Feng Tianlan blinked at Si Mobai. What was he going to say?
Si Mobai reached out his right hand. On his middle finger was a half-heart-shaped ring. He held Feng Tianlan's left hand. Their fingers interlocked, combining their two half-heart-shaped rings into a full heart, tangled together.
"Actually, I didn't like you at the start. The first time I saved you, I did it because my heart was stirred. After going back to the palace, Si Ming told me that you would be my wife. This is a duty that I was born to accomplish."
Feng Tianlan looked at him with astonishment, doubting the way he'd addressed the emperor as well the words Si Mobai claimed that the emperor had spoken. She'd still been engaged to Si Rong back then, so how could the emperor have said such a thing?
