Chapter 636: Chapter 635: Concubines of the Harem

Zhang Xiaoshan was startled, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Oh..."

Jia Lanhua realized her lapse in composure and impetuousness and quickly changed her tone.

"I, I was just joking, I’m sorry."

Having suffered such a setback, she couldn’t help but feel vulnerable and empty.

Zhang Xiaoshan expressed understanding.

"It’s okay."

Jia Lanhua’s heart was actually filled with a sourness at that moment.

She knew she deeply loved and needed Zhang Xiaoshan, but she was also acutely aware that, at present, she simply wasn’t worthy of him.

For Zhang Xiaoshan to continue being kind to her was fortunate enough, to dream of becoming his wife was nothing but a fool’s fantasy, an invitation to further humiliation.

Zhang Xiaoshan, noting Jia Lanhua’s pallor, hesitated before speaking to her.

"Sister Lanhua, the truth is, I also have feelings for you, but I’m not planning on getting married just yet, wait..."

"Forget it."

Jia Lanhua interrupted Zhang Xiaoshan, forcing a strained smile on her face.

"Little Shan, there’s no need to explain, I understand."

"Actually, that vice president is the best choice for you, marrying her would be quite good. I must have said something wrong, done something to give her the wrong impression about you and me."

"Maybe you should go talk to her, tell her, that there is nothing between us, that we are innocent."

Hearing Jia Lanhua’s words, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a secret anguish in his heart.

The situation at the time was so obvious, even if he said he and Jia Lanhua were innocent, how could Jiang Man possibly believe that? Besides, he had already come clean to Jiang Man, so anything he said now would be pointless, wouldn’t it?

But Jia Lanhua had just suffered a great defeat, barely escaping with her life, and he didn’t want to burden her with any further mental strain, so he spoke up.

"Sister Lanhua, don’t worry, I will handle this matter."

"Rest well, I will come to see you again tomorrow."

"Alright."

After bidding farewell, Zhang Xiaoshan left the hospital and, after a moment’s hesitation, headed straight for Jiang Man’s house.

Whether Jiang Man forgave him was one thing, but whether he sought her out was another; often, the attitude one takes is extremely important.

...

In Jiang Man’s home, she was lying on the couch at that moment, her sadness reaching an extreme, her eyes swollen from crying.

A heap of soaked tissues lay scattered on the floor.

"Sister Man, are you there?"

Suddenly, a voice called from outside the door.

"Is it him?"

Jiang Man was startled, but then the voice seemed to fade away.

"Am I hearing things?"

"Sob, sob, sob, that jerk hurt you so deeply, why are you still thinking of him? Forget him, just forget him."

Jiang Man cursed herself.

Then, the calling voice resonated once more.

"Sister Man, are you home?"

"Sister Man, knock, knock, knock..."

The persistent voice and knocking at the door continued.

This time Jiang Man heard it clearly.

Zhang Xiaoshan had come.

A trace of joy surfaced in her woeful eyes, but it all turned to despair in the end.

She remained seated on the couch, silent.

After a while, the noise at the door stopped.

"Did he, did he leave?"

At that moment, Jiang Man became annoyed again.

He had only stood outside for five or six minutes before leaving; was his apology really so insincere?

Forget it, if he’s gone, he’s gone. In any case, she no longer wanted to see Zhang Xiaoshan.

This man had completely broken her heart; he truly was despicable.

"Has he really gone?"

After a few more minutes, she suddenly felt very angry.

She stood up and walked to the door, peering through the peephole to the outside.

Instantly, a figure came into clear view.

Zhang Xiaoshan had been using the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye’s penetrative power to spy inside. When Jiang Man approached, he noticed immediately and his heart surged with joy.

Clearly, Jiang Man couldn’t let him go.

"Sister Man, I know you’re angry, but, but I love you."

Jiang Man pouted, remaining silent.

Zhang Xiaoshan continued.

"Sister Man, my love for you is true, heaven and earth can bear witness. I swear if I don’t love you to the slightest degree, may I be struck by lightning from the heavens."

"But I know I’ve done wrong, and, and I hope you can forgive me just this once."

Inside the room, Jiang Man, touched by these declarations of love, struggled internally.

"I..."

"I..."

After several attempts, she finally took a deep breath and spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan outside the door.

"Occasionally making a mistake, I can overlook that, forgive you once, but, but can you break it off with those other women?"

Zhang Xiaoshan fell silent outside the door.

How could he break things off with them?

It would be better to kill himself.

"Sister Man, I’m sorry..."

Then there was a lengthy silence.

Jiang Man felt a chill in her heart.

"You can go. Since you can’t break with them, why come to me? I cannot accept you having other women. What do you take me for? A concubine in your harem?"

"Go, just go."

Jiang Man cried out in agitation.

Tears involuntarily fell.
