Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 38 - 37

Feeling the warmth from Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand, Lin Yanran inexplicably began to feel a bit flustered.

"You, you let go..."

She started to struggle.

Zhang Xiaoshan, who had been lost in wild thoughts, suddenly snapped back to reality.

He knew there was a huge gap between himself and a young lady like Lin Yanran; as things stood, he simply wasn’t good enough for her.

He felt a bit self-reproachful in his heart. Just now, Lin Yanran had helped him by publicly shaming the Wu family. How could he harbor such improper thoughts toward her?

"No, I’m sorry..." Zhang Xiaoshan let go of Lin Yanran’s hand.

"Thank you for helping me."

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward. Since they weren’t well-acquainted, Zhang Xiaoshan could only take the initiative to express his gratitude.

Lin Yanran’s expression returned to normal, neither distant and cold nor as lively and enthusiastic as she had been in the restaurant. She just smiled faintly and said calmly.

"You don’t need to thank me; I simply couldn’t stand by when I saw injustice. I really can’t stand those who look down on others with disdain."

"How did you know about the issue between me and Wu Xiaoru?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked with some curiosity.

Lin Yanran explained.

"I came looking for you and happened to see you arguing with them. I stood at the door for a while and overheard some of it."

"Anyway, don’t be sad. That kind of woman isn’t worth it."

Hearing Lin Yanran’s consolation, Zhang Xiaoshan actually gained a deeper perspective on this miss.

She had a sense of justice, a kind heart, and was considerate.

"Don’t worry, I’ve seen her true colors already and won’t be upset over her. By the way, you mentioned you were looking for me. Is there something you need?"

"Do you regret giving me 250,000? Should I give some back to you?"

"No, no, no, no..."

Lin Yanran hurriedly explained.

"It’s not about the money. I forgot to ask for your name, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find you later. But now I know your name is Zhang Xiaoshan and you live in White Dragon Village. Can you leave me a way to contact you?"

Lin Yanran’s enthusiasm left Zhang Xiaoshan somewhat puzzled.

A miss of her stature eagerly asking for his contact information—had his charm really reached such an overwhelming extent?

That seemed rather preposterous, didn’t it?

Lin Yanran, sensing the strange look in Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes, quickly explained.

"I, what I mean is, if, if you come across any good herbs, we can stay in touch. Forget it, I’ll be straight with you. I need a particular herb, and I think you may be able to help me."

"Need a particular herb?"

Zhang Xiaoshan became even more curious.

"Didn’t Wang Xiaolong say that you are a daughter of the Hundred Grass Group? What herb could possibly stump you?"

Lin Yanran explained with a tone of helplessness.

"It’s true I am the daughter of the Hundred Grass Group, but, not everything in this world can be solved with money, especially when it comes to rare medicinal herbs; they’re basically priceless."

Seeing Lin Yanran’s downcast and worried expression, Zhang Xiaoshan became increasingly intrigued.

"Tell me, what are you looking for?"

"Red Sun Grass, do you know of it?" Lin Yanran asked tentatively, her voice filled with uncertainty.

Red Sun Grass was seldom known to people, its rarity far surpassing that of two- to three-hundred-year-old Lingzhi mushrooms, almost on the brink of extinction, with no records in many medical texts.

"Red Sun Grass? Does someone in your family have a severe case of cold syndrome?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked back after a moment of surprise.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s response, Lin Yanran was filled with joy, grabbing his arm excitedly and saying.

"That’s wonderful, you know the effects of Red Sun Grass, so, you must be able to help me find it, haha, as long as you can tell me where to find Red Sun Grass, I, I will give you a great reward..." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

She was practically clinging to Zhang Xiaoshan, as if she were about to offer herself to him.
