Ma Xiaotao, You're Quite Clever at Sweet-Talking an Innocent Boy!

"Luochan."

Bai Luo took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted her with a smile.

Ling Luochan was older than him, so calling her Sister Luochan was hardly inappropriate.

At that moment, Ling Luochan's gaze fell on Bai Luo as well.

And then...

She felt even more unbalanced!

If Bai Luo had merely been delicate and adorable as a child,

then he now possessed an even greater visual impact.

Flawless features, eyes like the most beautiful emeralds in the world.

There was also the air of a refined young nobleman that naturally arose from his status as the younger brother of a God King.

As well as the affinity for life granted to him by the Medicine King martial soul.

With all these factors combined, Bai Luo's first impression on others was absolutely staggering.

He was the sort of person one found very difficult to forget after seeing him just once.

Ling Luochan was no exception.

As she looked at Bai Luo smiling and holding out his hand to her, a blush involuntarily surfaced on her pretty face.

The powerful visual impact suddenly made her feel a little dizzy.

Ling Luochan came from a good family.

She had seen her fair share of the world.

Since childhood, she had encountered quite a few exceptionally handsome young men.

For example, Dai Yueheng from the inner court, who did not get along with Ma Xiaotao.

He was undoubtedly a ruggedly handsome man as well.

But no one had ever given Ling Luochan such a shocking feeling before.

Before the Bai Luo standing in front of her, all those so-called "handsome men" Ling Luochan had seen in the past seemed utterly dimmed by comparison.

The difference was like fireflies before the bright moon, mayflies beneath the vast sky.

At that moment, Ling Luochan finally understood why those noble ladies and socialites were so fanatically obsessed with this little divine physician.

This face alone was simply impossible to resist!

"Hello. Just call me Luochan..."

The coldness on Ling Luochan's face began melting at a visible speed.

She revealed the demeanor of a shy young girl that Ma Xiaotao had never seen before.

She stretched out her small hand and took Bai Luo's outstretched palm.

At the same time, a trace of jealousy rose in her heart.

Why?

Why did Ma Xiaotao, that big-chested, brainless woman, get to have it so good?

Seeing her longtime rival enjoying such good fortune made Ling Luochan feel worse than if she had eaten ten bitter melons in a row!

The feeling was no different from someone you had never gotten along with in high school roaring up in a flashy Ferrari on graduation night, with a nine-out-of-ten beauty beside him.

Then, smugly telling you that he was coming clean—he was actually a billionaire and had only been experiencing ordinary life before.

These were all graduation gifts from his family.

If the bitterness in her heart could take physical form,

then Ling Luochan's bitterness could probably fill the entire Sea God Lake.

Fake!

It had to be fake!

She absolutely refused to believe that Ma Xiaotao could have it this good!

Ling Luochan frantically brainwashed herself inwardly.

Ma Xiaotao did not know exactly what Ling Luochan was thinking.

But she sharply noticed the fleeting trace of distress in her eyes.

She could not help feeling immensely pleased.

But then she noticed that, after taking Bai Luo's hand, Ling Luochan showed no intention whatsoever of letting go.

Her delicate brows immediately furrowed.

Bai Luo was a little awkward too, casting Ma Xiaotao a pleading look.

Ling Luochan's small hand did feel quite nice.

Soft and boneless, yet cool to the touch.

But he was not shameless enough to deliberately refuse to let go just to take advantage of her.

He had simply tried to pull away, but Ling Luochan showed no reaction at all and continued holding on tightly.

That left Bai Luo rather helpless.

He could not exactly force himself free, could he?

That would make things far too ugly.

Seeing that Ling Luochan truly had no intention of releasing his hand,

Ma Xiaotao could no longer sit still.

Doing this right in front of her, the "official girlfriend"—how was that any different from cheating in front of the wife?

She stepped forward.

She forcibly pried open Ling Luochan's hand.

Then she pulled Bai Luo's hand tightly back into her embrace, as though afraid it would be snatched away again.

Her crimson eyes glared at Ling Luochan, filled with fury.

"Ling Luochan, if you're that desperate, go find a toy and deal with it yourself!"

"What kind of behavior is it to keep holding someone else's boyfriend's hand?"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's blatant mockery,

Ling Luochan realized what lovesick behavior she had just displayed. Her little face, originally white as snow, instantly reddened like an apple.

It even seemed as if faint white steam was rising from the top of her head.

She knew her actions just now had indeed been indefensible.

But since the other party was Ma Xiaotao, whom she had always clashed with,

Ling Luochan instinctively refused to back down.

"Hmph."

"Who knows whether he's really your boyfriend?"

"Who's to say you didn't ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

Though Ling Luochan had only said that stubbornly,

she had hit upon the truth exactly.

A flicker of unease crossed Ma Xiaotao's face.

But she quickly suppressed it.

However, that change did not escape Ling Luochan's sharp notice.

Ma Xiaotao's reaction...

Could it be that she had actually guessed correctly?

Ling Luochan suddenly smiled.

She felt that she might have accidentally said something right.

Just as she thought.

Ma Xiaotao had shown no signs of being in a relationship before.

How could a boyfriend suddenly appear out of nowhere?

And one of such top-tier quality at that!

Sure enough, she had asked him to pretend!

At that moment, the knot in Ling Luochan's heart vanished completely, replaced by incomparable satisfaction.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Xiao Luo is my boyfriend. What pretending?"

Although Ling Luochan had hit the truth, Ma Xiaotao obviously would not admit it.

Watching the exchange between the two beautiful girls, Bai Luo was completely confused and did not understand the current situation.

"Sister Xiaotao, there isn't anyone else here. Even if Sister Luochan knows, there shouldn't be any of that trouble from before, right?"

It was over!

Ma Xiaotao slapped her forehead.

The moment Bai Luo asked that question, she knew everything was too late.

Sure enough,

the trace of uncertainty in Ling Luochan's eyes completely vanished after Bai Luo asked that question.

Heh heh heh.

If she had merely been guessing just now,

then she could now be certain that Bai Luo and Ma Xiaotao were not a real couple at all!

"What trouble?" Ling Luochan forcefully suppressed the urge to burst out laughing.

Calm down, calm down!

She had to maintain her composure. She could not lose her poise in front of a beautiful young man.

"It's nothing much."

Bai Luo briefly recounted what had happened at the outer court earlier.

"Sister Xiaotao came up with this idea to help me."

"But there's no one else here, so we probably don't need to worry so much."

Well, well, Ma Xiaotao.

After hearing Bai Luo out, Ling Luochan shot Ma Xiaotao a cold glance.

She had always thought this woman was big-chested and brainless.

Now it seemed she had truly been mistaken.

This woman was quite clever at sweet-talking an innocent boy!
