Chapter 117: I Like You

Chapter 117: I Like You

Speaking of this, Mo Cangyan pinched her face in displeasure.

"You have the nerve to say that, your husband is accompanying another woman, and you can still sleep soundly!"

Jumping into the room, he had expected her to be upset and unable to sleep. Instead, he saw her sleeping with a sweet expression on her face, which made him feel rather frustrated.

If he was unhappy, she couldn't be happy either. He climbed onto the bed and kissed her deeply...

Listening to his words filled with jealousy, Feng Xiyao smiled, her eyes curving as she played with his hair that fell over her hand.

"It's because I know it's just acting, so of course, I won't take it seriously!"

Mo Cangyan huffed softly, "Are you not taking the act seriously, or am I not being taken seriously by you?"

Feng Xiyao, feeling at a loss under his gaze, retracted her hand and pushed him away.

"Oh my, why are you so fond of dwelling on trivial matters?"

Mo Cangyan turned to lie beside her, pulling her into his embrace, and whispered in her ear.

"I like you, so naturally, I care about everything about you!"

"..."

Feng Xiyao's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. "What? The Tyrant likes me? Oh my God, did I hear that wrong? Someone hit me with a stick to wake me up – Mo Cangyan actually likes me?"

Before she could fully absorb the shock, the Life Value in her mind suddenly rose to 45%.

"Oh my God, what's going on with this Life Value?!"

Mo Cangyan didn't understand her words, only assuming that she was too happy to think straight. He chuckled softly into the nape of her neck.

He had known it – with his charm, there was no way this woman wouldn't have feelings for him!

"..."

Feng Xiyao thought she had misheard. After a long while, she whispered back to him, "Mo Cangyan, you... like me?"

The man kissed her forehead gently, his tone laced with a hint of amusement.

"Alright, go to sleep now. I'll explain everything you want to know when we get back!"

Feng Xiyao blinked lightly, feeling a surge of happiness. But the next moment, thoughts of the original female lead flooded her mind, leaving her heart empty.

"If the tyrant really likes me, what about the original female lead? Even if he likes me now, what if he changes his mind when she appears?"

Not wanting her to dwell on this issue further, Mo Cangyan's voice, tinged with danger, whispered into her neck.

"Since Madam doesn't seem to want to sleep, how about we do something else!"

Feeling his restrained yet fiery body, Feng Xiyao refrained from further contemplation. She closed her eyes, urging herself to fall asleep quickly. The matters of the future could wait until they returned.

After a while, hearing her even breathing, Mo Cangyan opened his eyes and gazed intently at her delicate face.

He was contemplating whether to tell her, upon their return, that regardless of the original female lead, his affection belonged solely to her, and would remain that way in the future.

However, if he were to admit this, she would know that he could hear her thoughts.

After much contemplation, Mo Cangyan decided to clarify the situation with her. Otherwise, there was no way this woman would accept him!

Considering her carefree nature and enigmatic background, Mo Cangyan chuckled softly before gently nipping at her chin.

"Be you demon or spirit from any realm, if Mo Cangyan has set his eyes on you, I'll use every means necessary to keep you by my side!"

...

The following morning,

As Yun was having breakfast with Mo Cangyan, she glanced up to see Feng Xiyao storming over, promptly flipping the food onto the floor.

Startled, Yun tried to speak, only to be slapped across the face.

Slap!

Instantly, she felt wronged. "Why did Madam hit me?"

Feng Xiyao glared at her with fury.

"You shameless woman! You lured my husband to your side last night, and now you're even dragging him here to dine with you. Have you lost your mind?!"

Yun smoke was intimidated by her furious demeanor and cowered behind Mo Cangyan, "My Lord, I'm scared!"

"Huh, you dare to hide?!"

As Feng Xiyao spoke, she lunged forward to pull Yun Smoke out.

"Lord, save me!" Yun Smoke's soft voice pleaded from behind.

Mo Cangyan, suppressing his anger, forcefully pushed Feng Xiyao away as she approached.

She stumbled a few steps but was fortunate enough to be caught by Xiao Feng, who had rushed over.

Mo Cangyan looked at her coldly, his tone brimming with impatience, "How long do you plan on causing a scene?"

Feng Xiyao seemed to be deeply shaken, brushing off Xiao Feng's supportive hand as she shouted loudly.

"How dare you ask me that? When you had nothing, who was it that stood by your side? And now, with this...this woman, you dare to speak to me like this?"

Mo Cangyan's voice rose in response, "I've had enough of you. Your irrational behavior and lack of dignity as a lady bring shame to me just by being seen with you!"

Listening to their heated exchange, Ruyan couldn't help but curve her lips in satisfaction. Stepping forward, she positioned herself protectively in front of the man.

"Lady, please don't continue to embarrass the Lord. He is a respected man, and you shouldn't make him lose face like this!"

"You harlot, born from a brothel, how dare you address me like that? Scram!"

Feng Xiyao pushed the person to the ground with an outstretched hand.

"Ruyan!"

Mo Cangyan called out to her with a pained heart, as if genuinely angered by the woman before him, lifting his hand as if to strike her.

Feng Xiyao gazed at his descending hand, curling her lips in mocking disdain.

"How dare you strike me for this vixen?"

"Madam, you truly disappoint me deeply."

"Scram! I never want to lay eyes on you again. I'm divorcing you!"

Feng Xiyao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? You're divorcing me?"

Mo Cangyan continued his cold demeanor. "Get out of here!"

"You bastard, how could you treat me like this? Waaaah!"

Ruyan stood up, watching Feng Xiyao rush out, covering her face in tears.

Unaware of the situation, Li Weide, entering the courtyard, was knocked flying by Feng Xiyao as she bolted past.

"Ouch, my poor old back!"

Observing the lady being scolded away, Xiao Feng interjected, "Master, Lady's temperament is just like that. How could you...?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Cangyan fiercely retorted, "Why are you worried about me scolding that shrew? Have you had your eyes on her all along?"

"Master, I haven't!"

Mo Cangyan ignored him and slapped Xiao Feng across the face.

"You unfaithful dog slave, get out of my sight! I never want to lay eyes on you again!"

"..."

Xiao Feng remained silent, lowered his head, and turned to leave.

Just as Li Weide had risen to enter the room, he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Feng's elbow as he exited...

Seeing that everyone had been chased away by Mo Cangyan, Ruoyan approached him.

"Don't be angry, Lord. Lady is just too concerned about you!"

Mo Cangyan intercepted her hand reaching for him. "Don't mention that shrew to this official!"

Ruyan's hand was pushed away, but she was secretly delighted. That woman had clearly fallen out of favor. This man would now be hers.

"Never mind, Your Excellency. You still have me!"

Upon seeing Li Weide limping in through the door, Mo Cangyan turned to Ruyan and gently smiled.

"Yes, you're still the one who is gentle and understanding."
