Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Do You Like Me?

Zhan Lan looked at him, then at the old man rowing the boat behind her, and lowered her voice to ask, “What deal?”

Mu Yan nodded, “It’s fine, the boatman is one of our own.”

A gentle breeze carrying the scent of flowers blew into the cabin. Mu Yan looked at her eyes, which were as clear as spring water, and said with displeasure, “The Empress wants you to marry the Crown Prince. Do you like him?”

Zhan Lan shook her head, “I don’t like him.”

“Si Jun wants you and Zhan Xuerou to become his Ehuang and Nuying, do you like him?” Mu Yan continued.

“I don’t like him!” Zhan Lan answered unequivocally.

“Then do you like me?” Mu Yan asked again.

Zhan Lan was at a loss for words, fiddling with the petals of a lotus in her hand without responding.

Leaning against the cabin, Mu Yan spoke with a nonchalant air, “Since you don’t dislike me, I can grudgingly become your husband. That way, no one will dare to covet you, and you won’t have to marry anyone else.”

He clenched the corner of his clothing in his palm, his gaze burning as he looked at Zhan Lan, his voice filled with temptation, “Zhan Lan, how about we pretend to get married?”

Zhan Lan looked up at him, and he had reverted to his nonchalant demeanor, “This is a deal, because Emperor Xuanwu is also forcing me to marry the princess from Western Rong. You wouldn’t want that Western Rong woman to take advantage of me, right?”
