"Fanzi, take a seat first, I'll be right out after I finish up with this woman."

In a shop at the Herb Market, the middle-aged Boss Zhou winked at Yang Fan, a vendor who came to sell herbs, before ducking behind the curtain into the back room.

The moment the curtain was drawn back, a glimpse of pale flesh flashed before Yang Fan's eyes.

It was a woman with long hair, very white skin.

Around her neck hung a necklace with a green gemstone, though it was unclear whether it was real or fake.

She lay on the bed, her head lowered playing with her phone, the blanket resting at her waist, her full, snow-white breasts quivering, about to fall.

As Boss Zhou opened the curtain, she hastily grabbed the blanket to cover her exposed charms, her eyes flitting nervously outside, just to meet Yang Fan's gaze.

Yang Fan quickly looked away, a ripple of emotion surging in his heart.

This woman, not only did Yang Fan know her, but he was also very familiar with her.

Her name was Wu Xuelan, from their village.

By the older generation's reckoning, they were even distantly related, so when Yang Fan saw her, he should have called her "sister-in-law."

Her husband worked in labor dispatch and had been away from home for years, and rumors were that in recent years, he was providing less financial support.

Wu Xuelan often went to the city to do odd jobs to augment the family income.

At just over thirty, she was very attractive, with an oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows, somewhat famous as a younger married woman in the vicinity.

But Yang Fan had never expected her to be involved with Boss Zhou, a married man.

As Yang Fan's thoughts were running wild, a low voice came from inside the curtain, "Could you ask him to leave first? How are we supposed to do this?"

"Just do it as it should be done. What's there to fear if Fanzi knows about this? Hurry, hurry, the medicine's kicking in. Stick your butt out; I feel this position is good, it will definitely be comfortable," Boss Zhou said with a touch of urgency.

Wu Xuelan pursed her lips, her voice firm, "No, if you do that, I'm leaving!"

Though she longed for a man, she was too embarrassed at this moment!

Outside, Yang Fan listened attentively to the exchange and began to understand the situation.

It seemed like this was the first opportunity for the two to be together, and now with him there, Wu Xuelan was feeling embarrassed.

As Yang Fan pondered, he noticed a red BMW car stopping by the roadside.

He recognized the car well; it belonged to Zhu Shanshan, Boss Zhou's wife.

Because of their long-standing collaboration, Yang Fan had become friends with both of them.

At first, Yang Fan did not grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Only after Zhu Shanshan, dressed in a black hip-hugging skirt, carrying a small bag, and swaying seductively, stepped out of the car did he suddenly realize the gravity of the moment and hastily yelled into the back room: "Old Zhou, your sister-in-law is here."

"Damn!" Inside, a muffled curse from Boss Zhou.

In less than three seconds, Boss Zhou, holding up his pants, rushed out from the back.

As he clumsily put on his clothes, glancing anxiously toward the glass door, he muttered, "Didn't this woman say she was going shopping with her sisters today? How come she's back so soon?"

Yang Fan said, "Old Zhou, you better tidy up fast; I'll go stall your sister-in-law."

Boss Zhou, looking rather pale, shook his head and said anxiously, "The problem is I have nowhere to hide her here, and stalling won't help. Just wait, let me think, think..."

"Stop thinking; if you keep at it, your sister-in-law is going to come in," Yang Fan said, about to head out the door.

"Wait!"

"Fanzi, only you can help me out this time. If you get me through this, I'll raise the price for all your goods by ten percent from now on, alright?" Boss Zhou suddenly intercepted Yang Fan, pleading urgently.

Yang Fan couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm about to go help you, aren't I?"

"No, what I mean is for you to go inside and deal with that woman, and I'll go stall your sister-in-law. You take the fall for this," Boss Zhou quickly said.
