What are you doing here?

Gu Qingluan emerged from the Stellar s.p.a.ce and was about to return to Shallow Clouds Residence to find her two sons when she unexpectedly encountered Feng Tianlan on her way, startling her.

A moment of guilt and panic flashed through her heart.

Feng Tianlan gazed at her with a faint intensity, his eyes probing. What do you think?

I How would I know? This is a private estate, outsiders arent allowed to enter. Dont you understand this basic rule?

She pondered inwardly, who let this guy in so casually? Could it be that he sneaked in himself?

The protective barrier she set up didnt show any abnormal reactions.

Feng Tianlan advanced towards her.

Gu Qingluan couldnt help but step back, What do you want?

Was he here to seek retribution for her stripping and tossing him and onto the street? Or was he here to hold her accountable for taking Little Yuanxi away?

Her fingers, concealed by her sleeve, subtly curled, the golden jiao silk glinting faintly, ready to strike at the right moment!

Feng Tianlans gaze briefly swept over her hand. Youd better put away whats in your hand, or

He didnt finish his sentence, but Gu Qingluan could sense the threat in his tone.

She wasnt sure what he might do, but one thing was certain: with his strength, dealing with her would be effortless.

On a previous occasion when Gu Qingluan had been pushed to her limits, she had resorted to stripping him naked and tossing him onto the street. Looking back, she realized that such an act was a one-time occurrence. If she were to provoke him to that extent again, she would be the one facing the repercussions.

Pausing in her steps, she locked eyes with him, her determination evident. Fine, lets cut to the chase. Whats your intention? If youre planning to take Little Yuanxi, I vehemently oppose it! Hes my son as well. We were forcibly separated for years, and weve only had three days together as mother and son since our reunion. Unless he willingly decides to go with you, 1 wont allow you to take him by force!

Feng Tianlan lowered his eyes, the deep gaze fixing on her face. Have you thought this through?

Gu Qingluan was in the middle of a lengthy discourse expressing her viewpoint when he interrupted her, causing her to momentarily freeze.

Her mind raced quickly.

His absence for the past two days raised the question: Was he giving her time to contemplate his marriage proposal?

With the way she had been teasing him, he hadnt given up on marrying her?

Seeing his earnestness, Gu Qingluan sincerely shared her thoughts, Its not possible between us.

Feng Tianlans eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light. Why?

We dont share any emotional connection, and forcing ourselves to be together would only lead to mutual suffering. Id rather live freely and happily on my own.

Emotions can be nurtured, Feng Tianlan replied softly.

But i dont like men with bad tempers! Gu Qingluan pouted.

Someone who had frequent bursts of anger, strangled peoples necks, and pinched their chinsclearly a blatant case of domestic violence.

She didnt have a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic streak; only someone crazy would marry him.

Feng Tianlan was speechless.

You see, you dont like women, and 1 dont like men with bad tempers. Were simply not compatible. Theres no need for us to be bound together due to an accident from five years ago. However, were still Little Yuanxis parents. In the future, we can alternate taking care of him every six months. This way, he wont miss out on either a fathers or a mothers affection

Feng Tianlan disliked hearing these words. He furrowed his brow and interrupted her again, You wont know if you dont try.

Gu Qingluan scoffed at that, finding it utterly futile!

He didnt seem dumb at all; how couldnt he understand her words?

Well, I dont like it, and 1 dont want to waste time trying. Mr. Feng, please dont bring this up again.

Feng Tianlan.

My name is Feng Tianlan.

The name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

In that moment, Gu Qingluan couldnt remember, and she mused, Perhaps its not important, which is why it slipped my mind.

So, she decided not to dwell on it.

You dont actually have to tell me your name. We can just maintain a nodding acquaintance.

Feng Tianlan didnt want to continue with this topic. Wheres Yuanxi?

Gu Qingluans eyes immediately turned cautious, Are you planning to take him away?
