Chapter 419: Chapter 418 Apology

Zhang Xiaoshan had barely cracked the door open when Hu Qiaoling immediately squeezed through.

Tao Qian also wanted to enter, but Zhang Xiaoshan blocked her path with one hand propped against the door.

"What are you doing here? You’re not welcome, get out of here," he said coldly.

Zhang Xiaoshan spoke with an icy tone.

Fright was written all over Tao Qian’s face, her eyes were red and teary as she pleaded.

"Please, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me in," she begged.

Zhang Xiaoshan continued to sneer.

"Let you in, then you go and report me to the village chief?"

"I’ve already been played by you once, I won’t be fooled a second time."

"Wu wu wu..."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s sarcastic words, Tao Qian immediately burst into tears, large droplets falling from the corners of her eyes.

Zhang Xiaoshan scrutinized Tao Qian with the Eye of the Heavenly Dragon.

"Ah, I’ve really messed up, he definitely won’t bother with me again. Why humiliate myself further? I should just leave."

"But if I can’t get his forgiveness today, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to leave White Dragon Village in this lifetime, right?"

Zhang Xiaoshan knew well that Tao Qian must have sincerely come to apologize.

"Good man, forgive Sister Tao Qian, she was panicked last time. Considering she’s a poor woman who has suffered a lot, give her another chance," Hu Qiaoling, who had already entered the health room, walked over to Zhang Xiaoshan with a bit of trepidation to intercede for Tao Qian.

"Yes, yes, I... I have my difficulties, and besides, didn’t I keep our matter to myself last time?" Tao Qian gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan with pleading eyes.

"Come in and talk," Zhang Xiaoshan said as he moved his arm away from the door, and Tao Qian slipped in.

"Bang."

The wooden door closed tightly once more.

"Their relationship seems complicated," Wu Xiaoru thought, becoming increasingly suspicious. Driven by curiosity, she headed back toward the rear window of the health room.

"I must see what’s going on between Zhang Xiaoshan and them."

"Doctor Zhang, I was wrong, I truly realize my mistake, please forgive my stupidity and ignorance, I won’t dare do it again, wu wu wu," Tao Qian knelt on the floor, wailing and kowtowing as soon as she entered.

"You spiteful woman, you thought you were so bold, so what are you doing here now?" Zhang Xiaoshan backhanded Tao Qian across the face.

The slap dazed Tao Qian, leaving her with blood at the corner of her mouth.

"I... I deserve it, I deserve it," Tao Qian cried miserably, clutching her cheek.

Hu Qiaoling, terrified, shrank into a corner, too afraid to speak.

Zhang Xiaoshan had no pity. That despicable woman Tao Qian had a rebellious streak. If she wasn’t taught a lesson to keep her in line, she might betray him anytime.

"Why did you come with her?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked, turning to Hu Qiaoling.

Hu Qiaoling immediately looked a bit nervous as she replied.

"Li Erniu’s family all went out to the fields. Sister Tao Qian found me and wanted me to come with her to plead with you."

"Hm?"

On hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately noticed something was off.

"She knows about you and me?"

Hu Qiaoling guiltily lowered her head.

"I... I let it slip to her by accident once."

On hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan sighed in resignation.

"You’re still too kind and naive. You’re no match for that woman, unable to keep even this little secret. She’ll have you do whatever she wants; one day she’ll sell you out, and you’ll be left counting the money for her."

Hearing this, Hu Qiaoling’s cheeks flushed, and she slightly bowed her head. After a moment of struggle, she plucked up her courage to speak to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Good man, Sister Tao Qian has had a tough life, even more pitiable than mine. Please, give her another chance."

"I vouch for her. If she dares wrong you again, you can cut ties with both of us."

"No, no, there won’t be a next time. I... I’ve learned my lesson," Tao Qian knelt on the ground, gazing at Zhang Xiaoshan with hope.

Her foxy eyes stirred a feeling of restlessness in Zhang Xiaoshan.

He pondered.

Tao Qian was clearly sincere in her apology. Last time at Zhang Ercai’s house, she didn’t reveal the truth because she still harbored hope that he would help her leave White Dragon Village. That’s why he was able to keep Tao Qian under control. If he crushed that hope, without any reservations, a desperate Tao Qian might risk everything.

Keeping this woman in White Dragon Village was like a time bomb; sending her away was actually safer.

"Good man, please give her one more chance," Hu Qiaoling spoke up again.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t say anything, but walked over to the small bed where he and Wu Xiaoru had fought, which still held their body warmth, and lay down.

"Come up," he said.

"You... you’ve forgiven me?" Tao Qian asked from the floor, her eyes brimming with surprise.

"Just this once, the both of you," Zhang Xiaoshan said as he closed his eyes, saying no more.

The both of you?

Tao Qian and Hu Qiaoling were momentarily stunned. They exchanged a glance, each blushing deeper than the other, and then together they approached the small bed.
