The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

246 Be Nice When I’m Gone

“I don’t mind if they can pay the price for betraying me.” Zhao Chuchu glanced at Yuan Hui and smiled. “There are many ways to expose a person, and I wouldn’t mind using the cruelest out of them.”

Yuan Hui was shocked by the murderous intent inside Zhao Chuchu’s eyes.

She had always known that Zhao Chuchu was not a person to be messed with, but that was the moment that she felt that the most.

“Hui, I was never a good person. Whether I save a person or not is decided by my mood. No one has the right to try and use me, not even my grandparents. I don’t even care if they yell at me for not being respectful or if I’m embarrassing them. Those mean nothing to me.”

!!

There was pride in Zhao Chuchu’s eyes when she said that, and she could back that up.

Even if she didn’t have the ability, she would still say the same thing.

Trying to tie her down with morality would prove useless.

Yuan Hui regained her wits and looked at Zhao Chuchu in her eyes. “Chuchu, to be honest, I envy you a lot. If I could be like you, others would never have the chance to control me. But I don’t have the ability to do that.”

“As long as you’re strong enough in your heart, you’ll have the power to face all fears and enemies. Of course, you’ll also need the strength to do that. Let me give you a piece of advice. Sometimes, being heartless is the answer.”

“But, you aren’t heartless. It’s the opposite. To me, you’re kinder than everyone else. You said you would only save people if you were in a good mood. However, if the person is not bad, you will do anything to save them. Chuchu, I’m very glad that I could meet you.”

“Girl, I’m sensing a lot of thank-yous again if we keep this conversation going. We are friends now. Let’s not talk about this again. Instead, why don’t you think about how you can help me make more money.”

“Huh? I’m still hoping that you can help make me rich.”

Yuan Hui and Zhao Chuchu looked at each other and grinned.

Fate worked in mysterious ways. Having arrived in Lengshui Village more than half a year, other than Zhao Meilan, she had no other friends around her age.

Yet, she had only crossed paths with Yuan Hui once, and they had become friends almost right away.

After thinking for a short while, Zhao Chuchu suggested, “Hey, why don’t we head to Guangqing Province tomorrow? I can take a look at your grandmother too. I don’t want to talk to the Xia clan anyway. It’s about time I ghost them for a while.”

“Are you really coming to Guangqing Province?” Yuan Hui exclaimed in surprise. “Then, what about your house?”

“My husband’s still there. He can take care of everything. I don’t have to worry bout a thing!”

“That’s amazing! Thank you, Chuchu….”

Tears filled Yuan Hui’s eyes as she finally found hope for her grandmother.

“There you go again.” Zhao Chuchu sighed.

Yuan Hui laughed embarrassedly. “I can’t control myself. I just can’t wait for my grandmother to wake up! I won’t stay here today, then. I have to go back to the county to prepare. I’ll send someone to come get you tomorrow morning.”

“It’s okay. There’s a cart that heads to the county from here every morning. I’ll just hitch a ride.”

“I see. Alright! I’ll wait for you in the county then!”

Before heading back, Yuan Hui bought 25kg worth of beancurd from the watermill workshop and brought them back with her to the county.

When Xie Heng learned that Zhao Chuchu was going to head to the Guangqing Province, he did not try to stop her. He only reminded her to be careful when she got there and not to get into trouble.

“Do you want me to bring Junjun with me?”

“It’s okay. Junjun will stay here. You’re going on a personal trip. Bringing him might slow you down.”

“Aren’t you afraid he might be sad if he hears this?”

“It’s the truth, and he knows it.”

“Fine. Then take care of yourself and Junjun. As for his medicine, just give him the same amount as always. The weather will turn cold as well, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. If it really becomes too cold, remember to wear the inner clothes I gave you.”

“Okay.”

Xie Heng liked it when Zhao Chuchu nagged him. It was warm and sweet to him.

The inner clothes that Zhao Chuchu mentioned were able to keep people warm using advanced technology developed in the apocalyptic world. The weather in ancient times was even worse than in the future. Even if the Guangqing Province were down far south, snow would still fall, and many people would die yearly from the cold.

Although Xie Heng and Xie Jun could endure the past few winters, Zhao Chuchu still didn’t want the people she considered her family needing to struggle through the cold.

Besides the inner clothes, she also had a lot of hot packs with her.

Just a single hot pack could last an entire winter. It was thin and could produce heat the whole day. There was no need for her to start a fire in the night.

However, Zhao Chuchu had yet to plan to take them out.

It would take two days to arrive in the Guangqing Province from Yuanjiang County. Even though Xie Heng knew that Zhao Chuchu would have a lot to eat on her way there, he still made a couple of cookies and buns for her.

He wanted her to remember him when she ate them, even when he wasn’t by her side.

That was a small trick that the man had thought up.

Zhao Chuchu had planned to travel light, but she did not expect that Xie Heng would prepare enough for that would last five to six days.

She was speechless, but she couldn’t refuse his kindness. The food was a result of Xie Heng staying up the whole night.

“Dalang, why do I feel like you’re the wife waiting for her husband to come home?” Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but tease.

Xie Heng chuckled a little. “I don’t mind that. Our children can have your last name too.”

“Then, what about the Xie clan?”

“I don’t care what the last name my children carry. They still have the blood of the Xie clan, and that’s enough…” Xie Heng then moved closer to the lady’s ear and whispered, “I was infertile in my past life anyway.”

Zhao Chuchu almost choked on her own saliva.

“Are you proud of that?”

“Not at all. I just feel fortunate.”

He was glad that he didn’t have any children in his past life because if he had to regress, then it would mean that he would have to leave them.

Xie Heng always thought that being infertile in his past life was a blessing in disguise.

Zhao Chuchu turned around and grabbed Xie Heng’s face before kissing him.

Xie Heng was caught off-guard, and his eyes widened. All he could think of was her warm and soft lips.

...

“Dalang, I feel like I love you even more, every day,” Zhao Chuchu said with her lips still touching his. “Be good at home and stay away from other ladies when I’m gone, okay?”

Zhao Chuchu then continued to kiss the man.

Xie Heng was able to react this time. His kiss went from a passive to an active one. It was a long kiss, and Zhao Chuchu could not handle it.

Only then did she learn that kissing the man she held dearly could make her legs turn to jelly.

Xie Heng was an intelligent person. Even if he had no experience, he could quickly master kissing.

Zhao Chuchu’s head started to spin, and she rested her whole body on him.

The loving couple did not even notice Xie Jun walking out of his room, still rubbing his eyes.

The young boy was petrified by what he saw.

After a few seconds, his face turned red, and he ran back to his room.

Perhaps the young boy was too anxious, and he knocked the table on his way back, causing him to groan in pain.

Xie Heng finally realized that Xie Jun was up. He unwillingly let go of Zhao Chuchu with his face was slightly burning.
