Chapter 498: Coming For You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After watching the men and women walk forward, Li Xiaoran watched everything in front of her with interest.
This so-called Flower Banquet was so similar to the large-scale blind dates she had seen in the modern world!
However, these people were from ancient times, so they expressed their feelings very reservedly, unlike modern people, who would directly ask if they had a house, money, and a car.
However, there were still some bold people. There was a woman in the crowd who ran towards a man and pounced on him.
Wait, why did that woman’s clothes look so familiar? Suddenly, Li Xiaoran thought of something.
“Meng Yan! That person is Meng Yan!”
Shu Ruyue saw her too, so when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she widened her eyes and watched carefully.
“Hahaha, it’s really her! Why is she so bold? But I like her personality! In the future, if I meet a man I like, I’ll take the initiative to pounce on him too!” Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Shu Ruyue.
“Then you have to take it easy! After all, with your strength, weak men really won’t be able to take it.”
The two of them forgot that there was an unmarried woman beside them.
When Duan Sha heard their words, she immediately blushed.
When Li Xiaoran looked over and noticed that Duan Sha’s earlobe had turned red, she laughed.
“Miss Duan, what about you? Do you have someone you like?”
When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she smiled bitterly.
“With my ill health, how can I dare to marry anyone?! It’s already good enough if I can survive. I won’t ask for anything else!”
Li Xiaoran thought that if Duan Sha had heart problems, it was indeed better not to start any romantic relationships.
After all, if she became too emotional, she would experience flare ups even more often.
A romantic relationship might worsen her condition, so it was a good thing that she had no desires.
However, it was impossible for Li Xiaoran to say this, so she could only say, “It’s fine. After you receive the reward from the heavens in the future, you might be able to think about it!”
Duan Sha nodded and continued to watch.
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran didn’t understand.
This girl clearly knew that she wasn’t in good health, so why did she come to this banquet?
“Do you have someone in your heart? Otherwise, why would you come here alone?” Li Xiaoran asked again.
Duan Sha laughed when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“I came with my brother! He’s already old enough to get married. As for why I came, it’s actually because of you!”
“Me?” Li Xiaoran was very surprised, since she didn’t expect Duan Sha to say this.
“Don’t tell me you like my husband too?” Li Xiaoran asked directly.
As soon as she said this, Shu Ruyue, who was eating fruits, almost choked on the fruits.
Fortunately, the fruit wasn’t very big. After Shu Ruyue coughed hard, she spat out the fruit.
“Oh my god, Li Xiaoran, can you be more careful when you speak? You’ll scare people!” Shu Ruyue muttered.
“I’m telling the truth!” Li Xiaoran looked at Duan Sha as she said warily, “Miss Duan, although I saved you, don’t try to snatch my man! Or else I’ll fall out with you!”
When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she recovered from her shock and smiled.
“The reason I’m interested in you isn’t because of the Seventh Prince, but because I’m very interested in you yourself!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her expression immediately became strange. “You don’t like women, do you? I like men!”
As soon as she said this, Shu Ruyue was glad that she hadn’t eaten again. Otherwise, she would have chocked on the food again.
Duan Sha also laughed.
As she laughed, Duan Sha realized something.
She had never laughed so heartily in her life.
“I was just teasing you guys!” Seeing this, Li Xiaoran explained, “Actually, there are many people in the capital who are interested in me! Most people are curious about how I got close to the Seventh prince! Therefore, it’s not a big
When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she shook her head.
“Perhaps others think that you’re the one who’s clinging to the Seventh Prince, but I don’t think so! If the Seventh Prince is really someone that any woman can cling to, so many young ladies in the capital who wanted to marry him back then wouldn’t have failed. To be able to win the Seventh Prince’s heart, marry him, and make him bring you back means that you’re an outstanding person. Besides, even the emperor and the Eldest Princess treat you so well, so your excellence goes without saying. I’m naturally curious!” When Li Xiaoran heard Duan Sha’s praise, she immediately smiled.
“Little girl, you have good taste! Don’t worry, the heavens will definitely reward you!”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was overjoyed.
“I can tell! You two are a perfect match! The two of you keep flattering each other!”
Li Xiaoran smiled happily and sat on a stool to look at the crowd not far away.
Li Xiaoran saw something and suddenly said, “Look, look, the girl in emerald green must have taken a fancy to the man in dark blue clothes not far from her. It’s just that the little girl is timid and doesn’t dare to go forward to say it!”
Shu Ruyue and Duan Sha looked up.
Duan Sha frowned when she saw the man clearly.
Because the man in the dark blue shirt was none other than her second brother, who had come to visit today.
Others might not know, but Duan Sha knew very well that the girl her second brother came to see today wasn’t the girl in the emerald green dress.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. To be honest, if I were that man in dark blue clothes, I would definitely stay away from the girl in emerald green clothes. This little girl is so scheming at such a young age and she looks like she has ill intentions!
Whoever marries such a girl will have trouble at home!” Li Xiaoran suddenly said.
When Duan Sha heard this, her expression changed.
“I know this girl. She’s Nie Xue, the cousin of the daughter of the Minister of
Rites, Chen Run. I heard that this girl is proficient in the four arts. She has even surpassed the girls from the Chen family! ”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.
No wonder. No wonder she sensed arrogance from that girl. It seemed that her guess was right..
