The Wargod couldn’t hold it in anymore and had come here to confess his love to her. Tu Xiupei told herself not to let him win her over!
“I…”
Since Tu Xiupei had already decided what to do, she put on a cold expression and cut off Si Mobai, saying, “A single man and woman should not be seen together like this. Your Highness should leave.”
The harder it was to have her, the more he would cherish her. Besides, she just wanted to use him. She didn’t really want to be with him!
Tu Xiupei’s head was filled with nothing but how the Wargod had come to confess his feelings for her and how she was going to reject him so that he would still hold a torch for her and become a pawn in her game. She didn’t notice that Feng Tianlan was standing behind Si Mobai.
Si Mobai was already wearing a cold expression, but after hearing this, his face wholly frosted over. He repeated coldly, “I…”
“I like…”
The moment Tu Xiupei heard the word ‘like,’ her heart skipped a beat. She coldly cut him off again, “I hope that Your Highness can have some respect for himself. After all, for us to meet in private like this is not proper.”
Si Mobai tilted his head slightly to look at the petite Feng Tianlan hiding behind him. Did she intend just to watch a good show and not come out?
Feng Tianlan looked at him as if she didn’t want to be part of this. The previous owner of this body had been abused from a young age and was very skinny in the first place. Even though she had put on some weight, she barely reached Si Mobai’s shoulder. He was much taller and broader than her. It was now nighttime, and Tu Xiupei only had eyes for Si Mobai, so she just didn’t notice Feng Tianlan.
But after hearing what Tu Xiupei had said, Feng Tianlan didn’t want to come out too soon, either. She wanted to see how narcissistic Tu Xiupei could be.
Tu Xiupei saw that Si Mobai’s face had become colder and knew that his pride had been wounded. Since he didn’t leave immediately, he must really like her.
She worked up her emotions and thought about what to say, then lowered her head and said in a gentle yet controlled voice, “Your Highness is a prince, and while Pei’er really admires you, I’ve been removed from the Feng Clan genealogy, and I am now only a concubine’s daughter. My status is too lowly and unworthy of Your Highness’ love. Your Highness should leave as soon as possible so that I don’t become an eyesore.”
The first thing she wanted to do was to use Si Mobai to take the Feng Clan back from Feng Tianlan. As long as he wasn’t stupid, he would be able to understand what she was hinting at through her roundabout way of expressing her suffering.
Si Mobai’s face became even colder. So now she was blaming everything on Lan’er and wanted him to deal with Lan’er for her?
A murderous intent filled Si Mobai’s eyes. He glanced at Feng Tianlan out of the corner of his eye and saw that her mood had worsened. So, he thought he’d make Tu Xiupei embarrass herself to cheer Feng Tianlan up.
“And then?”
Tu Xiupei frowned – was the Wargod so stupid that he didn’t understand what she was getting at? Or, perhaps, she hadn’t made it obvious enough.
“For someone as honorable as Your Highness, you would be compatible with someone like my elder sister, a daughter of a respectable family, while I…” Tu Xiupei looked up and quickly glanced at Si Mobai with a face filled with shyness before looking back down. “Pei’er is not worthy of you, so I can only keep you in my heart and remember you forever.”
Si Mobai reached behind him and caught Feng Tianlan’s little hand with great accuracy. He pinched her palm now and then and wholly ignored Tu Xiupei’s little theatrics.
The one who was compatible with him was indeed Lan’er – this was something he liked hearing!
Feng Tianlan started blushing as she watched Si Mobai play with her hand. Even at a time like this, this man was so lecherous that he did not forget to play with her hand! Also, was Tu Xiupei blind? She still hadn’t noticed Feng Tianlan!
“Your Highness…” Tu Xiupei looked at him doubtfully when he did not respond. She had put things very clearly. Surely, he understood this time?
