The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me
Chapter 1755 - 1754: Looking for a Sidekick"Sister Zhou Zhou, outsiders always think you're arrogant and domineering, but little do they know how timid and conservative you are in private. If I were to spread the word, what would those suitors of yours, who are afraid of your temper, think?"
"But Ling Er, I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart. Why don't you take a soak, and I'll wait here for you!"
Zhou Zhou couldn't overcome her mental block, and no matter how much Ling Er coaxed her, she refused to back down even a step.
"This is so boring! How about I go take a dip, and you keep watch for me, how about that?"
The forest was really stuffy, and Ling Er couldn't stand the stifling heat. Even if Zhou Zhou didn't want to bathe, she had to go into the water to cool off.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for you. You go take a bath. If someone comes, I'll tell you, and you can get dressed underwater before coming up."
In the forest, Tang Rao held his breath as he listened to the two enchanting ladies talk about soaking in the hot spring. His face was practically about to drip blood.
Being too far away, he could only see their backs and not their faces, so he wasn't sure if he'd encounter a mysterious assassin.
He thought that since Central Island was a place of talented individuals, such a ridiculous situation as is found in novels shouldn't happen here.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, I never discovered this hot spring before. Suddenly finding it, I instantly fell in love with it."
Zhou Zhou hadn't even had a chance to advise Ling Er to check if anyone was around before she jumped in, regardless of whether anyone might see her naked body.
Suddenly, the scenery in the forest changed. The towering trees that had been blocking his view vanished, leaving the hot spring completely exposed. Tang Rao found himself right at the edge of the spring, having fully seen Ling Er's body. Zhou Zhou's face turned slightly unpleasant when she saw Tang Rao,
"Ah... ahhhh..."
Ling Er swam back and forth in the water, completely unaware of the situation outside, while Zhou Zhou and Tang Rao faced each other, unsure of what to say.
"Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Realizing that there was a man standing in front of her, Zhou Zhou charged forward and pinned Tang Rao to the ground.
"You… you want to assault me?"
Tang Rao was stunned. A woman he'd never met was embracing him, and this woman's body… was so soft… so fragrant.
"You lecher!"
Zhou Zhou swung her hand at Tang Rao, but luckily, his quick reflexes allowed him to dodge in time, avoiding the slap.
"I didn't do anything, nor did I know anyone was here. You suddenly appeared in front of me, and now you're hitting me? Is there no justice?"
Tang Rao felt extremely wronged.
"What do you mean we suddenly appeared in front of you? Clearly, we were here first, and you appeared in front of us. If anyone should feel wronged, it's us!"
While Zhou Zhou argued with Tang Rao, Ling Er had already dressed and emerged from the hot spring.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, was this guy watching me bathe just now? Did he really see me bathing?"
Ling Er circled around Zhou Zhou, persistently questioning her if Tang Rao had indeed watched her bathe.
"He might have seen, or maybe not. Later, I'll ask the Inspection Chief where this person came from."
At the embassy, one Inspection Chief didn't seem noteworthy in Zhou Zhou's eyes.
"The Inspection Chief oversees a lot of people. This man might be from some department under him; later, let's have him look at a sketch."
Hey, Tang Rao was still standing there. Why didn't these two let him explain for a minute before condemning him?
"Sister Zhou Zhou, it seems we already know this guy is useless. If he really falls into the hands of the Inspection Chief, especially with your special attention, he'd be lucky to escape with his skin intact."
Ling Er began to feel sympathetic towards Tang Rao.
"What should we do then, should we somehow make this guy take responsibility for you?"
The thought startled Zhou Zhou. For people of their status, marrying any man would stir up a storm.
It's not just about appearance; there are plenty of beautiful women, but wanting to stand at their current position without some backing is just improbable.
This casual remark from these two women was actually taken seriously by Tang Rao, making him stammer, "I didn't see anything. You want me to take responsibility? Does that mean I have to take responsibility for every woman whose face I've seen around the world?"
Tang Rao was quite displeased. He only ventured into the forest on a feeling, hoping for a serendipitous encounter. He didn't find any fortune, but instead got trouble from these two women.
"We can't control other women, but since my sister Ling Er has been seen by you, you won't leave this forest, let alone the embassy, unless you take responsibility!"
Zhou Zhou argued with Tang Rao for quite a while, still unaware that Tang Rao wasn't even from Central Island.
"Ladies, could you possibly speak some sense? I am a man with a family and children, lacking any outstanding traits. Please tell me, what exactly about me caught your eye that you want to twist things around and make me take responsibility?"
Tang Rao admitted that he's loved by all, admired by flowers, and considered the perfect male god by everyone. But he's only human; how could he possibly satisfy everyone equally?
The women at home already stretched him thin, adding one or two more would definitely cause turmoil in Zijing City.
"What do you mean, caught your eye and take responsibility for my sister Ling Er? It's your punishment. Someone like you? Better stop flattering yourself."
Zhou Zhou could see Tang Rao's wild imagination and immediately stopped his fantasy, bringing him back to reality.
"Ah? So you just want to get back at me, not expecting me to marry you, right?"
Tang Rao felt an immense weight lift off his shoulders, feeling joyously relieved.
"You? Thinking of marrying us? Hahahahaha."
Zhou Zhou said unceremoniously, "Do you know how many people pursue us? More outstanding men are everywhere. Why would we make him take responsibility except to have someone to do menial work? Can't you see that?"
Zhou Zhou persuaded Ling Er that such a good opportunity shouldn't be missed.
Ling Er wasn't foolish; her sister was already finding a way for her to gain an advantage, so she would follow Zhou Zhou's suggestion.
"Sister Zhou Zhou, you're saying… you want this guy to be my little follower?"
Zhou Zhou nodded straightforwardly, without denial.
