Chapter 828: A Good Opportunity to Get Rid of Feng Tianlan
“Tianlan, you’re a woman, too.” Xi Lin’s mouth twitched.
“His aversion to women excludes me.”
“…” Xi Lin bowed her head and ate silently, indicating that she did not want to get involved with the woman who was essentially Mobai’s woman. Women who fell in love were scary, constantly talking about that special someone.
Xi Jin came straight to Feng Tianlan’s table for a toast. His fair cheeks were already somewhat flushed. He looked at Feng Tianlan and asked, “Why did the Demon King not come?”
“Mobai is busy and unable to come in person. He wishes the Crown Prince and secondary consort happiness and bliss, and the birth of a son soon.” Feng Tianlan lifted a wine cup and wished him well in a formal and polite way.
Xi Jin looked at the smiling Feng Tianlan and warmly said, “I wish the same for you both, too.”
Xi Lin stood up and said, “Imperial Brother, better hurry to finish the toast. Don’t keep your bride waiting.”
If her Imperial Brother were to know that Tianlan was Dai’er in the future, she did not know whether he would regret saying such words today.
Xi Jin finished toasting and then went to the next table. His temperament was mild, unlike a Crown Prince.
Feng Tianlan watched him do many toasts until he came to Shen Yunya’s table. Although she could not hear what was said, she did not look particularly good.
“Big Brother Jin.” Looking at Xi Jin clad in the bridegroom’s attire standing in front of her, Shen Yunya stood up in a panic and cried out in a pained manner.
Xi Jin held a wine cup and looked up and down at Shen Yunya with warm eyes. He smiled and said, “Miss Shen, you look charming like a lotus flower, dressed in pink today.”
“Big Brother Jin, I…” Shen Yunya could not speak of her bitter suffering. She wore pink in order to complement the colors he wore today.
But who knew that he would be wearing the bright red bridegroom’s suit? And the suit on his body was apparently the one meant for their wedding last month, which caused her heartache.
Xi Jin’s face flushed red from drunkenness. He looked at Shen Yunya tenderly and reached out to tug at his own clothes. He said, “Second Miss Shen, do you remember this bridegroom’s suit?”
Shen Yunya pressed her lips together. She naturally remembered.
“Looks like you don’t remember.” Seeing that she did not speak, Xi Jin gave a cold snort at himself and said, “I’m wearing this today because I want to…”
Without finishing his sentence, Xi Jin laughed bitterly and toasted to Shen Yunya, saying, “I want to have a drink with Second Miss Shen. I believe you will wish for me and my secondary consort to live to a ripe old age in conjugal bliss and be blessed with the birth of a son soon.”
“Big Brother Jin…”
Xi Jin tilted his head up to down the cup of wine. He smiled at her, full of tenderness and reluctance, and said, “I hope that Ya’er, you’ll find your ideal husband and live to a ripe old age in conjugal bliss.”
With that and a raised cup, he turned around and left. That lonely back view with the determination to sever all ties made her feel sad.
“Big Brother Jin.” Shen Yunya’s eyes could not help but redden. Had Big Brother Jin deliberately worn this bridegroom’s suit to fantasize that his secondary consort was her?
Big Brother Jin really had deep feelings for her. How could she miss it just like that? How could she hurt Big Brother Jin so much and let down his affection for her?
Feng Tianlan watched the scene and only felt strange. However, she could not pinpoint which part was strange.
She just felt that everything seemed intentional. But if it were done on purpose, whose benefit was it for?
Shen Yunya was so affected that she was made to feel bad inside by Xi Jin’s unfinished words. She constantly paid attention to him and watched him drink wine like water. Her heart ached. Was Big Brother Jin drunk?
Yuan Fangfei saw Feng Tianlan also paying attention to Xi Jin. She could not help sneering and whispered to Shen Yunya beside her, “Ya’er, this is a very good opportunity to get rid of Feng Tianlan.”
“What opportunity?” Shen Yunya’s mind was fully focused on Xi Jin.
