Chapter 516: Jealousy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“You’re even jealous of your own sons. You’re like a jar of vinegar!” (T/N: In Chinese terms, (vinegar) is used metaphorically to represent jealousy or possessiveness.)

Aged vinegar at that! The most sour vinegar!

Hearing Gu Qingluan’s complaint, Feng Tianlan calmly smiled. “Well, in that case, if you don’t want to smell vinegar in the future, stay away from all males, and the same goes for females. It’s best not to let anyone, including animals, get within three feet of you.”

In the Tianji Continent, divine beasts can transform into human form and form partnerships with humans.

Therefore, one must be cautious of anything living.

Hearing his domineering words, Gu Qingluan was speechless. “So, you might as well lock me up, where no one can see me or touch me.”

Feng Tianlan seemed to ponder. “Your suggestion isn’t bad. How about this, after you’ve settled your scores, we find a place to live in seclusion?”

Gu Qingluan cast a sidelong glance at him and said, “Dream on! You enjoy the life of a hermit in the deep mountains, but 1 don’t want that.”

Isn’t the world outside filled with beautiful people, delicious food, and fine wine? Why subject herself to hardship when she has a long life ahead of her?

Feng Tianlan’s voice turned low and seductive as he tempted her. “Actually, that kind of life isn’t bad at all. How about we give it a try?”

Gu Qingluan replied with a flat tone, “No negotiation.”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Feng Tianlan sighed with regret.

Gu Qingluan thought to herself, first he had a fear of women, then he turned into a vinegar jar, and now he’s showing signs of captivity fetish.

Has this guy been traumatized before?

She felt like she was on a boat, and what was right in front of her eyes was a pirate ship. If she boarded, she might not be able to get off.

“Back to the point, let’s discuss our future,” Gu Qingluan said as she found a chair and sat down, lightly tapping the table with her finger.

The calm smile on Feng Tianlan’s face disappeared, and he sat down opposite her, his gaze piercing into her.

Gu Qingluan continued, “I decide my own affairs, but what about you? As the royal prince of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, can you make decisions about your own marriage?”

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow. “Of course.”

Gu Qingluan grinned. “That’s good to hear. 1 don’t want any obstacles in the future. Let’s talk about our future now. What 1 said at the doorstep of the mansion was sincere.”

His deep purple eyes gazed deeply into hers. “So am I.”

Gu Qingluan tapped the table again. “But 1 have to clarify in advance. We can be together, but it’s only for the sake of providing a complete family for Xiaonan and Yuanxi, and to avoid external ridicule that might harm them.”

Feng Tianlan narrowed his eyes, a glint of insight flashing through. “Are you suggesting a fake marriage?”

“Well, if you’re unwilling, we can…”

“Alright, 1 agree!”

Before Gu Qingluan could finish, Feng Tianlan agreed.

Gu Qingluan looked at him in astonishment and reminded him, “You don’t need more time to think about it?”

Feng Tianlan’s lips curled up. “No, 1 don’t.”

Right now, it was just for show, but sooner or later, it would turn into something real.

Just like before, when she was adamantly against accepting him, and now, her mind had changed.

As long as she married him, they would have plenty of opportunities to be together.

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection. He believed that one day he could win her heart.

Gu Qingluan snapped her fingers. “Great, that’s settled. Now, let’s discuss another issue. While we’re technically husband and wife, I have my own business to attend to, and I can’t stay by your side all the time. You need to understand this.”

At her words, Feng Tianlan furrowed his brows.

“If you can’t accept this, then maybe we should reconsider. I can’t stay at home like other women.”

“No problem. I won’t stop you from going out, but you have to let me know where you’re going.” He added before she could speak, “What I mean is, I need to know your whereabouts so 1 can feel at ease. If you disappear, where should 1 go to find another mother for Yuanxi?”

Gu Qingluan thought his concern was reasonable.

“Alright, if I need to go out for something, 1’11 inform you.”

Seeing her agreement, Feng Tianlan smiled faintly.

“One last thing, as fake husband and wife, we should naturally cooperate in public. However, in private, I hope we won’t interfere with each other and definitely not force each other to do things we dislike.”

Feng Tianlan’s gaze slightly darkened. “But what if one of us does something the other doesn’t like?”

“It depends on what it is. Nobody’s behavior can completely meet the other’s expectations and preferences.”

“Even though we’re not a real couple, we have the title of husband and wife. As 1 see it, as long as we’re married, we shouldn’t engage in any ambiguities with other people of the opposite sex. I don’t want to hear any rumors spreading.”

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow and smiled. “That’s only natural. 1 don’t want these matters to affect Xiaonan and Yuanxi.”

“Then, do you have any more questions? If not, shall we consider it a deal?”

She raised a hand.

Feng Tianlan said, “One more request. 1 hope this agreement remains known only to the two of us.”

“Agreed!”

Feng Tianlan lifted the corner of his lips and shook hands with her.

In the evening, Feng Tianlan and Gu Qingluan entered the dining room together.

Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi both noticed something unusual, and their equally bright eyes scrutinized the two of them.

Gu Qingluan cleared her throat and then said to her sons, “Your father and 1 have decided to get married.”

“All? Mother, are you serious?”

The two little ones looked at her in astonishment.

However, their reactions were different..
