Fire Phoenix Chapter 53

"No, no, this is impossible, it's not possible!" Feng Gui sank, and as he pulled his hair, shaking his head, he repeated the words over and over quietly. He was feeling more depressed by the second. His eyes hinted at his incredible despair and no one would recognize the once incredibly handsome Feng Gui as this despondent, desperate man before them.

'What am I to believe? This succession of revelations that rips at all I have known to be true and called them lies? I can't even say anything to refute them. I am to believe that my tender-hearted wife is the boss of the Fengyun Firm and my successful business is such through the help of others. I am also to buy that my clandestine concubine gave birth to a baby safely on my wife's behest to outside help. What on earth, what more will they claim? What is real? What is left that is mine?'

Yun Xiang disregarded Feng Gui's hopelessness and turned around to Huo Liuyun arrogantly stating, "My Crown Prince of the Can Kingdom, I want to allow you to save face, but my Mistress must get her certificate of divorce. Since Feng Gui is unwilling to sign it, I implore you My?Crown?Prince, as a favor to me, please witness their divorce."

Huo Liuyun was offended, but what could he do? He weighed the options, 'If I did this favor, I might receive support from the Fengyun Firm, so my career would be twice as successful with half the effort. If the Emperor of the Can Kingdom were here, he couldn't do better with the Fengyun Firm than this.'

Huo Liuyun smiled innocently prompting, "It's your family affair. I shouldn't interfere, but… " He stopped and turned to seek advise of Feng Tian, "Feng Tian, what do you think?"

Feng Tian was waving his hand in front of him, unable to speak out. Chu Qing was not though and with her face paled answered, "Please, My Crown Prince, make this decision on our behalf. Our family is too small to handle the intimidation of the Fengyun Firm's boss."

"No… no…My Crown Prince…Yun'er is my wife! Please, you can't…"

Huo Liuyun ignored Feng Gui's shrilling bellows and declared his adjudication, "Feng Gui, the boss of the Fengyun Firm has requested a divorce, and we can not change this course of action. Don't worry though; we will find a good wife for you."

As Yun Canglan watched Huo Liuyun, her appearance was calm but her eyes were filled with contempt.

'Huo Liuyun, you are as proud and selfish as you were three years ago. You think you will use me? Well, there is no way! You will not benefit!'

"I bear witness that Feng Gui and Feng Yun'er are divorced now." Huo Liuyun turned around smiling to curry favor with Yun Canglan, only to discover she hadn't appeared to have noticed him at all.

"No… no..no…. " Feng Gui's anguished cry was sad and shrill, drawing a fitting end to the events at hand.

Yun Xiang cupped his fist one hand before his chest, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, My Crown Prince." After that he went straight to Yun Canglan declaring, "Mistress Yun, it's done." His arrogance melted into obedience and respect.

The moment Yun Canglan rose, Lei Tianyan stepped forward to hug her. Full of self satisfaction he excitedly declared, "Yun'er, finally, you are mine."

Soon, Shui Minghan's eyes darkened and grew cold, while Xi Zhiyao sitting in the corner, squinted in Lei Tianyan's direction.

"Shall we go?" Yun Canglan's thoughts wandered, she was so empty, and it seemed that all the creatures in the world were nonentities, that there was nothing worth seeing.

Lei Tianyan held her by the waist to show off his status and leaning closer asked, "Where would you like to go?" 'Wherever you go, I want to remain with you.'

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses." Click to download MoboReader APP

d, coming back to reality and asked in bewilderment, "Where shall we go? I hadn't thought of it."

The audience stared at the couple, astonished and nearly dropped.

Huo Liuyun thought quickly, and suggested, "If you like, it would please me greatly if you stayed at the imperial palace of the Can kingdom. It's not as majestic as that of the Feng Kingdom; it has a varied scenery to offer."

Yun Canglan turned to the handsome face she had cherished for fourteen years with no feelings of such love now. She may as well have been chatting to a stranger, "I do not make it a habit of sharing my husband with other women."

Huo Liuyun was appalled and chuckled feeling embarrassed, explaining, "There must have been a misunderstanding. I meant my invitation for you to pay a visit." and to himself, he added, 'and if I can get support from the Fengyun Firm, it's well worth it.'

"Tianyan, what do you think?" Instead of answering Huo Liuyun directly, Yun Canglan asked Lei Tianyan's advice to show those present, of her devotion to the man and how his thoughts mattered.

Lei Tianyan's smile was as lovely and sly as that of a fox as he flirtatiously agreed, "Splendid thought. I have wanted very much to visit; I heard there are numerous beauties at the palace of the Crown Prince." His eyes twinkled mischievously, and he had a good understanding of her thoughts.

He lived only for her existence, for so very long now.

Yun Canglan smirked teasingly probed, "You want a woman, do you?"

"I have one in my heart." Lei Tianyan pressed his lip to her ear, and flirted, "I want to see whether the beauty of all those women can match the exquisiteness of one of your toes."

The audience was not sure what to think about the flirtation between the two.

Feng Gui was beside himself, could this woman he was watching be his once tender and submissive wife? He wondered, watching her as another man hugged her. Their magnificence and exceptional dispositions matched. It was all too much; his broken heart ripped into pieces.

Feng Tian and Chu Qing watched full of contempt and loathing for the scene, but they dared not speak out against the two.

Xi Zhiyao smiled, as he watched the animated couple with interest. His eyes narrowed, hinting they were prey and he was the hunter.

Huo Liuyun's heart stopped beating for a few seconds as he watched the couple, 'Canglan was unrestrained like Feng Yun'er and would hug me in public despite others' glances.' Suddenly his thoughts turned from the two hugging, to what was never far from his thoughts, 'But she died, she died on my chest.' he remembered vividly.

Shui Minghan remained standing with his head lowered, and it seemed as if he was avoiding the harmonious intimate couple. His hand was gripping the front of his shirt a bit tighter and tighter.

Yun Qin, Yun Qi, and Yun Xiang looked at the ceiling automatically, as they were used to such scenes. They hoped this encouraged the others to adjust themselves as well.

Lei Tianyan kissed Yun Canglan on the cheek before he reluctantly let her go.

"My Crown Prince, please show us the way."

"Yes, please, follow me, " Huo Liuyun said as he came to his senses and led the couple out.

Feng Gui wept in such a dismal way others' might pity him. However, Yun Canglan was a straightforward person, not such a kind-hearted fool. She wouldn't forgive once betrayed.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, please don't leave. I beg you, don't leave me, stay."

Yun Canglan didn't look back, her voice held contempt, "You hid your true self well. I married you, a vulgar man. I kept struggling, and finally, I am free of this. You will remain vulgar, while I will go on a new life."
