Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

When Zhang Yunniang heard that Gao Zhao had arrived, and thinking of her younger sister left alone in the front yard with the lecherous playboy, she was extremely worried. Without thinking of anything else, she ran out immediately.

So much so that she was only wearing a plain silk gauze dress, which was barely concealing the scenery that was about to burst out from under that thin strapless bra!

She had been running all the way, her figure swaying and her clothes fluttering slightly, which made her look even more graceful. The breathtaking ups and downs created ripples, showing the unique gentle charm of a woman.

Gao Zhao was completely subdued at a single glance!

Zhang Yunniang's gaze was naturally fixed on Gao Zhao. Seeing that his expression was strange, she couldn't help but look down in the direction of his gaze.

That one glance made her freeze instantly!

I rushed out the door without thinking to tidy my clothes, and ended up running out in my thin home dress. How could such a thin gauze dress possibly cover what was underneath?

In an instant, a blush spread from her neck to her entire face. She was both ashamed and embarrassed. She quickly raised her hand to cover the fluttering gauze in front of her, took a small step back, her shoulders tensed slightly, and her breathing became a little erratic.

Normally, she would have exclaimed in surprise, but now, in front of her younger sister, even though she was extremely embarrassed, she could not lose her composure, otherwise, if this got back to her father, she would probably face another round of unwarranted accusations.

"Young Master Gao!" Zhang Yunniang forced herself to remain calm, her cold voice tinged with embarrassment and anger, yet also tense, as she said in a deep voice, "What brings you to my home today?"

Gao Zhao was immediately awakened by her, and after taking a greedy look at Zhang Yunniang's almost erotic outfit, he couldn't help but sigh that Lin Chong was eating very well.

His gaze shifted upwards, meeting Zhang Yunniang's angry eyes. He quickly gave an awkward smile, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Replying to sister-in-law, I heard that Instructor Lin is going out of town on official business, so I came to see him off!"

Zhang Yunniang glared at him angrily and said coldly, "He's already gone!"

"Oh? What bad timing! I just got the news. I rushed here, but I'm still too late!"

Gao Zhao's face was filled with just the right amount of regret. He shook his head and sighed repeatedly, looking sincere as if he was full of regret and had missed his chance to go to the cause.

But those shifty eyes kept brazenly scrutinizing Zhang Yunniang.

Zhang Yunniang was secretly annoyed, and hearing his words made her even angrier. She thought to herself, "You probably waited for him to leave before you came over!"

"Young master, your timing is unfortunate. My husband just left the day before yesterday!" Zhang Yunniang suppressed her panic and embarrassment, clutching her gauze dress tightly, her posture ramrod straight. Her tone was distant yet measured. "Now only we women and children are at home, it is inconvenient to entertain guests. Please forgive us, young master!"

Seeing that the other party had given him the order to leave, Gao Zhao was unwilling to leave so easily. He said sincerely, "Sister-in-law is absolutely right. I was too abrupt in coming today. However, I have come all the way from Biyong and am very thirsty. May I ask for some water?"

Zhang Yunniang knew he had ill intentions, so she just looked at him coldly and remained silent.

Gao Zhao turned to look at Zhang Zhenniang, a bitter smile on his face.

The girl was soft-hearted after all, thinking that although this person acted frivolously, he had at least come to see her and had even come up with such an excuse...

"Sister, he came to see your husband off. It's so hot, and he didn't even offer him a cup of tea. Isn't that a bit too heartless?"

Zhang Yunniang was suddenly betrayed. She turned her head and glared at her, which made the girl shrink back and stick out her tongue in fright.

However, since her younger sister had finally spoken, she couldn't say anything more. She could only turn to Jin'er and instruct, "Go and pour a bowl of cold tea."

"Thank you for your generosity, young lady!" Gao Zhao turned to thank her, and at the same time winked at her almost imperceptibly. Then he looked down at her feet and licked his lips.

Zhang Zhenniang immediately recalled the scene of stepping on his face that day, her face flushed, and a tingling sensation spread from her foot up her body, making her heart feel unbearably itchy.

A chill ran down her spine, and she quickly pulled the little foot back.

Then she remembered that this bad person had made up stories about her sore feet, and she felt both ashamed and angry. Her watery eyes widened, and she glared at Gao Zhao hatefully.

My sister was right after all; that scholar is a bad person!

Knowing that she wouldn't dare to expose him in front of her sister, she deliberately made fun of herself!

Zhang Yunniang, standing to the side, was completely unaware of the undercurrent in their eyes, her mind still preoccupied with the shame and annoyance of her disheveled appearance.

She kept her hands tightly wrapped around her thin gauze dress, her posture taut and straight, her cold gaze fixed on Gao Zhao, always on guard against him causing trouble.

Before long, Jin'er came hiding with a bowl of tea. Gao Zhao reached out and took it, but didn't drink it right away.

He would take a sip, glance at Zhang Yunniang, then take another sip, glance at her again… as if he were using her as a side dish for tea.

At first, Zhang Yunniang didn't react, but when he did it again and again, she suddenly realized that her heart was filled with shame and indignation, and her pretty face turned bright red.

This blatant scrutiny was so direct it bordered on brazen, making it clear to anyone that he harbored filth. Zhang Yunniang's chest heaved with anger, causing her already thin silk robe to sway, which only drew Gao Zhao's lingering gaze.

Seeing her so embarrassed, Gao Zhao stopped himself, tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp, then handed her the teacup and smiled, "Sister-in-law, may I have a word with you in private?"

Zhang Yunniang's eyes narrowed, and she stared at him warily.

"Just one question, and I'll leave!" Gao Zhao glanced at the other two women in the courtyard and smiled. "There are still people here. In broad daylight, I can't possibly do anything reckless. Please rest assured, sister-in-law!"

Zhang Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned and walked away, saying calmly, "Come with me!"

Gao Zhao followed closely behind, watching her slender figure from behind, and went after her.

The two didn't go far. Reaching the back of a house, Zhang Yunniang stopped, turned around, and said, "What is it? Speak!"

Gao Zhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember what you said when you begged me to save Instructor Lin?"

Zhang Yunniang paused, recalling how Lin Chong had been wrongfully imprisoned and had tried everywhere to no avail. She had no choice but to beg Gao Zhao for help, but as time had passed, Gao Zhao had stopped mentioning it, and she had forgotten about it.

"You...what do you want...what do you want...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Gao Zhao suddenly stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her.

"Get out of my way!" Zhang Yunniang was shocked, then filled with shame and indignation. She shoved Gao Zhao away and said in a low, grief-stricken voice, "If you dare force me, I'll kill myself!"

"Hehe..." Gao Zhao took two steps back and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. I won't force you. This way, we're even. How about it?"

Zhang Yunniang wiped her lips hard, her eyes reddening as she stared intently at him, unsure whether his words were true or false.

Gao Zhao licked his lips, as if savoring the memory, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Seeing that he had really left, Zhang Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute!"

Gao Zhao turned around and asked jokingly, "Has your sister-in-law changed her mind?"

"Pah!" Zhang Yunniang spat, angrily saying, "Was my husband's business trip this time also arranged by you?"

Gao Zhao was about to deny it when a thought suddenly struck him, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "That's right!"

"You!" Zhang Yunniang exclaimed, both shocked and furious at his readily admitted confession, "What are you plotting?"

"There's no conspiracy at all, sister-in-law, you think too badly of me!" Gao Zhao stepped forward and whispered, "If you won't let me touch you, I won't let Lin Chong touch you either!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunniang was furious, trembling all over, and her face filled with shame and indignation as she cursed, "You are shameless and despicable!"

"Haha..." Gao Zhao was not ashamed and turned around to laugh as he left. Just as he turned the corner, he saw Zhang Zhenniang standing there with a nervous expression.
