Feeling the flames in Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze, Su Xiangmei not only showed not a hint of shyness but also deliberately thrust out her chest and said to Zhang Xiaoshan with a smiley face.
"Little Shan, you know how I feel about you. I’m ready anytime you want me."
"It just so happens that I’m ovulating these days. If we do it now, I’m sure to get pregnant."
Her words immediately gave Zhang Xiaoshan a scare.
If it were just about having a casual fling, Zhang Xiaoshan might have had trouble controlling himself after all, who would refuse sex on a platter?
Su Xiangmei, with her ripe figure, was certainly flavorful.
But if pregnancy were to happen, wasn’t this a joke?
Fathering a child with a woman more than a decade his senior? That was practically begging for trouble.
His spark of passion for Su Xiangmei was extinguished in an instant.
"Auntie Xiangmei, you better put your clothes on quick. If someone sees, it’ll be hard to explain."
He shifted his gaze away.
But the Widow Su wouldn’t let it go, saying,
"Who would come here in the dead of night? Besides, I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought to himself, your reputation in the village isn’t that great to begin with, and as a widow, of course, you’re not afraid. But as a young man who’s not yet married, how could I not be?
Of course, these were just thoughts in his head, and he didn’t voice them.
If he angered Su Xiangmei and she spread the word about him and Luo Meili, that would be no small matter.
"Auntie Xiangmei, it’s not that I won’t give it to you, but I’ve really been unwell lately."
Zhang Xiaoshan was still stalling for time.
But Su Xiangmei retorted,
"Zhang Xiaoshan, I’ve been patient enough. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You never intended to help me; you’ve been deceiving me from the start."
"Stop making excuses. If you keep this up, I, I’ll make it a fight to the death with you."
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt uneasy.
It wouldn’t be all that surprising if Widow Su really did something outrageous. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Auntie, look at what you’re saying. How could I deceive you?"
"Didn’t I tell you last time to take the medicine for half a month to regulate your body? That time hasn’t passed yet, has it?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s face wore a smile, but his heart cursed.
Su Xiangmei, not convinced, said,
"It’s been twelve days up to today. The three days don’t make much difference, do they?"
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately put on a serious face, and said earnestly,
"Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? Do you think you know better than me?"
"I said fifteen days, and it’s going to be fifteen days. Otherwise, even if I do get you pregnant, you’re likely to have a girl instead of a boy."
"I suppose you’re not taking such a big risk to have a daughter, are you?"
"Of course not; I must have a son." Su Xiangmei’s emotions immediately flared up.
"There you go, listen to me. Go home, take the medicine properly, and once your body is adjusted, I’ll make sure you have a son."
Zhang Xiaoshan’s tone was quite earnest.
Su Xiangmei was immediately fooled.
After all, she had experienced Zhang Xiaoshan’s medical skills firsthand when Li Ya was on the brink of death and he pulled her back.
In terms of medical expertise, she had absolute faith in Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Well, I’ll take the medicine for another three days, but, but you have to keep your word."
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded right away.
"Okay, three days it is; I’ll make sure you’re satisfied when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangmei immediately broke out into a radiant smile.
"I knew you were a good guy, and you wouldn’t deceive your auntie like that."
"Come on, eat up, it’ll get cold."
Su Xiangmei, with a bright smile on her face, called Zhang Xiaoshan to eat.
Zhang Xiaoshan, his stomach growling with hunger, didn’t hold back and started eating right away.
Su Xiangmei’s cooking skills were indeed not bad.
But Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t enjoy the meal.
At the moment, his heart felt heavy.
Having promised Su Xiangmei three days, he’d temporarily stabilized her, but what about after three days?
He certainly couldn’t continue to delay, otherwise Su Xiangmei would really get anxious.
If his affair with Luo Meili were to be revealed...
It’d be bad enough if others found out, but if his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu got wind of it, where would that leave him?
Yu Xiuxiu was already ignoring Zhang Xiaoshan, and if it were confirmed that there was an affair between Zhang Xiaoshan and Luo Meili...
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t dare to imagine the severe consequences.
Should he give in to Su Xiangmei after three days?
Then use some medicine to prevent her from getting pregnant, so he wouldn’t have to worry about Su Xiangmei carrying his child.
But if Su Xiangmei didn’t get pregnant, she wouldn’t stop pestering him, and it would be hard to put an end to it once it started.
Moreover, if he really slept with Su Xiangmei, even without a child, if Li Ya discovered even a hint of it...
Then Li Ya might think of committing suicide.
This mother and daughter duo were indeed quite a headache.
Zhang Xiaoshan ate his meal with a heavy heart, and it took him twenty minutes to finish.
"Little Shan, I’m leaving now, okay? Remember what you promised me. I’ll come looking for you in three days. If you dare hide from me, I’ll go straight to your house and find your sister-in-law."
After tidying up the dishes, Widow Su left.
"This Su Xiangmei really leaves me speechless."
After sighing in his heart, Zhang Xiaoshan washed his face, made sure no one was outside, then turned off the lights, locked the door, and climbed out through the back window.
With three days to go, he’d deal with it when the time came; solving the problem at hand was the right course of action.
He carried the briefcase and followed the path toward the White Dragon Temple.
Inside, Wu Xiaoru was anxiously waiting for him.
Soon, Zhang Xiaoshan arrived outside the White Dragon Temple.
The place was somewhat eerie, and with many ancestral tablets enshrined, no one would come here in the middle of the night.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked down at the briefcase in his hand, then hurried inside, unable to wait any longer.
Tonight, he would ruin Wu Xiaoru.
All the efforts of past days were about to pay off tonight.
