Fortunate Wife Chapter 57

Chapter 57 – Mudan

Seeing her looking annoyed, Li Yan chuckled . He stuffed the corn pancake into her hand, then he patted Little Five’s head and said with a smile, “Let’s go . ”

“Oh . ” Little Five glanced at Li Man . “Older sister, let’s go look for oldest brother . ”

“En . ” She followed behind them while munching on the corn pancakes .

Right after the three of them left their home, a pleasant female voice called out, “Older brother Li Yan . ”

When Li Man turned her head, she saw a girl standing right outside of Li family’s home .

This girl was quite attractive . She had an oval-shaped face, slender eyebrows, limpid eyes, and small lips . There was even a bashful expression on her face .

“Older sister Mudan?” Little Five affectionately called out .

Mudan let out a short, “oh . ” Her large limpid eyes were still focused on Li Yan . She quietly called out again, “Older brother Li Yan . ”

Li Yan glanced at her . The smile in his eyes gradually retreated . He said to Li Man and Little Five, “Head over to the entrance of the village and wait for me there . I’ll be over there shortly . ”

“Okay . ” Little Five held Li Man’s hand and said, “Older sister, let’s leave here first . ”

Li Man understandingly nodded . Before leaving, she looked at Mudan again . This girl looked to be around fifteen to sixteen years old . She looked to be on much better terms with this family compared to the previous girls . From the expression on Mudan’s face, Li Man could tell that she was definitely interested in Li Yan .

Li Yan waited until those two had walked far away before approaching Mudan . Looking down at her, he asked, “Is there a problem?”

Hearing his cold and indifferent tone, Mudan felt her eyes becoming wet . “Older brother Li Yan, you’ve been working at my home for the past few days . Why didn’t you come looking for me during that time?”

“I don’t have any business with you . Why would I look for you?” Li Yan indifferently looked at her . Seeing that her long eyelashes were trembling as if she was about to cry soon, he lightly sighed and said, “If there’s something you want to say, just say it . If not, I’m leaving . I’m busy . ”

“Older brother Li Yan . ” Mudan raised her head . A dense mist of unshed tears were already in her eyes . “I know it’s my family that’s at fault, but I wasn’t the one that agreed to that marriage . You should know, since we were children, the only person I liked is -“

“Enough . ” Li Yan impatiently interrupted her . He stopped looking at her and turned around . Seeing that Li Man and Little Five were almost the village’s entrance, he said, “Since it’s nothing important, I’m leaving . ”

“Older brother Li Yan . ” Anxious, Mudan grabbed Li Yan’s arm . Her voice was choked with emotion as she asked, “Do you really not care? Can you really just stand to the side and watch as I marry someone else?”

Li Yan removed her hand . Her almost crying face looked quite pitiful and lovely, and a gloomy feeling gushed up in heart . He frankly said, “Mudan, how many times do you want me to repeat myself? I’ve never liked you . If you don’t want to marry that person, just tell your dad and mom . ”

“No, I don’t believe you . Older brother Li Yan, I know you’re just saying these words out of anger . ” Mudan’s eyes were wide with incredulity . Bean-sized tears finally rolled down from the corners of her eyes .

Li Yan’s brow was furrowed as he glanced at her again . He restrained his temper and told her, “Mudan, I’m telling the truth . I’ve always thought of you as my younger sister -“

“No . ” Mudan suddenly shouted at him . Indignation and unwillingness flickered through her eyes as she cried .

Li Yan suddenly realized there was no way to talk sense into her . Otherwise, why hadn’t she understood him after so many previous attempts? “I’ve already said everything that I can say . It’s up to you if you want to believe me or not . ”

After coldly saying these words, Li Yan didn’t want to continue getting tangled up in this conversation . He simply turned around and left .
