Stunning Dragon Wife

"What is this?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's pupils narrowed as he looked at the tattoo behind Chu Mingyue, his expression turning vigilant.

Because it wasn't just an ordinary tattoo; it was a totem with energy fluctuations.

His gaze swept again.

He then noticed on Chu Mingyue's right shoulder there was a moon pattern, seemingly a special mark.

"Chu Mingyue, who exactly are you?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was already prepared to make a move against Chu Mingyue.

"Ah?"

Chu Mingyue, with her back to Zhang Xiaoshan, showed a trace of coldness in her eyes and released a burst of killing intent, but quickly restrained it.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, aren't you asking the obvious?"

"Who else could I be but the star host of Ten Thousand Treasure House?"

"Hehe, do you think I resemble your first love? Many men have tried that trick on me; it doesn't work, you know."

Chu Mingyue turned around, watching Zhang Xiaoshan with a bewitching smile.

Others might really be deceived by Chu Mingyue, but Zhang Xiaoshan wasn't buying it.

"Hehe."

Zhang Xiaoshan let out a cold laugh.

He continued to press on.

"Would a true Gang Qi martial artist be content with being just a small manager?"

"You, you... you..."

Chu Mingyue's expression grew flustered.

"Wh-what Gang Qi martial artist? I'm just a weak woman, don't joke with me."

Chu Mingyue thought she had hidden it well, and that Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't have seen through her real cultivation; he must be bluffing.

She chose to deny it.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled at her.

"Hahaha, you're right, I am just joking with you. But, I am curious. With so many wealthy second-generation suitors wanting to pursue you, you clearly have the chance to marry into a rich family and become a socialite. Why would you be content being a mere worker?"

Hearing this, Chu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoshan was just bluffing.

"Hehe, you really know how to joke. Becoming a socialite in a rich family isn't as easy as it seems. Those men pursue me only for my beauty. If one day I lose my looks, they'd kick me out without hesitation. I don't want that kind of miserable end."

"I don't want to rely on a man for my livelihood. Even though I'm just a worker at Ten Thousand Treasure House, I earn my own money and spend it myself; I feel more confident."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled without saying a word.

Chu Mingyue's reasoning seemed flawless, but the more perfect it seemed, the bigger the problem.

A Gang Qi martial artist is extremely rare in today's society, not to mention Chu Mingyue is by herself.

With such power yet deliberately hiding it, isn't there a problem here?

Furthermore, with the Vermilion Bird totem and the moon mark on Chu Mingyue,

It made her even more unusual.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't plan to tear down the facade just yet.

Chu Mingyue must have a special reason for hiding at Ten Thousand Treasure House; surely it's for something.

He figured he'd wait and see, to find out what medicine Chu Mingyue was selling in her gourd.

Once Chu Mingyue's goal was reached, he would play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Soon, the car stopped at a large hotel.

Zhang Xiaoshan and Master Hei got out of the car, and Chu Mingyue left.

Sun Dazhi and the staff of White Dragon Pharmaceutical Factory were already waiting.

"Little Shan, you're finally here."

As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaoshan, Sun Dazhi immediately hurried over.

"Got held up by something. Let's head up."

The group went upstairs to a reserved private room.

Sun Dazhi repeatedly checked his watch.

"It's been almost half an hour. Why hasn't Lin's Pharmaceutical's people arrived yet?"

Sun Dazhi started to feel anxious.

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned.

The intent was obvious. The other party was deliberately late to give White Dragon Pharmaceutical Factory a tough time.

"Let's wait a bit; I want to see what Lin's Pharmaceutical is up to today."

Finally, after another half hour,

Several men in black suits entered the private room.

The leader was a long-haired young man under thirty.

Lin Rui?

Zhang Xiaoshan recognized him immediately.

It was the same Lin Rui who had a falling-out with him at Ten Thousand Treasure House over Wu Tong, the university's belle.

He was also Lin Yanran's cousin.

"Director Lin, you're here. Hello, hello."

Upon seeing Lin Rui, Sun Dazhi eagerly approached him.

He wanted to shake Lin Rui's hand, but Lin Rui ignored him and sat down on a chair.

"Huh?"

"Is that you?"

At this moment, Lin Rui also noticed Zhang Xiaoshan sitting opposite him.

"Kid, is that you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, Lin Rui's anger immediately flared.

He slammed the table and stood up.
