The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 824: Do You Lik

Chapter 824: Do You Like He Lianhuang?

He Lian had liked Dai’er ever since he was little. She knew it all along, too. Since it wasn’t the first day that she knew about this, what was there to feel bitter and heartache about?

Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him. She then looked at Xi Lin, who was off to the side and being neglected, as she smiled and said, “I want to spend time with Sister Lin. I will send you off if you don’t mind.”

“Alright.” He Lianhuang walked in the opposite direction after saying that. He hadn’t even looked at Xi Lin that whole time.

Such different treatment really made Xi Lin speechless while choking with sobs due to heartache.

When Feng Tianlan saw Xi Lin standing with her head down while eating an orange, she frowned. “Sister Lin, don’t you feel bitter?”

“No.” She didn’t feel pain either. Dai’er was so great. She couldn’t even help liking her, of course it was the same for He Lian.

“But you’re eating the skin of an orange.” Feng Tianlan watched Xi Lin stuff an orange into her mouth together with its skin. She then frowned even more.

After chewing for a while, Xi Lin finally realized that she was eating the orange’s skin. She then forced it down her throat with a smile. “The skin of an orange is edible, too.” She would feel less bitterness in her heart if there was some bitterness in her mouth.

Feng Tianlan observed her carefully. She realized that Xi Lin’s expression wasn’t as happy as before. She looked rather unhappy. She seemed to understand what was going on when she looked at He Lianhuang, who had taken his seat. She then asked Xi Lin in an uncertain tone, “Do you like He Lianhuang?”

After hearing these words, Xi Lin raised her head immediately. She then waved in denial and said, “No, no. How could I like that brat? He was a weak cry baby who needed to be protected by others since he was little. I don’t even have the slightest of feelings towards him. Besides, he is two years younger than me. How can I possibly like him?”

“Really?” Feng Tianlan asked doubtfully.

Xi Jin nodded violently. “Yes. How can I possibly like him?” How could she possibly have liked him? They wouldn’t have a good ending anyway.

“I heard him saying that he was getting a consort.” Feng Tianlan watched Xi Lin’s face gradually turning pale while her pupils slowly contracted. She was dumbfounded. If she still didn’t like him after behaving like that, she must be seeing a ghost right now.

“Getting… a consort?” Xi Lin was stunned as she looked at the indifferent He Lianhuang, who was opposite her without saying a word. She felt as if all her strength was sucked out from her body. She lowered her head and gave a bitter smile. She then licked her lips and said in a bitter tone, “It’s good for him to have a consort as well. It’s pretty good.”

It was impossible for He Lian to be together with Tianlan now. It was out of the question. It was impossible for him to be with Xi Lin, too. As the emperor of the Xi Yuan Nation, it was natural for him to pick his consort and marry the future empress.

“I am lying to you. Don’t cry,” Feng Tianlan said immediately when she realized that she was about to cry.

Xi Lin raised her head and stared at Feng Tianlan as she said in an obstinate manner, “I am not crying.” She just couldn’t help herself as her eyes turned red.

“I am lying to you. He Lian didn’t say such a thing,” Feng Tianlan said.

Xi Lin bit her lips and stared at Feng Tianlan. She then looked away. “I am not talking to you anymore. You always lie to me.”

She had been cheated by her many times when they were little. Now that they were all grown up, she was still cheating her.

“My fault, my fault.” Feng Tianlan was busy appeasing her as she stopped talking about it. Besides, the ceremony was starting very soon.

Shen Yunya was paying close attention to the two of them. However, she couldn’t hear what they were saying. She just looked at He Lianhuang with doubt. When she saw how he stared at Feng Tianlan from time to time, she couldn’t help but raised her eyebrows.

He Lianhuang seemed to be interested in Feng Tianlan. Could he have known that she was Dai’er?

If the Emperor of Xi Yuan Nation and the Demon King of Bailan Alliance became love rivals, they would probably keep each other in check, right?

Besides, the affection between them that had lasted for more than ten years would definitely be able to instigate the relationship between the Demon King and Feng Tianlan. As long as Feng Tianlan didn’t have the Demon King supporting her, it would be much easier for Shen Yunya to take action.
