Chapter 144: "Like"

There was two knocks on the door of the private room, and Xiao Er sent a few dishes.

After putting them on the table one by one, Xiao Er asked again: "Two girls, do you need drinks?" ”

"What good wine do you have right now?"

As soon as Qin Ran's words fell, Li Jing'er frowned speechlessly, and waved her hand at Xiao Er first: "No need, you can go down." ”

Qin Ran was stunned: "It's rare to invite you to dinner, and I didn't let you pay for it, don't you really want to have some wine?" ”

"How can you still drink when your feet are injured like this." Li Jing'er raised her chin slightly, glanced at her legs modestly, and said, "Besides, what kind of wine do you drink in broad daylight?" ”

"Okay, then let's not drink, let's talk about business." Qin Ran picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of braised pork in Li Jing'er's bowl, and asked, "I heard that Lord Xiangguo is going to hold a martial arts competition for you, is it true?" ”

"You got it?" Even if Qin Ran didn't ask about this matter, Li Jing'er originally planned to tell her.

Qin Ran raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly: "Well, I didn't find you yesterday, but then I met Meng Yu, she told me." ”

"Oh." Li Jing'er's eyes slowly fell, and she picked up the braised pork with chopsticks in her hand, but she didn't put it in her mouth for a long time.

After a while, she put the chopsticks back on the plate and said slowly: "My father decided to hide it from me, and I didn't know about it until yesterday when I accompanied my mother to the temple to offer incense." I was thinking of telling you about it later, but I didn't expect you to ask first. ”

Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, as Qin Ran guessed, Li Jing'er herself didn't know about recruiting relatives in martial arts, no wonder she didn't even reveal the slightest bit of news in Yanwang's Mansion that day.

"Do you agree?" Qin Ran looked at her expression, and was faintly worried in his heart, "I heard that as long as you sign up, you can participate in the competition, and if you win the competition, you can marry you, isn't it a bit unreliable?" ”

After all, Li Jing'er is a famous talented woman in the capital, and she chooses her husband by martial arts, so wouldn't it be a pity if she chooses an illiterate martial artist?

Li Jing'er raised her eyebrows, and some doubts appeared on her face: "Oh? So tell me, what's unreliable? ”

"How reliable, aren't you afraid of the person who wins the competition in the end, don't you like it?" Qin Ran felt like he was going to break his heart.

Li Jing'er smiled lightly: "That's right, but my father has made it public, what else can I do if I can't do it?" ”

She is the daughter of Xiangguo, and her two older brothers have already started a family. It stands to reason that there is only one daughter like her left in the family, and she should be very precious, why is Lord Xiangguo so unthinkable, what kind of martial arts competition for her to recruit relatives?

Qin Ran was puzzled: "You are your father's daughter, if you don't want to, he can't force you to marry someone you don't like, right?" ”

Li Jing'er's composure just now seemed to be just a disguise, when the word "like" was mentioned, there was finally a noticeable color change on her pale face, there seemed to be something faintly floating in her eyes, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes, just staring at the table of food in front of her.

Qin Ran felt that she should have listened and asked, "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

"Nope." Li Jing'er sighed: "Qin Ran, I know you are worried about me, but I can understand my father's difficulties, and now that I am too old, I will not find a lover to marry, they are worried that I will be gossiped about." ”

"What's there to gossip about?" Qin Ran was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
