Chapter 1018: When Will We Also Be a Family of Three
“Liang’er, I am now Feng Tianlan. If it had not been made public unexpectedly, I would have never been Shen Qingdai, so I should not be in charge of the Shen family. As for the Xuantian Alliance, I believe that the master behind it will soon withdraw the decree because I am now a member of the Bailan Alliance. I will never be allowed to be the Lord,” Feng Tianlan said with a brief smile.
She thought very clearly. The position of the Lord of the Xuantian Alliance would never be hers again.
The three major Alliances checked and balanced each other. If she sat in the seat as the Lord of the Xuantian Alliance, then the Bailan Alliance and the Xuantian Alliance would be united. At that time, the Fengyun Alliance would stand alone and soon suffer being pushed aside and bullied by the three Alliances.
And as far as she knew, the emergence of the Xuantian Alliance was to check and balance the Fengyun Alliance and the Bailan Alliance. No matter which side’s ambition became too big, the Xuantian Alliance would be inclined to help the other side to balance the power. Absolutely no side would be allowed to become more powerful.
It seemed that the Xuantian Alliance was guarding the entire Xuantian Continent. After all, the name was hardly different.
Listening to Feng Tianlan’s analysis, Shen Liang finally nodded and said, “I will not disappoint Big Sister’s expectations.”
Feng Tianlan smiled and reached out to touch his head. Instead, she realized that he was half a head taller than her, so she took her hand back and said, “You brat, all grown up. It’s time to get married and bring back a wife.”
“Big Sister, I’m still young. How about you and Brother-in-law? When are you going to get married? Ah, I am the only man in the family. If he wanted to propose marriage, he has to get my permission,” Shen Liang said.
“The little kid is getting bold.”
“I’m not a kid anymore. I’m taller than Big Sister and can protect you.”
The two of them talked and bantered as if they had gone back to how they were when they were young. She still remembered Shen Liang was especially naughty but would be particularly protective of her, his older cousin. He was clearly younger than her but would always pat on his thin chest and say he would protect her.
Feng Tianlan looked up at Si Mobai, standing at the door of the residence and watching her from a distance while waiting for her. Then she looked at Shen Liang beside her. She smiled contentedly, feeling that it was so nice to have all of her beloved family and friends. She felt everything was incredibly happy and blissful.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll leave Big Sister in your good hands,” Shen Liang looked up and said to Si Mobai.
Si Mobai heard Shen Liang call ‘Brother-in-law’ and raised his eyebrows happily as he answered, “Naturally. She’s my wife, so I’ll protect her.”
“We’re not even married yet.” Feng Tianlan struck him with her elbow.
“We’re heading back. Brother-in-law, you don’t have to see us off.” Si Mobai reached out and held Feng Tianlan’s hand. Both of their hands were intertwined tightly together.
Well, Lan’er had family and he had also been acknowledged by her family. It felt really good. He really wanted to marry Lan’er and bring her home after all kinds of proper rites.
Si Mobai led Feng Tianlan as they strolled through the street. It was brightly lit at this time and the vendors were hawking their wares. The two of them interlocked their hands, feeling calm and contented.
“Mobai, my heart feels so much lighter. I like this kind of quiet life,” Feng Tianlan said.
Feng Tianlan looked up at a scallion noodle stall where an old couple was sitting inside and slurping down noodles. There were other places, like a small stir-fry spot with two brothers drinking wine and talking loudly. In front of a candy maker’s stall, a young couple carried a small pink baby while the vendor was kneading a sugar figure.
All of this was really beautiful to her eyes at this time. It was very ordinary but very blissful and calm.
“I like it too, especially the image of the family of three.” Si Mobai followed Feng Tianlan’s gaze and looked at the family of three in front of the candy maker. He said, “Lan’er, when will we also be a family of three?”
