Chapter 4
Came For Him
Just as he reached a place where he could see Little Huzi, Luo Cheng heard this sentence.
“Didn’t you say that Brother Luo likes your cousin, Li Yan? Why did it become Sister Ran?”
As soon as Luo Cheng heard his name, he stopped in his tracks and found a relatively hidden place to hide.
“Don’t make such a fuss. Do you think my sister is willing to?! It’s all because my uncle and the others bullied our family. I don’t know what Li Yan said that actually made Grandpa decide to marry my sister to Luo Cheng. I don’t understand. Are they treating Luo Cheng as a fool? He already said that he wanted Li Yan to marry him, but they insisted that my sister marry him. If Luo Cheng finds out that the person he married is my sister, how miserable would my sister be?!” Li Xiaoqing said worriedly.
When Luo Cheng heard this, mockery flashed across his eyes.
When Little Huzi heard Li Xiaoqing’s words, he stopped what he was doing and thought for a moment.
“That’s right. Brother Luo likes Li Yan, but the person your family married is Sister Ran. If I were Brother Luo, I would definitely be angry! Then Sister Ran would be in trouble! If Brother Luo doesn’t like her, who knows how miserable her life will be in the future!”
“Because of this, my sister was injured. That’s why she became like this! But even so, my grandfather and the others still forced my sister to marry Luo Cheng. Of course, this matter isn’t without benefits. At least after this incident, my sister seems to have thought things through and her personality has changed a lot. She feels much more cheerful than before. To be honest, I actually like my sister now! My sister was nice in the past, but she was too subservient, like my father! She worked hard and didn’t complain, but she didn’t like to say that she had worked hard!” Li Xiaoqing thought for a while and said what was on her mind to her best friend.
Li Xiaoran, who was not sleeping very soundly, woke up and heard her sister. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
No matter what, it was a good thing that her sister liked the current her. She didn’t have to pretend to be the original host.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran opened her eyes with a smile. Just as she was about to speak to her sister, she noticed Luo Cheng standing not far away.
It turned out that Luo Cheng’s hiding place was very hidden to Li Xiaoqing and Little Huzi, but Li Xiaoran could see him the moment she opened her eyes.
Luo Cheng noticed that Li Xiaoran had discovered him, so he glanced at Li Xiaoran coldly.
That glance contained a warning, causing Li Xiaoran to suddenly fall silent.
What should she do? Should she close her eyes and continue to pretend to be asleep, or should she muster up her courage and go over to chat?
Didn’t she come to the mountain for this man in front of her?
On the other hand, Little Huzi and Li Xiaoqing didn’t notice the abnormality around them at all. Instead, they continued to pick up the pine fur.
“Hey, I’m almost done collecting! I know a place nearby with a wild egg nest. Let’s go pick it up first and then bring it back to nourish Sister Ran’s body!” Little Huzi suggested.
When Li Xiaoqing heard that, she immediately became interested and nodded. “Okay! We’ll go now! My sister is already injured, yet my grandma isn’t even willing to give her an egg. My sister ate mushy porridge at noon!”
With that, the two of them walked in the same direction to pick up wild eggs.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran really thought that she should take action and seize this rare opportunity. Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng strode to Li Xiaoran’s side.
“You want to marry me on behalf of Li Yan?” Luo Cheng asked directly.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she turned to look at Luo Cheng in shock.
As expected, when she looked at Luo Cheng at such a close distance, the feeling of incongruity became even stronger.
“I asked you a question! Why? Are you so frightened by me that you can’t speak?” Luo Cheng asked coldly for the second time.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran came to her senses and shook her head.
“I’m not frightened by you. I’m just thinking about what to say! That’s right, I want to marry you on behalf of Li Yan!”
Li Xiaoran was still hesitating if she should say it, but since the other party had already asked, there was nothing to hide.
Li Xiaoran’s honest reply surprised Luo Cheng.
He knew his face and aura very well. There were only a few people who could speak without trembling in front of him and meet his gaze.
Unexpectedly, there was one more person now.
“You’re quite honest. Aren’t you afraid that your words will anger me? Or that I’ll beat you up and send you back to the Li family before letting Li Yan marry me?” For some reason, Luo Cheng threatened Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran caught the mirth in Luo Cheng’s eyes and subconsciously replied, “You won’t!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “Oh really? Why do you think so? Haven’t you heard what the people in the village said? I have a bad temper and I’m abusive. I like to beat people until their skin and flesh are lacerated!”
Without saying a word, Luo Cheng took a step forward, making Li Xiaoran want to retreat.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaoran endured it and let Luo Cheng approach.
Luo Cheng was really surprised to see that Li Xiaoran was really not afraid of him.
Interesting! Ordinary girls would have fled in fear after being frightened by him.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him didn’t take a single step back.
“If you’re willing to marry me, it’s fine!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and suddenly said this.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, her face was filled with shock.
