The barrier kept the sounds from outside at bay.
The room was quiet.
There was a distance of over ten feet between Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan.
“What are you planning?” She glanced at the tightly closed door behind him, adopting a defensive posture.
Feng Tianlan’s deep and mysterious eyes fixated on her face, holding a hint of complexity within them.
After a long while, he shifted his step and slowly approached her.
Instinctively, Gu Qingluan took a step back, stopped, and asked with annoyance, “What on earth are you doing?”
Is this man crazy?
Did he have feelings for her? But she had never actively provoked him.
Yet now, he had inexplicably barged into her room.
He couldn’t even manage to avoid suspicion while she was changing clothes; instead, he locked the door. A man and a woman alone in a room—clearly, he had some hidden agenda!
“Is it you?”
She did not understand his question.
With no context to work with, Gu Qingluan had no idea what he was talking about. “What do you mean by ‘is it me’?”
“Five years ago, that night, was it you?”
His voice was icy, carrying a hidden intent to kill.
“What night are you talking about? Explain yourself!” Gu Qingluan rolled her eyes.
Feng Tianlan took a step forward, lowered his eyes, and drew closer to her. “Which night could it be other than that night? In the wilderness, a spring breeze…”
Gu Qingluan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
d.a.m.n it, the spring breeze!
Was he the “stranger” who had disrupted Gu Lingxue and Qitian Yu’s plans?
No!
There’s no way it could be him!
For a brief moment, panic surged within Gu Qingluan.
If he was the man from that night, wouldn’t that mean he’s Xiaonan’s father?
d.a.m.n it!
Absolutely not!
A surge of chaotic thoughts raced through Gu Qingluan’s mind, yet she swiftly regained her outward composure. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Right now, immediately, get out!”
However, the slight panic that had flashed in her eyes hadn’t escaped Feng Tianlan’s scrutiny.
Indeed, it was her!
After going around in circles, Yuanxi’s mother was right under his nose!
He had almost missed her!
This heartless woman had actually abandoned his child!
Feng Tianlan’s chest surged with boiling blood. He grabbed the hand she pointed at him, forcefully pulled her in front of him, held onto her chin, and his voice turned icy and menacing. “Don’t know? Then what’s this?”
With that said, he forcefully tugged at her fingertip.
Rip!
The clothes she had just put on were as fragile as paper and tore apart instantly.
“You scoundrel!”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t contain her anger. She slapped him and simultaneously pushed him away with great force. She rapidly retreated several steps until she was against the edge of the table.
While she lifted her clothes back up, she glared at him with a mixture of anger and embarra.s.sment.
Scoundrel!
b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
He had the audacity to take liberties with her!
Her neckline was torn, and no matter how she adjusted it, it wouldn’t sit right.
Even more infuriated, Gu Qingluan clenched a packet of poison in her palm.
If he dared to touch her again, regardless of whether he was Yuanxi’s father or not, she’d poison him!
With a palm print on his face, Feng Tianlan wasn’t angered. He just smiled softly. “The phoenix birthmark on your back can only be seen by someone very intimate with you. Gu Qingluan, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?”
That night, Feng Tianlan only vaguely remembered the phoenix birthmark on her back, faintly glowing. Such a unique birthmark was exceedingly rare. He didn’t believe there could be a second person with it.
If it wasn’t for accidentally catching sight of her while she changed clothes, he wouldn’t have noticed. The person he was looking for was right here!
Birthmark?
Gu Qingluan hadn’t paid any attention to her back. Upon hearing his words, she scanned with her spiritual sense and indeed saw a pink birthmark on her back, resembling a phoenix.
He tore her clothes just to see the birthmark?
d.a.m.n it!
Was that necessary?
You scoundrel!
Did he really need to be so shameless?
In her memory, aside from that night with the stranger, she hadn’t been intimate with any other man. If he recognized her, does that mean he’s really the stranger who left after having his fun? Xiaonan’s father?
Was his overbearing behavior right now for any purpose? Even if that incident back then was an accident, wasn’t it her who suffered the loss?
No matter what his motives were, right now, in this moment, she was not pleased!
She was displeased, and he shouldn’t expect an easy time!
Suppressing her anger, Gu Qingluan revealed a wicked smile and raised her fingers, counting, “Someone intimate? Even if I don’t have ten, I have at least eight.. Who do you think you are?”
