Xiao Hanzheng left the banquet early, so he walked out of the Shi family's gate alone.
Then, he saw a beautiful and enchanting woman in a rose-red dress carrying a food box and was walking over.
Xiao Hanzheng's expression didn't change as he continued to walk forward.
Tao Liu also didn't seem to pay attention to Xiao Hanzheng as she carried the food box and walked towards the gate.
Who knew that just as the two of them were about to cross their paths, she suddenly stepped on a rock and fell into Xiao Hanzheng's arms.
If he were someone else, even if he wasn't intrigued by her beauty, he would instinctively support the person who fell over.
Xiao Hanzheng's first reaction was to dodge without hesitation.
"Bang!" Tao Liu fell heavily to the ground and knocked over the food box.
She looked at Xiao Hanzheng in disbelief.
He had actually avoided her on purpose.
She was such a beautiful and fragile woman who had accidentally fallen.
Shouldn't he be hugging and supporting her? He actually turned a blind eye to it.
Feeling the pain coming from her bare feet, her eyes instantly turned red.
She raised her head to look at Xiao Hanzheng. "Young master, I accidentally sprained my ankle. Can you please help me?"
Xiao Hanzheng's face was cold. "Men and women should not have any intimate relationship. You should get up by yourself."
After saying that, he swept his gaze across the corner of the wall not far away.
Without even looking at the beauty on the ground, he turned and left.
In his previous life, he was given more beautiful and flirtatious women but had rejected them all.
Where did this woman get the confidence to seduce him?
No, he had to quickly go to the workshop to see his little wife and wash his eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Hanzheng left without any hesitation, Tao Liu bit her lips and cursed him for being unromantic.
However, this also motivated her to try harder.
She did not believe that there was a cat in this world that wasn't interested in a fish.
Xiao Hanzheng was really good-looking.
He was even better looking than any noble young master she had seen in the capital, and his temperament wasn't inferior to them.
No wonder the general's wife was wary of him.
She wanted to stand up, but her feet were in severe pain, and she had probably bruised her arms and legs.
So, she did not scold Xiao Hanzheng anymore.
Instead, she felt that if she could subdue such an unromantic, cold, and handsome man, she would feel accomplished.
The middle-aged man hiding by the wall frowned when he saw this.
He was obviously surprised that Xiao Hanzheng was indifferent to a beautiful woman.
He escorted Tao Liu all the way to Nanxi County and could not help but be mesmerized by her.
If not for the fact that he was still rational and knew that she was specially sent by his madam to deal with Xiao Hanzheng, he would have been tempted to touch her.
He quickly walked over and helped her up. He asked with concern, "Is your leg okay?"
After Tao Liu stood up, she immediately pushed him away. "I sprained my angle, but I can walk on my own."
She knew how he felt towards her. Other than disdain, there was only contempt.
What she wanted wasn't money.
If she wasn't under someone's instruction, she would have seduced Xiao Hanzheng and not listened to the general's wife's instruction of ruining his reputation.
Instead, she would accompany him to the imperial examinations.
She had a good eye and knew that Xiao Hanzheng wasn't simple.
As long as he did not have any misfortune now, his future wouldn't be bad.
She wasn't interested in the middle-aged man and limped back to the Shi family.
She was thinking, about how to attract Xiao Hanzheng's attention and hook him up.
When Fourth Son Shi returned to the room and saw Tao Liu sitting in a daze, his eyes went wide and revealed an infatuated look.
Tao Liu had encountered such gazes before and felt disgusted.
She got up and greeted him perfunctorily, "Hello, Fourth Son Shi!"
"I'll leave our young lady to you."
After saying that, she limped and wanted to leave the room.
Fourth Son Shi had a worried look on his face. "What happened to your leg?"
Tao Liu said coldly, "I went to get the food box just now and accidentally sprained my ankle."
She left after saying that.
This caused Wu Xixi to grit her silver teeth.
She didn't like Fourth Son Shi.
He was clearly intrigued by her, so she was extremely unhappy.
Because of that, when Fourth Son Shi came over, she couldn't help but mock him with a cold face and disallowed him to touch her.
She hid a pair of scissors under her pillow.
If Fourth Son Shi dared to touch her, she wouldn't be polite to him.
Wu Xixi knew Tao Liu's motive. She lowered her eyes. That woman could do it, so why couldn't she?
Her ideal husband was Xiao Hanzheng.
If she succeeded, she would divorce Fourth Son Shi and remarry him.
She believed that the Wu family would also be happy to see her succeed.
Fourth Son Shi had just seen a great beauty, so when he came to visit Wu Xixi, he felt that she was like a bowl of plain porridge and simple side dishes and instantly lost his appetite.
Especially when he thought of what had happened in the courtyard that day, he felt extremely disgusted.
He sneered, "With your shameless face and your little seductiveness, do you think I'm willing to touch you?"
Wu Xixi looked at Fourth Son Shi in disbelief.
She did not expect him to say this.
She was still very confident about her appearance.
Because of this, she wasn't in a good mood.
She picked up the things on the bed and threw them at Fourth Son Shi. "Bastard, you bastard."
Fourth Son Shi waved the things away in annoyance. "B * tch, I'm sick of looking at you. You can stay here by yourself."
Thus, he pulled open the door and left.
He thought to herself, it would be great if he could get his hands on her bridal maid just now.
On the other hand.
Xiao Hanzheng went to the sugar workshop.
He saw his little wife sitting leisurely in the courtyard and basking in the sun.
When Shi Qingluo saw her little husband coming in, she looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "How does that woman look like? Is she very beautiful?"
After all, even Mdm Niu said that she was very beautiful, so her looks would definitely not be bad.
When someone told her that there was a problem with the workshop, she guessed that someone was playing tricks and wanted to send her away.
She also left as what the person wished.
It wasn't really a test for her husband, but more of because she felt that he would not be seduced.
If he did not hold back, she could only let him pack up and she would bid farewell to him.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at her teasing gaze and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He walked over confidently and half squatted down, looking at her seriously. "She's not as pretty as my wife."
This wasn't a perfunctory answer, he really felt that way.
In his heart, his wife was the most beautiful woman.
Even when she was still sallow and skinny, he still felt that she was pretty in every aspect.
Not to mention that she was becoming more and more beautiful.
Shi Qingluo laughed out in satisfaction and reached out to pinch Xiao Hanzheng's face. "That's more like it."
She looked at him confidently and said, "I am the most beautiful one in your eyes, remember that."
Then, she added, "Of course, you are also the most handsome man in my eyes."
Xiao Hanzheng's eyes were filled with smiles. "You are the most beautiful woman in my eyes, don't worry."
Shi Qingluo's ears turned red.
She realized that her young hubby's words of love were really touching!
"Hubby, you really know how to talk. I like listening to you."
She reached out to wrap her arms around his neck and pulled his head over.
She bit his chin and said, "Make a mark. You are mine."
She would go and meet the woman who coveted her hubby next time.
Xiao Hanzheng's eyes darkened.
He moved closer to Shi Qingluo's red ears and gently bit her earlobe. "Then I will make a mark too."
It also made Shi Qingluo's ear tip redder, and her face was even tinged with a faint blush.
Her little husband was indeed a big flirt, but she liked it!
