Zhang Xiaoshan, who was admiring the legs, was startled awake and answered Jia Lanhua with a timid voice.
"What? I wasn’t looking at anything, I was just thinking about sothing."
As he spoke, he also lifted his head to look at Jia Lanhua and happened to catch the slight, almost imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth. His heart trembled involuntarily; this woman was truly fatal. But what did her attitude imply? Was she flirting with ? Hinting at ?
And there were those previous encounters, where Jia Lanhua’s attitude towards him seed to have a bit of a push-and-pull quality.
Could it be that she...
The thought crossed Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind, and his heart imdiately felt as if it were being tickled by a cat, a strong itching sensation.
At this mont, Jia Lanhua sat down right next to Zhang Xiaoshan, turned towards him with a smile, and asked,"
"Little Shan, your aunt wants to know, are you and Luo ili involved with each other?"
"Ah?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback. Had his relationship with Luo ili really beco common knowledge?
But on second thought, other than being caught once by the widow Su Xiangi, there definitely was no concrete evidence. Everyone was just conjecturing wildly.
So he flatly denied it, saying,
"That’s not true at all, Sister Lanhua. What are you talking about? Although I am not so paragon of virtue, I would never do such a thing that defies public morals."
Zhang Xiaoshan was emphatic, speaking without a hint of embarrassnt.
Watching his righteous indignation, Jia Lanhua actually believed him.
"Hehehe."
She let out a bell-like laugh and said to Zhang Xiaoshan coquettishly,
"I’m just teasing you, look at how serious you get."
"But, I am really curious, why do you help Luo ili that much? Do you have a crush on her?"
Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately explained,
"It’s just that I see her struggling by herself, and besides, when I was in college and had no money, she supported . Now that she’s in a tough spot, if I don’t help her within my power, am I still human?"
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke with such fervor that he almost moved himself.
But Jia Lanhua didn’t doubt his sincerity at all, and her fondness for Zhang Xiaoshan unwittingly grew.
Being handso was one thing, but to have such a good character, too—how could any woman not love a man like that?
This was unbearable!
Feeling Jia Lanhua’s greedy gaze, Zhang Xiaoshan felt goosebumps on his skin, as if he were like a courtesan being ogled by a man.
Especially, he couldn’t stand the seductive air that wafted from Jia Lanhua’s peachy eyes. Her gaze seed like an endless black hole, intent on swallowing Zhang Xiaoshan’s soul, and deep inside, he could even hear an inviting whisper, "Co to , co on, be bold and co."
He couldn’t help shifting his butt, maintaining a distance from Jia Lanhua.
He feared he couldn’t control himself and might end up taking care of Jia Lanhua right there on the sofa.
Her noticing his evasive action made Jia Lanhua even more interested.
People hardly retain freshness for things that are easily obtained but instead maintain a lasting pursuit for things harder to reach.
"So then, let ask you, between and Luo ili, who do you think is prettier?" Jia Lanhua asked Zhang Xiaoshan unrelentingly, her eyes narrowed.
Such a question didn’t really require thought.
From a practical standpoint, Jia Lanhua was slender and tall, while Luo ili was slightly more voluptuous. Luo ili gave off an energetic and charming vibe, while Jia Lanhua was seen as unapproachable and even a bit fiery.
Both of them had their strengths; it was hard to differentiate.
But at this mont, Zhang Xiaoshan definitely wasn’t foolish enough to praise Luo ili.
"Sister ili, in my eyes, you are the number one beauty of White Dragon Village; no one else can even compare to you."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Jia Lanhua imdiately showed signs of joy.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
"Of course, it couldn’t be truer, but it’s just a sha. You’re so young and beautiful, but to be with the village chief, such an old codger, it really is hard on you."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan even feigned a sigh of pity.
His deanor seed so genuine and sympathetic that it imdiately resonated with Jia Lanhua, who grumbled with an itch in her teeth,
"Back when the troupe suddenly disbanded, I had nowhere to go. Wu Damming, that old bastard, deceived with sweet talk. I was too young then, naïve, and fell for his tricks. If I could choose again, even if I starved, I wouldn’t be with him."
"Little Shan, your heart is so kind, if you can help Luo ili, you can also help escape from this misery, right?"
Jia Lanhua’s words were full of endless implications, especially as she gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan with eyes brimming with eager appeal.
Zhang Xiaoshan was struck as if by lightning.
His interest was piqued.
His heartbeat accelerated, his throat parched.
His desire to conquer Jia Lanhua was so intense.
However, Wu Damming was just outside the courtyard talking to soone.
If Wu Damming discovered anything, Zhang Xiaoshan would no longer have a foothold in White Dragon Village, and even the ashes of his ancestors would be dug up by Wu Damming.
"Sister Lanhua, I just rembered there’s sothing in the infirmary, I should go now."
Zhang Xiaoshan made an excuse to leave.
But just as he stood up, Jia Lanhua grabbed his hand. She had finally caught such an opportunity and was absolutely unwilling to let Zhang Xiaoshan leave like this.
"Sister Lanhua, what are you doing? Let go quickly, it’ll be troubleso if the village chief sees us."
Zhang Xiaoshan peered anxiously outside the window, sowhat perturbed,
but Jia Lanhua was grinning as she said,
"Little Shan, tell , you were the one who sneakily ca in and watched bathe that morning, weren’t you?
