"You big jerk, you're really bullying too much."
Han Yue was somewhat angry. She could naturally see that Xu Ran was purposely waiting until the last moment to take action, which was even more infuriating than the bastards of the Hong Family.
"I won't ever believe in the whole 'hero saving the beauty' thing again." Xin Lan nodded in agreement. She, too, had often heard about such stories of heroes saving beauties, and they had been very much infatuated with the love stories of those peerless talents.
But now, having witnessed a scene of the "hero saving the beauty" about to unfold, the two women couldn't help but roll their eyes, feeling their wonderful fantasies shattered.
Men, indeed, are not a single good thing—they don't deserve any kindness.
"Cough cough, what do you know? I wanted you to see the true face of the Hong Family. Otherwise, if I had shown up before the Hong Family revealed their vile nature, then when I help you annihilate the Hong Family, they might still play the victim and accuse us wrongly." Xu Ran hastily explained, his heroic image couldn't be tainted.
How could he be such a heartless dog? Everything he did was for the sake of the Han Family.
"Really?"
Han Yue and Xin Lan didn't believe Xu Ran's words. Xu Ran had always been carefree and lascivious, which was a far cry from the upright gentleman they had in mind. However, they felt that Xu Ran's explanation seemed quite reasonable.
"Of course it's true. Let the Hong Family spill everything, and when they make the first move, we will be in the right when we act against them. Otherwise, doesn't your Han Family have some conservative elders with a woman's kindness?" Xu Ran continued to explain.
"That's true." Han Yue nodded in agreement.
Any family will have its share of hypocrites; after all, in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. If the other party doesn't go too far, it truly isn't easy for a family like the Han Family to act against the Hong Family.
"Han Yue sis, do you really believe what this lecher says? I think, he hasn't thought that much."
Seeing Han Yue get entangled in his words, Xin Lan covered her face and chuckled.
Han Yue really was a bit of a bimbo, but Xin Lan wasn't that silly.
"Say that again and I'll strip you naked right here and mete out justice on the spot. With the sky as the cover, and the earth as the bed." Xu Ran grabbed Xin Lan's shapely bottom hard and warned sternly.
It seemed he had been too gentle, causing the loss of a husband's authority.
Xin Lan's face turned bright red, and her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, her body trembling from Xu Ran's bold and shameless words.
She had never heard such shameless words before. How could they be said to a girl? Even if those lechers really had such thoughts, they would certainly not say them so brazenly for the sake of their reputation. Xu Ran really was...
"You wouldn't dare. If I were seen by others, would you bear it?" Xin Lan spat lightly, but she dared not tear down Xu Ran's front any longer. If she truly angered Xu Ran, he was capable of doing anything.
The ground was dirty, and covered in dust. If she fell on it, she would definitely be in pain.
"Do you think anyone would discover if I handle things?" Xu Ran teased. Although he was itching to act, it was just a tease directed at Xin Lan. He really didn't have the time for that now.
"Hmph." Xin Lan turned her head away, too embarrassed to speak.
"You better go save Xue'er quickly, otherwise your plan won't be able to proceed," Han Yue realized at this moment. The words Xu Ran said to Xin Lan also made her face flush red.
"Wait a minute..." Xu Ran had a full plan prepared and whispered it into Han Yue's ear.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Han Yue's face turned even redder, but she nodded gently, agreeing with Xu Ran's words.
Being with Xu Ran and facing rivals more outstanding than herself was too much pressure without help.
Han Xue was her sister, the most important, and her special relationship with Xue'er would also trigger some different feelings in Xu Ran. Xu Ran, the kind of man who loved breaking free from worldly restraints, would surely find this exciting. As for her embarrassment, as long as Xu Ran was happy, what was there she couldn't do? Xu Ran had already become her everything. Herself, Xue'er, the future of the Han Family were all tied to Xu Ran. Even if not for her own sake, for the sake of her family, she had to maintain an even closer relationship with Xu Ran.
…
"A bunch of ants."
"But my snakes are in for a feast," a hint of excitement flashed in Xia Mang's eyes as he looked at the stunning beauty below, his mood soured by the scent of a top-quality woman that he couldn't have. If it weren't for the two Douhuangs of the Hong Family and the presence of Hong Chen, a Dou Wang Summit expert, he would have definitely liked to fight for her.
After all these years, he had never come across such a top-quality woman.
Just smelling that unique body scent was almost irresistible. Having seen many women, he knew very well that such top-quality beauties were rare in the world.
Not to mention the desire to stick one's tongue out. Especially when the fragrant sweat gets more intense with perspiration, the taste becomes even richer. The light acidity of the sweat mixed with the mellow body scent provided not just olfactory pleasure, but also a taste sensation.
And Han Xue's cold, even hateful and hostile gaze, was even more exciting. Imagine such a beautiful woman, wanting to resist but powerless, her pitiful and hopeless appearance was truly delightful.
In a flash, countless thoughts arose in Xia Mang's heart.
"Hmph. Elder Xia Mang, you should think less of those things. Some are not for you to covet," Hong Chen said, displeased with Xia Mang's look at Han Xue. Han Xue was already his possession, not for others to be greedy for. However, considering the women Xia Mang had harmed over the years and his high standards, the fact that even he was so greedy for Han Xue made Hong Chen feel like he had found a treasure.
Though he disliked others having desires for his woman, he enjoyed seeing them captivated. The former was annoyance, the latter, a wish to boast.
A peerless beauty could also elevate one's status, just like family background or talent. Having a peerless beauty by one's side could make others regard you more highly. After all, without something outstanding, it was impossible to obtain such a beauty. It was also a display of one's power.
"Young Master Chen is correct," Xia Mang hastily agreed, suppressing his evil thoughts. He dared not turn against these people.
"Who's there?" Xia Mang suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, as if someone was grasping his heart. With just a little effort, his heart could burst.
