Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feeling sorry for her two sons who had been cooped up in the space for two months, Gu Qingluan resolved to make amends by taking them out for some fun.
The two little ones were overjoyed when they heard they could go out to play with their mother.
Feng Tianlan put on his mask and went out with them.
Qiu Moyuan didn’t leave but waited outside the entrance of Yun Jinxuan. Just when he had instructed the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion to prepare lunch, he heard footsteps behind him.
He turned his head and almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Miss… Miss Gu? Lord, you…”
So, the woman the lord was holding in his arms was Miss Gu?
For a moment, Qiu Moyuan’s mind was in chaos, but he tried to calm himself down.
Earlier, the lord had informed them that Gu Qingluan was their future mistress, and they should be careful not to offend her when they saw her.
However, hearing about it was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was another.
His lord had a history of avoiding women, and not too long ago, when he received that message, he even questioned if someone was pretending to be his lord to disseminate false information, as he couldn’t fathom his lord developing a relationship with a woman.
Today, he finally witnessed it, and it turned out that his lord also had a tender side.
“This is Gu Qingluan, First Lady Gu, and also Yuanxi’s birth mother,” Feng Tianlan said, glancing at Gu Qingluan.
His deep eyes couldn’t hide his emotions.
Qiu Moyuan, as someone with experience, captured this scene and was quite certain that his lord had really fallen for her.
If it had been before the Beast Tide battle, Qiu Moyuan would have been unable to understand why the master liked First Lady Gu. However, after experiencing that battle and seeing First Lady Gu’s charm, he was not surprised that his lord was attracted to her.
He smiled and said, “Should I offer my congratulations to the lord in advance? I wonder when we can have a celebratory drink?”
Feng Tianlan glanced at Gu Qingluan and replied, “You can ask the child’s mother.”
Gu Qingluan’s expression was slightly embarrassed. She gave him a secret glare and then explained to Qiu Moyuan, “Lord Qiu, there’s a misunderstanding. Mr. Feng and 1 don’t have the kind of relationship you’re imagining.”
Qiu Moyuan looked bewildered, casting a cautious gaze toward Feng Tianlan.
Was it possible that his lord was harboring unrequited love?
Feng Tianlan, on the other hand, maintained his composure and said, “She’s just shy.”
Qiu Moyuan grasped the situation swiftly and exclaimed, “1 understand!”
Gu Qingluan was furious.
This guy was doing it on purpose!
He was making things up and tarnishing her reputation!
She gave his foot a hard stomp without moving her upper body and maintained a smile devoid of any emotion on her face. “Lord Qiu, why did you refer to yourself as ‘subordinate’ in front of Mr. Feng?”
Feng Tianlan felt a pain in his foot but maintained his composed expression as he explained on behalf of Qiu Moyuan, “As you can see, Moyuan is actually my subordinate.”
“If word got out that the City Lord in Chengyuan Kingdom acknowledges the Royal Prince of the Holy Heaven Dynasty as his superior, it could potentially create some complications, don’t you think?”
Gu Qingluan turned her head, looking at him with a mischievous smile.
Feng Tianlan countered with a question, “Would you spread it around?”
Gu Qingluan smirked playfully, “Well, you never know.”
Feng Tianlan shrugged nonchalantly. “There will be no harm done. If Moyuan finds it difficult to stay in Crimson Flame City, he can always return to the Holy Heaven Dynasty.”
Though it was just a few words, Qiu Moyuan could sense the indulgence of his lord towards his future mistress.
In the past, when their subordinates gathered to discuss their lord, they all believed that he had a deep aversion to women and would never marry. However, now that their lord had found a girl he liked, he seemed more doting than anyone could have imagined.
Gu Qingluan initially wanted to provoke Feng Tianlan with her comment, but he remained composed, making her feel that it was futile. She pursed her lips and turned to Qiu Moyuan, asking, “Lord Qiu, 1 plan to take the two children out for a stroll.. Can you recommend me any good places to go?”
