Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 141 - 140

Chapter 141: Chapter 140

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt a bit guilty as he spoke.

"I, I didn’t consider that, and that was my fault, but it’s not what you think. Little Meng and I don’t have any improper relationship; we’re just ordinary friends. I just happened to run into her, so I helped her out."

"Ordinary friends?"

Jiang Man’s gaze was skeptical.

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately nodded.

"I swear, there’s absolutely nothing between us. Besides, why would I lie to you?"

Jiang Man stared hard into Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes as if trying to spot any trace of deceit.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan, with a clear conscience, was not afraid.

It took almost half a minute before Jiang Man finally softened her piercing gaze.

"The truth had better be as you say, otherwise, I won’t let you off easily."

This meant Jiang Man had calmed down.

After Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, he retorted to Jiang Man.

"My dear Chairman Jiang, I’m curious, although you are our parental official, you’re not my real parents. Why do you care so much about who I’m with?"

"You ask why?" Jiang Man bit her lip, her eyes reddening.

"Then why don’t you just marry me if you don’t allow me to interact with other women?"

Zhang Xiaoshan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Marry you?"

Jiang Man was taken aback by Zhang Xiaoshan’s question.

"Do you think that’s possible?"

This time it was Zhang Xiaoshan’s turn to stare intently into Jiang Man’s eyes, waiting for her response.

Jiang Man was stunned, unsure of how to answer Zhang Xiaoshan. She felt a bit guilty as she shifted her gaze away and turned to look out the window before softly speaking.

"You know it’s impossible. Even if I wanted to, my family would never agree."

Zhang Xiaoshan wasn’t surprised by the response and even felt somewhat grateful for Jiang Man’s honesty.

"Right, you already said it, it’s impossible for us to be together. Then why do you care about who I’m with? You can’t expect me to never marry or find other women. To put it bluntly, isn’t this just standing over an empty toilet pit without defecating?"

"I, I, I didn’t mean that."

Jiang Man’s attitude softened, and she even seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"You’re right, I’ve been too controlling. From now on, it’s your business whom you want to be with. I won’t ask anymore. I lost my composure today, I apologize to you."

"Oh."

Zhang Xiaoshan responded nonchalantly.

Even though from the moment he had a relationship with Jiang Man, Zhang Xiaoshan knew very clearly that there was no possibility between them, he still felt somewhat disappointed when these words came directly from Jiang Man’s mouth.

Being unable to have a woman because of the difference in social status is a failure for any man.

Both fell silent, and the inside of the car was quiet, tinged with a bit of sadness and awkwardness.

"Forget it, maybe it’s better if we act as strangers from now on."

"You are a high-ranking official’s daughter with a limitless future, and I’m just a humble village doctor, not from the same world. Farewell."

With that, Zhang Xiaoshan was about to get out of the car.

Jiang Man was bewildered.

Weren’t these the words she was supposed to say to Zhang Xiaoshan?

"Wait a minute, I didn’t mean that."

Jiang Man hurriedly followed Zhang Xiaoshan out of the car and blocked his way.

Outside the car, they stood face to face.

"What else is there to say between us?" Although Zhang Xiaoshan was still very disappointed, his expression was indifferent, which made Jiang Man feel an empty sensation inside.

Was this because Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t care anymore?

Did this mean, in fact, that she didn’t hold much place in Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart?
