Although Xie Heng was able to recover from the surprise quickly, the words that Zhao Chuchu had said still rang inside his empty mind.
There was no response from the man, prompting Zhao Chuchu to turn her head to look at him. She was shocked to see that his face was completely red and grinned. “Are you blushing, Da Lang?”
Xie Heng blinked and smiled. “Isn’t that something I’m supposed to ask instead?”
Even after spending such a long time with Zhao Chuchu and having her take the initiative all the time, Xie Heng was still unused to it.
“Why does it matter? It’s the same thing.” Zhao Chuchu chuckled. She then approached Xie Heng and whispered, “Do you not want me to go?”
“Of course!” Xie Heng replied without even thinking twice.
Ever since he got used to having Zhao Chuchu sleep next to him, he did not want to experience lying on a bed alone again.
Even if they were just lying on the bed doing nothing, that alone could already bring Xie Heng a lot of satisfaction. That satisfaction was something that could not be replaced.
“But, Junjun won’t bother you with those questions again.” Zhao Chuchu gently flicked the man’s nose.
He could immediately feel his nose turning red.
When the lady who aroused the man was ready to turn to leave, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms.
He hugged the lady tightly as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The hint of sweet aroma that lingered around her was making him lose control. “Chuchu, can you stay by my side forever?” the man softly whispered. “Don’t ever leave me.”
Zhao Chuchu could feel her heart starting to race. “Alright. I will always be with
you.”
As long as Xie Heng didn’t do anything that would go against her principles, there was nothing that she could not accept.
The man was pretty much her type, ticking every box there was about the perfect man in her mind. She was sure it would be almost impossible for her to find a man like Xie Heng who could make her heart race again.
“We’ll always be together.”
“I know we will.”
Xie Heng was reluctant to let go of Zhao Chuchu and continued to hug her.
They were then suddenly interrupted by footsteps that were getting close to them. Xie Heng was forced to let go of Zhao Chuchu.
“Someone’s here,” he said.
Zhao Chuchu noticed that they had a guest earlier than him.
She could even tell from the sound of the footsteps that the guest was Zhao Meilan.
Zhao Meilan’s wedding was basically decided just before Zhao Chuchu had left.
After going through all the preparations, she was now a bride-to-be. Zhao Meilan did not open the door immediately but knocked on it first.
“Come on in,” Zhao Chuchu responded.
Zhao Meilan pushed the door opened and entered the room with a basket in her hand.
A happy smile appeared on her face the moment she saw Zhao Chuchu.
“Chuchu, Mr. Xie.”
“What brings you here? Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for the wedding? Isn’t it happening in a few days?” Zhao Chuchu teased.
Zhao Meilan blushed. “I heard that you guys are back, so I came to visit…”
She then put the basket on the table and said, “These are some snacks I just made. I hope you guys will like it.”
“Thank you,” Zhao Chuchu replied and removed the cloth covering the top of the basket. She realized inside the basket were all the snacks she had once mentioned to Zhao Meilan.
She was surprised that Zhao Meilan actually made all of them.
Zhao Chuchu tried one of the snacks and was surprised that it tasted almost the same as she had remembered.
“This is amazing! I’ve only described these to you, and you actually made them!” Zhao Chuchu complimented. At the same time, she also felt like God was making fun of her cooking skill.
“I actually failed a few times before getting it right. I’m glad that you like it! ” Zhao Meilan beamed.
After a few exchanges, Xie Heng decided to leave the room so the two ladies could have a more comfortable conversation.
“Are they still causing you trouble?” Since Old Madam Ma and her sons had all been sent to the mine, it would be years before they could return to trouble Zhao Guitang and his family again. The people she was referring to now were the maiden family of Old Madam Ma.
“They are, but the chief has been helping us a lot. There’s nothing much they could do.” Zhao Meilan nodded. “Zhao Meijuan was the one who rejected this marriage. Why do I have to feel bad when I didn’t do anything?”
“It’s good that you can think this way.” Zhao Chuchu was glad.
She was initially worried that Zhao Meilan was too kind and would feel bad for doing that to Old Madam Ma. It would’ve led to her being used by Old Madam Ma again in the future.
However, judging from how much she had changed, there was nothing much for Zhao Chuchu to worry about.
“My dad’s legs have healed, and the tofu business is growing by the day. They tried to take advantage of us, but my parents are completely disappointed with them now and won’t let them do what they want anymore.”
“What about the Hu clan?”
“They have confirmed that even if I cut ties with them, the clan would not consider my action disrespectful. In the end, they were the ones who offended the Hu clan and us first. We are in the right here..”
