The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness

Chen Xinyi was nervous at first. After hearing Feng Tianlan calling her name, she became even more nervous. She then accidentally stepped on a rock and shouted softly as she fell forward.

Feng Tianlan subconsciously reached out to support her when she saw her falling. She then said in a cold tone, “There are lots of dewdrops in the morning. It’s very slippery by the river. Be careful.”

To Feng Tianlan, the support she had provided happened in a matter of seconds. However, to Chen Xinyi, it felt like ten thousand years, as if time had stopped at the exact moment where their eyes met. She blushed instantly.

After Feng Tianlan helped her stabilise herself, she forced her legs to move. She wanted to leave.

Chen Xinyi immediately grabbed onto Feng Tianlan’s sleeves when she saw her trying to walk past her. She then shouted in a nervous and cowardly tone, “Master Shen.”

“Hum?” Feng Tianlan lowered her head and looked at her sleeve, which was being pulled. She then raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Xinyi.

After hearing that deep ‘hum’ which ended in a higher pitch, Chen Xinyi blushed in embarrassment. Her heart was palpitating even faster as she lowered her head. “Master Shen, I…”

She wanted to say something; however, she couldn’t say it out loud, which made her stomp her feet anxiously.

“What’s the matter?” Feng Tianlan frowned.

“I…” Chen Xinyi raised her head. Her eyes met Feng Tianlan’s cold eyes. She then lowered her head immediately. She didn’t know how to say it. She just hoped that she would understand her initiative.

Looking at the shy Chen Xinyi who was speaking in a hesitant manner, Feng Tianlan had a bad feeling. Could this be just like what Mei’er had predicted?

When Feng Tianlan thought about that, her face turned cold. She pulled her sleeve away from her hand and said in a cold voice, “Miss Chen, it is improper for a man and a woman to be so intimate.”

When Chen Xinyi saw Feng Tianlan leaving, she got even more nervous and followed right behind her. She grabbed onto the corner of her shirt as she ignored her embarrassment and the outcome and said in a hurried manner, “Master Shen, I like you.”

After hearing these words, Feng Tianlan staggered from the shock. She almost fell down. Chen Xinyi, who was grabbing onto her shirt, almost fell down as well. She then reached out immediately and pulled her up. The two of them then stood steadily on the ground.

Chen Xinyi raised her head and looked at her slender fingers that were wrapped around her wrist. She felt the heat on her fingertips scalding her skin through her clothes, which made her felt even more embarrassed, and she lowered her head. However, she suddenly became more courageous. “After you complete your mission, you can head to the Chen Manor in Xi Yuan City’s Anyang City to propose a our marriage to my parents. Then, we can get married.”

These words made Feng Tianlan retract her hand and back off in shock. She then raised her head and said in a cold voice, “Miss Chen, this joke is not funny.”

Propose marriage?

Get married?

They were both women!

Chen Xinyi’s grip was loosened. After seeing Feng Tianlan had backed off and had said such a thing, Chen Xinyi raised her head and looked at her aggrievedly. “Master Shen, this is not a joke. I am speaking the truth.”

“No way.” Feng Tianlan rejected her in a serious tone.

“Why?” Chen Xinyi didn’t expect to get rejected so straightforwardly. Her eyes turned red, however, she still asked determinedly.

Feng Tianlan felt troubled when she saw Chen Xinyi, who was about to cry but was trying her best to hold back her tears. She then said in a cold voice.,”I am engaged. I have someone that I like.”

Why did she have so many questions? Putting the fact that they were both women aside, even if she were to be a man, they had only known each other for a short while. How could she propose marriage to her? It would damage a lady’s reputation.

Fortunately, they were on the outskirts where no one was around; otherwise, Chen Xinyi would have been criticized by others.

She then remembered that Chen Xinyi was a pure lady. She shouldn’t have the courage to do this. There must be someone instigating her to do this.
