Is the person in front of her really her daughter? Feng Lan's hand unconsciously stroked Ji Jiuying gently. Ji Jiuying was also a little red-eyed. This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
A powerful man dressed in black appeared behind Ji Jiuying. Feng Lan was startled and, as if by instinct, quickly shielded Ji Jiuying behind her.
"Mother, don't be afraid. He is my fiancé, named Gong Mingyue."
Feng Lan then lowered her guard and looked at Gong Mingyue with surprise in her eyes: "Jiu'er, you two are engaged?"
"Madam Feng, not yet. We are just waiting for Madam Feng's nod." Gong Mingyue's cold voice came, and Feng Lan was a little at a loss. She had just learned that she had a daughter, and now a future son-in-law had come. It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, it felt like a precious treasure that had just been placed in one's palm was about to be snatched away by someone else before it could even be warmed up. Her gaze towards Gong Mingyue was clearly displeased.
Gong Mingyue: ......
Ji Jiuying: ······
"Mother, A-Yue is very capable. Let him take a look at the restraints on your body. Once you remove these restraints, you will understand the reason for everything."
Feng Lan nodded, thinking to herself, "This son-in-law seems to be of some use after all."
Gong Mingyue: Mother-in-law, I'm still very useful...
Gong Mingyue gathered a power in his hand and slowly enveloped Feng Lan, with wisps of spiritual energy gradually entering her mind.
Kamakura in the Sea Palace suddenly opened his eyes, then closed them again, as if sensing something. He then breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he was still there, but then a little uneasy thought crossed his mind.
He glanced at the sky and said, "Tu Long, come with me to fetch Lan'er back."
"Yes, island lord."
A man in black beside him responded respectfully.
After a while, Gong Mingyue withdrew his spiritual energy, and Ji Jiuying stepped forward and asked, "A-Yue, how is it? Is there any way?"
Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes. He was still caught off guard for the first time: "The restraints within Madam Feng's body are far stronger than we imagined. I tested it just now, and it may have already alerted Kamakura. They are probably on their way now."
"Isn't there any other way?"
"Jiu'er, don't worry. Although I alerted him, I made some changes to the restraints. Madam Feng can dig deeper into the fragmented scenes in his memory, but it might hurt a bit."
Feng Lan, thinking that Kamakura would be coming later, took Ji Jiuying's hand and said, "Jiu'er, you should take this opportunity to leave now, so that he doesn't find out."
She hadn't forgotten what Jiu'er had said about Kamakura wanting to kill her. If he discovered Jiu'er was here, he would definitely attack her, but unfortunately, she had no spiritual power at all.
Ji Jiuying nodded: "Mother, pretend you don't know anything for now, I'll come to find you again tomorrow."
"good."
Outside Tongxin Hall, Feng Che waited anxiously.
Why has Jiu'er been inside for so long?
Could it be that Lan'er doesn't believe it? Or has it been exposed? She wanted to rush in but was afraid of ruining Jiu'er's plans, so she could only wait outside.
squeak--
The door opened from the inside, and Feng Lan and Ji Jiuying came out one after the other. Feng Che looked at the two of them nervously. Feng Lan looked at Feng Che with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes. Feng Che froze on the spot. It seemed that she knew.
Feng Lan returned to her original appearance and looked at Feng Che with a smile: "Young Master, this girl is fine. She can cooperate with my technique again tomorrow."
"By the way, there's no need to queue when you come tomorrow."
"Thank you so much, doctor!"
Feng Che led Ji Jiuying out, and Feng Lan looked at the two with reluctance in her eyes. Until the two figures disappeared at the door, Feng Lan turned around and looked at the cherry blossoms in the middle of the main hall, as if she knew why she liked cherry blossoms so much.
As soon as Ji Jiuying and Feng Che stepped out of the door, they saw Kamakura walking towards them in the distance. Their hearts sank slightly, and they quickened their pace before turning around and entering the teahouse.
Just as Kamakura was about to enter Tongxin Hall, she turned her head to look in the direction where Feng Che and Ji Jiuying had disappeared, her effeminate eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
Upon entering Tongxin Hall, one sees a woman in white gazing at a cherry blossom painting on the wall.
"Lan'er, are you done with your work?"
Feng Lan turned around and looked at the man she had lived with for more than ten years. A strange light flashed across her face, and she replied softly, "Yes, I'm done."
"Lan'er, you look a little pale. Is your headache acting up again?" Kamakura said, reaching out to take her hand to check her pulse. Feng Lan subconsciously took a step back, and Kamakura's hand froze in place.
"Lan'er, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm just a little tired after a long day."
"Let's go back first, and rest for a day tomorrow." Kamakura looked at her with some concern and smiled.
Looking at his gentle, spring-like smile, Feng Lan couldn't believe that this man had lied to her for over a decade and that the things he had done for her were incredibly crazy.
"No, I've already spoken with the villagers, and they'll have another free follow-up appointment tomorrow."
"Lan'er, why make yourself so tired? The patient is important, but your own health is even more important."
“You don’t understand me at all. Sometimes I really feel like I’m living like a puppet. I only feel that my life has any meaning when I’m helping others with their medical treatment.” Feng Lan said, looking at Kamakura, but his eyes only showed doubt and no other emotion.
Kamakura remained silent for a long time. Although she was still somewhat resistant to him most of the time, she felt that Feng Lan was acting strangely today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
"Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow."
Feng Lan's eyes flickered slightly. "No need. I'm used to being alone. With you here, I actually feel a little uncomfortable."
"Lan'er, we've lived together for over ten years, do you still feel anything for me...?"
"Ah Cang, I'm sorry, I don't know why I still can't get over that hurdle in my heart, I really can't..." Feng Lan immediately interrupted him. As before, she was still very resistant to him saying those kinds of things to her.
"You still can't accept me, can you? Lan'er, even the coldest stone should be warmed up after more than ten years!" A trace of sadness flashed across Kamakura's eyes, then changed in an instant, the tenderness in his eyes turning into a sinister domineering look. He suddenly grabbed Feng Lan's shoulders, forcing her to look at him.
"Lan'er, I don't want to wait any longer..."
Feng Lan was so frightened by his gaze and behavior that she dared not move. Over the years, he had always respected her and been very gentle with her. This was the first time she had seen him like this, and she remembered Ji Jiuying's words.
Is this the real him?
Realizing that his actions had frightened her, Kamakura released her and returned to his original appearance. He looked at her, his smile still as gentle as a breeze, and gently touched her hair, as if he were not the same person as before.
"Lan'er, we've arrived."
Feng Lan then shakily came to her senses, nodded slightly, turned and entered the courtyard, then stopped and looked at Kamakura.
"Ah Cang, give me a little more time about that matter."
