Chapter 242: Chapter 241 Jia Lanhua’s Test

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 something."

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 me? Hinting at me?

And there were those previous encounters, where Jia Lanhua’s attitude towards him seemed 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 immediately felt as if it were being tickled by a cat, a strong itching sensation.

At this moment, 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 Meili involved with each other?"

"Ah?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback. Had his relationship with Luo Meili really become common knowledge?

But on second thought, other than being caught once by the widow Su Xiangmei, 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 some paragon of virtue, I would never do such a thing that defies public morals."

Zhang Xiaoshan was emphatic, speaking without a hint of embarrassment.

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 Meili that much? Do you have a crush on her?"

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately explained,

"It’s just that I see her struggling by herself, and besides, when I was in college and had no money, she supported me. 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 handsome 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 seemed like an endless black hole, intent on swallowing Zhang Xiaoshan’s soul, and deep inside, he could even hear an inviting whisper, "Come to me, come on, be bold and come."

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 me ask you, between me and Luo Meili, 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 Meili was slightly more voluptuous. Luo Meili 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 moment, Zhang Xiaoshan definitely wasn’t foolish enough to praise Luo Meili.

"Sister Meili, 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 immediately showed signs of joy.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

"Of course, it couldn’t be truer, but it’s just a shame. 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 demeanor seemed so genuine and sympathetic that it immediately 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 me 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 Meili, you can also help me 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 someone.

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 remembered there’s something 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 troublesome if the village chief sees us."

Zhang Xiaoshan peered anxiously outside the window, somewhat perturbed,

but Jia Lanhua was grinning as she said,

"Little Shan, tell me, you were the one who sneakily came in and watched me bathe that morning, weren’t you?

"
