Xie Heng took a while to react. He followed her up by saying, “You were the one who threw yourself into my embrace. If I were to push you away, wouldn’t that be too outrageous?
Zhao Chuchu was overpowered by lust, but she was not daring. When she heard Xie Heng say that, she imdiately beca nervous.
“Can we do it next ti? I am not ready yet,” said Zhao Chuchu as she clenched her fists and pushed them against Xie Heng’s chest. She was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. She was overwheld.
Xie Heng was stunned. Then, he finally understood what Zhao Chuchu ant. While he did not know how to respond, his handso face beca hotter.
“Chuchu, that is not what I ant. I ant to say that since you ca into my arms, please don’t go and just let hug you, alright?” Xie Heng explained in a low voice. “I would not violate you suddenly.”
Although he was tempted, he at least had so self-restraint.
He wouldn’t act so flippantly with Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu misunderstood the situation. She imdiately wanted to dig a
hole and bury herself in it.
How did she manage to misconstrue that?
It was embarrassing.
“Iwant to get up,” said Zhao Chuchu. She wanted to escape so badly. She did not want Xie Heng to see her red face.
Xie Heng tightened his embrace and kept her in his arms.
“I am still a little drowsy. Won’t you accompany for a while longer? Just another half an hour,” said Xie Heng in a slightly coquettish tone. Zhao Chuchu could not bring herself to turn him down.
When a man who was usually in charge of everything during the day suddenly acted coquettish, who could resist?
At least Zhao Chuchu could not.
Moreover, Xie Heng’s looks matched her preference.
“Yuan Hui might see us,” said Zhao Chuchu, trying to turn him down even though she did not have a solid reason.
“We will wait for her to co then. Chuchu, don’t move. Do not overestimate the degree of self-control a man has toward his sweetheart,” Xie Heng said in a sowhat hoarse voice.
Zhao Chuchu tensed up.
She felt sothing that she should not have felt and imdiately beca obedient.
Xie Heng buried his head in her neck. He took a deep sniff of her scent, then he contently closed his eyes as he hugged her.
He only wanted to enjoy such a wonderful ti together. He did not want to be disturbed by anything else.
Zhao Chuchu thought that he was just using sleep as an excuse. To her surprise, Xie Heng’s breathing slowed down after a short while and he actually fell asleep.
However, she could not sleep. She was enveloped in Xie Heng’s aura. She did not even dare to move. She remained in the sa position, leaning against Xie Heng’s chest and listening to his heartbeat.
She had never been in such close contact with a man before. While she was not used to it, she also felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
It might be because the young man before her was her sweetheart. Hence, as long as she was with him, everything would be alright.
As Zhao Chuchu was caught up in her wild thoughts, half an hour passed.
Xie Heng woke up exactly after half an hour.
He rubbed his face against her hair and hugged her tightly. Forlornly, he said, “Chuchu, I should get up.”
“Alright,” said Zhao Chuchu reluctantly. Yuan Hui did not know that Xie Heng had co to Guangqing Province. It would be awkward if she saw him later.
Xie Heng did not pester Zhao Chuchu anymore. He quickly let go of her and got out of bed. He put on his clothes and simply washed himself up. He then walked to the bed and leaned over it. He looked at Zhao Chuchu and said, “I need to go first. If you have nothing else to do, why don’t you sleep so more?
Zhao Chuchu nodded in agreent.
Xie Heng bent down to kiss her forehead. He lifted a hand and gently traced Zhao Chuchu’s cheek. His eyes were full of hesitation as he said, “I will be off then.”
“Alright, be on your way. Yuan Hui will be here soon,” said Zhao Chuchu as she grinned. “Since when have you beco so indecisive?
Xie Heng smiled and replied, “I haven’t. I was just finding an excuse to look at you for a while longer.”
Zhao Chuchu touched his face and said, “When I get back, you can look at all day.”
“Indeed. Sleep so more,” said Xie Heng as he retracted his hand. He pulled the blanket over her and kissed her on her forehead. He then turned and left through the window.
Even Zhao Chuchu was not used to this clingy version of Xie Heng.
What had caused him to act this way?
He was not like this before.
Could he have encountered sothing in Imperial City?
Zhao Chuchu could not figure it out. Then, she unknowingly drifted off.
When Xie Heng woke up, it was just the break of dawn.
Zhao Chuchu slept till the sun was high in the sky. She only got up when Yuan Hui ca to call her.
The other side of the bed had no trace of the warmth of another person who had slept beside her. Yuan Hui did not suspect a thing.
“Shall we go out today? Weren’t you preparing to return ho? I want to get Junjun and Mr. Xie so gifts. Otherwise, they will be unhappy that I have kept you busy for so long,” said Yuan Hui. She looked radiant today, completely different from her previous dejected look.
“You seem different. Is it because of the heir of the Qiao clan?” asked Zhao Chuchu, finally getting the opportunity to launch her counterattack. “Soone is in the spring of love! Are you actually getting my husband and Junjun gifts? Or are you just getting yourself new clothes and hair ornants while you are at it?”
“Shut up!” said Yuan Hui as she stomped her feet, her face getting red with embarrassnt. “Don’t go then.”
She covered her face and ran out.
Zhao Chuchu smiled. She knew that Yuan Hui would be back.
After all, Yuan Hui liked Qiao Heting. Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell.
It was just that Yuan Hui did not dare to think about it, so she kept her feelings inside.
But right now, Qiao Heting had personally co to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. How could Yuan Hui possibly restrain herself anymore? Maidens experiencing their first love were the most daring!
Zhao Chuchu slowly washed up. Once she finished eating her breakfast, as
expected, Yuan Hui returned.
“Are you done? Can you accompany ?” asked Yuan Hui as she dawdled toward Zhao Chuchu.
“You didn’t give an answer,” said Zhao Chuchu, teasing her again.
Yuan Hui was fuming. After a while, she said with a red face, “Alright, alright. I admit that it is as you said. Satisfied? Good sister, won’t you help ? I am really nervous about it!”
“Alright, you can count on ,” reassured Zhao Chuchu as she patted her. “I will teach you how to do makeup that will take down a man when we get back.”
“Take down a man? Are we killing people?” asked Yuan Hui in shock.
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
“It’s makeup that is specially designed to enslave n. They will be enthralled by you. What do you an kill? I don’t even dare to step on an ant. How could I
possibly kill soone?
“If it were anyone else, they might believe you, but I don’t believe a single word. However, I trust in your technique.”
Yuan Hui had seen Zhao Chuchu’s makeup skills firsthand. She truly admired her technique.
“Let’s go.”
Zhao Chuchu dragged Yuan Hui and left.
In fact, Yuan Hui also had a good eye. However, when every maiden fell in love, they would easily worry about things and lose their self-confidence. Yuan Hui was facing such an issue. Moreover, her sweetheart was the son of Duke Ding!
While they were out, she could not decide for herself. Everything she bought was chosen by Zhao Chuchu. Whatever the latter chose, she bought without the slightest hint of hesitation. After all, the Yuan clan was filthy rich!
