Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
That night, information about the femme fatale appeared in front of Li Xiaoran. đđŻđ˘đ˘đ´đđđŤđđđđ.đ đŹđŞ
Li Xiaoran looked at the information one by one with amusement in her eyes.
âNo wonder she asked me to ask around about her first. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be so frightened that they wouldnât want to see her again!â
Luo Cheng had just finished dealing with the matter at hand. When he heard Li Xiaoranâs words, he recalled the information he had seen previously and raised his eyebrows.
âIt seems that you still havenât changed your mind?â
âWhy should I change my mind? I like women like Meng Yan! This is what a person should be like, especially a woman!â Li Xiaoran tilted her head as she looked at Luo Cheng and said, âSheâs self-reliant and doesnât rely on her family. She can do whatever she wants. If others want to control her, theyâll be controlled by her instead. She doesnât have to be a noble. Sheâs a noble herself.
Her fate is in her own hands! How good is that?!â
Luo Cheng nodded. He agreed with Li Xiaoranâs opinion.
âTo be honest, with Meng Yanâs personality, sheâs indeed an oddball in the capital. Sheâs out of place with the people around her! However, if you really want to become friends with her, sheâs the most reliable person. Itâs just that such a person wonât become friends with others that easily. She seems easygoing, but sheâs actually very guarded. Only after you truly obtain her approval will you have a friend worthy of entrusting your life to!â
Li Xiaoran didnât expect Luo Cheng to say such a thing, so she asked in surprise, âYou have a very high opinion of Meng Yan! In that case, you donât object to me becoming friends with Meng Yan? I wonder if I might cause you trouble.â
Luo Cheng shook his head with a smile. âDonât worry about this. Do whatever you want! I told you, you donât have to worry about me. Iâll support you no matter what you do!â
With Luo Chengâs permission, Li Xiaoran was naturally relieved.
To be honest, she didnât know much about Meng Yan. She just felt that she was a kind person worth befriending.
However, after reading about Meng Yan, she liked Meng Yan even more.
Mene Yan was carefree and caDable.
Befriending such a person was very beneficial to her!
The next day, when Meng Yan happened to walk out of a textile shop, she saw Li Xiaoran standing at the side.
Looking at Li Xiaoran, who was standing beside her with a smile, Meng Yan raised her eyebrows.
âWhat? You still dare to look for me?â
âWhy wouldnât I dare to? Do you eat people, or do you plan to take advantage of me?â Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked.
âArenât you afraid that Iâll ruin your reputation as the Seventh Princeâs consort?â Meng Yan asked.
âMe? What reputation do I have?â When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately pointed at herself with a smile. âIâm a country bumpkin. I was lucky enough to marry the Seventh Prince and go from rags to riches overnight. My reputation has been ruined long ago!â
Meng Yan couldnât help but laugh at Li Xiaoranâs self-deprecation. âYou know your reputation very well!â
âThatâs right! I know myself very well. I wonder if youâre willing to befriend a country girl with an interesting soul like me without regard for my family background?â Li Xiaoran asked with a smile.
When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoranâs words, she laughed.
âIf you donât despise my reputation, why would I despise your background?
Letâs go. I plan to try new dishes in a restaurant. Why donât we go together?â
âAlright!â Li Xiaoran nodded in agreement.
âThen get into my carriage!â Meng Yan said.
Li Xiaoran froze for a moment before nodding and walking straight towards Meng Yanâs carriage.
After Zi Cheng, who had been following Li Xiaoran, heard this, he quickly got into the carriage and planned to follow Meng Yanâs carriage.
After all, he was Li Xiaoranâs guard now, so he naturally couldnât be too far away from her.
After getting into the carriage, Li Xiaoran realized that there was actually something strange about this carriage.
It looked inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside was very comfy.
âThis carriage feels comfy. Did you ask someone to modify it? I actually donât feel any bumpiness at all!â Li Xiaoran sized it up as she said.
When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoranâs words, she said in surprise, âYou donât look like a girl from the countryside at all! No wonder the Seventh Prince married you. It seems that you have some unique qualities. Itâs just that the others donât realize your strengths! â
âWhy should others see my strengths? Itâs fine as long as the people I care about see my strengths! Iâm already at the center of attention, so itâs better to keep a low profile!â Li Xiaoran chuckled and said.
When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoranâs words, her eyes widened and she had a new understanding of Li Xiaoran.
âYouâre really wise! Many people donât realize this! However, youâre quite impressive. You kicked out Prime Minister Yanâs beloved granddaughter, Yan Xiaoqiao, just like that!â
âThis person has already bullied me right to my face, so why do I have to worry so much? At this moment, I can do whatever I want! Besides, this matter isnât over yet! I have to make Yan Xiaoqiao give up on my man!â Li Xiaoran said fiercely.
When Meng Yan saw Li Xiaoranâs fierce expression and heard her words, her eyes lit up.
âNot bad. As a woman, you should be like this! So-called virtuosity is all bullsh*t!â
âNo, no, no. We should be virtuous women, but the standards of virtuous women being promoted in this society have been secretly changed by men. Truly virtuous women are actually completely different from the current ones!â Li Xiaoran expressed her opinion.
âPlease elaborate!â This was the first time Meng Yan had heard of such a novel concept, so she was immediately interested.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she said, âA virtuous woman doesnât despise the man she chooses when heâs insignificant. Instead, she encourages him, helps him, and promotes his ambition. When her man becomes too arrogant, she humbles him and prevents him from being controlled by his greed. When her man is in danger, she helps him resolve the crisis. When her man is misunderstood, she trusts him and understands him! â
âWhat if the Seventh Prince takes in a concubine in the future? Donât tell me heâll be faithful to you for the rest of his life. Do you even believe it yourself?â Meng Yan asked.
âWhy not? There are faithful people in this world, so Iâm willing to believe him. But believing them is one thing, and reality is another! Iâm already prepared for the worst.â Li Xiaoran smiled and said..
