Despite secretly chastising Si Mobai for his weird request, Feng Tianlan nevertheless switched the bottle from her right hand to her left and held it out to him. Si Mobai stared intently at her rough palm and frowned a little. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed her wrist. Feng Tianlan thought he was frivolous. How could he grab her hand directly when she only wanted to return his porcelain bottle? She tried to move but was pinned in place by overwhelming pressure. She glared at him and could not move.

Feng Tianlan felt something chilly slide along her left index finger then tighten at the base. It was like something had taken root on her hand. She looked down and saw a semi heart-shaped ring, like the one he was wearing on his right hand.

“You…”

Feng Tianlan was stunned. Doesn’t he hate women? What’s the meaning of this? First, he grabbed her hand, then he gifted her a semi heart-shaped ring that formed a whole heart when put together?

“A token of marriage.”

“What?” blurted out an astonished Feng Tianlan.

Wasn’t her marriage token with the Emperor? Also, she was betrothed to Si Rong, the Third Prince. How could it be the Wargod? What’s more, this ring was different from the token of marriage she remembered.

“Si’s son and Feng’s daughter are destined to love for three lifetimes. I’m back. You’ve waited for so long!” Si Mobai caressed the ring with his slender fingers.

“…”

Feng Tianlan was speechless. His words were too bizarre to understand. In any case, he was still a stranger. The silver crystal was too mysterious and rare. It was something she dared not yearn for, let alone own. Feng Tianlan tried to slide the ring off, only to realize that it had merged with her index finger. There was no way to remove it. She remembered that when Si Mobai had first put it on, the ring had automatically shrunk to fit.
