Chapter 450 - Troubles and the Ding General Manors Counterplot (1/2)
Feng Yuran’s eyes glimmered and reached out to hold her hand. He said lovingly, “How is that considered narcissistic? Am I not someone like that? Otherwise, why would Tong’er like me?”
He sounded as if he was joking but his eyes were sincere as he looked at Mo Xuetong. His gaze was heated and it made Mo Xuetong’s heart beat wildly. The maids and Feng Yuran’s guards were standing outside and must have heard him. He was really shameless to say something like this in broad daylight.
She glanced at him, pretending to be angry. However, her pale ears blushed as she tried to wrench her hands out of his grasp to no avail. She could only look down to hide her shyness. However, she felt syrupy sweet deep down inside. She even understood that Feng Yuran picking on what Feng Yuzhen had done for another important reason. He was trying to avenge her!
She immediately felt warm and contented in the heart.
She could hear his lazy and charming voice by her ear. Her heart started beating like a drum before she even looked at him. He asked, “Tong’er, you don’t like me?”
He moved his hands and pulled Mo Xuetong to him from across the table. His handsome face glowed and his eyes curved up in a smile. His tone was charming and bright.
Her hands were held in his. They felt numb and her heart skipped a beat. Mo Xuetong pouted naturally; her eyes were as clear as water. She looked at Feng Yuran, showing her displeasure. She pinched him viciously before she said anything. However, she did not have much strength and it did not hurt him much.
“Tong’er, you must like me!” Feng Yuran’s eyes darkened when Mo Xuetong did not reply. However, he immediately started to look serious and appeared domineering. He reached out to hold Mo Xuetong’s hand lightly. He was gentle but firm. He had never been an altruistic person. Tong’er was his and could only be his.
It did not matter who else wanted her. He would not allow it!
He looked at Mo Xuetong deeply and shook her hand. He looked like he would only be satisfied when she gave him an answer.
Mo Xuetong was startled. She did not expect the charming and devilish Feng Yuran to behave so childishly. However, she could sense his sincerity behind his childish determination. When she thought of how this romantic and handsome Adonis was so deeply in love with her, she felt as if she was thrown into a completely different world.
Everything was so perfect and wonderful she could not believe it!
In her past life, she had paid for this with her life but had not received it!
She looked up with her clear and beautiful eyes. There seemed to be a faint layer of mist in her eyes that glimmered and rippled. There was a sense of sorrow in her beautiful eyes that seemed to have been enveloped in a light layer of mist. It was like a dream or an illusion. She seemed beautiful and frail.
Feng Yuran’s eyes grew even softer and he let go of her. He walked up to her and held her hands once more, pulling her up from her seat. He wrapped her into a gentle hug and patted her back. He said, lazily and domineeringly, “Tong’er, don’t be sad. No matter who it is who bullies you, I will have them know that there are some people that they can’t bully.”
He was arrogant and proud. The world was large and those with power would claim victory!
Mo Xuetong had never doubted Feng Yuran given his place in Emperor Zongwen’s heart and the power that he had gathered secretly. She leaned into Feng Yuran’s chest quietly and blinked her long lashes. A small smile appeared on her lips. This man made her feel very safe. She felt as if she could sleep in peace without any worries in his arms.
She did not have to worry that others might plot against her, and neither did she have to worry that someone might try to hurt her. She did not have to worry about anything else. She moved her lips and murmured, “Yuran, I like you!”
Her voice was very soft. It was so soft it almost disappeared behind her soft and upturned lips. However, Feng Yuran heard her. Several different emotions appeared in his almond-shaped eyes immediately. His eyes glowed heatedly and he could not help but tighten his hold on the girl in his arms. His tenderness and love entered Mo Xuetong’s heart through his embrace.
She felt soft in the heart! The feeling of sweetness felt like honey flowing through her heart!
Ling Rui’er was feeling very troubled now. She was so annoyed that she almost left Duke Ding behind in a fit of anger. She used to be the Third Miss of the Ding General Manor. Furthermore, she was the daughter of the legal wife. Outside of the manor, she was respected because of who Duke Ding was. As such, even though her elder sister was the most beautiful girl of the capital, her elder sister still had to bow down to Ling Mingyan, the true eldest legitimate daughter, much less herself.
However, it was now different for her. She was King Chu’s first consort. Given King Chu’s current status, he was no longer as before. If Feng Yuxuan were to ascend the throne, she would be the empress and rule over the rest. There would be no other woman who would be as n.o.ble as her. The Ding General Manor would have to bow down to her in the future.
“Uncle, I am not being arrogant and willful. The people in that shop is too much. I did not want the situation to come to this. Uncle, why don’t you shut down that shop lest there are rumors.” Ling Rui’er pressed her hands onto the table and spoke coldly with a calm expression.
Duke Ding, Ling Yu, who was trying to reason with her, was shocked. He did not expect his usually gentle and obedient niece to argue with him. He was shocked speechless.
