Chapter 618 - Wait for Me to Ask For Your Hand In Marriage (2/2)

She had kept watch over the King for far too long. She would rather he wake up sooner and fancy another woman than watch him lie in the coffin without any vitality. She did not know how long he was going to lie there.

What she feared most was that he would never wake up again.

*South Peace City*

Yellowing leaves lay below the lofty city gate tower on both sides. Stall vendors were hawking their wares. Among the people coming and going, a white-clad pair of a man and woman rode on the back of a snow-white horse as if they were a celestial couple, constantly eliciting sideway glances from the crowd. But the people didn’t dare to speak out. They just snuck passing glances as they passed by.

Feng Tianlan looked up at the city tower. It seemed like she was even able to see the scene of Tu Xiuyu, clad in red clothes, standing on top to demonstrate against Tu Xiupei and Si Rong. Everyone thought she wore red clothes because she had extreme hate. They did not know that she just wanted to marry the person that she loved the most in her heart, even if it meant death.

“Lan’er, what are you looking at?” Si Mobai asked when he saw her look at the city building in a daze.

Feng Tianlan slightly lifted her head and then glanced at his scruffy chin as she replied, “I was thinking—how does it feel to love a person to the extreme and even love them to death?”

Just like Tu Xiuyu, who was betrayed by the one she loved, she was hurt, even dying at the hands of her beloved. Did she not have hate? Why did she still want to marry Si Rong in the end?

She did not understand such love. She felt it was too petty and miserable. There were so many men in the world. Why would she hang herself over that person of all people?

Si Mobai bowed his head and looked at her gently with deep affection. He slowly replied, “She’s the whole world. Without her, the world would collapse.” That was how he felt about Lan’er.

Feng Tianlan smiled and said, “I’ll head back to Feng Manor first…”

Si Mobai was afraid that she would forget the matter, so he hurriedly said, “Wait for me. I’ll come and ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow.”
