Shi Yiqing tugged the corners of his mouth. “She refused, and we don’t have any red-tailed chickens anymore. You’ve already let them go.”
He hoped that Lady Feng would miss his red-tailed chicken instead of refusing so coldly. He personally believed that he was quite handsome and a man whom many women in the clan lusted after. But when it came to Feng Tianlan, even a mere glance at him was superfluous.
In this case, he wanted to win her over even more.
Chen Xinlu glared at Feng Tianlan with fiery eyes. “That’s because she’s baiting you, and she’s a lowly woman who has no abilities so she had to depend on her looks.”
Shi Yiqing’s face fell and he asked in a low voice, “Lu’er, have you forgotten what I’ve told you?”
“She’s an outsider, so why do you keep helping her? I’m your cousin.”
“Because she’s alone and needs more care. How can you be so unreasonably troublesome.”
The two men watched them quarrel, then walked to Feng Tianlan. “Lady Feng, you should change your course instead of accompanying us.”
“Lady Feng, as long as you’re here, the two of them will quarrel constantly because of you. He would never yell at Lu’er or beat her, but because of you Lady Feng, he has repeatedly scolded her. If you are understanding, you should change your course.”
After listening to the two of them, Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and gazed at them. “This is the only way to the exit.”
If there was another way, she definitely would have taken another route, as she also didn’t want to cause trouble at this time. Also, no matter how fast or slow she walked, it was Shi Yiqing who was following her, and not her who was following them.
“Then you can stay in the secret realm of the Shijia for the time being, and go out next year,” a man said naturally.
Feng Tianlan glanced at the two of them, and without saying anything, she walked straight ahead.
Shi Yiqing, who was scolding Chen Xinlu, saw Feng Tianlan leaving. Without bothering to scold her any further, he quickly followed.
“Brother Qing.” Chen Xinlu stomped her feet, and tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
Upon seeing her cry, another man had no choice but to quickly dash in front of Feng Tianlan and block her path. “Lady Feng, please take another route, and don’t continue walking with us.”
They had been getting along smoothly before, but because of Feng Tianlan’s appearance, the situation had now become like this.
Shi Yiqing frowned. “Ah-Hong, what are you doing? This is the only way. You keep telling Lady Feng to go, but where are you telling her to go.”
Ah-Hong ignored him, and staring straight at Feng Tianlan, he repeated in a deep voice, “Lady Feng, please take another route.”
“Why?” asked Feng Tianlan. She raised her eyes and gazing at the man in front of her coldly.
Upon seeing how Feng Tianlan appeared so indifferent but had a domineering aura about her, he couldn’t help but feel a little cowed. “This is the secret realm of the Shi family. You’re an outsider. We were lenient for not holding you accountable for the crime of breaking in. If you’re understanding, you won’t continue to accompany us and drive a wedge between us.”
Feng Tianlan let out a soft chuckle. “I chose this route first.” They came from the side road, and started walking behind her.
Ah-Hong was a little embarrassed. “But because of you, they’re arguing.”
“No matter whether I walked fast or slow, you guys kept following,” Feng Tianlan replied airily.
“Yiqing has many admirers, and he’s the young master of the Shi family, so he is of noble status. Although you’re beautiful, you’re inferior to him in terms of status, so please don’t get involved with him.”
Feng Tianlan frowned with displeasure and said in a cold voice, “It was you people who forcibly followed me, and besides, I have a fiancé.”
