The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1383 - 1382: Take Responsibility

"Our family hasn't offended anyone except the An Family, what big trouble could possibly happen?"Zhang Kexin's attention was pulled back, but she didn't really care about the matter.

"The An Family doesn't count? Then what does?"

Tang Rao couldn't fathom what was going on in Zhang Kexin's mind. She insisted Tang Rao tell her. No way! He hadn't used that medicine; how long does the poison last, what if An Sheng suddenly remembers how Tang Rao messed with him?

"Grandpa didn't tell me when he'd be back, so I have no idea."

Should've said so earlier!

Tang Rao wouldn't have wasted so much breath on Zhang Kexin.

"Zhang Kexin, you're really something!"

Tang Rao shouldn't have asked Zhang Kexin where the old man went, as he couldn't get anything out of her, he turned and left.

"Tang Rao, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Zhang Kexin called out to Tang Rao, getting so frustrated she was stomping her feet, but Tang Rao didn't notice.

"Nothing really, oh, but let me remind you, An Sheng still remembers he's pursuing you, so make sure you don't slip up and give him any chance to reminisce about our unhappy moments."

Tang Rao had to say these things to Zhang Kexin first; he could ensure nothing would go wrong on his end, but what about Zhang Kexin? Would Zhang Kexin dig a pit to bury Tang Rao?

"Is that it? Nothing more?"

Zhang Kexin asked probing.

"That's all. I have so many things to do, but if you're feeling lonely, I can graciously stay and keep you company for a while."

Chatting and holding hands, we are all good friends.

Doing shameless things is Tang Rao's favorite, these things should naturally be entrusted to him, he's a professional.

But given Zhang Kexin's personality, it would be strange to keep Tang Rao around; at most, it would be verbal sparring, and that's it.

"I'm lonely. You said you'd stay and chat with me, does that still count?"

The young girl tried her hardest to open her eyes, which were like little bells filled with hypnotic fragrance, hooking Tang Rao's footsteps, making him hesitant to advance or retreat.

"Sweetheart, I'm serious. Don't look at me like this. Even if you do, I won't be moved. I'm not interested in someone so young."

Tang Rao rejected Zhang Kexin outright, not because he wasn't interested in this woman; on the contrary, it was the first time he saw someone with such a perfect figure like Zhang Kexin's, the first time he realized there were lolis with such a large bust. But Tang Rao's principles told him this wasn't right!

What if Zhang Kexin just wanted to use Tang Rao as a way to refuse An Sheng, to make Tang Rao the scapegoat, where would Tang Rao complain about his grievances?

"I'm not young. The brothers and sisters in the Zhang Family say I have a good figure. Are your eyes blind?"

Zhang Kexin couldn't tell flattering words; just by looking, she knew her figure was better than most women.

Could Tang Rao really not see this?

"My eyes aren't blind, but I won't fall for your tricks."

Tang Rao made a funny face at Zhang Kexin: "Do you really think I'm a heartthrob, liked by everyone who sees me? I'm just an ordinary person, but you want to use me to ward off An Sheng; I'm not foolish to that degree."

Right, someone as smart as Tang Rao occasionally plays dumb, but when it calls for being clever, he can't let himself be used by a little woman, right?

After her plan was foiled, Zhang Kexin showed a face full of awkwardness. "I'm really too lonely. Grandpa isn't home, and the brothers and sisters-in-law all think I'm a kid, so they don't want to talk to or play with me. Seems like you're also disdainful, not wanting to hang out with me."

This, an Oscar-worthy performance?

One second she was talking calmly, the next she was putting on a crying act—Tang Rao had no clue where he went wrong, and that was the key point.

"Tang Rao, you're the only good friend I have around. Other than chatting with you, whom can I find?"

No, just talk, don't get touchy feely.

As Tang Rao was about to listen to Zhang Kexin's 'Hundred and First Story,' Zhang Kexin's hand climbed up to Tang Rao's shoulder.

"Tang Rao, I've always admired you. Since the first time meeting you, you were the object of my worship. Why are you never willing to accept my feelings for you?"

Pfft.

"Sister, let's just play, but don't joke around too much. Even if you praise me to high heavens now, I won't agree to being your shield."

Upon hearing there's no chance, Zhang Kexin realized that this matter wasn't as simple as imagined.

"Alright, I'll be honest. I don't like An Sheng, it's all one-sided from him. But given the connection between the Zhang Family and An Family, do you think I dare to break it to An Sheng that I don't like him, hoping he'll give up and stop thinking about being with me?"

That's certainly not possible.

"Of course! An Sheng is so nice to you. If you really tell him this, for your happiness, he'll agree to whatever you say, won't he?"

Tang Rao's teasing smile appeared without reservation on his face.

Zhang Kexin might not have seen An Sheng's true nature, so it's fine, but Tang Rao saying this knowing she did see it, was clearly to aggravate Zhang Kexin, wanting to rub salt deeper into the wound.

"Tang Rao, I find you're as terrible as An Sheng. Anyone with a bit of empathy would feel sorry for me and offer a hand to help the weak, but look at you, seeing a cute girl in trouble, instead of helping, you push me further into the pit."

Zhang Kexin thought long and hard, only to discover that's just Tang Rao's nature, but she hadn't thought of a sharper word to sting Tang Rao's soul yet.

"You're welcome. Getting you mad is an honor; I enjoy that we can keep having this connection."

Who'd want this kind of connection!

"One word. Will you help me or not?"

In her frustration with no warning at all, Zhang Kexin's chest buttons all burst open, revealing a whole section of bare flesh to Tang Rao.

If it's a joke, Zhang Kexin wouldn't play it this big—the only possibility—is a beautiful accident!

"Yes, for that piece of flesh, I'll help you all the way!"

"Ah—ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zhang Kexin knew it wasn't Tang Rao's fault, she was the one asking him, but the buttons broke and Tang Rao saw everything; Zhang Kexin couldn't not be angry, but she had to displace the anger onto Tang Rao.

"I didn't see anything just now, I didn't mean it."

Actions spoke louder than words; no matter how long Tang Rao explained, it wouldn't help.

"Well I didn't mean it either, but you dared to look, now you have to take responsibility for me!"

Zhang Kexin pointed at Tang Rao's nose, her rage reaching new heights.
