Saving The Tragic Male Lead

Women have gold under their knees, Xiao Yan suddenly thought about the old saying of this world.

“It’s all up to you.” 

She didn’t even have golden fingers that could help her here, so could she still care about the gold under her knees??

Seeing Xiao Yan promise so neatly, A’Li was stunned for a moment. 

He suspiciously glanced at Xiao Yan, afraid that she might not be able to clearly read the words on the paper, so he stretched out his arms and handed the paper again to her. 

As if to say – Open your eyes and take a closer look.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yan heartily laughed. She pretended to be serious, “As long as it is your request, I will definitely agree.”

Hearing it, A’Li pursed his lips, feeling a little sullen in his heart, as if the jar of his anger had suddenly been smashed on the ground before he could even vent his anger.

It made him feel extremely unhappy.

He crumpled the paper into a ball and tightly held it in his hand.

Xiao Yan was sitting in the room, after hearing that A’Li had agreed to marry her, she opened the door and prepared to go out. 

A’Li looked at the back of her head, and his heart felt heavy and blocked. The hatred almost flowed out of his dark eyes. 

His eyes swept across the desk, and for a moment his gaze suspiciously paused on the inkstone that was about the size of an adult’s palm.

A’Li gritted his teeth and stuffed a quail egg-sized pebble into the paper ball in his palm, and threw it toward Xiao Yan.

The sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and Xiao Yan felt cold on the back of her head. She instinctively tilted her head and quickly grabbed the thing back. 

The paper wrapped around the pebble was heavy, and she not only failed to grasp it but also smashed her fingertips, causing her to “hiss” in pain.

The stuffy feeling from before was now smoothed out. The “hiss” sound made A’Li’s heart feel a little more comfortable.

Seeing Xiao Yan deflated, A Li’s eyes gleamed. Although he was still unhappy in his heart, he finally vented his bad breath.

The fingertips hit by the small stone felt numb and painful. 

Xiao Yan twisted gently her fingers and looked at the paper ball on the ground.

Seeing the pebble inside, she became silent for a moment. If the paper wasn’t too small, she suspected that A’Li would have wrapped the inkstone in it and smashed it onto her.

As expected of the male protagonist who would be blackened later had a cruel heart.

Xiao Yan strode out as if her tail was caught by the door. Before leaving she quickly bent down and picked up the paper ball with pebbles.

Mother Li was sitting on the steps of the pavilion, facing A’Li’s room door. 

Seeing Xiao Yan coming out, she waved to her with a smile, “Did you make it clear?”

“A’Li looks cold, but in fact, he is very good. He looked colder on the outside and gentler on the inside. He’s used to pretending to be strong, and he doesn’t know how to show his soft heart.”

What is gentle on the inside? Pretended to be strong?? Soft heart??

Xiao Yan rubbed the pebble in her hand when she heard such words describing the male protagonist. 

Although she had just come here, in the past few hours she felt that everything but these words could describe the male lead.

How could Mother Li know what had Xiao Yan met inside the room? 

Mother Li signed and added, “I hurt him.”

Xiao Yan looked at Mother Li, whose eyes and lips were already wrinkled in tension. 

Xiao Yan’s heart slowly calmed down. She was inexplicably nervous when she thought about what to say.

Xiao Yan clenched her fingers, and firmly said, “Auntie, I want to marry A’Li, and I won’t let him down in the future. Your mother and son will not suffer again.”

“Well, I know your mother asked your sister…who, who do you want to marry??” 

The herbal medicine in Mother Li’s hand fell to the ground. 

It was not that Mother Xiao didn’t mention A’Li’s marriage to her before, but she was talking about Xiao Shu. 

Why did the marriage partner suddenly become the eldest daughter?

“Me.” Xiao Yan said, “I will marry.”

Hearing it, Mother Li’s expression changed. 

Looking at Xiao Yan who was sitting beside her on the steps, her lips opened and closed, and finally able to dryly say, “This is…It’s all up to A’Li.”

Mother Li only had this precious son, and she wanted to choose the best wife and master for him. 

As for Xiao Yan, she had a long way to go before the word “best wife and master” would be used to describe her.

As an elder, Mother Li could not directly refuse her. She could only tell Xiao Yan in a tactful and roundabout way.

Based on what Mother Li knew about A’Li, he would definitely not agree to marry her.

Xiao Yan smiled, “A’Li had agreed.”

“??!” 

Hearing it, Mother Li took a breath, and her voice changed, “He agreed?”

Xiao Yan nodded, “He said that I will have to come over tomorrow to ask for the marriage.”

“…This…this… “

Mother Li couldn’t figure out what A’Li was thinking. Since her son had agreed, it would be meaningless for her to sit here and refuse Xiao Yan.

After speaking, Xiao Yan stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes, bowed her hands to Mother Li Mu who was looking up at her, and said, “Auntie, then I’ll come over tomorrow.”

Mother Li thought, “It’s ok if you don’t come…”
