Chapter 333: She Can No Longer Blame Other People

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xie Heng walked toward Zhao Chuchu, reached his hand out, and tapped on her forehead. He said, “Because you’re different from everyone else.”

Actually, it’s because Xie Heng felt that there was a faint, unique fragrance on Zhao Chuchu’s body. He could smell it immediately when she walked in. He could identify her without even turning to look.

Zhao Chuchu put her arm around his neck and said with a smile, “I’m not very satisfied with that answer.

“But it’s the truth.” Xie Heng touched his nose with hers and said, “No one can compare to Chuchu in my heart.”

He remembered everything about her.

“Da Lang, you’re getting better and better at talking. I’m starting to think you might have been possessed by a roaming soul!” Zhao Chuchu laughed and touched his face gently. She felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Xie Heng’s eyes could see her only, while his heart rate started to beat uncontrollably. “It’s getting late. Why aren’t you resting?”

“Because I miss you!” Zhao Chuchu said slowly.

It was just a few words, but it almost made Xie Heng toss out all of his self-control and rational mind.

Fortunately, he still remembered where they were, which enabled him to control himself, albeit just barely.

Xie Heng hugged Zhao Chuchu tightly and took a few deep breaths to calm down his heartbeat.

Zhao Chuchu could feel Xie Heng’s heart palpitating, as well as his breaths which were getting shorter and faster. She couldn’t help but blush a little. She didn’t think that a sentence like that could make Xie Heng lose control.

Since when was she so attractive to Xie Heng?

Zhao Chuchu remembered what happened when she first met Xie Heng. He was so cold and impassive. She thought that he might not have any interest in human interaction at all. Who could imagine that Xie Heng would be so intimate with someone someday?

Zhao Chuchu definitely didn’t expect this to happen.

After a long while, Xie Heng managed to calm himself down. He pulled Zhao Chuchu over to the table and sat down with her.

“Are you hungry?” Xie Heng asked, “Do you want me to make supper for you?”

“It’s quite late. Let’s not do all that. People might think that you’re doing something strange if they saw you! What do you want to eat? I have it all here,” Zhao Chuchu said with a laugh. She took out two bottles of milk and passed one to him. “My treat.”

Xie Heng laughed and took the bottle from her.

“I actually came back from the Kang clan, but I did miss you, which is why I came over to visit.’

“What happened to the Kang clan?”

“Xia Chengxuan and Kang Xiuwan almost got beaten to death by Kang Liang. I went to save their lives. Although I don’t like Xia Chengxuan, at least she listened to Kang Xiuwan and didn’t try to cause me any trouble. Because of that, I decided to do Kang Xiuwan a favor and save her life.”

“As long as you don’t feel guilty about it, you’re doing the right thing. Anything that anyone else says has nothing to do with you. Chuchu, regardless of the circumstances, I will be on your side unconditionally.”

“I can’t be considered a good person. I simply do what I want to do. One moment, I can watch someone die without doing anything, but the next moment, I might just change my mind and be a compassionate person for once.”

“Xia Chenguan wasn’t a hopeless person. She was still capable to think a little bit. If you feel that it won’t create trouble for you, it’s fine to save her. If she dares to create trouble for you in the future, I will deal with her.”

“She probably won’t. I just wonder how much of her potential can be released after being triggered by Kang Liang this time. If she survived this near-death experience and still doesn’t learn to protect herself, then she can’t blame other people anymore. I can save her once, but I can’t keep saving her forever.”

Zhao Chuchu told Xie Heng about the situation in the Kang clan in detail.

Xie Heng sneered and said, “The Kang Clan has always been creating an image of kindness and compassion to other people, but that’s just a facade. They always get back the money that they spent to help the poor from somewhere else. Compared to those bullies who do bad things outright, the Kang clan is actually more despicable and revolting.”

“Yeah, if they really are good people, how could that family behave in such a manner? Kang Liang has so many wives. Just the conflict between those women can already make the household extremely ‘lively’. Oh, right. Da Lang, Xia Chengxuan told me about the familial background of Chuchu’s mother.”

“At this point, we can’t hide it from other people. Don’t worry about the rumors spreading. I’ve made the necessary arrangements. If the Xia clan really decided to tell the world about your identity, it’s actually a good thing for you.”

“Are you not afraid that they might take the moral high ground and try to coerce me into doing what they want?”

“Chuchu’s parents have already passed away. As long as you don’t admit it, there’s nothing they can do to you. If they get real Xia Chenglan to come and look for you, it’s possible, but the Xia clan would lose all of their dignity and respect that way.”

“But that’s something that Xia Songquan would actually do.”

“So what? You still have me.

Zhao Chuchu turned to look at Xie Heng. His eyes were filled with gentle but firm determination under the dim lights in the room.

Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, “I know you’re here with me, but I’m not a softie that they can bully all they like. I won’t let them have their way.”

“Yup.” Xie Heng rubbed her head and said, “It’s getting late. Shall we sleep? We can talk about this tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Zhao Chuchu came over to meet Xie Heng so they could sleep together, in the literal sense.

Xie Heng’s bed was still warm from the heat of his body. The night was starting to get cold.

Zhao Chuchu climbed under the blanket and felt as if she didn’t want to move anymore.

Initially, she intended to talk to Xie Heng for a while more, but the strong sense of safety and security quickly made her feel sleepy. She fell asleep after a short while.

Xie Heng couldn’t fall asleep. He lay sideways and propped his head in his hands, so he could look at Zhao Chuchu’s sleeping face.

He could never get enough of looking at her in this state.

He saw the face very frequently, yet it wasn’t nearly as attractive as it was right now.

Xie Heng had seen the real Zhao Chuchu countless times in his dreams, but there was never a time when he could see her face clearly.

Sometimes, Xie Heng felt really curious about what Zhao Chuchu really looked like.

It wasn’t for any other purposes. He simply wanted to know everything about her.

Xie Heng thought that he would be able to look at Zao Chuchu like this for the entire night. But in the end, he fell asleep as well.

Zhao Chuchu was like the world’s best tranquilizer. Xie Heng had a good night’s sleep, which was rare for him.

The next day.

When Zhao Chuchu woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xie Heng did the same thing as last time. He didn’t get out of bed despite having woken up. He simply stared at Zhao Chuchu, which made her feel a little shy.

“Da Lang, how long have you been awake?” Zhao Chuchu tried to start a conversation to lessen the awkwardness in the air.

“I just woke up.” Xie Heng told a lie. He had been looking at Zhao Chuchu for almost half an hour now.

Every time he woke up, he couldn’t bare to move his eyes away from Zhao

Chuchu’s face.

“Let’s get up.”

“Stay in bed with me for a while more.”

Xie Heng reached his arm out and stopped Zhao Chuchu from getting up.

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

She didn’t know that Xie Heng had the habit of sleeping in.

“I just want to stay with you for a while more. After you leave here, I’ll have to wait for eight to 10 hours before seeing you again.”

“Eight to 10 hours isn’t that long!”

“It’s very long for me.”

Zhao Chuchu felt quite helpless as she lay back down.

Xie Heng turned his head slightly to envelope Zhao Chuchu in his gentle gaze.

He started to look forward to the day when the two of them got married for real.

Those things that he didn’t care about back then suddenly became so attractive that he couldn’t wait to have them.

People changed all the time!

Xie Heng hadn’t expected that he would become like that one day..
