Chapter 888: Xi Jin Knows That Feng Tianlan Is Dai'er 4

Xi Jin pursed his lips. He seemed like he had a lot of things to say but he just couldn't say them out loud. Her reason was far-fetched; however, he was in no position to question her.

"You just watched me mistake someone else for you?" Even though he wasn't deserving he refused to accept his fate. She had just watched him mistake someone else for her. He had kept going against her and even misunderstood her.

However, after asking her out loud, Xi Jin clenched his fist remorsefully. "I am sorry," he said.

There were several times where her actions, her words, and her smile made him feel like she was Dai'er. However, she kept denying it. Therefore, he really believed that she wasn't Dai'er.

After all, he wasn't paying enough attention. He really couldn't blame her.

"Crown Prince Xi, there was no need for anyone to apologize for this incident. Being reborn in someone else's body isn't a good thing in the first place. I would be called a lady demon if I were to tell anyone. Besides, I have a new identity now. I also have Mobai by my side. The past is no longer important to me."

The past was important to her. However, this was the only way she could comfort Xi Jin.

At the same time, there was no need for him to apologize for her death and eating her flesh. This was because he knew nothing about it. If he were to know that, his life would be ruined.

There really wasn't a need for the both of them to apologize because neither of them was at fault. The only ones who were at fault were Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya.

"That's why you treated me like a stranger?" Xi Jin raised his head and looked at her with eyes filled with sorrow and guilt. "From Brother Jin to Crown Prince Jin?"

They had become so estranged. Was it because he married her murderer, Shen Yunya?

However, he had just wanted to avenge her.

"No." Feng Tianlan shook her head gently and said in a serious manner, "I already have Mobai. He would get jealous. I wouldn't allow myself to address another man so intimately."

That was true. Mobai loved to be jealous. He was really insecure. He only had her, so she had to give him a sense of security. That was why she couldn't address someone else so intimately anymore, like calling him a brother.

Xi Jin clenched his fists tightly. He felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart. Her words were like knives, stabbing him, making it hard for him to breathe from all the pain.

"What about Jiang Ying?"

Xi Jin immediately regretted asking that. He lowered his head and endured the pain in his heart. "I am sorry," he said.

If he hadn't known the truth, it would have been okay for him to ask her that. However, since he knew the truth, he was undoubtedly exposing her scars by bringing that up.

Jiang Ying was not worthy of Dai'er's love!

"When I truly loved someone, I realized that my previous feelings towards him were nothing but child's play. It was like playing house. I was influenced by the public's opinion of us being a perfect couple. Therefore, I became dependent on Jiang Ying. There wasn't any affection between the two of us," she said.

After hearing what Feng Tianlan said, Xi Jin stared at her blankly. He suddenly felt as if those words were actually directed at him.

"Dai'er, are there any other reasons why you didn't want to reunite with me?" Xi Jin asked tentatively. Would she reveal the truth behind her death?

Feng Tianlan still shook her head gently. "No. I just didn't want Mobai to be jealous. Therefore, I chose not to reunite with you. I didn't want him to know that I liked another man in my previous life."

"Really?" Xi Jin was staring straight at her. "Is there any other reason?" he pressed.

"No," Feng Tianlan replied.

Xi Jin didn't say anything. His eyes were gentle yet filled with complex emotions as he stared at her. He wanted to ask her why she was lying.
