233 All Were Hers

“Then it looks like I’ll have to wait for the day you retire.”

“Retire?”

“Well, that is, to complete all the work and then resign from the job.”

“To retire is an interesting expression.”

!!

It seemed more understandable for Xie Heng than retirement.

Zhao Chuchu wrapped her arms around Xie Heng’s shoulders and winked. “Da Lang, I’ll be waiting for you then.”

Xie Heng felt the heat run up his cheeks and did not dare look directly at Zhao Chuchu. “Okay!”

“I’ll see if there are any signs of poisoning in other places. I can’t die before your retirement.” Zhao Chuchu let go of Xie Heng and turned around to check other places.

Xie Heng took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat.

Zhao Chuchu could always stir up his emotions easily, and he would lose the self-control he was so proud of.

Zhao Chuchu checked the house inside and out and found nothing else except for what she had found next to the water tank.

It seemed that the Third Prince’s people were more powerful. Otherwise, how did the Great Prince not get any advantage?

Zhao Chuchu even found a bloodstain.

But the house was cleaned thoroughly, so it was unclear how intense the fighting was.

“Qiao Heting is not completely a bad guy,” Zhao Chuchu said to Xie Heng after she returned from her check. “He didn’t leave us homeless.”

“He still has a conscience,” Xie Heng said. “If we had been left homeless, it would probably mean that the Great Prince had the upper hand and that the Third Prince was completely defeated.”

“This guy has never trusted me.”

“So what? He can’t find evidence and won’t do anything to you.”

“Da Lang, I’m only afraid that there is not much time left for us to prepare ourselves.”

“You don’t have to worry about this. At least until I serve in the imperial court, we are safe. The relationship between the Great Prince and the Sikou clan has broken down, and the Empress is pregnant, so all the forces in the imperial court are fighting and can’t care about those of us who are not important.”

Xie Heng was well-informed, so Zhao Chuchu believed he had another identity.

However, since he had not said anything about it, she did not ask.

No one knew if there were telepathic connections between them. While Zhao Chuchu was thinking about it, Xie Heng brought up the matter.

“Chuchu, all of my information comes from the Ink-reflecting Bookstore,” Xie Heng said in a low voice. He took out a white jade-carved seal and handed it to Zhao Chuchu. “This is a token. You can go to any Ink-reflecting Bookstore to get anything you want with it.”

Zhao Chuchu took it and carefully examined it for a moment. The bottom of the seal was engraved with the word “Ink-reflecting” in italics and looked ordinary.

But what Xie Heng took out was obviously not something ordinary.

“Anything? Even the Ink-reflecting Bookstore?” Zhao Chuchu joked.

“Yes, if you want it, it’s yours.” Xie Heng nodded seriously.

“Including you?”

“I am also yours.”

Zhao Chuchu laughed. “Then I’ll take it.”

Zhao Chuchu knew of the Ink-reflecting Bookstore. It was very famous in the Wei Dynasty and was especially sought after by those intellectuals.

But the owner of the Ink-reflecting Bookstore was an old man in his sixties, and the old man was particularly bad-tempered. Even a young girl like the original owner had heard of it from Niu Ziming, who often showed his desire for the Ink-reflecting Bookstore in front of young girls.

It seemed that it was a symbol of an intellectual’s status to be able to buy a book from the Ink-reflecting Bookstore.

Zhao Chuchu did not expect that the real owner of the Ink-reflecting Bookstore was Xie Heng.

“Isn’t the Ink-reflecting Bookstore an old one? When did you get it?”

“The original owner exchanged it with me for a piece of news.”

“What news is it that it’s worth giving up the bookstore?”

“Everyone has obsessions in their hearts, and some are so strong that they give up everything. The old owner of the bookstore is such a person. He is very affectionate.”

“That old man?”

“Yes, the Ink-reflecting Bookstore has never been ordinary. It controlled many channels of information gathering.”

“Then you’ve made a fortune.”

Xie Heng smiled. “I also became the owner of the Ink-reflecting Bookstore before. But I made it earlier this time.”

“What about besides the Ink-reflecting Bookstore?” Zhao Chuchu tilted her head and looked at him. “You are not short of money.”

“I also have some stores in several docks, but those land deeds and other things are not here. So when we go to Guangqing Province, I will give all those things to you to keep,” Xie Heng said.

Zhao Chuchu asked, “Then wouldn’t your entire fortune be with me?”

“You can tell me your biggest secret, so I always have to take out all of mine to reassure you.”

Xie Heng had wanted to say it for a long time but didn’t have the right opportunity.

Now it was just right. Everything went as it should.

Zhao Chuchu also knew his biggest secret.

He did not want Zhao Chuchu to be shaken by uneasiness and doubt.

Since he loved Zhao Chuchu, he was willing to let her know everything about himself and support her.

“Da Lang, if you are betrayed by me one day, you will suffer a lot.”

“If that day does come, it will definitely be because I have done something wrong to you.”

...

Xie Heng knew Zhao Chuchu’s nature too well.

She was clear about love and hate and would never do anything to hurt him without reason.

Moreover, what Zhao Chuchu wanted was just a peaceful and free life. She had no great desire for money or power.

“When the time comes, you can kill me.”

“Don’t speak too soon.”

“What do you mean?”

“Because maybe that day will really come.”

Xie Heng laughed. “Other things cannot be guaranteed, but never hurting you is the only thing I can be sure of.”

Zhao Chuchu gently punched him. Then she took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Xie Heng. “Here, take it. I hope it will be sweet to your heart.”

Xie Heng was already used to Zhao Chuchu suddenly taking something out, so he happily accepted it.

This kind of sweet burden belonged to him alone.

...

“It’s getting late, so go rest quickly. It’s not good for your health if you stay up any longer,” Xie Heng urged Zhao Chuchu. “No matter what happens in the future, I will keep my promise.”

“Well, you should also go to bed early.”

After saying that, Zhao Chuchu quickly kissed Xie Heng on the cheek and ran away.

Xie Heng was caught off guard, and his mind went blank. He stood frozen in place with a blush on his handsome face. All he could think about was that gentle touch, and his heart beat rapidly.

Zhao Chuchu closed the door. Then, remembering Xie Heng’s dumbfounded look, she couldn’t help but laugh.

He had lived for two lives, but he was still so innocent and would blush at a kiss.

However, Zhao Chuchu liked that about him.

She held the white jade seal and played with it carefully. This was Xie Heng’s trump card, and it was all Xie Heng had.

Now, including Xie Heng, they were all hers!

She closed her eyes contentedly, and even when she fell asleep, the corners of her mouth couldn’t stop rising.

It took Xie Heng a long time to return to his senses after being kissed by Zhao Chuchu.

He touched his face as if Zhao Chuchu’s breath still remained.

An unprecedented sweetness flowed through his body and made him feel sweet and happy.

It seemed that no one could escape from love.

In the past, Xie Heng did not understand, but now he knew.

It turned out that there was really such a girl in the world, and just seeing her would make people seem as if they had everything in the world!
