After being pinned down by Zhang Xiaoshan, Jiang Man’s pretty face turned red, her eyes filled with a hint of sultry resentment as she looked up at him.
A beautiful woman pretending to be angry is even more charming.
"You jerk, I helped you, and you took the opportunity to bully me."
"From now on, don’t expect me to deal with your messes."
"It was clearly you who wanted to play the hero, and I ended up cleaning up your mess. Enough is enough."
Jiang Man was indeed somewhat displeased, after all, today’s trouble was all because Zhang Xiaoshan had stood up for another woman.
Her gaze was too enticing; a cold and aloof queen showing such a demure demeanor is more than most men can resist.
Zhang Xiaoshan instantly became enthusiastic.
"Who said I’m bullying you? I’m repaying you."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand started to wander.
"Stop, don’t do it, you must not mess around."
Jiang Man kept pushing him away, displaying a resistant demeanor, yet her eyes were filled with fiery intensity.
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled maliciously and didn’t indulge Jiang Man, grabbing her hair directly.
Jiang Man was immediately terrified and lost her composure.
"You bastard... don’t mess around"
The next day, as soon as Zhang Xiaoshan opened his eyes, he found Jiang Man immaculately dressed, sitting in a chair at the head of the bed, staring fixedly at him.
He was startled and quickly became much more alert.
"What are you doing, scaring people early in the morning?" Zhang Xiaoshan rolled over, unable to hold back his complaint.
"I want to talk to you."
At this moment, Jiang Man had shifted from her captivating demeanor of last night.
She became cold and serious, just like when she was at work, and Zhang Xiaoshan could sense that Jiang Man’s emotions were unusual.
This was indeed the first time Jiang Man had addressed Zhang Xiaoshan in such a manner privately.
It seemed that Jiang Man indeed had something important to discuss.
Zhang Xiaoshan also sat up and looked earnestly at Jiang Man.
In the past, Zhang Xiaoshan had been an exceptionally upright man, which was why he hadn’t succeeded with Wu Xiaoru despite many years of dating. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Now, having inherited the powers of Dragon Girl and especially after cultivating the Nine Dragon Skill, his temperament had changed quite a bit, but he was still able to be serious when it came to important matters.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Man stared at Zhang Xiaoshan with a very earnest and serious tone.
"My family wants me to get married."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan also panicked.
"Definitely not with you," Jiang Man was very direct, leaving no room for face-saving for Zhang Xiaoshan.
After all, she is now a prestigious government official’s daughter and a vice-chairman at the county level. Only a man highly regarded by her family could match her, certainly not just an ordinary man.
"Then, can you tell me who it is?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s emotions were also slightly agitated at this moment.
Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, then bitterly said with a somber expression.
"The other party is the son of a major figure in the province, but it’s better you don’t know the specifics. I am afraid knowing too much might bring you trouble. In any case, his family’s background is very impressive, even terrifying to ordinary people."
"Even a family like mine has to look up to them, so it’s better for you not to know."
From Jiang Man’s status, to say that a background is terrifying truly shows the other party’s extraordinariness.
"Is it possible not to marry him?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Jiang Man and shared his thoughts.
