Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Meanwhile, Feng Yuanxi had completely forgotten about his Royal Father. He pulled Gu Qingluan to a long couch and said, “Beautiful Sister, please have a seat here.”
Gu Qingluan smiled and took a seat.
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes twinkled as he asked, “Beautiful Sister, can I sit with you?”
With a playful smile, Gu Qingluan replied, “Of course!”
She gently lifted him and placed him beside her.
Feng Yuanxi’s legs trembled with excitement, his eyes shining brightly.
By the way, didn’t his father mention marrying Beautiful Sister?
Did they discuss this matter during their conversation just now?
He decided to ask.
“Beautiful Sister, when will you marry my father?”
Gu Qingluan’s smile momentarily froze. Did that scumbag really discuss this with little Yuanxi?
Wasn’t he afraid that little Yuanxi would feel upset?
She glanced down at the little guy.
Good.
His eyes were gleaming, just like the little SteamBun he raised. There was no trace of sadness in sight.
She knew that little Yuanxi liked her, but didn’t he miss his mother?
Gu Qingluan felt puzzled, “Little Yuanxi, do you want me to marry your father?”
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes filled with hope, “Yes, yes, Beautiful Sister. If you marry my father, then 1 can be with you every day, and we can sleep together too.” “Do you not miss your mother?”
At the mention of his birth mother, Feng Yuanxi’s eyes dimmed slightly, “1 do, but my father said she’s dead and will never come back. I didn’t believe it before, but now that 1 have Beautiful Sister, I think my mother must be like you. Beautiful Sister, can you marry my father? I want you to be my mother.” Dead?
Gu Qingluan’s expression held a trace of surprise.
So, little Yuanxi sneaked out to find his mother because he couldn’t accept it?
For some reason, Gu Qingluan felt a sense of unease and a touch of bitterness.
Little Yuanxi’s fondness for her wasn’t simply because he liked her, but because he had transferred his affection for his birth mother to her?
That woman was really lucky to have such an adorable and well-behaved child.
Did her own child, whose whereabouts remained unknown, also think about her somewhere?
She hadn’t protected him and put him in danger. He probably wouldn’t want to think about her, right?
“Beautiful Sister! Beautiful Sister! Are you okay?”
Little Yuanxi repeated the words, pulling Gu Qingluan out of her melancholic thoughts.
She lowered her gaze and met his anxious eyes, “Beautiful Sister, did I say something wrong? Please don’t be mad at me.”
“No, little Yuanxi, you’re so well-behaved. How could 1 be mad?” Gu Qingluan smiled softly and stroked his little face.
Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Feng Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn’t bring up the topic of marrying his father again.
Beautiful Sister didn’t answer, so she probably didn’t want to.
He felt disappointed, but he wouldn’t force Beautiful Sister.
As long as she was happy and not mad at him, even if things stayed as they were now, it would be fine with him.
Feng Yuanxi gathered his enthusiasm and instructed SteamBun and Briquette to perform a show.
He was naturally skilled at communicating with spiritual beasts. As long as he used his arcane power and pressure, the spiritual beasts would listen to him.
Thinking that these two spiritual beasts were gifts from Beautiful Sister, he didn’t treat them rudely. He hoped they would be clever and cooperative. This way, he could show Beautiful Sister and make her happy.
Feng Yuanxi tossed an iron ring. “SteamBun, jump!”
SteamBun excitedly leaped up and jumped through the iron ring.
“Briquette, your turn!”
Feng Yuanxi threw an iron ring toward Briquette.
Briquette really didn’t want to move.
This was so embarrassing!
A majestic divine creature like itself had actually lowered its dignity to perform tricks for human amusement.
If news of this reached its kin, it would surely become the subject of ridicule!
