said, “Then you must calm down. I’m going to talk.”

Si Mobai put his hands on her waist and took a deep breath before saying, “Go on.”

“It’s about how Shen Yunya used a piece of my skin to make dumpling wrappers, dug out my eyes to make the stuffing, boiled my kneecaps to make soup, and made dumplings out of it all to feed to Xi Jin…”
