Chapter 227: Hypocritical to the Max

Si Mobai was now standing outside the carriage and ready to rush in and kill Si Rong. How dare he try to steal Laner from him!

Feng Tianlan looked at the fearful Si Rong and asked calmly, You really want to marry me?

Yes, yes! Im sincere about this. Si Rong immediately looked up with huge eyes, trying to show her how genuine he was.

Since shed asked him this, he was sure that she still had feelings for him. So, a sufficient display of sincerity should be enough to make her forget the unhappy past.

You are a prince with a bright future, but you will need some support. I alone will not be enough. If you can convince Tu Xiupei to marry you as well, then Ill marry you.

When he heard this, Si Rong froze for a while before shaking his head. Tu Xiupei? She has the destiny of a phoenix, and shes also the first female genius. Do you think she would be willing to marry me?

It wasnt as if he hadnt tried going after Tu Xiupei before. But she had extremely high standards and didnt even want to look at him, so hed decided to go after Tu Xiuyu instead. Hed never expected that he had chosen an idiot.

If she has the destiny of a phoenix, that means that, once you have her, you will have the world as well. Feng Tianlan curled her lips slightly and looked meaningfully at him. So, this is all the more reason why Third Prince should try to get her.

Si Rong felt that Feng Tianlan did make sense. A woman with the destiny of a phoenix was fated to be an empress, and whoever married the empress would be emperor. Even though he wasnt the emperor now, with the help of someone with such a destiny, he would surely become emperor in the future.

So, it was as Feng Tianlan had said, whoever had her, would have the world. It made perfect sense.

No, the one I love is you. I dont want any other woman. Si Rongs heart was swayed, but he also did not forget that his mission now was to gain Feng Tianlans favor. He pretended to reject this idea.

Feng Tianlan blinked to hide the contempt she felt for Si Rong. The bigger picture is more important. If you cant take on such an important task, then I dont have any hopes for you anymore.

Laner, what do you mean? Si Rong stretched out his hand to take Feng Tianlans, but she dodged him, so he awkwardly waved his hand about. I only like you. Between you and the world, Im choosing you.

Of course, he would prefer to choose the world, but he had to say that he was going to pick herall women loved to hear things like that. Once he obtained the world, she would be worthless to him.

Feng Tianlan leaned against the carriage lazily and looked up. Her domineering aura slowly seeped out from between her eyebrows. And why cant one have both the world and his beloved at the same time?

Well Si Rong frowned for a while before he looked back at her with a pained expression. For you, I am willing to win the world. Im willing to sacrifice my happiness for the time being. Once Ive reached the highest position, I will secure you as my queen.

Feng Tianlan nodded. To show your sincerity, dont look for me anymore.

I will only look for you secretly. Im going to butter her up only for your sake. Otherwise, theres no way Id fall for her. Si Rong looked like he was making a very noble sacrifice.

Alright. I want to go home now. Get out of my carriage. Feng Tianlan really couldnt stand looking at Si Rongs hypocritical face anymore.

Calling him the scum of all scumbags seemed like too nice a title for him.

Si Rong looked longingly at her and took a very long time to exit the carriage. Finally, he got on his horse and left.

Feng Tianlan looked out of the window and peeked at the entrance. She didnt know when Si Mobai had left. Though, she was quite sure that she had felt his icy glare when Si Rong had climbed out of her carriage.
