Chapter 106

106 The Arrogant Li Xiaoran

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was not angry but laughed.

“Young Master Luo has probably never liked any woman before!”

Luo Han thought that Li Xiaoran would fly into a rage, but he did not expect her to say such a thing.

!!

“What does this have to do with me having a woman I like or not?” Luo Han asked, puzzled.

“Because if you really like someone, you won’t care about their identity, family background, or whether they’re better than others. You only like her because she’s her! The one and only her!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

At this point, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and said softly, “I don’t know why my husband chose me, but Young Master Luo’s evaluation of me is unfair. What right does Young Master Luo have to say that I have no redeeming qualities? What right do you have to underestimate me?”

At this point, Li Xiaoran stood up and looked out at the courtyard that was already in late autumn. Then, she turned around and looked over.

“I, Li Xiaoran, am not a talented girl from a wealthy family, nor do I have the good looks of those charming women, but I have a brain that doesn’t lose to a man’s and a desire to improve. However, I’m indeed a farmer’s daughter. I’m less privileged than many people and have many shortcomings in all aspects! But so what? As the saying goes, every dog has its day. In thirty years, Young Master Luo might not be as good as me!”

Faced with Li Xiaoran’s arrogant words, Luo Han was shocked.

A mere countryside woman actually dared to say that he would be inferior to her in thirty years.

“I really don’t know where you get the courage to say such things to me!” Luo Han was really infuriated.

Just as Luo Han was about to say something else, Luo Cheng spoke.

“Luo Han! Watch your manners!”

Luo Cheng’s words calmed Luo Han down.

That was right. He was a man. Why was he being petty with a woman?

What Luo Han did not know was that fortunately, Luo Cheng had stopped him. Otherwise, he would really get a reality twenty check years later.

“Forget it. I won’t argue with a woman like you!” Luo Han said and went straight to eat the buns.

Seeing Luo Han like this, Li Xiaoran thought of something and immediately smiled.

“I think Young Master Luo seems very unconvinced! Why don’t we compete?!” Li Xiaoran sat down with a smile and issued a challenge.

When Luo Han heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately agreed.

“Let’s compete then! Tell me, compete on what?”

Li Xiaoran pondered carefully when she heard Luo Han’s words.

“Let’s compete on the case in front of us!”

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

However, he looked at Luo Han and then at Li Xiaoran and said nothing.

“I’m not bragging, but I’ve been a county magistrate for several years. I’ve always been investigating cases. If we really compete, I’m afraid it won’t be fair!” Luo Han thought for a moment and said that he had the advantage over her.

Li Xiaoran did not think much of it and only smiled.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind! Besides, you might not win!”

The competitive desire in Luo Han’s bones surged when he was belittled by a countrywoman.

“Alright, you said it! Let’s compete! If you lose, don’t appear in front of me from now on. If I lose, I won’t appear in front of you again!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she shook her head.

“Why? Are you regretting it now?” Luo Han stared at Li Xiaoran, wanting to anger her.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “If I lose, I won’t appear in front of you or participate in anything you do! If I win, call me sir every time you see me in the future and promise me three things! How about that? Do you agree?”

“Alright, it’s a deal!” Luo Han agreed.

“Alright, then let’s set the time limit at three days! In three days, whoever can find the mastermind behind these people will win!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Three days?” Luo Han asked hesitantly when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“Why? Are you not confident in yourself?” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked Luo Han.

“Three days it is!” Luo Han agreed immediately.

Luo Cheng did not interfere from the beginning until the decision was made.

Seeing that the matter was settled, he looked at Li Xiaoran.

“It’s settled. Then enjoy the buns! If you don’t eat the buns, they’ll turn cold. Wouldn’t you be letting down my kind intentions?!”

Li Xiaoran smiled at Luo Cheng and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Luo Han also started eating with his chopsticks, but he was stopped by Luo Cheng.

“These buns are for my wife. Young Master Luo, you should find something to eat yourself!” Luo Cheng looked at Luo Han and said.

“Hmph, I’ll look for food myself! I’m not willing to eat it anyway!” With that, Luo Han put down his chopsticks and left angrily.

“Husband, why are you doing this?! It’s just a few buns!” Li Xiaoran said as she ate.

“Hmph, he really thinks that he can criticize my woman just because he’s my buddy! I warned him before, but he didn’t listen! Wife, you have to defeat him this time and knock him down a peg!” Luo Cheng said angrily.

When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she was immediately amused.

“I thought you were on your buddy’s side!”

“We are buddies, but he went too far this time. It’s time to teach him a lesson!” Luo Cheng said aloofly.

“Husband, are you that confident in me? Are you so sure that I can find the murderer behind the scenes before Luo Han?” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked.

“Of course. My wife is extraordinary! Defeat Luo Han! He underestimated my wife so he deserves it!” Luo Cheng said.

“Actually, I’m not even that confident in myself!” Li Xiaoran said and took a sip of porridge.

“With your intelligence, I believe you will be able to find out soon!” Luo Cheng still thought highly of Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran stopped talking and focused on eating breakfast.

Actually, Li Xiaoran had long expected Luo Han’s contempt.

If it were anyone else, Li Xiaoran would have ignored them.

Whether she was powerful or not, it had nothing to do with anyone else.

However, if this person was Luo Han, Li Xiaoran had to take him seriously.

After all, Luo Han and Luo Cheng had an extraordinary relationship. She had to consider it.

Her relationship with Luo Cheng was not about love. It was a little like the workplace relationshipa in modern society.

Luo Cheng was like the general manager of the company, and Luo Han could be considered the deputy manager.

She was like Luo Cheng’s secretary.

If she wanted to do this job well, the first thing she had to do was get the approval of the people around Luo Cheng.

Luo Han’s approval was very important!
