âThen, how come Qiao Heting doesnât know?â Zhao Chuchu asked. Xie Heng laughed lightly. âBecause Iâm better informed than he is.â
Zhao Chuchu thought about it and found that it was true.
As a man who had become a grand secretary in his previous life and supported the Wei Dynasty with his own strength, it would be strange if he didnât do anything after his rebirth.
âI know everything you did at the Xia clan, and it was well done.â
âI canât believe you sent someone to spy on me.â
âNo, itâs keeping an eye on the Xia clan since I know what youâre doing there.â Xie Heng scratched her nose. âI can perfectly trust you. I donât need to spy on you.â
âThatâs good, or Iâll be really mad.â Zhao Chuchu feigned anger, and after a pause, she added, âI want to go back in a couple of days. Itâs no fun to stay in this capital.â
âWhat about the Xia clan? Are you sure you donât want it in your hand?â âWhat do I need it for? I donât want my hands stained. Moreover, I really donât need what they have to offer.â
Considering what the Xia clan did to the original owner, if she took everything the Xia clan had, she would be too cruel and inhumane.
What she wanted was for the Xia clan to fall. She would knock those people off their high positions and make them feel what it was like to be treated like animals.
âDo whatever you want to do. I will be there for you. We indeed donât need anything from the Xia clan. If youâve made up your mind, then Iâll do what I can to cooperate with you.â Xie Hengâs eyes were burning as Zhao Chuchu flashed in them.
Zhao Chuchu asked, âWould you think itâs a shame?â
âNo.â Xie Heng shook his head. He had had enough powers and means.
In his previous life, as long as he wanted, the world could become his oyster. Moreover, the Xia clan was no longer what it used to be. They were pretty much counting on the wealth left by their ancestors, which he could care less about.
But the Yuan clan could qualify as a temptation to him.
However, considering the relationship between Zhao Chuchu and Yuan Hui and the fact that Qiao Heting was now proposing marriage to Yuan Hui, he naturally wouldnât do anything to the Yuan clan.
âWhat if one day I want everything from you?â Zhao Chuchu joked.
Xie Heng looked at her as he said, âEverything I have is yours, and when I go back, I will give you everything I have.â âYouâre not afraid that Iâll hold you back.â
âYou wonât.â
Xie Heng was certain.
He believed in Zhao Chuchu as much as he believed in himself.
âDa Lang, you have so much confidence in me. What if one day I stab you in the back? By then, everything you have done will go down the drain.â
âIn that case, I must have done something to hurt you. I probably deserve it.â
Zhao Chuchu was not short of anything and she was not an ambitious woman. If he didnât go out of his way to challenge her bottom line, she wouldnât have done such things to him.
And Xie Heng was convinced he wouldnât do that.
âSomeone once said that the better looking a woman, the more deceitful she is.
You might want to mark this, Da Lang.â
âChuchu, are you really okay with me staying on my tiptoes around you? But I canât. Youâre the woman I love. I should always keep you in my heart without letting you feel any uneasiness or suspicion. Thatâs what I should do as a man.â Hearing these words, Zhao Chuchu laughed out loud.
It was rare for a man to be aware of the fact that security was important to a woman.
âDa Lang, I really wonder if all those women in the past were blind. Why couldnât they see how good you are as a man?â
The original owner grew up in the village since childhood, and it made sense for her to be tricked. However, a woman of Sikou Qinâs background shouldnât be blinded to the truth. Rebirth was not going to fix anything. Not everything could start over.
Xie Heng was a bit helpless. âChuchu, youâre overthinking again. No matter what thev think of me, Dersonallv, I like to think itâs all Godâs Dlan.â
He suddenly came over and put the tip of his nose against Zhao Chuchuâs. âIf itâs not the case, how would I have met you, right? So, letâs not talk about the past. Instead, letâs look forward and think about the future. Okay?â His warm breath touched Zhao Chuchuâs face, making her small face burn.
âIf you donât want to talk about your past, Iâm not going to insist. But if you need a listener, Iâll be there. Chuchu, I want nothing else than to spend the rest of my life with you. Youâre the one I want to cherish the most. Youâre more important to me than anyone or anything else.â
âWhat about the world and me?â
âYou!â
Xie Heng did not hesitate.
Except for not being the emperor, he had pretty much owned the world.
No matter how much power he could get, it appeared less important than the person in front of him.
At least in Xie Hengâs opinion, this was the case.
Looking at Zhao Chuchu so closely, her scarlet lips had a great attraction to Xie Heng.
Xie Heng remembered the warm and soft touch of Zhao Chuchu when she kissed him, and it became so clear that a voice in his heart kept screaming, making him feel the urge to take over.
He did not let his desire get the better of him.
But the voice that told him to let go of Zhao Chuchu was getting smaller and smaller.
In the end, he managed to overcome his impulse.
Xie Heng closed his eyes and gently pressed his lips against the lips he had missed for so long.
It was just as mesmerizing as in the memory.
Zhao Chuchuâs mind went blank for a moment. She really didnât expect Xie Heng to take the initiative to kiss her.
She still remembered that Xie Heng was shy when she kissed him last time!
It didnât occur to her that he had changed after he was back from a trip to Imperial City.
Xie Heng was indeed new to this. He just pressed his lips against hers without taking any further action.
Zhao Chuchu was no better. Although she liked to flirt with Xie Heng sometimes, she knew little about the interaction between men and women.
Their breaths mingled together.
Zhao Chuchu clearly heard Xie Hengâs drum-like heartbeat.
He was nervous.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chuchu almost laughed out loud.
The fact that the former grand secretary was such a rookie in a relationship made her want to laugh.
She thought she might just find a treasure in him.
The two of them kissed for a while before Xie Heng let go of Zhao Chuchu.
âSorry, I, I couldnât help it.â Xie Heng was worried that Zhao Chuchu would be angry and immediately explained.
Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng and smiled.
Xie Heng felt nervous
He was worried that Zhao Chuchu was really angry.
âChuchu, Iâ¦â
Zhao Chuchu, however, abruptly wrapped her arms around his neck and interrupted him, âI heard that this should be the way you kiss.â
After saying that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Xie Heng, raw and clumsy, imitating the kissing she had seen before. Xie Hengâs eyes widened and his whole body froze.
But he quickly came to his senses.
It turned out that kissing could really make peopleâs legs buckle⦠That was the last thought that crossed his mind.
In the end, after both of them were about to lose their breath, Xie Heng let go of Zhao Chuchu.
Looking at Zhao Chuchuâs red and moist lips, Xie Heng tried very hard to stop himself from kissing her again.
It seemed that he wanted to carve Zhao Chuchuâs face into his soul as he kept staring at her..
