Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 251 Sweetheart

In the past, he had selected many daughters of prominent families for Fan Yanmu, and there was an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage, but Fan Yanmu always rejected them indifferently.

He really put a lot of thought into Fan Yanmu's lifelong affairs.

However, Fan Yanmu always looked indifferent, as if no woman could touch his heart.

Now, a woman could make Fan Yanmu so concerned that he was even willing to travel all the way to Nanchong City. This made Fan Heng very curious and he couldn't help asking, "Mu'er, why didn't you tell your father about such a big thing? What does the girl look like? What's her name? Which family is she from?"

Fan Yanmu actually did not intend to tell his father about Xiao Zhixue's affairs. After all, he was not fully sure of his feelings for her.

Even when they said goodbye, Xiao Zhixue did not show too much attachment. Before he was sure of Xiao Zhixue's true feelings, he did not want to reveal this to Fan Heng casually.

However, at this moment, Ying Er's talkativeness made it impossible to conceal the matter any longer.

Although Fan Yanmu complained in his heart, he still answered seriously: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this matter. I know it well. It won't be too late to tell you when she and I have a deep friendship."

When Fan Heng heard this, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by no need to ask? I am your father. Marriage is always decided by parents and through the matchmaker. How can you decide on your own?"

"If you insist on hiding that person's identity, you won't even have the chance to get contaminated by the dust of Nanchong City!"

Fan Heng's tone was as cold as ice, and his expression was as gloomy as a sky covered with dark clouds, causing the air around them to suddenly freeze.

Fan Yanmu sensed this pressure that could not be underestimated, and knew that if he continued to conceal the truth, not only the gate of Nanchong City, but even the wooden fence of the camp would become insurmountable obstacles, let alone finding Xiao Zhixue, whom he was worried about.

He gently closed his eyes, as if he was struggling with his inner self. Finally, he took a deep breath and said in a low and firm voice: "Her name is Xiao Zhixue, an ordinary villager from Xiahe Village. When I was tracking the whereabouts of Xuan Yutang, fate made us meet unexpectedly. It was a stormy day. She brought her family and hid from the war with the neighbors in Dayang Village. We gradually got to know each other in adversity and gradually fell in love."

Fan Yanmu originally thought that Fan Heng would interfere with this relationship and strongly oppose it like Lu Shihuai did.

However, unexpectedly, Fan Heng's voice became a little louder, revealing a bit of urgency and curiosity: "Who exactly are you talking about? What's her name?"

Fan Yanmu opened his eyes and was surprised to find that Fan Heng's face was full of disbelief. This sudden reaction made him feel confused.

He wondered in confusion why his father had such a big reaction. Apparently, the surprise did not come from Xiao Zhixue's background, but rather from some strange feeling he had about her name itself.

So Fan Yanmu repeated it carefully: "Yes, her name is Xiao Zhixue. Is there any problem with this name?"

While speaking, he tried to capture the subtle clues hidden in Fan Heng's expression.

The image of the brave and tenacious woman among the fleeing crowd that day suddenly flashed through Fan Heng’s mind.

Could it be that Miss Xiao who led everyone like a beacon in troubled times really be the Xiao Zhixue that her son was always thinking about?

In order to find out the truth, Fan Heng's voice was a little hoarse due to his eagerness: "That Miss Xiao has superb medical skills. Although she fought in an unconventional way, she showed admirable bravery?"

From his words, it was obvious that his memory of Xiao Zhixue was deep and vivid.

As Fan Yanmu listened to this description, his heart involuntarily tightened and an indescribable emotion surged in his chest.

"Father, do you know Zhixue?"

The question that came out of his mouth made Fan Heng even more certain that the two were talking about the same person.

Fan Heng slapped his thigh excitedly, his brows filled with irrepressible joy: "Oh, Mu'er, why didn't you tell me earlier! I have always been thinking about Miss Xiao in my heart. I hope to meet her again one day and thank her in person for saving my life."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanmu could not help but stand there in a daze. Even Ying Yi and Ying Er beside him looked at each other in confusion.

They had never heard Fan Heng mention this matter. They originally thought that Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue's encounter was just a brief intersection in life, and after Xiao Zhixue healed Fan Yanmu's injury, they might never see each other again.

Now it seems that the woman that Fan Yanmu is obsessed with is actually Fan Heng's savior. This sudden truth seems like a wonderful fate.

Fan Heng's excitement was beyond words. He patted Fan Yanmu's chest hard a few times. Although there was a hint of blame in his words, his eyes were full of relief.

"You little bastard, you didn't even tell your father that you had a crush on someone, and I'm worried about your marriage."

Although this force made Fan Yanmu feel a little uncomfortable in his chest, he also felt his father's deep love.

His internal strength allowed him to withstand such a beating without getting hurt. Thinking of this, it was no surprise to him that Fan Heng's complexion had improved and he looked full of energy.

The appearance of Xiao Zhixue is undoubtedly a major reason for Fan Heng's recovery.

What surprised Fan Yanmu even more was that Fan Heng not only did not show any dissatisfaction with his love for the peasant girl, but instead blamed him for not telling her about this precious fate sooner.

A warm feeling surged in his heart, and he quickly asked, "So, father supports me to break away from the shackles of the army and go to Nanchong City to find Xiao Zhixue?"

Fan Heng glanced at his son with a playful smile on his face, "Need I say that? Since Miss Xiao is so important, how could I become a stumbling block for you?"

The implication of his words is that he is full of support and fulfillment for his son's happiness.

But you must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and bring the talented Miss Xiao home in person so that I can see her beauty.

Time waits for no one, we must not let other clever guys take the lead and kidnap our sweetheart!"

When Fan Yanmu heard this, it was as if brilliant fireworks were blooming in his heart. He could hardly suppress his joy. The corners of his mouth naturally rose, forming a bright arc.

There was a gleam of impatience in his eyes, and his mind had already flown to the distant and mysterious Nanchong City.

Fan Heng keenly captured the desire and urgency in his son's eyes. As a father, he naturally did not want to become a shackle that bound his son's steps.

"If Nanchong City is your dream, go ahead. I won't be a stumbling block for you."

His words were full of understanding and tolerance, like warm sunshine, dispelling the last trace of hesitation in Fan Yanmu's heart.

Fan Yanmu shook off his previous gloom and became full of energy. He immediately ordered his personal guards Ying Yi and Ying Er to pack their bags.
