“Then, how come Qiao Heting doesn’t know?” Zhao Chuchu asked. Xie Heng laughed lightly. “Because I’m better informed than he is.”
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 didn’t do anything after his rebirth.
“I know everything you did at the Xia clan, and it was well done.”
“I can’t believe you sent someone to spy on me.”
“No, it’s keeping an eye on the Xia clan since I know what you’re doing there.” Xie Heng scratched her nose. “I can perfectly trust you. I don’t need to spy on you.”
“That’s good, or I’ll be really mad.” Zhao Chuchu feigned anger, and after a pause, she added, “I want to go back in a couple of days. It’s no fun to stay in this capital.’
“What about the Xia clan? Are you sure you don’t want it in your hand?” “What do I need it for? I don’t want my hands stained. Moreover, I really don’t need what they have to offer.”
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.
“Do whatever you want to do. I will be there for you. We indeed don’t need anything from the Xia clan. If you’ve made up your mind, then I’ll do what I can to cooperate with you.” Xie Heng’s eyes were burning as Zhao Chuchu flashed in them.
Zhao Chuchu asked, “Would you think it’s a shame?”
“No.” 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 wouldn’t do anything to the Yuan clan.
“What if one day I want everything from you?” Zhao Chuchu joked.
Xie Heng looked at her as he said, “Everything I have is yours, and when I go back, I will give you everything I have.” “You’re not afraid that I’ll hold you back.”
“You won’t.”
Xie Heng was certain.
He believed in Zhao Chuchu as much as he believed in himself.
“Da 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.”
“In that case, I must have done something to hurt you. I probably deserve it.”
Zhao Chuchu was not short of anything and she was not an ambitious woman. If he didn’t go out of his way to challenge her bottom line, she wouldn’t have done such things to him.
And Xie Heng was convinced he wouldn’t do that.
“Someone once said that the better looking a woman, the more deceitful she is.
You might want to mark this, Da Lang.”
“Chuchu, are you really okay with me staying on my tiptoes around you? But I can’t. You’re the woman I love. I should always keep you in my heart without letting you feel any uneasiness or suspicion. That’s what I should do as a man.” 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.
“Da Lang, I really wonder if all those women in the past were blind. Why couldn’t they see how good you are as a man?”
The original owner grew up in the village since childhood, and it made sense for her to be tricked. However, a woman of Sikou Qin’s background shouldn’t be blinded to the truth. Rebirth was not going to fix anything. Not everything could start over.
Xie Heng was a bit helpless. “Chuchu, you’re overthinking again. No matter what thev think of me, Dersonallv, I like to think it’s all God’s Dlan.”
He suddenly came over and put the tip of his nose against Zhao Chuchu’s. “If it’s not the case, how would I have met you, right? So, let’s not talk about the past. Instead, let’s look forward and think about the future. Okay?” His warm breath touched Zhao Chuchu’s face, making her small face burn.
“If you don’t want to talk about your past, I’m not going to insist. But if you need a listener, I’ll be there. Chuchu, I want nothing else than to spend the rest of my life with you. You’re the one I want to cherish the most. You’re more important to me than anyone or anything else.”
“What about the world and me?”
“You!”
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 Heng’s 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 Chuchu’s mind went blank for a moment. She really didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Heng’s 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.
“Sorry, I, I couldn’t help it.” 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.
“Chuchu, I…”
Zhao Chuchu, however, abruptly wrapped her arms around his neck and interrupted him, “I heard that this should be the way you kiss.”
After saying that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Xie Heng, raw and clumsy, imitating the kissing she had seen before. Xie Heng’s eyes widened and his whole body froze.
But he quickly came to his senses.
It turned out that kissing could really make people’s 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 Chuchu’s red and moist lips, Xie Heng tried very hard to stop himself from kissing her again.
It seemed that he wanted to carve Zhao Chuchu’s face into his soul as he kept staring at her..
