Chapter 323: The Only Woman I Like Is You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feng Tianlan could only stop in his tracks, gazing at her from a distance, his voice slow and resolute, “There’s no one else, the only woman I like is you.”
Boom!
It felt like an explosion in Gu Qingluan’s mind, leaving her in a blank state.
After a moment, she painstakingly pieced together his words, one by one.
He likes her?
How could that be?
This was obviously a scheme, an attempt to deceive her into marrying him. Did he really think she would believe it?
She had only just discovered his identity, but he must have known who she was back in the Shadow Tower.
Seeing Gu Qingluan’s disbelief, Feng Tianlan raised his hand, saying, “This Chaos Stone was originally meant to be given to you once we returned to the Heavenly Capital. It’s just that 1 didn’t anticipate the unexpected turn of events.”
“If it was meant for me, why didn’t you give it to me when I asked you for it before?”
“That was a trade, and it won’t do,” Feng Tianlan replied with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He wanted to give the Chaos Stone to the woman he liked, not use it as part of a transaction.
Understanding his intentions, Gu Qingluan’s anger vanished suddenly, replaced by a strange feeling.
Feng Tianlan actually liked her, and he had even spent ten thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts to snatch the Chaos Stone for her?
Gu Qingluan had encountered many suitors before, but for the first time, she felt flustered and unsure of how to react.
Jing Yu, seeing her silent, grew anxious for his master and couldn’t help but say, “Miss Gu, as soon as my master heard that the Chaos Stone might appear at the Black Market Auction, he cleared his schedule and went to the auction personally. He was worried that the Chaos Stone might be auctioned off at a high price, so he bid much higher than the base price. If he didn’t genuinely care about you, why would he spend so much money and effort?”
“Jing Yu, be quiet,” Feng Tianlan glanced at him.
Jing Yu obediently closed his mouth.
“Last time at the Lushi Auction House, I noticed you had a strong liking for the Chaos Stone, but the one I had was already depleted, so 1 had to find another one to present to you.”
Feng Tianlan suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan blinked. “Your arcane power has recovered.”
“Yeah, take it.” Feng Tianlan handed the Chaos Stone to her.
The jet-black stone gleamed in contrast to his snowy white hand.
Gu Qingluan felt her heart flutter, but when she thought about how this stone carried his feelings, she hesitated.
If she accepted it, did it mean she was accepting his affection?
She wasn’t even sure if she had feelings for him.
Feng Tianlan’s gaze darkened.
He could clearly see her hesitation.
Ha! He never thought that one day he, Feng Tianlan, would fall into a woman’s hands, and he would be the one to develop feelings first.
“The Chaos Stone could be highly advantageous for you. Passing up on this chance, you never know when you’ll come across another one. Are you sure you won’t accept it?”
Of course, she wanted to accept it!
Gu Qingluan hesitated briefly, then her eyes lit up. “What if 1 trade something else in return for it?”
That way, she wouldn’t feel burdened by it.
Feng Tianlan’s lips curled slightly, and he said coldly, “No trade.”
With that, he took the Chaos Stone back.
This woman was incredibly frustrating. Not only did she reject his affection, but she also resisted accepting the gift he was so determined to give her.
And it was something she had desperately wanted!
“Hey, wait!” When Gu Qingluan saw he was about to reclaim the Chaos Stone, she quickly reached out to halt him.
Feng Tianlan’s hand paused in front of him. “Do you want it?”
Gu Qingluan frowned, biting her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, her cheeks puffing slightly. It was evident to anyone that she was in a dilemma.
In Feng Tianlan’s mind, a flash of his son’s face crossed his thoughts.
It was at this moment that he noticed his son shared some strikingly similar expressions with her..
