Chapter 1460 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
Shi Li saw the horror on Luo Qingyan's face at a glance, and chuckled.
"Don't worry, I know you are here to help me out, I won't kick you."
"Then you won't let me stand till the end..."
Luo Qingyan lowered his head and muttered something in a low voice. Shi Li didn't hear it clearly. "What did you say?"
"nothing much."
Luo Qingyan kicked a stone on the side of the road, feeling that it was particularly in the way, and his gloomy mood was evident in his words, "Are you in a hurry to get married? Why are you holding such an unreliable martial arts competition to find a husband?"
Shi Li: ...
Sure enough, this person is most likable when he is mute! As soon as he opens his mouth, she wants to hit him, and he even tells her to her face that she hates to get married!
But ignorance is not blame. It doesn’t seem to be Luo Qingyan’s fault that she doesn’t understand the sorrow of being a woman in this era.
Shi Li closed her eyes, a ray of twilight stained her eyelashes, and in a few words she explained how she was bullied by her peers.
It was Luo Qingyan's turn to remain silent.
It seemed like he had heard of such a thing for the first time. His face was full of surprise. He took a long time to organize his words, and finally said dryly: "This way... there is always a way to solve it. You don't have to pay for it yourself."
"I know, so holding a martial arts competition to win a bride is just a formality." Shi Li said that she knew very well that she did not have the strength to completely change everything now, and in the end she could only think of a compromise.
For example... find someone who is easy to control, pretend to marry him, and then let this person be a puppet of the Wenchang Escort Agency. Such a person is not easy to find, and you have to be on guard against him turning against you at any time.
So this matter cannot be rushed and needs to be considered carefully.
Shi Li was thinking about how to deal with the situation in his mind, and didn't notice that he had walked across a street and stopped to say goodbye to Luo Qingyan.
I don’t know what he was thinking. He was stunned for a while before he reacted, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Xun Xi was sitting in the inn waiting for Luo Qingyan to come back.
After seeing him, she asked gently and pointedly, "Sir, are the boxes and baskets you brought this time not betrothal gifts?"
"Yes... yes." Luo Qingyan straightened his back and answered without hesitation.
"So why did you jump off the arena, sir?" Xun Xi had been a bachelor for half his life and was very good at understanding people's hearts and nature, but he could not guess Luo Qingyan's girlish thoughts.
Luo Qingyan did not feel guilty at all and answered honestly: "She doesn't want to marry the man standing on the stage, why should I force her?"
Xun Xi was speechless and looked at him for a long time without saying anything to refute.
Under the brilliant background of Luo Qingyan, he seemed to have become that despicable villain who had no martial ethics?
Before he could recover from the collapse of his own image, Xun Xi heard the next sentence that shocked him even more.
"What do you think, if I go to the Wenchang Escort Agency to marry into the family?"
Xun Xi:!!!
Luo Qingyan has always lacked emotional intelligence rather than IQ. When Shi Li told him the truth about the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, he immediately thought of Shi Li's solution.
I was thinking about the possibility of marrying into Xun Xi's family on the way just now. When I came back and saw Xun Xi, I naturally couldn't help but tell him about it.
But looking at Xun Xi's expression, it seemed that he was reluctant to accept or agree.
"I think, sir, you'd better ask the owner of the manor first." Xun Xi twitched his mouth, not knowing how to persuade him, so he could only ask for help.
"Of course I'll tell my dad."
Luo Qingyan didn't intend to hide it. He laughed and went back to his room to write a letter to his father, not caring at all that his father had just been detoxified and was currently weak.
Xun Xi looked at Luo Qingyan's back in silence.
"I didn't realize before that you are such a lovesick person..."
Shi Li never expected that in this dynasty, there would be people vying to be a son-in-law.
Of course, she didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't know that Luo Qingyan had such thoughts. But as soon as she returned to Wenchang Escort Agency, she saw Shi Buhuo talking to a person with a very familiar back.
When I walked up to him, I saw that the person was actually Yi Can.
Even though something like that had happened before, when Yi Can saw Shi Li again, he acted as if nothing had happened and greeted her with a smile.
With such good psychological quality, Shi Li felt inferior to him and only glanced at Shi Buhuo.
Receiving his daughter's gaze, Shi Buhuo quickly asked the servant to see the guest off. Yi Can did not force her to stay and followed the servant out.
When he reached Shi Li, he paused and said meaningfully, "Junior sister, we have a long way to go."
Shi Li got goose bumps all over her body.
After he left, he couldn't wait to ask Shi Buhuo why he was here.
"He knows what the people in other escort agencies are like, so he volunteered himself."
Shi Buhuo sighed softly and looked at Shi Li with shame.
