The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan almost spat the tea she had just drunk onto Jin Dacheng's face.

His face flushed red, and he coughed twice.

With a strange expression, he asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"Didn't Zhao Yaru look down on men? How come she has a suitor now?"

"This has absolutely nothing to do with me."

The more he talked, the more panicked he was inside, and Kim Dae-sung could clearly see that.

With a smile, he advised, "You don't need to be too nervous, I'm just giving you a heads-up."

"Ya Ru is young, beautiful, and wealthy, so naturally she has no shortage of suitors."

"And we even spent some time together before that."

"They just broke up later."

Chen Huan pouted, "Like I said, what does this have to do with me?"

"I was just treating her illness; it was a mutually agreeable arrangement."

"Why should I explain all this to you? Even if I got the better deal, who can do anything to me?"

Kim Dae-sung slapped his thigh and said, "What I admire most about you is your attitude towards life."

"Take life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, then fight!"

"You're right, what can a few suitors do to you?"

"It just means to be careful during this period and not let others plot against you."

  

Chen Huan was both amused and exasperated. "Old Jin, I'll fuck your grandpa."

"How come there are several suitors now? What's the meaning of this underhanded scheme?"

Old Jin smiled ingratiatingly, "Don't swear."

"Didn't I just tell you? Ya Ru is quite outstanding and has no shortage of suitors."

"Originally, since neither of us could win her over, there wasn't much to say."

"But now someone has spread rumors that Ya Ru traveled all the way from Dongjiang City to here just because she has taken a liking to a country boy."

"They even moved into someone else's house."

"So, those men who had previously been unable to get what they wanted, or who had been in a good relationship but were then dumped, all felt resentful and decided to cause trouble."

Chen Huan's eye twitched. "So, they're not only jealous, they're also planning to mess with me?"

"Why didn't you wait until they killed me before telling me?"

Kim Dae-sung chuckled twice. "It's not that serious. I just got the news myself."

"Perhaps they're just feeling indignant and saying a few harsh words; they might not actually come here to cause you trouble."

The more Kim Dae-sung said this, the more Chen Huan felt that this was very likely to happen.

Jin Dacheng chuckled and continued to persuade him, "That's why I'm saying, if you can get things done with Ya Ru, once the Zhao family makes an announcement, won't all those resentful and jealous people shut up?"

Chen Huan waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this again."

"I'd like to see what these swarms of admirers can do to me."

Seeing that Chen Huan was unmoved by reasoning, Jin Dacheng simply stopped mentioning it and the two started talking about other topics.

It was very late when Chen Huan left Jin Dacheng's shop to pick up Fatty and take him back to the village.

After taking him back to his residence, Chen Huan hurriedly rushed home.

There are three women in the family now, and I don't know how things are going.

In addition, I really indulged myself tonight, and there are signs that my internal energy is already stagnant.

After returning, I must continue to cultivate diligently.

The courtyard was quiet; nothing seemed to be happening.

Chen Huan tiptoed into the courtyard and slowly made her way into her room.

Without even washing his face, he quickly took off his clothes and collapsed onto the bed.

As I fell down, I suddenly felt someone on my bed.

And it seemed that, like me, she wasn't wearing many clothes.

"what!"

"Who is it?" A scream woke up everyone in the next room.

Zhao Liping moved quickly, running into Chen Huan's room in a few steps and turning on the lights immediately.

At this moment, Chen Huan, in a panic, was lying on the bed trying to get up.

He pressed down on the panicked Zhao Yaru.

Both of them had their faces flushed.

However, Chen Huan was a little embarrassed, while Zhao Yaru was simply angry.

"Chen Huan, you filthy scoundrel, what do you want to do?" It was Zhao Liping who was cursing.

With an indignant and angry look, he walked over, pointed at Chen Huan, and gave him a long scolding.

Chen Huan's eyes widened. "Who's the hooligan?"

"I just wanted to go back to my room to sleep. Who put Zhao Yaru in my bed?"

"You mean I'm paying you to stay?" Zhao Yaru shrank to a corner of the bed, covering her chest with her hands, her expression a mixture of grievance and anger.

Whether you pay me or not is none of my business.

"I just want to ask, why did you end up in my bed?" Chen Huan asked repeatedly, as if she had finally gotten the point.

Zhao Yaru looked blank. "How would I know? I got up once during the night, I was half asleep, and when I got back to my room I went straight to bed."

"How was I supposed to know this was your room?"

"Even if I went into the wrong room, does that mean you didn't do anything wrong?"

"Didn't you take a good look before getting into bed? Did you just pounce on me? What were you doing?"

Chen Huan gritted her teeth, "Don't you know what I did?"

"I could say you were deliberately waiting to take advantage of me. Are you after my body?"

The two were about to start arguing.

Having already figured out what had happened, Li Chunlan suppressed a laugh and came over to comfort her, "Nothing really happened, right?"

"Ya Ru's scream just now scared the wits out of me."

"Zhao Liping, stop watching the commotion and go back inside to rest."

With Li Chunlan's persuasion, the atmosphere finally eased considerably.

Zhao Yaru, acting as if she were guarding against a thief, watched as Chen Huan slipped out of the room along the wall.

Zhao Liping was the last one to leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly leaned close to Chen Huan and asked in a very ambiguous tone, "Tell me, were you doing that on purpose just now?"

"You want to make the best of a bad situation, right?"

Chen Huan pouted, "I'll count to three. If you still don't leave, I'll execute you on the spot."

A hint of nervous panic flashed across Zhao Liping's face, mixed with a touch of excited anticipation.

She said coquettishly, "You smooth talker! You're waiting until the middle of the night, just wait and see if I don't come looking for you!"

Chen Huan was taken aback, thinking to himself, "I was just joking, you actually took it seriously?"

Fortunately, Zhao Liping didn't come looking for her.

Chen Huan barely slept for the entire second half of the night, spending the whole time diligently cultivating and trying to regulate the internal energy.

Things finally returned to normal as dawn broke.

It's probably because of the misunderstanding last night.

When Zhao Yaru saw Chen Huan in the morning, she kept a cold face and even glared at him.

Chen Huan gritted his teeth. "What are you smug about?"

"What happened yesterday isn't my fault, is it?"

"Even if I really wanted to take advantage of you, wouldn't it be better to do it openly and honestly?"

"I'll give you a massage later, do you think you can escape my clutches?"

After saying that, Chen Huan stretched out his hand and made several firm gripping gestures.

Zhao Yaru's face flushed red instantly. "I...I don't need your treatment anymore!"
