The village beauty and me!

Zhao Yaru glared at him fiercely. "Stop being so conceited. Now that I know your sinister intentions, I'm even less likely to let you take advantage of me!"

He was mocking and cursing, but then he showed Chen Huan the screen on his phone.

It turned out that Zhao Yaru was hungry, and while ordering takeout, she asked Chen Huan what he liked to eat.

Chen Huan was disappointed and waved his hand, saying, "Let's just eat whatever's available. You know I'm not interested in food right now."

Zhao Yaru pursed her lips, her expression somewhat strange.

His shame and anger were mixed with a hint of smugness.

She knew perfectly well what Chen Huan wanted to do and why he was feeling depressed and had no appetite.

Isn't it all just lusting after your own body?

Being coveted by a capable man, and in a way that is unattainable, inevitably brings Zhao Yaru feelings of joy and superiority.

Thinking of all this, Zhao Yaru simply put on her thin pajamas and sat down close to Chen Huan.

She gracefully crossed her legs, leaned against Chen Zheng, and ordered takeout.

Zhao Yaru did it on purpose; she wanted Chen Huan to see and smell it but not be able to eat it.

She was currently enjoying this state of whetting Chen Huan's appetite and watching his embarrassed and angry expression.

Chen Huan knew perfectly well what was going on, and was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.

Having become so familiar with Zhao Yaru, he really couldn't resort to any forceful or unconventional methods.

After finishing his meal, Chen Huan found a room to rest.

Zhao Yaru returned to her room, completely satisfied.

Nothing was said that night, and the next morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen Huan ended his cultivation state. Recently, he had had more and more opportunities to cultivate with others, and the frequency of these cultivations had also increased, so his cultivation level had indeed improved a lot.

  

He could even vaguely sense that he had begun to touch the threshold to the second level of the Heavenly Realm.

If we could have another exhilarating dual cultivation session, we might actually find a breakthrough opportunity.

Such a powerful technique is incredibly beneficial even at its first level; if one could advance to the next level, the benefits would surely be even greater.

Since receiving the inheritance, Chen Huan has become increasingly convinced of the importance of strong strength.

My life seems stable on the surface, but it is actually fraught with crises.

At least the Ma family in Dongjiang City is now a big problem.

Although things have been calm these past two days, this is probably just the calm before the storm.

Chen Huan had a premonition that the Ma family's even fiercer retaliation would soon follow.

Before that, I need to accelerate the improvement of my strength as soon as possible, which is very important.

Outside the door, Zhao Yaru was calling Chen Huan to get up.

Thinking about the embarrassment he felt last night, Chen Huan really didn't want to face her.

He forced himself to open the door, only to find that Zhao Yaru's attitude and expression had changed drastically compared to the previous night.

They even displayed unprecedented politeness and ingratiation.

Zhao Yaru was wearing home clothes with an apron tied around her waist.

At this moment, she was smiling at Chen Huan, standing at the door as if to welcome him as he got up.

"Zhao Yaru, what are you doing?"

"Cosplay? I won't fall for it again." Chen Huan's eye twitched.

This was the first time he had seen Zhao Yaru in this state, but undeniably, she was much more pleasing to the eye than he had ever seen her before.

It even has an added touch of temptation.

The habitual teasing and mockery led them to believe that the other party would definitely become angry and lose their guard, and might even resort to violence.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yaru was still smiling and even told Chen Huan, "I've squeezed toothpaste and prepared toiletries for you in the bathroom."

"After you brush your teeth, you can try my cooking."

Chen Huan stared in disbelief, scratching his head as he asked, "Are you really Zhao Yaru?"

"Or perhaps you're Zhao Yaru's twin sister?"

Zhao Yaru pursed her lips. "What, you can't stand it when I treat you well?"

"Go wash up quickly, dinner will be ready soon."

After saying that, she turned around and walked briskly into the kitchen.

Indeed, a clanging sound, similar to chopping vegetables, could be heard coming from inside.

"Are you really good at it or not?" Chen Huan pinched her face hard.

He wondered if he was dreaming.

However, he soon realized that anyone who offered unsolicited kindness was either up to no good or a thief.

Zhao Yaru's sudden change of attitude, her fawning over me and even cooking for me, must have been part of something.

After quickly washing up, Chen Huan sat down at the dining table.

At this moment, Zhao Yaru came out with a tray in her hand and a smile.

Chen Huan had originally thought that Zhao Yaru could cook a few dishes.

When they arrived, all they found were two bowls of noodles, and they were instant noodles at that.

"Is this the meal you spent all day making?" Chen Huan couldn't help but mock.

Zhao Yaru looked embarrassed. "I'm doing pretty well. At least I chopped some scallions and poached an egg in it. Eat it while it's hot."

Fortunately, Chen Huan is not picky about food and finished the noodles in no time.

At this moment, he noticed that Zhao Yaru hadn't touched her share at all, but was instead resting her chin on her hand and staring straight at him.

"Tell me, what kind of conspiracy awaits me?"

"This bowl of instant noodles definitely wasn't eaten for nothing, right?" Chen Huan asked casually, leaning back in his chair.

Zhao Yaru's expression became even more embarrassed. She leaned closer to the table and slowly said, "Actually, I wanted to apologize for my attitude towards you last night."

"No matter what, you saved my daughter's and my life. I shouldn't have treated you so badly."

Chen Huan snorted, "I'll give you one last chance. Let's get down to business."

"If this is still just empty talk, then I'd better go back."

"Dongjiang City is a heartbreaking place, and I don't want to stay here any longer."

Zhao Yaru smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "I'd like you to come with me to the company; there's been a little trouble there."

"Besides you, I doubt anyone else can help."

Chen Huan rubbed his nose. "About company matters?"

"You know I'm not very educated, and I know absolutely nothing about doing business."

"I'm afraid I can't help with this kind of thing."

Zhao Yaru got up and moved to sit next to him, reaching out to take his arm and gently shaking it.

She said, almost in a coquettish tone, "You are the most capable man I know, without a doubt."

"This matter is truly within your capabilities."

"Anyway, the company isn't far away. Since you're already here, please help me out."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Is there any benefit?"

Zhao Yaru's movements suddenly stiffened. "You, you're not going to make those kinds of demands, are you?"

Chen Huan grinned. "What do you take me for?"

"Am I the kind of person who tries to cheat others?"

Zhao Ya stared intently at him. "Isn't that right?"

Chen Huan rubbed his nose. "You have a deep misunderstanding about me. I'm not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone else's situation."

"But I really don't like being used by you time and time again."

"How about this, let's make a three-point agreement?"
