Chapter 712: 712

Chen Xinyi was nervous at first . After hearing Feng Tianlan calling her name, she became even more nervous . She then accidentally stepped on a rock and shouted softly as she fell forward .

Feng Tianlan subconsciously reached out to support her when she saw her falling . She then said in a cold tone, “There are lots of dewdrops in the morning . It’s very slippery by the river . Be careful . ”

To Feng Tianlan, the support she had provided happened in a matter of seconds . However, to Chen Xinyi, it felt like ten thousand years, as if time had stopped at the exact moment where their eyes met . She blushed instantly .

After Feng Tianlan helped her stabilise herself, she forced her legs to move . She wanted to leave .

Chen Xinyi immediately grabbed onto Feng Tianlan’s sleeves when she saw her trying to walk past her . She then shouted in a nervous and cowardly tone, “Master Shen . ”

“Hum?” Feng Tianlan lowered her head and looked at her sleeve, which was being pulled . She then raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Xinyi .

After hearing that deep ‘hum’ which ended in a higher pitch, Chen Xinyi blushed in embarrassment . Her heart was palpitating even faster as she lowered her head . “Master Shen, I…”

She wanted to say something; however, she couldn’t say it out loud, which made her stomp her feet anxiously .

“What’s the matter?” Feng Tianlan frowned .

“I…” Chen Xinyi raised her head . Her eyes met Feng Tianlan’s cold eyes . She then lowered her head immediately . She didn’t know how to say it . She just hoped that she would understand her initiative .

Looking at the shy Chen Xinyi who was speaking in a hesitant manner, Feng Tianlan had a bad feeling . Could this be just like what Mei’er had predicted?

When Feng Tianlan thought about that, her face turned cold . She pulled her sleeve away from her hand and said in a cold voice, “Miss Chen, it is improper for a man and a woman to be so intimate . ”

When Chen Xinyi saw Feng Tianlan leaving, she got even more nervous and followed right behind her . She grabbed onto the corner of her shirt as she ignored her embarrassment and the outcome and said in a hurried manner, “Master Shen, I like you . ”

After hearing these words, Feng Tianlan staggered from the shock . She almost fell down . Chen Xinyi, who was grabbing onto her shirt, almost fell down as well . She then reached out immediately and pulled her up . The two of them then stood steadily on the ground .

Chen Xinyi raised her head and looked at her slender fingers that were wrapped around her wrist . She felt the heat on her fingertips scalding her skin through her clothes, which made her felt even more embarrassed, and she lowered her head . However, she suddenly became more courageous . “After you complete your mission, you can head to the Chen Manor in Xi Yuan City’s Anyang City to propose a our marriage to my parents . Then, we can get married . ”

These words made Feng Tianlan retract her hand and back off in shock . She then raised her head and said in a cold voice, “Miss Chen, this joke is not funny . ”

Propose marriage?

Get married?

They were both women!

Chen Xinyi’s grip was loosened . After seeing Feng Tianlan had backed off and had said such a thing, Chen Xinyi raised her head and looked at her aggrievedly . “Master Shen, this is not a joke . I am speaking the truth . ”

“No way . ” Feng Tianlan rejected her in a serious tone .

“Why?” Chen Xinyi didn’t expect to get rejected so straightforwardly . Her eyes turned red, however, she still asked determinedly .

Feng Tianlan felt troubled when she saw Chen Xinyi, who was about to cry but was trying her best to hold back her tears . She then said in a cold voice . ,”I am engaged . I have someone that I like . ”

Why did she have so many questions? Putting the fact that they were both women aside, even if she were to be a man, they had only known each other for a short while . How could she propose marriage to her? It would damage a lady’s reputation .

Fortunately, they were on the outskirts where no one was around; otherwise, Chen Xinyi would have been criticized by others .

She then remembered that Chen Xinyi was a pure lady . She shouldn’t have the courage to do this . There must be someone instigating her to do this .
