Chapter 139 - You Are Not to Fear Me From Now On (2/2)

“Eat this and you’ll get well faster.” Si Mobai saw that she didn’t take the pill from him and thought that maybe she was acting cordially toward him again. He might have to force it down her throat.

Feng Tianlan took the pill from him and ate it while nodding slightly. “Thank you.”

“Hmm?” Si Mobai raised an unhappy eyebrow at her. “You’re still so formal with me?”

“I’m well-mannered.” In her opinion, they were not close at all!

“It looks like you’ve forgotten what I said yesterday,” Si Mobai said as he was about to press her down. Feng Tianlan quickly rolled herself into the blanket in fright and said, red-faced, “I remember, I remember.”

“If you’re still so cordial with me and you think we’re not close, then we can settle this here and now—in bed.” Si Mobai stood up straight again. He couldn’t help but grin when he saw how she was like a frightened little bird, curled up in a corner with the blanket wrapped around her.

So, there were times when she felt fear, too!

But…was she afraid of him?

When he thought about it like that, the smile slowly faded from his face. It was as if a layer of frost covered his face. Even the red dot between his eyebrows seemed to have frozen over.

Feng Tianlan looked on helplessly as she saw Si Mobai’s expression immediately change as if she had done something wrong.

“You are not to fear me from now on,” ordered Si Mobai. She was clearly afraid of him. But he wasn’t as scary as the legends claimed, so he didn’t understand what she was frightened of.

“I’m not scared of you,” said Feng Tianlan as her face reddened again. What she feared was that he would try to kiss her again. All this talk about her being his fiancée had not been up to her. He was the one who’d forcibly put the ring on her. She’d never agreed to any of this.
