Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You must be curious, right? Wondering quietly to yourself, but no one has spilled the beans yet, not even the Guardian Princess has brought it up.”
“Have you ever thought about the child’s surname?”
“Hiss! Feng, this surname isn’t common. The most famous people with this surname are from the Holy Heaven Dynasty’s royal family. Plus, the way our Crown Prince Chengyuan treats Little Yuanxi is quite intriguing. Could it be that the child’s father is from the Holy Heaven Dynasty’s royal family?”
“Believe it or not, I’ve actually seen the child’s father.”
“Who is it? Tell us, quick!”
Others immediately turned their attention to the person.
“It’s just a guy, looks pretty ordinary, standing at the back there, see for yourselves.”
That person pointed towards Gu Qingluan and the others.
Previously, no one had noticed, but with this reminder, they realized there was a man standing at the entrance.
The man was tali and had an extraordinary aura, but somehow they hadn’t seen him before.
Once they saw the man’s face clearly, their initial excitement turned into disappointment.
“What nonsense are you talking about? With this appearance, can he match the Guardian Princess?”
“That man is just a guard at best!”
“I’m not making this up. I saw Little Yuanxi call him ‘daddy’ before, and just a couple of days ago, something happened on the street. The Guardian Princess was seen holding hands with a man, and they thought she was being abducted. 1 happened to witness it, and that man is him!”
“Really? Could this man be the mysterious figure from the rumors?” The crowd’s faces fell, and they suddenly felt like a flower had been placed in a pile of dung.
Many still didn’t believe it.
In their eyes, Gu Qingluan was like a fairy now, unreachable. They couldn’t imagine someone as plain-looking as this man being her match!
“The Guardian Princess belongs to our Chengyuan Kingdom, so she should marry a fine young man from our kingdom. In my opinion, the Crown Prince would be a good choice.”
“I agree. The Crown Prince excels in terms of heritage, appearance, and his own abilities. We can’t find anyone better than him.”
“Well, I don’t think she necessarily has to choose from our Chengyuan Kingdom. The Guardian Princess can consider marrying from outside, expanding her options.”
“This… that could work too. It would broaden the range of choices.”
“I think maybe from the Glacial Ice Palace…”
Feng Tianlan’s gaze followed Gu Qingluan and the child.
However, his ears were too sharp, and the discussions of the crowd unavoidably reached his ears.
His expression instantly turned cold.
He had gotten used to wearing this mask before, so he hadn’t changed it. But now, being repeatedly criticized for his looks, if he didn’t take it off, everyone would ignorantly interfere with his and Qingluan’s relationship.
With this thought in mind, Feng Tianlan suddenly tore off the mask and walked towards Gu Qingluan and her son.
The people who were previously discussing suddenly fell silent, staring at him in awe.
Others noticed the unusual situation and looked in his direction, also left speechless.
Gu Qingluan was about to take her son to a vendor when she suddenly felt the eerie silence around her. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. She followed their gaze and, uncontrollably, her eyes were filled with amazement.
Fortunately, she had seen this face before, so she quickly regained her composure.
Tang Shijun, who was standing beside Gu Qingluan, shook her arm excitedly. “Qingluan, who is he? He’s incredibly handsome, isn’t he? The moment he appeared, he outshone everyone!”
Gu Qingluan cleared her throat and pressed down Tang Shijun’s excitedly shaking hand. “Yuanxi’s father.”
“Gasp!” Tang Shijun took a sharp breath. “He… he’s Yuanxi’s father? So, does that mean…”
She glanced back and forth between Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan.
Gu Qingluan cleared her throat again. “It’s complicated.”
“This is fate! You should marry him! I’ve never seen such a good-looking man before. There’s no one more handsome in the world, right?”
Feng Tianlan happened to hear Tang Shijun’s words as he approached. He glanced at her with a pleased expression, thinking, “Qingluan has a friend with good taste.”
Seeing Feng Tianlan’s expression, Gu Qingluan knew that he had heard Tang Shijun’s words. Her face flushed involuntarily, and she pinched Tang Shijun lightly before clearing her throat once more.. “Why did you take off the mask?”
