Si Mobai was now standing outside the carriage and ready to rush in and kill Si Rong. How dare he try to steal Lan’er from him!
Feng Tianlan looked at the fearful Si Rong and asked calmly, “You really want to marry me?”
“Yes, yes! I’m sincere about this.” Si Rong immediately looked up with huge eyes, trying to show her how genuine he was.
Since she’d asked him this, he was sure that she still had feelings for him. So, a sufficient display of sincerity should be enough to make her forget the unhappy past.
“You are a prince with a bright future, but you will need some support. I alone will not be enough. If you can convince Tu Xiupei to marry you as well, then I’ll marry you.”
When he heard this, Si Rong froze for a while before shaking his head. “Tu Xiupei? She has the destiny of a phoenix, and she’s also the first female genius. Do you think she would be willing to marry me?”
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t tried going after Tu Xiupei before. But she had extremely high standards and didn’t even want to look at him, so he’d decided to go after Tu Xiuyu instead. He’d never expected that he had chosen an idiot.
“If she has the destiny of a phoenix, that means that, once you have her, you will have the world as well.” Feng Tianlan curled her lips slightly and looked meaningfully at him. “So, this is all the more reason why Third Prince should try to get her.”
Si Rong felt that Feng Tianlan did make sense. A woman with the destiny of a phoenix was fated to be an empress, and whoever married the empress would be emperor. Even though he wasn’t the emperor now, with the help of someone with such a destiny, he would surely become emperor in the future.
So, it was as Feng Tianlan had said, whoever had her, would have the world. It made perfect sense.
“No, the one I love is you. I don’t want any other woman.” Si Rong’s heart was swayed, but he also did not forget that his mission now was to gain Feng Tianlan’s favor. He pretended to reject this idea.
