273 He Was a Henpecked Husband
Xie Heng could only try to keep himself from hurting Zhao Chuchu as much as possible.
The reason was that he was worried about the matters he could not anticipate when things got out of control.
“Da Lang, it’s not easy to hurt me.” Zhao Chuchu pinched Xie Heng’s face. “I won’t give you that chance either, so don’t worry. Will you be unhappy if I say this?”
Xie Heng shook his head. “No. The Xia clan won’t have time to trouble you for a while, and you can have some peace in Guangqing Province.”
!!
“I thought before that, Xia Chengxuan and her daughter would pass my whereabouts to the Xia clan.”
“Xia Chengxuan should have had this idea, but it was rejected by Kang Xiuwan.”
Zhao Chuchu was a little surprised.
“You mean that Kang Xiuwan actually stopped Xia Chengxuan?”
“A bad mother can even give birth to a good daughter. Kang Xiuwan is sensible and not as confused as Xia Chengxuan.”
“It seems that Kang Xiuwan has some conscience, and not all members of the Xia clan are so shameless.”
“Kang Xiuwan’s life in the Kang clan is not easy. She may be thinking from your point of view and does not want you to suffer so much.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “I’ll keep this favor in mind.”
It wasn’t a big deal, and she wasn’t afraid of the Xia clan. Still, it was good that there were fewer annoying flies to harass her, more or less leaving her peace.
“You don’t need to get so close to Kang Xiuwan. She has the Kang clan behind her, so there are some things she can’t do even if she wants to.”
“I know.”
She owed Kang Xiuwan a favor, not the Kang clan.
These were two different things.
Besides, she had a bad impression of the Kang clan.
“Are you hungry? I’ll cook something delicious for you.”
“No need to do that outside, or else your men will see it. You’ll be so embarrassed.”
Zhao Chuchu made a snicker.
“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. This will let them know who their mistress is. If they are served for you one day, they will not disobey you.”
Xie Heng didn’t care about this at all.
As a man who had experienced everything, the rare destiny was what he wanted to cherish more.
“That’s fine. I’ll order the food.” Since Xie Heng had said so, it would be too pretentious if Zhao Chuchu was polite to him.
Xie Heng smiled and wrote down the dishes Zhao Chuchu wanted to eat. Then, he sent someone out to buy food.
Xie Heng’s men were stunned.
They could not believe that Xie Heng could be so easygoing.
They didn’t know that he was a henpecked husband.
They kept exclaiming in their hearts.
Of course, all these were conveyed by their brief eye contact. They did not dare to say it out loud, let alone tease Xie Heng.
That was because the young man in front of them was not as harmless as he appeared to be.
He didn’t even blink when he killed people.
While the people went out to buy food, Xie Heng went to the back kitchen to cook rice.
From time to time, the people outside would pretend to be busy and pass by the kitchen to secretly see what Xie Heng was doing.
At first, they doubted if Xie Heng could really cook.
But when the smell of dishes wafted out from the kitchen, they suddenly felt hungry and even expected that they could have a meal cooked by Xie Heng today.
Unfortunately, their expectations were destined to be dashed.
They didn’t even have a chance to try to taste Xie Heng’s cooking because Xie Heng chased them out.
He wouldn’t let them stay and be an eyesore.
The others were speechless.
They thought, “Well, it’s not easy for Mr. Xie to fall in love with someone and know how to treat his wife well. So, we’d better not delay him.”
After all, such a Mr. Xie was more approachable and no longer as cold as before.
“Hey, where are those men of yours?” Zhao Chuchu came out of the room and found the house empty.
“They had other things to do and went out,” Xie Heng said calmly. “Help me bring a plate over. We can have dinner right away.”
Zhao Chuchu did not doubt it. Seeing the colorful and delicious meal, she instantly felt hungry.
“Da Lang, your cooking skills are getting better and better.”
“I’m happy to hear that.”
“Why?”
“You’re complimenting me.”
“There are many people who compliment you.”
“But you’re not like others.”
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh again.
It was easy for Xie Heng to please a person.
...
He was too good at talking.
Zhao Chuchu was glad that she hadn’t met an old-fashioned nerd who could only read by rote.
Otherwise, she would have run away immediately without looking back.
Xie Heng knew well how to respect others.
He helped Zhao Chuchu with the food before he ate. He picked out the bones from the fish for Zhao Chuchu and put the flesh in a clean bowl. Then he handed it to Zhao Chuchu so that Zhao Chuchu could eat without any worries.
Zhao Chuchu enjoyed Xie Heng’s care like this.
“Da Lang, I feel like a loser every time I eat with you. But I’m also an excellent food chugger.”
“Food chugger?”
“It refers to someone who can eat a lot.”
“Chuchu, why can you always say so many funny words?”
“I’ll take that as a compliment. Alright, you eat some too. Don’t just serve me food.”
...
Zhao Chuchu picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and served dishes to Xie Heng.
“Okay.”
The atmosphere of the two eating was relaxed and warm.
In the end, Zhao Chuchu ate those meals cleanly all by herself, rubbing her round belly and leaning back in the chair without even wanting to move.
“Da Lang, I’ll be fed fat by you sooner or later.”
“You work so hard, so you won’t get fat, You should eat more to have energy. If you’re really worried, I’ll teach you to fight when we get back, and I guarantee you won’t get fat.”
“Great.”
Zhao Chuchu did not care if she would get fat or not. What was important was that Xie Heng would teach her to fight.
She would not miss the opportunity to interact with Xie Heng.
After all, being ambiguous was important in a relationship.
Being ambiguous was the most beautiful thing.
Besides, almost all heartwarming moments were in an ambiguous period.
“You sit for a while. I’ll clean up the place first.”
But how could Zhao Chuchu let Xie Heng do everything?
So, she got up to help. Their hands reached for a plate at the same time and touched.
Zhao Chuchu subconsciously looked at Xie Heng.
Meanwhile, a hint of joy flashed across Xie Heng’s eyes.
The two withdrew their hands at the same time and reached for another bowl unintentionally, touching each other again.
Xie Heng quickly grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s hand. “I’ll do it. You just take a break.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled. “Is this a tacit understanding between us?”
“Yep.” Xie Heng’s smile intensified. “Go and sit for a while.”
“Well, thank you, Da Lang.” Zhao Chuchu didn’t insist on helping Xie Heng again.
Looking at the way Xie Heng worked, Zhao Chuchu felt he looked handsome in whatever he did.
The scene looked like a painting even though Xie Heng was just cleaning up the dishes.
Xie Heng noticed that Zhao Chuchu’s gaze was on him and couldn’t help but smile.
“Da Lang, don’t cook for other girls in the future!” Zhao Chuchu admonished, “Remember, you can only cook for me.”
A talented and handsome man with good cooking skills was very popular.
Although Zhao Chuchu had no interest in competing with others for men, she would be very cranky if others targeted her man.
After all, the people who had snatched her things were dead, and she couldn’t guarantee that she would have the sanity to control herself.
It would not be worth it if something did go wrong, so Xie Heng should be strictly prevented from getting involved with other women outside to eliminate all possibilities.
