The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: The Biggest Reason Is That I Just Don’t Like You

Feng Tianlan’s lips were numb from his touch. His words were captivating, and they made her want to nod in response. But when she thought about how she’d died so terribly in her previous life and still had to avenge her parents, she felt that she didn’t have the right to think about these things.

Her romantic heart had died with her previous self.

Si Mobai saw how she remained expressionless and sighed heavily. He carried her in his arms and allowed her face to lean against his chest. “You can only belong to me. If you want me to give you up, then this heart must stop beating.”

He would not go easy on any other man who even dared to think about her.

Feng Tianlan listened to the sound of Si Mobai’s heart beating. The beats struck her eardrum, one after another. Each one was like thunder, resonating all the way to her soul.

She had already decided a long time ago that she didn’t want him to waste any time on her. It was very likely that she would spend her entire life working hard to avenge her parents, and she didn’t dare to hope for anything more.

The power and influence that Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying wielded, as well as the messy powers governing the Xuantian Continent, were not a feud that she could settle all by herself.

To avenge her parents, she would have to kill Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying. She was going to go up against all of the Xuantian Continent. If she genuinely came together with Si Mobai, she would only drag him down with her.

Whatever the reason, she didn’t want to go anywhere near romance, nor could she.

Si Mobai carried her back to Heavenly Phoenix Court and laid her down on the side of the bed. He knelt on one knee and removed her shoes. “Lan’er, I’ll say it again. The world is yours, and you can have whatever you wish, but you are mine forever.”

Feng Tianlan watched Si Mobai remove her shoes with some shock. He was the high and mighty Wargod, so how could he behave so tenderly toward her?

Si Mobai carefully laid her shoes aside and stood up. He stood straight in front of her, then bent down and said gently, “I am your world, and you are my universe.”

Feng Tianlan looked down, feigning that she wasn’t able to be moved by these words. Anyone could say sweet nothings and make promises. And, what happened in the end?

In her previous life, Jiang Ying had used the same sweet words, and she’d ended up dying horribly. Si Rong had also used such words, and Tu Xiuyu had ended up dragging him to his death alongside her.

Si Mobai sighed when he saw Feng Tianlan looking down. There was a knot in her heart, and she wasn’t going to open up to him overnight. He could wait. In any case, she was his.

“Si Mobai, I really don’t want to go on with you like this. I just don’t like you like that, so I don’t want to accept your affection. I also don’t want you to waste time and energy on someone who will never be with you.” Feng Tianlan looked straight at Si Mobai as she heartlessly rejected him.

Si Mobai frowned. “I don’t see what I’ve done to make you dislike me so.”

“I just don’t like you, so I don’t want to continue this ambiguous relationship and give you any false hope. I don’t need a reason to not like you. The biggest reason is that I just don’t like you.” Feng Tianlan said this as directly as she could. Since things were impossible between them, she had to say it sooner or later.

Si Mobai stopped breathing for a moment. A string in his heart that had been pulled as far as it could. The pain made it hard for him to breathe.

“I’m serious. I don’t like you. All those pills you’ve given me and everything you’ve done to help me—I will repay these favors. But these are just feelings of gratitude and not the other kind.” Feng Tianlan could sense a change Si Mobai’s breathing, so she continued, “Even if you do more, in the end, I’ll just be touched. You’ll just be doing me more favors that I’ll never be able to repay, but you will not get the affection from me that you want.”

“Favors?” Si Mobai raised his eyebrow slightly and brought his handsome face close to Feng Tianlan’s. “If I remember rightly, I’ve saved your life three times. Your life, mind you. So how are you going to return these three lives to me?”
