“He didn’t come back last night either. I thought he was with you.”

“He wasn’t. He should be attending to something now. Don’t worry. Continue with your studies. I need to get some sleep.”

“Okay. Rest well.” Xie Jun quickly moved to the side.

Zhao Chuchu patted the boy’s head and smiled. ‘Good boy.”

Xie Jun smiled back at her.

After a quick shower, Zhao Chuchu sank into her bed and fell asleep.

The sun had already set when she finally woke up.

She could hear Xie Heng’s voice. He was now in the kitchen, preparing dinner for her.

Zhao Chuchu touched her belly and realized she was famished. She quickly jumped out of bed.

“Da Lang, what are you making? It smells so good that it woke me up from my dream!” Zhao Chuchu’s voice could be heard before she even entered the kitchen.

With his sleeves rolled up, Xie Heng was cooking in front of the stove.

Hearing her voice, he turned around. “I’m making your favorite steamed chicken. It’s almost done. Just wait a little while longer.”

Zhao Chuchu almost could not stop her saliva from dripping.

“Okay.” Zhao Chuchu sat down in front of the stove to help Xie Heng maintain the fire. “Why did you come back from the academy?

“I guess you didn’t get something good to eat yesterday since you didn’t come

back,” Xie Heng replied. “How were things?

“Huh? Word about it should have spread by now. Did you not hear about it?” “Nope. I came back as soon as class ended. I didn’t stop by the marketplace.”

“I forced Kang Liang to divorce Xia Chengxuan. Many people are calling me out for being a busybody and interfering with their family problems.”

“Just do whatever you want. You don’t have to care about what they say.”

“Oh, right! I met someone!”

Xie Heng looked at her. “Sikou Ming?”

“How did you know?” Zhao Chuchu was surprised for a second, but that surprise quickly disappeared. She realized that it wasn’t hard for Xie Heng to learn about it.

“I knew the moment he left the Imperial City. He’s here to look for you,” Xie

Heng explained. “He has a hidden illness and has been looking for a cure.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Chuc.hu laughed. “Wait! Do you know if those children are really his or not?”

“Why are you asking that?” Xie Heng sighed speechlessly.

“Since he has lost his ability to do that at such a young age, it wouldn’t be surprising that he could have one or two children that aren’t his.”

“Well, surprisingly, those children are his.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Chuchu was a little disappointed.

She was also surprised that Sikou Ming had such a talent for reproducing.

“Why do you sound disappointed?”

“Because I hope the Sikou clan will be extinguished with this generation.”

Xie Heng laughed. “You better watch what you wish for. It might come true.”

“Really? Sikou Ming has been bothering me the whole day.”

The smile on Xie Heng’s face disappeared instantly. “At the Kang clan’s mansion?

“Uh-huh. He even continued to hit on me and invite me out.”

Xie Heng tightened his grip on the wok’s handle but didn’t show his reaction on his face.

“What did you say to him?”

“I scolded him. I scolded him so badly that he couldn’t even fight back. But, Da

Lang, I didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?”

Zhao Chuchu even put on a cute act by blinking her eyes repeatedly as she asked that.

Xie Heng shook his head. “No. That won’t be a problem to me?’

In his head, he noted down another item in his list of reasons to get back at the Sikou clan.

He had to keep Sikou Ming alive for now.

He wouldn’t want Sikou Ming to die far away from his home as Sikou Qin did.

“It’s not your fault that he bothered you like that. You don’t have to worry about it. It’s not something that I can’t handle.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“Go get the bowls and chopsticks. The chicken is done.”

Xie Heng changed the topic.

Being completely attracted by the tasty dish in front of her, Zhao Chuchu decided to think about how to deal with Sikou Ming later.

“Junjun! Dinnertime!” Zhao Chuchu yelled as she set the table up.

“Coming!” Xie Jun replied as he dashed out of his room. “Oh! Bro made something good again!’ “Where’s Sister Hong?”

“She’s not back yet.”

Zhao Chuchu still didn’t know how it was for Jixiang at the Ruyu Center. She wanted to ask Chang Hong about it.

Chang Hong and Jixiang finally returned home when the moon was high in the sky, as the three ate their dinner.

“Why are you two so late?” Zhao Chuchu asked. “You should’ve come home right away once it’s over. Ruyu Center doesn’t open until this late.”

She would never want overtime to be a thing in ancient times too.

“Jixiang felt that there were parts that she didn’t do well, so she asked me to help her. Unfortunately, time just passed, and we didn’t realize it,” Chang Hong explained.

“Then, have you guys eaten yet?”

“We got something to eat on our way back.”

Zhao Chuchu looked at Jixiang and saw that her hair was still drenched from sweat.

“How was it, Jixiang?” Zhao Chuchu asked. “Still nervous?”

“Extremely… I was scared of making a mistake, and I was worried that they wouldn’t like me. Thankfully, they were very generous and didn’t put too much pressure on me. But I still feel like I can do better. I just don’t want to mess my classes up.”

“You have to have more confidence in yourself. If you can’t do that, how do you expect other people to believe in you?

“But wouldn’t it be bad for them if I made a mistake?”

“I approve of all the things you’ve learned. I’ve made sure you’ve learned the right thing. You won’t make a mistake if you don’t get nervous or anxious. You’re doing well, Jixiang. Have more confidence in your abilities. I still need you to help me a lot in the future. Don’t disappoint me.” She then patted Jixiang’s shoulder. “You’ll do just fine.”

Jixiang started to sob after hearing how much Zhao Chuchu trusted her.

At that point, Jixiang would willingly go to hell for Zhao Chuchu.

No one could encourage her and give her confidence like Zhao Chuchu had just done.

Jixiang felt she had found her reason to live and her life goal from Zhao

Chuchu.

“I’ll do my best to learn everything! I won’t disappoint you!’

“I believe you. Alright, tell me what happened during classes at the Ruyu Center. Then, I can help you find the parts where you can improve.”

Jixiang wasn’t that anxious anymore.

She then told Zhao Chuchu everything that had happened in the past two days in detail.

Zhao Chuc.hu then started to point out a few parts that Jixiang needed to fix, but most of them weren’t serious at all.

Zhao Chuc.hu was pleasantly surprised by Jixiang’s ability.

She had much more potential than Zhao Chuchu had expected.

Zhao Chuchu then praised Jixiang again to boost her morale and confidence even more.

After dismissing Jixiang, Zhao Chuchu returned to her room.

Xie Heng was sitting on the bed while reading a book..
