Zhao Chuchu laughed. This little glutton!

‘You need to ask your brother about where we’re going to eat. Next time, tell sister Hui to bring you around for food. She knows the capital city better than any of us.”

“Bro, can I?”

Xie Jun looked at Xie Heng earnestly.

Xie Heng laughed and answered, “Of course, as long as you do your homework properly.”

“Okay. I promise! Sis, please tell sister Hui about this.”

“Okay.”

Xie Jun held Zhao Chuchu’s hand and happily went out of the door.

Xie Heng frowned slightly when he saw that. He walked forward and grabbed Xie Jun’s hand, then he said, “Walk properly. What if you fall down and pull your sis down?

Xie Jun pouted his lips. He knew that Xie Heng just didn’t want him to hold Zhao Chuchu’s hand. Humph! Selfish!

Xie Heng’s expression remained natural.

The horse carriage had already been prepared. It was parked outside the alley.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t expect the Third Prince to come and fetch them personally.

The moment the Third Prince saw Xie Jun, he spaced out for a second. A sense of shock and astonishment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid those feelings as his expression returned to normal.

Xie Jun was feeling a little shy because there was someone else present.

“This is the Third Heir…”

“Just call me Third Brother. There’s no need to be so formal.”

The Third Prince interrupted Xie Heng before he finished his sentence.

“Heir sounds so distant. Mrs. Xie saved my life before.”

Xie Jun looked at Xie Heng and saw him nod his head slightly. So, the boy said, “Third Brother, Brother Qiao, hello.”

“Long time no see, Junjun. Did you grow taller? You look a lot stronger as well,” Qiao Heting said with a smile.

“Brother and Sis treat me really well,” Xie Jun said, feeling a little embarrassed. “I also eat a lot.”

The Third Prince looked at Xie Jun. That strange feeling in his heart did not disappear for a really long time. Could this boy be his ninth brother? He wondered about it.

He had never met a child that could make him feel like this.

But the Third Prince hid all of these thoughts in his heart and didn’t show it at all.

He simply asked Xie Jun gently, “You said that you were sick previously. Are you feeling better now?

Xie Jun wasn’t sure why, but somehow, he felt an inexplicable sense of affection toward the Third Prince.

He nodded and said, “Yup, sis cured me. She’s a really good doctor.”

The Third Prince smiled and said, “That’s great.”

“Third Brother, are you ill as well?” Xie Jun asked. He was quite concerned for the Third Prince.

‘Yes. But I have almost fully recovered. I just need to rest for a while more.” “You can ask my sis to check it for you. She can even cure the plague.”

Xie Jun’s face was filled with pride. He was proud of Zhao Chuchu’s achievements.

“I did. Your sis was the one who treated me. I came here today especially to thank her.”

The Third Prince patiently explained to Xie Jun.

Xie Jun’s eyes widened. “How come I’ve never seen you before? But you seem just like my brother. I can sense that you’re a good person from the first moment I saw you.”

The Third Prince’s smile grew wider. He said, “Mhm, I’ll try my best to be a good person.”

Xie Jun smiled as well. “My sis said good people will be repaid for their kindness one day.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

Xie Jun was mentioning “sis” in almost every sentence. Zhao Chuchu felt that this was going to make his brother feel a little upset!

“Yeah. Good people will be repaid. That’s why I met your sis and my illness was cured by her.”

“That’s so good.”

The two of them had a rather meaningless conversation throughout the entire way.

Qiao Heting thought that maybe it was because Xie Jun reminded the Third Prince of his ninth brother, so he didn’t overthink their interaction. He started talking to Xie Heng about the murder case of Xie Chenglan.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chuchu was forced to join the conversation between the Third Prince and Xie Jun occasionally.

Fortunately, they arrived at the restaurant a short while later.

The eagerness to eat something good was written all over Xie Jun’s face.

The Third Prince looked at him lovingly.

Regardless of whether this boy was his ninth brother or not, he had decided that he was going to treat Xie Jun like his little brother.

It was very rare for him to meet a kid that could make him feel so happy.

Xie Heng didn’t want Xie Jun to eat too much, lest it might give him indigestion later.

But he couldn’t stop the Third Prince who ordered everything that Xie Jun wanted to try. There was no control at all.

Xie Heng was quite speechless.

But he knew how well the Third Prince treated Xie Jun. Such behavior was quite normal. The Third Prince met Xie Jun earlier than he had originally planned. Xie Heng had expected the Third Prince to pamper Xie Jun like this.

After today, the Third Prince would definitely change his plans.

It was only a matter of time before Xie Jun’s reclaimed his status.

Xie Heng could roughly guess the arrangements that the Third Prince was going to make.

However, right now, Xie Heng’s circumstances were the same as the Third Prince. They could not show anything on the surface. They had to pretend not to know about it.

Xie Jun was bought over by the Third Prince’s treat. He was starting to like his new “Third Brother” more and more although he didn’t really know who the Third Prince was.

After returning from the restaurant, Xie Jun kept pestering Zhoa Chuchu and asking her about the Third Prince’s condition.

Zhao Chuchu answered him patiently.

Upon learning that the Third Prince’s illness had already been treated and cured, Xie Jun finally felt at ease and went to wash up and prepare for sleep.

After dusk, Zhao Chuchu spoke to Xie Heng about the meal just now.

“Blood relationship is such a magical thing. They didn’t know who each other was, yet there seemed to be something guiding them to move toward each other. The Third Prince has probably started to suspect Xie Jun’s background, I think he’ll start investigating very soon. By the way, how many people know

that Junjun isn’t actually your brother?”
