Chapter 1312: Forced A Smile

She still loved him, but she had her bottom line in her heart, she could not lose her pride.

Feng Tianlan pursed her lips and smiled, the world was ever-changing, no one knew what would happen in the next minute, she could only try her best to protect what she needed to protect, and try her best to live well today.

“The emperor has arrived.”

Hearing the eunuch’s sharp singing, Feng Tianlan and Xi Lin frowned at the same time.

In her arms, little Wang’er hugged Xi Lin’s neck tightly in fear, she was still babbling, “Mom, I’m afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid, mom is here.” Xi Lin hugged little Wang’er tightly and retreated to Feng Tianlan’s side, however, her gaze was fixed on Helian Huang and couldn’t move away.

This was love, no matter what happened between them, she could never control her gaze and couldn’t control her heart.

Helian Huang was still wearing the imperial robe when he attended the imperial court, the imperial maids behind him carried the food and entered one by one, his gaze first fell on Xi Lin and Little Wang’er, then on Feng Tianlan.

“Have you eaten?” Helian Huang asked Feng Tianlan, but his gaze fell on Xi Lin, today, her complexion was much better, a bit ruddy, and she was in good spirits. However, why were the mother and daughter so wary of him? Did they treat him like an enemy?

Xi Lin hugged little Wang’er, bowed, and replied indifferently, “I have already had my meal with Tianlan.”

“I didn’t ask you.” Helian Huang was a little displeased, he didn’t know who he was asking either, but seeing Xi Lin’s attitude, he didn’t like it.

“Yes.” Xi Lin naturally took a step back, but her heart was burning like a fire, it hurt badly, every time when she thought that she had suffered enough and was numb, but when she faced him, it hurt fiercely.

Feng Tianlan stood in front of Xi Lin and protected her, she raised her eyes and looked at Helian Huang coldly, she really didn’t know what to say as she was in a very awkward position.

“Have you thought about what I told you yesterday evening?” Helian Huang asked Feng Tianlan, he had an obsession in his heart.

Feng Tianlan glanced at Xi Lin out of the corner of her eyes and sheltered her, “There’s nothing to think about.”

Helian Huang had been a good friend for more than ten years, she didn’t want to get involved in this matter. However, she would take Xi Lin and little Wang’er away, she couldn’t let them suffer.

Xi Lin lowered her head in fear, she wanted to pretend that she didn’t hear their conversation, but she understood the meaning behind their words. Helian Huang had told her before.

If she had not been worried about little Wang’er’s safety, she would not have asked Tianlan for help, she did not want Tianlan to see that she was living such a miserable life.

Helian Huang was not surprised by her answer, he wanted to stay for a meal, but he remembered she did not eat anything at all last night, so he did not say anything further, just turned and left, afraid that it would affect her appetite.

Feng Tianlan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Helian Huang turned and left, she turned to look at Xi Lin’s forced smile, she felt even more uncomfortable within her heart.

“Tianlan, take Wang’er with you.” Xi Lin pushed Wang’er into her arms and said gently to Wang’er,” Wang’er, go with Aunty Lan. Mom will pick you up after I have done with my work.”

Wang’er’s big, watery eyes instantly teared up, she looked like a pitiful puppy that was about to be abandoned, but she nodded obediently. “Wan’er… is obedient.”

Her mother said that she had to be obedient so that she could be with her mother forever. Therefore, she had to be obedient.
