Because of her sudden outburst, Xia Fengxue was silent for a second before recounting everything in detail: how he had someone disguise his identity, how he roamed the martial world as Si Jia, and how he finally expressed his determination to marry her to Xia Chao.
After listening to everything quietly, Feng Guang sneered a few times. "Not bad. In the palace, you are the high and mighty Crown Prince. Outside the palace, you are the famous and unfathomable Master of Wuji Tower. Should I call you Si Jia now, or Xia Fengxue, or should I call you Imperial Brother?"
"Whatever you want to call this scenery, I will always be happy."
"You!" Her face turned ashen, and she was too angry to speak.
He gently patted her back, not wanting her to be truly angry. "If Fengguang is angry, she can take it out on me. Don't get angry at yourself."
Upon hearing this, the anger she had been holding in suddenly became unbearable. She had never imagined that Sijia was just a fake identity for her imperial brother. Moreover, this so-called hidden setting was not mentioned at all in the original text, and the system had not told her that the second male lead had a dual identity. Of course, the butterfly effect could not be ruled out, but this butterfly effect was just too big!
Wait a minute, isn't her current concern about winning over her brother?!
"Sijia...Brother..." she stammered, on the verge of tears, "We're siblings, why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have liked you!"
She shouldn't commit adultery!
Xia Fengxue paused strangely. Seeing that she wished she could forget him, he said, "I didn't mention it to Fengguang earlier, but actually... Fengguang and I are not related by blood."
"You mean my father was cuckolded?"
His expression was subtle. "This interpretation... seems to be quite accurate."
Feng Guang should have felt sympathy for her father, but she was genuinely relieved. Her tense body went limp in his arms, and she said softly, "That's great..."
This statement, taken in the context of her father who was cuckolded, seems rather disrespectful…
Xia Fengxue picked her up and sat her on the stone bench, letting her sit on his lap and lean against his chest. "Fengguang, don't worry, our relationship won't violate any moral principles or ethics."
Even if they really were siblings, he could use a thousand ways to make her believe they weren't related by blood.
Feng Guang still wanted to settle accounts with him, but then she remembered something very important, "What about... the person who was impersonating you in the palace? Where did he go?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Feng Guang cares about him a lot?"
“Of course I care. I’ve called him my elder brother for ten years, and he’s taken care of me for ten years, so he’s practically my brother. Tell me, did you…” Before she could finish her sentence, she had already gripped his clothes tightly and was staring intently at him. It was precisely because she knew what kind of man he was that she was so terrified that he would kill that man.
Feng Guang is a sentimental person, so it's only natural that she would care about that man. Xia Fengxue told himself not to be angry, not to misunderstand, and to stay calm. Finally, after calming down, he said, "I just let him return to Wuji Tower."
"It's good that you didn't kill him..." She could finally relax.
