The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady Chapter 151

Chapter 151

151 I Have Someone I Like

When Li Qiang brought his men out of Luo Cheng’s place, he was about to go up the mountain to take a look when he saw his wife running out.

“Husband, don’t go around looking for her. Yan’er is back! Yesterday, she went up the mountain to dig herbs and encountered heavy rain. She was trapped on the mountain and found a cave to hide in for the night. Now that the rain has subsided, she ran back!” Li Qiang’s wife, w.a.n.g Ying, ran out and shouted.

When Li Qiang heard this, he couldn’t care less and quickly brought his people home.

At this moment, Li Yan had already changed her clothes and was drying her wet hair by the fire.

Li Qiang was relieved to see his daughter sitting by the fire.

Thinking of what Little Huzi had said previously, Li Qiang suddenly flew into a rage and rushed to Li Yan.

“Someone in the village said they saw you going up the mountain with a man?”

Li Yan was drying her hair. When she heard her father’s words, she immediately replied in surprise, “I went up the mountain with someone, but the other party was there to ask for directions. Later, when we reached the foot of the mountain, we went our separate ways! Father, what kind of person do you think your daughter is?”

Li Qiang was relieved to hear that.

“Li Qiang, it’s good that she’s back. It’s good that she didn’t do anything shameful! She’s insensible. Since she’s fine, we’ll leave first!” A man who was looking for Li Yan with Li Qiang said when he saw that Li Yan had returned safely.

“That’s right! It’s good that you’re fine!” The others followed suit and left.

Li Qiang thank the group and sent them out of the house.

After confirming that there were no outsiders in the Li family’s house, Li Qiang quickly closed the courtyard door and rushed into the house.

“Daughter! When you weren’t around yesterday, someone came to ask for your hand in marriage! The other party is the Zeng family of White Foothill City. Their family has opened several shops. If you marry him, your future life will definitely be blissful!” As Li Qiang spoke, he carried a stool to Li Yan’s side.

Li Yan’s hand that was drying her hair stopped. Then, she looked up and stared at Li Qiang. “Father agreed?”

“How is that possible?! If the other party wants to marry Yan’er, we naturally have to take action! Your mother and I said that we have to discuss it with our families, so we haven’t given an answer yet!” Li Qiang said.

When Li Yan heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“Father, Mother, this marriage isn’t suitable for me. You can reject him the next time he comes!”

When Li Qiang and w.a.n.g Ying heard Li Yan’s words, they immediately became anxious.

In their opinion, this marriage was definitely a good one!

“Yan’er, listen to me. The other party’s conditions are really good. He already said that after you marry him, you don’t have to do anything. You just have to have a son with him!” w.a.n.g Ying persuaded.

“Mother, why don’t you think about it? If the other party is so good, why didn’t he find a suitable girl around White Foothill City to marry? Why did he come to our house? Also, why don’t you ask how the other party knows about me? I don’t believe that everyone in White Foothill City knows about me!” Li Yan said clearly.

It had to be said that as long as Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng weren’t involved, Li Yan wouldn’t lose her rationality.

Besides, he was just from a rich family. How could he compare to Pei Xuanxin, who would become an extremely influential official in the future?

She was going to be an official’s wife in the future, so she naturally looked down on the Zeng family.

“He said that he wants a good-looking daughter! He wants a good-looking grandson, so he’s willing to marry a girl without a wealthy family background but who’s good-looking!” w.a.n.g Ying used the Zeng family’s excuse.

“Hmph, Mother, I’m just trying to coax you! How could there not be any good-looking girls in White Foothill City? In the end, he abandoned those close to him and came to our small village to look for me. It’s obvious that there’s a problem. I’m afraid this isn’t a blessing, but a trap! Besides, I already have someone I like. I definitely won’t marry into the Zeng family!” Li Yan said bluntly.

“What? Who do you like?” Li Qiang stood up immediately and asked with a dark expression.

For some reason, what Little Huzi had said previously appeared in Li Qiang’s mind again.

“Is it that person called Pei Xuanxin?” Li Qiang thought of the name Little Huzi had mentioned and asked.

Li Yan didn’t expect her father to already know about Pei Xuanxin, so she asked in surprise, “How did you know?”

“Don’t worry about how I know. If the person you like is Pei Xuanxin, that’s impossible!” Li Qiang said domineeringly, “Do you think I don’t know about Pei Xuanxin? I still know a thing or two about that scholar who goes to town every day to get a prescription and dig up herbs to save his mother! Yan’er, listen to me. He’s a poor scholar. He barely even gets three meals a day. Why do you have to give yourself a hard time?!”

“How do you know that Pei Xuanxin will be poor for the rest of his life?! You don’t know that Pei Xuanxin will become successful soon. At that time, he will be a high-ranking official in the capital that can enter the palace. If I don’t marry him when he’s poor, the position as an official’s wife won’t be mine in the future!” Li Yan said with a cold expression.

As soon as she said this, Li Qiang and w.a.n.g Ying were shocked.

After a while, the couple finally processed Li Yan’s words.

“Daughter, what do you mean?” w.a.n.g Ying asked hesitantly.

At this point, Li Yan had no choice but to tell the truth.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Yan suddenly remembered that Li Xiaoran had said that she could predict the future. Her eyes lit up.

“Father, Mother, do you know why I was unwilling to marry Luo Cheng?” Li Yan said with red eyes.

“Why?” Li Qiang asked.

“That’s because I had a bad dream! I dreamed that after I married Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng didn’t treat me well at all. Later on, someone even chased after Luo Cheng. When Luo Cheng was hiding, he pulled me out as a s.h.i.+eld and I almost lost my life. Later on, Li Xiaoran married Pei Xuanxin, who you looked down on. In the end, in less than two years, Pei Xuanxin became a high-ranking official in the capital. Li Xiaoran became an official’s wife and lived a good life!” Li Yan used the excuse of her dream to explain what had happened in her previous life.

“That’s just a dream. It doesn’t count!” When Li Qiang heard this reason, his expression immediately changed.

“Father, do you think I want to believe it? At first, I couldn’t either, but later on, something happened, so I believed it!” Li Yan said.
