Chapter 490: Hug in Public
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feng Tianlan was slightly stunned.
In the past, if he discovered that a woman had tricked him, he would have become very angry and wanted to seek vengeance.
But at this moment, he wasn’t angry at all. Instead, a hint of pleasure welled up in his heart.
When he first met her, he had been too harsh on her, so her deception was understandable.
But now, she had taken the initiative to confess to him. Did it mean that she had let go of the grudge and was starting to accept him?
Gu Qingluan observed his expression while speaking and found it strange that he showed no signs of being upset. “You don’t mind?”
“It doesn’t matter. Are you willing to tell me the truth now?”
Feng Tianlan smiled lightly.
Gu Qingluan recalled the first time she met him. Back then, he was like a demon, fierce and irritable, not listening to reason, threatening and choking her right from the start.
Although it hadn’t been long since then, it felt like a different world.
It was as if the person she met back then had been a figment of her imagination.
He had changed a lot.
And the reason for this change was quite obvious.
For a moment, ripples of emotion stirred in Gu Qingluan’s heart.
Her eyelashes fluttered gently as she lowered them to hide the flickering glint in her eyes. “I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long, but… Xiaonan is your son.”
After saying this, she didn’t hear him speak and raised her head to look at him.
Feng Tianlan’s lips curled up, and his expression was joyful, much calmer than she had imagined.
Gu Qingluan let out a sigh of relief. “You already guessed, didn’t you? When you tested me just now, I wanted to tell you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Tianlan suddenly hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.
Gu Qingluan winced in discomfort from his tight embrace, causing her to furrow her brows involuntarily.
However, she didn’t push him away. After a moment of hesitation, she gently wrapped her arms around his back and asked, “Feng Tianlan, are you… alright?”
Could it be that he was actually angry and deliberately using this method to get back at her?
It wouldn’t be suitable to physically harm her in public, so was he resorting to a tight embrace as a form of retaliation?
However, it was too attention-grabbing!
Gu Qingluan could already feel the burning curiosity from the onlookers around them.
Seeing that he didn’t let go, she had to speak up, “Let’s talk it out. Please release me first; everyone is watching.”
Feng Tianlan didn’t care about that. Even though he had already guessed, hearing her confess it in person felt like an unexpected joy that overwhelmed him.
He pressed his face against her neck, his breath hot and hurried. “Qingluan, thank you! Thank you for telling me…”
As Gu Qingluan attempted to push him away, her hands paused, gently resting on his lean waist. “Do you want to thank me even though I deceived you?”
In fact, he could have recognized Xiaonan as his son much earlier.
Feng Tianlan lightly rubbed her head with his chin and said, “Hmm, at least you didn’t hide it from me for too long.”
Only heaven knew how conflicted he had been inside.
Every time he saw Xiaonan, his emotions were as tangled as a mess of threads that couldn’t be unraveled.
He once thought Xiaonan was his son, but he couldn’t sense any divine power in Xiaonan, and Qingluan denied that Xiaonan was his.
He imagined more than once that Xiaonan wasn’t her biological child, which would mean he was her only s.e.x partner.
But how could Xiaonan, so clever and adorable, and with such an intimate relationship with her, not be her own flesh and blood?
The mere thought that Xiaonan might be the child of another man made him want to hunt down that man and eliminate him while tossing Xiaonan far away.
But in the next moment, he would despise his own cold-heartedness. No matter who Xiaonan’s father was, he was her son, and he couldn’t think of abandoning him.
Moreover, deep down, he actually liked the little guy and couldn’t help but be drawn to him.
After realizing he had feelings for Qingluan, he dared not show this conflicting emotion.
He knew that if she ever found out, it wouldn’t end well for him.
After enduring so much agony for so many days, this moment felt like a breakthrough, clearing his mind and brightening his mood.
“Ahem, ahem, Qingluan, could the both of you please be mindful of where you are right now as you display affection?”
However, a rather uninviting voice interrupted the couple’s affectionate and ambiguous moment at that very moment..
