CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 102 I DON’T HIT WOMEN, BUT YOU MUST PAY ME BACK (6K)

It seems that doing business requires some sophistication. Take naming, for example. Qian Dafu is quite a conservative name, and his business isn’t doing well. Now look at Zhang Wanbao’s dad, Zhang Yifu—straight to the point.

Upon hearing that their young master has arrived, the cooking speed is top-notch, and the ingredients are unparalleled. Even the shopkeeper comes personally with a flattering smile to pour wine.

"So, what’s your relationship with Xiao Cancan?"

Zhou Qing ate a couple of bites and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Zhang Wanbao dismissed the others and sighed deeply.

"It’s an arranged marriage. Cancan’s dad, the current Mansion Master of Lingyun Mansion, Uncle Xiao, just managed to settle here thanks to my dad’s financial help to stabilize his position..."

As Zhang Wanbao recounted, the two were once again shocked.

That girl disguised as a boy is actually the Mansion Master’s only daughter?

Good thing Zhou Qing treated her to a meal; it could be considered a good deed formed.

Moreover, Zhang Wanbao and Xiao Cancan have been playing together since childhood, but it’s really hard to make a move on a familiar person. Cancan doesn’t want to marry Fatty Zhang at all.

She just wants to see the outside world, meet new people.

Yet, Fatty Zhang is head over heels for Cancan, telling everyone she’s his fiancée.

Not to mention, this is something approved by their families.

In the end, to avoid Zhang Wanbao, Cancan disguised herself as a boy and started to flee—it’s that simple.

"I don’t lack money. If I really wanted a woman, who knows how many would want to become my Dao partner? But I just like her. Even if she hates me, I like her!" Zhang Wanbao said earnestly.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, and the term ’simp’ came to their minds.

No, that isn’t the right way to describe someone so persistent in love.

To Zhang Wanbao, this love is quite pure, without any mixed feelings.

His spiritual world is the most fulfilled.

"Cheers to the warrior charging for love!" They raised their glasses.

Zhang Wanbao’s eyes lit up with joy.

"Thank you for your blessings, cheers!"

The three clinked glasses and drank, and suddenly, their bond strengthened considerably.

"I see you two are slightly older than me, so I’ll call you Brother Zhou and Brother Yan."

Zhang Wanbao didn’t have any arrogance or pride typical of wealthy youth; he looked quite humble and polite.

Of course, they were delighted to accept such a little brother.

Yan Xiaohu directly looked at Zhou Qing, saying, "Fourth brother, you’re good with women. Why not help Wanbao, our brother?"

Zhang Wanbao immediately looked at Zhou Qing, full of hope.

Zhou Qing was stunned and quickly waved his hand: "Don’t joke, Third Brother, I’m not capable."

"Brother Zhou, you’re so handsome. Girls must like you a lot. Please help me," Zhang Wanbao quickly stood up and toasted.

Zhou Qing was a bit embarrassed. After clinking glasses, he looked at his figure: "Have you ever thought about losing some weight?"

Zhang Wanbao immediately shook his head: "Can’t lose weight. It’s genetic. I’m already considered slim. You haven’t seen my dad; he’s like a meatball. Besides, I’ve tried many times, but I can’t lose weight. Even drinking cold water puts on two pounds."

Zhang Wanbao sighed deeply. It’s clear that he’s made a lot of efforts to pursue Xiao Cancan.

Zhou Qing nodded and quickly comforted him: "Being a bit chubby is good. Looks soft—you know, actually, many women like chubby guys."

Zhang Wanbao became happy again and subconsciously touched the fat on his belly.

"If it doesn’t work, you could use the last resort, playing hard to get!" Zhou Qing suggested after thinking.

Zhang Wanbao promptly asked, "How does playing hard to get work exactly?"

After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Qing asked, "Does she dislike you? Just in daily interactions, does she have that look of genuine disgust and disdain towards you?"

Zhang Wanbao scratched his head, puzzled: "What kind of look counts as disgust and disdain?"

Zhou Qing: "..."

"Alright, actually girls like to be jealous. The essence of playing hard to get is to do this, then that, and finally this..."

Listening to Zhou Qing’s plan, Yan Xiaohu was secretly impressed.

Their little junior brother has finally grown up and gotten a hold of human emotions.

Zhang Wanbao nodded repeatedly, then hesitantly asked: "Will this really work? If it fails, we’ll have no chance at all."

"Then, continuing as you are now, how do you think it’ll go?" Zhou Qing retorted.

Zhang Wanbao fell silent, pondered shortly, then suddenly slapped the table: "Let’s do it!"

Yan Xiaohu suddenly thought of something and quickly asked: "By the way, since you’re so familiar with Xiao Cancan, do you know where her good friend Su Wanli lives?"

Zhang Wanbao nodded. Of course.

Cancan’s likes and dislikes—he’s more clear about them than anyone and firmly remembers them.

"I’ll take you there. Maybe Cancan is there too!" Zhang Wanbao said.

Yan Xiaohu immediately smiled.

Li Shitao, you slapped me and conned me out of money. This isn’t over!

After eating, the group headed straight to the western part of Lingyun Mansion.

By the afternoon, they finally arrived outside a row of courtyard houses.

Moreover, a late-stage Golden Core servant flew inside quietly, and after a while, leapt out.

"Reporting to the young master, Miss Cancan and Su Wanli are both inside, along with some hidden guards!"

Upon hearing that Xiao Cancan was indeed inside, Zhang Wanbao immediately became excited.

"Let me handle this!" Yan Xiaohu directly stepped forward to knock on the door.

After several bangs, a wisp of Divine Sense probed out and quickly retreated.
