Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Shocking Secret
"Hmm..." Wang Hao couldn’t help but hum.
My goodness! This girl doesn’t know her own strength.
Qi Shihan suddenly came to her senses, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly let go of him.
Then she buried her face in Wang Hao’s chest.
At that moment, footsteps sounded at the door, and with a "creak," the door opened.
"Shihan, I’m here!"
Su Lin suddenly popped out from behind the door, wanting to surprise Qi Shihan.
But as she entered, she saw the two of them lying on the bed, and Qi Shihan was lying in Wang Hao’s arms.
"What, what are you guys doing?"
All three were stunned; Qi Shihan quickly snatched the potato chips from Wang Hao and got up to greet Su Lin.
"Lin Lin, what brings you here?" The two best friends hugged each other happily.
"I wasn’t doing anything today, so I thought I’d come over to hang out with you."
Su Lin said cheerily, then turned to look at Wang Hao.
"Big brother Hao, you’re here too."
"Uh, Lin Lin, Shihan asked me to help her study."
Hearing Wang Hao’s affectionate call, Su Lin’s face turned red, and she shyly lowered her head.
Thinking back to the scene she saw when she first pushed the door open, she had even thought those two were in love!
"Ah? Did I interrupt you guys?"
Su Lin felt somewhat embarrassed; she had heard how difficult the college entrance exam was, with many students studying hard for years just to get into a good university and bring honor to their families.
"No, no, I had just finished a test paper and was about to take a break. Lin Lin, I’m truly happy you could come and keep me company."
As she spoke, she pulled Su Lin aside to share some snacks and gossip.
Just then, Wang Hao, feeling thirsty, decided to go downstairs for a drink of water and give the girls some private space.
After drinking water and about to wash his face in the restroom to cool down from the earlier excitement, he suddenly heard strange noises coming from the toilet.
"Ouch, darn it, slow down!"
"Baby, I can’t wait any longer."
"You little rascal, let you taste the fierceness of your man!"
"Keep your voice down; there are people in the house."
"Haha, that’s what makes it thrilling."
...
Wang Hao tiptoed near the door, listening closely, still able to hear their whispers; a thought struck him—could it be Shihan’s mom having an affair?
Out of curiosity, Wang Hao sidestepped to the translucent glass door, through which he could vaguely make out two figures.
Of course, Wang Hao knew what they were up to, but listening closely, that voice sounded so familiar.
After finishing, the man embraced Zhao Xiaoling, fiercely kissing her on the cheek.
"You really know how to make it exciting; I never had to exert such effort with Liu Xiulan," the man said with a panting voice.
Liu Xiulan? Wang Hao was surprised—it was the village head’s second wife, Aunt Xiulan. Could it be Li Guang?
Wang Hao’s mouth hung open in astonishment, not expecting Li Guang, this old bachelor, to have such skills, not only having an affair with Aunt Xiulan but now even with Shihan’s mother.
This was truly a shocking secret; it was definitely not something Shihan could find out about, especially during a critical period in her studies.
"Ah? Really? Does that mean you’re planning to be with her once the village head’s gone?"
Zhao Xiaoling adjusted her breath and said shyly.
"Who said that? You’re softer and juicier than she is. If I’m going to be with anyone, it would be with you," Li Guang said, leering at Zhao Xiaoling.
"Then, husband, I want more!"
Zhao Xiaoling had long been deprived of such pleasure.
"Alright! Let your husband satisfy you to the fullest."
Wang Hao also couldn’t figure out why a beautiful and charming woman like Shihan’s mother would get together with Li Guang.
Though Li Guang was strong, he had always been single, and Wang Hao didn’t know what means he had used.
The sounds inside were particularly grating to Wang Hao, his body’s red dragon tattoo seemed eager to move, and he felt unbearably hot and flustered, so he undid his shirt to cool off.
Just then, Su Lin’s voice came from upstairs. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Big brother Hao, what are you doing standing there?"
Seeing Su Lin looking at him curiously, Wang Hao thought about how weird it must have seemed for him to be eavesdropping at the door.
He immediately tightened his clothes, afraid that the little girl would be scared if she saw his tattoo.
"Shh!"
Wang Hao gestured for Su Lin to lower her voice and quickly tiptoed to Su Lin’s side.
"What’s wrong, Hao brother? Your skin is so pale," Su Lin said bashfully, not daring to look directly at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was also curious; to his surprise, Su Lin didn’t seem scared at all upon seeing him but instead blushed and commented on how pale his skin was. Could it be she couldn’t see his tattoo?
Once he was sure Su Lin wasn’t joking, he remembered spending the night at Xia Xue’s house, where she never mentioned his tattoo from beginning to end. Wang Hao found it odd at the time, but now he finally understood everything.
His tattoo had really become invisible!
Or rather, only he could see the nine-dragon tattoo.
For him, this was definitely a good thing; after all, explaining his dragon tattoos over and over was exhausting whenever people asked about them.
"By the way, did you call me over for something?"
Wang Hao hurriedly changed the subject, worried that someone might stumble upon Shi Han’s mother’s affair. Besides, it wasn’t exactly something to take pride in, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
It was for Shi Han’s benefit as well.
Su Lin didn’t press further and simply said, "I’m going home now. Last time, I heard my dad say that the herb dealer he knows still needs herbs like that, saying that those rare herbs are quite valuable now."
"Really? Lin Lin, I happen to have a business idea to discuss with your dad. I’ll grow the herbs, and your dad will handle the market and distribution. We can divide profits based on our shares and make money together," Wang Hao said excitedly to Su Lin, his eyes filled with endless expectations for the future. Su Lin was also happy, knowing she would get to see Wang Hao often.
"Then it’s a deal, Hao brother. I’ll go home for now, and you should come over for dinner sometime!"
"Sure! Since our Lin Lin has asked, I’ll definitely come," Wang Hao joked.
Su Lin’s face turned red with happiness, and she trotted all the way home.
Watching Su Lin’s retreating figure, Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and grinned slightly; the little girl was amusing, blushing over a joke.
After sending off Su Lin, Wang Hao returned to Shi Han’s room and saw her still snacking without reviewing.
So he glared at her sternly and said, "All this slacking off, when are you going to finish studying and get into a good university?"
"Hey, I’m just taking a break!"
"I think you’re clearly just being lazy!"
Seeing that Wang Hao was serious, Shi Han didn’t dare to argue anymore, admitting to herself that she had indeed been slacking off.
Pouting, she sat down at the desk and got back to studying earnestly.
"Sit up straight, hold your head up, chest out. Don’t end up with a hunchback and nearsighted eyes," Wang Hao said as he gently pushed her shoulders back and lifted her chin, feeling the smooth touch of her skin.
Looking at Shi Han’s serious face, Wang Hao became thoughtful.
This girl was delicately made in both figure and features, and if she grew a few more years, she would certainly captivate many.
She would no doubt have many admirers in university...
Before he knew it, the afternoon had arrived.
Checking the time, Wang Hao felt it was about time to leave and bid farewell to Shi Han.
"Ah? You’re leaving so soon? I still haven’t had you check over this test paper for me," Shi Han lamented at the quick passage of time, feeling a bit unhappy to see Wang Hao go.
"What’s the matter? Going to miss me? If I stay another minute, your mom will charge extra," Wang Hao teased as he gently stroked her hair.
Shi Han didn’t mind the affectionate gesture at all and relished the pampered feeling.
Wang Hao also treated Shi Han like the girl next door, and thinking of her mother, he felt an extra pang of pity for her.
He said goodbye to Shi Han and went downstairs, where he saw Shi Han’s mother watching TV. He couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times.
Her face was still flushed, and her flattering features, like her rosy lips and delicate nose, hinted that the ’battle’ had only recently ended.
"Wang Hao, leaving already? Why don’t you stay for dinner?" Zhao Xiaoling asked politely.
"No, I’ve got some things to do, maybe next time," Wang Hao responded and left Shi Han’s house. Just as he was walking out, his phone rang; it was Sister Cailian calling.
"Sister Cailian, what’s up?"
"Haozi, can you come over to my place? I have something that needs your attention," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of crying, which made Wang Hao anxious, worried that something was wrong.
"Okay, I’m on my way!"
