Chapter 614: Always Behind You
Even though she had been reborn for two years now, all the scenes of her suffering still felt like a nightmare. She could even feel throbbing pain on her face, her kneecaps and her eyes. She could even feel blood flowing out of her wrist slowly.
All these were a nightmare!
The words of Shen Yunya were like the devil’s words, pestering her every day and night. Taking her enemy as her kin, while her parents couldn’t die in peace.
“Let’s not talk about it. Let’s stop.” Si Mobai hugged her shivering body tightly. He could feel her fear and her despair. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I’ll always be here.”
Si Mobai kept telling her repeatedly that he was here for her.
Feng Tianlan’s heart that was filled with fear slowly calmed down. She was like a fish out of water in his arms as she breathed heavily. Her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
“Mobai, they caused my parents’ death while I took my enemy as my kin for more than a decade,” said Feng Tianlan as she grabbed onto Si Mobai’s hand tightly.
She hated how they treated her. However, she hated them even more for killing her parents and tricking her into taking her enemy as her kin.
“Father and mother wouldn’t blame you.”
After hearing what Si Mobai said, her remorse and guilt disappeared instantly. “Since when did they become your in-laws?”
Si Mobai said in a serious manner, “Ever since I liked you.”
Feng Tianlan let out a soft hmph, however, she did not refute his statement. She felt much better and wasn’t as afraid as before. “Mobai, I must get my revenge personally. I must take Shen Family back. I want to kill them.”
This was because their lives belonged to her!
“Alright. However, I’ll always be right behind you.” She could ask for his help anytime. She didn’t have to push herself too hard.
Feng Tianlan nodded softly. “Mobai, don’t take Xi Jin as an enemy. It doesn’t matter if I treated him as a brother. He lost his rights to love me forever, just like what Shen Yunya said.”
If only Xi Jin knew that the dumplings that he ate were made from her flesh — that she was still alive when he returned and that he actually missed the opportunity to save her. He would break down and go crazy.
This was Shen Yunya’s aim!
Therefore, she could reveal her identity as Shen Qingdai to anyone but Xi Jin.
Si Mobai replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’. Now that he knew the actual time of Shen Qingdai’s death and linked it to the time of Xi Jin’s return, he realized that Xi Jin had missed his final chance to save her. He had indeed lost his rights to love her.
However, what exactly did Lan’er experience previously that made her have such fear? He didn’t want to ask her as he didn’t want to rub salt on her wound any further.
It was too painful!
Si Mobai held her hands tightly and said, “Fortunately, I’ll never miss the chance.”
Fortunately, he didn’t hesitate when he signed the natal contract with her previously. This way, whenever she was in danger, he could always get to her no matter where she was.
No matter when, he would never miss the chance to save her.
Feng Tianlan knew what he meant by ‘fortunately’. She lowered her head and looked at their interlocking fingers. The half heart shaped ring had now become a full heart shaped ring. This mirrored what it was like before they met each other — they only had half a heart. They would only be complete when they were together.
“Fortunately, I met you in this life.” She was extremely glad and felt fortunate and blissful.
Si Mobai curled his lips slightly and replied, “Me too.”
Without her, there would be a void in his life. His life would be meaningless. She was his world.
