Chapter 250 - When the Fireworks Were Bright in the Sky.. (2/2)

He sounded very shameless. Mo Xuetong glowered at him. In terms of being thick-skinned, Feng Yuran was definitely the top one.

Though angry, Mo Xuetong detected the more profound meaning in his words. After consideration, she looked melancholy and picked up the teacup beside her to sip at the tea, asking, “I heard the Yan Kingdom’s First Prince is here to marry someone. Is she one of the princesses?”

Feng Yuran shook her head and looked worried, but the hint of a smile in his eyes betrayed his feeling. “I guess Father hasn’t decided. I heard Aunt wants Fifth Sister, but Fifth Sister loves Bai Yihao. It’s really a tricky love triangle.”

It seemed that Fifth Princess’s pestering Bai Yihao made him happy.

Mo Xuetong didn’t notice his smug face, frowned, and asked the question on her mind, “Princess Royal Yunruo, Bai Yihao’s mother, of course should think for her son. Even if she marries his son to some princess, she should pick Fifth Princess for his son. So, Bai Yihao will have the Qin Kingdom behind his back and take the throne in the Yan Kingdom. But, now…”

Mo Xuetong couldn’t understand the current situation!

If the Yan Kingdom’s First Prince successfully married Fifth Princess, the prince would have a powerful backing, the Qin Kindom. With such strong power, how was the Yan Kingdom’s First Prince willing to give up? He definitely would fight for supremacy. Letting other’s kid steal the throne from her own son, what was Princess Royal Yunruo thinking?

Feng Yuran chuckled and his fingers gently flicked on the table, looking casual and calm. Though somewhat enchanting and lazy on his handsome face, his smile greatly comforted people. “Tong’er, you don’t have to worry about these things. My aunt isn’t a nice person. You should just make sure you stay away from her.”

He changed the topic, walked to the nearby big windows, and waved at her. “There’ll be a firework show. Come and have a look.”

Looking at his brightly smiling face, Mo Xuetong suddenly felt tender for him. For some reason, she didn’t reject him and rose to follow him there. Feng Yuran lifted the curtains, and then Mo Xuetong found it was the liveliest market down there. It was crowded and brightly lit. From time to time, the wind would carry laughter of joy here.

Feng Yuran smiled. “Come here. It’ll start soon.” Just as he finished, a shrill sound rang, and big fireworks surged up to the sky, making the night bloom like a flower. One and another iridescent fireworks exploded in the air, and the falling sparks were glowing like jade.

Mo Xuetong couldn’t help leaning against the windows like him. The fireworks were reflected in her eyes and as beautiful as a dream.

“Is it beautiful?”

Mo Xuetong nodded and looked up to watch the fireworks in the sky, remembering the firework show when she was 11. It was her birthday and when her mother had slightly recovered. To celebrate her birthday and amuse her mother, his father spent a lot of money to have people prepare many beautiful fireworks.

On that day, they also set off the fireworks outside the city like this.

Back then, she was smiling while running and joyously clapping. Her father personally held the fuse to ignite the fireworks. When the fireworks soared to the sky, he held her hand, and they ran to her mother’s carriage, with her hiding by her mother.

The curtains on the carriage were lifted high, and her mother leaned against the lounge, all smiles. A rosy glow of health appeared on her pale and colorless face. Looking at the chuckling father and gentle mother, Mo Xuetong felt full of happiness.

She thought days like that were perfect.

However, since her mother was gone, n.o.body remembered her birthday. Evert time during her birthday, only Mother Xu would make a bowl of “long-lived” noodles with two eggs in it…

Looking at the sky, she felt her eyes turning hot. Biting her lips, she suppressed the pain in her heart!

Her clenched fingers clung to the window frames. Thinking that the vicious woman killed her mother, she felt her heart ache so much that she became breathless.

Feng Yuran’s voice rang beside her. “Tong’er, Tong’er…”

Mo Xuetong blankly turned back. Before she could see it clearly, he wrapped his arms around her and gently whispered to her, “Don’t be sad. I’ll set off fireworks for you on your birthday, OK? Just like the time when your mother was still with you, alright?”

He sounded so anxious that he didn’t seem as carefree as usual at all. At that moment, Mo Xuetong should feel at ease.

His chest was broad and seemed able to protect her. Blinking her eyes, she gave up suppressing the urge and let tears well up in her eyes. She clung tightly to his robe and for some reason, she knew she didn’t have to be so tired now and didn’t have to fake it to hide her sorrow.

The firework show took place in Cloud City, and only a few first maidservants knew what happened on her birthday. He should ask around to know so much and that her father and mother used to celebrate her birthday with firework shows. How could he, like this, not moved her?

Though she knew he was dangerous, and when he camouflaged himself with a rakish image, he must be up to something, even the supremacy, at this moment, she forgot he was the unreasonable King Xuan who was as handsome as a devil, and that he was so cold-blooded that he would kill his biological uncle, letting his family’s blood stain the n.o.ble royal court.

She only knew that he really moved her now!

At some point, he was no longer the devilish and difficult King Xuan. Instead, he was the gorgeous man who would smile languidly from time to time. When he looked at her with a half smile, his every look rea.s.sured her…
