The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife - Chapter 175

175 The Unexpected

Xie Heng laughed lightly. “It was really just a letter that went out. I’m not capable of making other people’s decisions for them.”

Zhao Chuchu rolled her eyes. “You’re still competent.”

“Even so, I still have to rely on you, Chuchu. I’m currently trapped in Lengshui Village and can’t do anything. Chuchu, I can only be more successful with your help.” Xie Heng said thoughtfully, “And I’m not overly modest.”

“Well, no matter how things go, so long as the result is what I want, that’s enough.” Xie Heng praised Zhao Chuchu so much Zhao Chuchu was unable to carry on the same topic. The Jin family’s done for anyway.

!!
Such sinister people really should be appropriately rectified.

“This morning, Junjun was talking about wanting to eat the beer-braised duck. How about making some of that today?” Xie Heng knew too well Zhao Chuchu’s fondness for food and quickly changed the subject.

Zhao Chuchu rubbed her stomach. Although Madam Luo’s cooking skills were good compared to Xie Heng’s, there was still a big difference.

As soon as Xie Heng mentioned food, she felt hungry.

She smiled and said, “Okay, let’s have some beer-braised duck.”

“Then I’ll go see about buying some duck.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Chuchu pushed Xie Heng outside.

“Hurry up, me hungry.”

“Okay.”

Xie Heng smiled and left with big steps.

Zhao Chuchu watched Xie Heng’s receding figure and felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.

“This young man really knows how to please people!”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t leave herself idle. She went into the kitchen and started boiling some water.

Xie Heng soon came back with a duck and a chicken.

“Why did you buy so much?”

“You’re back. We’ll need to make one more dish. Junjun likes it too.”

Zhao Chuchu knew deep down that it wasn’t because of Xie Jun but her.

“Then let’s cook another chicken with potatoes. This is also a delicious dish.”

“As you wish.”

Ever since Xie Heng’s eyes “healed,” Zhao Chuchu didn’t need to cook anymore except to help watch the fire in the kitchen.

Under Zhao Chuchu’s theoretical guidance, Xie Heng’s cooking skills skyrocketed.

Xie Heng said to Zhao Chuchu jokingly, “If one day, Junjun no longer needs me, I think I can find a place I like and open a restaurant to support my family!”

“If you went and opened a restaurant, then it would be a big loss for Junjun.”

“Keeping so many skills a secret will gradually cause me to forget them.”

“What’s wrong with that? You can still cook for Junjun and me, right? If I can eat your cooking for the rest of my life, then I truly have no regrets,” Zhao Chuchu said subconsciously.

Xie Heng smiled and turned to look at her. “For the rest of your life? Are you truly willing?”

Only then did Zhao Chuchu realize that she seemed to have said a very ambiguous sentence.

She wanted to bite off her tongue.

How could she say everything out loud?

How could a promise of a lifetime be made so easily?

“Haha, the problem is that can you cook for the rest of your life, Da Lang? It’s impossible, so don’t discuss this kind of extravagant request.” Zhao Chuchu pretended to be calm. “Da Lang, you’re a person with great ambitions and ideals. You cannot spend all day in a square-inch place like the stove to waste talent. God will punish us for doing so.”

Xie Heng smiled. “Achieving ambitions and cooking are not in conflict. Making simple ingredients into delicious dishes is also a great sense of accomplishment. Chuchu, no one other than Junjun has ever eaten my cooking in the past.”

“Am I the first?”

“Yep.”

“That’s my honor.”

“The honor is also mine.”

Now, Zhao Chuchu couldn’t play dumb even if she wanted to.

Xie Heng was being straightforward once again.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t even know how she was going to answer him.

She fell silent for a moment before she looked at Xie Heng. “Da Lang, a lifetime like this is too far away. Even I, myself, don’t know when I will leave here again.”

The gloom in Xie Heng’s eyes flickered.”Not even just for the time that you’re here?”

“I…”

“Chuchu, life is short. I’m only fighting for the present.”

“Why?”

“Probably because I know what it’s like to be happy.”

In this instant, Xie Heng’s gaze was serious and honest.

His eyes were like a thousand stars, all shining for Zhao Chuchu.

He was pleased with Zhao Chuchu.

But he didn’t know when it started, perhaps from the first time she said to him, “Da Lang take medicine.” Perhaps in the days they had spent together. Unknowingly her figure quietly moved into his heart.

When he saw her, his heart would always race uncontrollably.

When you didn’t see her, his heart would act like it felt down.

He often regretted why he was so quick to reveal her identity. If not, there would not have been the agreement of the divorce letter.

The only thing that Xie Heng was glad about was that the arrival of those people from the Thousand Battalion interrupted Zhao Chuchu’s action of receiving the letter of divorce.

Otherwise, Zhao Chuchu could have left Lengshui Village and left him at any time!

Zhao Chuchu’s heart was racing.

She didn’t even have such feelings when she killed a zombie for the first time.

She really did not expect Xie Heng would be so straightforward in the kitchen to express his feelings for her.

What happened to the fact that people from ancient times were subtle?

How come she didn’t feel that at all?

And Xie Heng was really too straightforward, right?

Expressing one’s love to another in the kitchen was something Zhao Chuchu had never heard of.

“Da Lang, what about your former wife?” Zhao Chuchu sighed in her heart. Since the original host of this body would die, Xie Heng would definitely remarry in the future.

Although the teenage boy made her heart flutter as well, she could never steal someone else’s marriage.

“No.” Xie Heng rarely blushed. “Looks like I won’t be able to have any descendants.”

Zhao Chuchu was shocked.

“Da Lang, are you incapable?”

This time, it was Xie Heng’s turn to be shocked.

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard those words.

What was the girl thinking?

No normal person would answer like that!

“Well, Da Lang, you don’t have to worry. After dinner, I will check your pulse. I will do my best to restore your masculinity and help you regain your dignity. Don’t be afraid. You will be able to be a father.”

Xie Heng gritted his teeth.

He felt like he had fallen into his own trap.

“I’m not!” Xie Heng took a deep breath and made himself look as calm and peaceful as possible. “It’s just that I’ve never even had sex after getting married!”

“Then that means you’ve never had a woman?” Zhao Chuchu was utterly stunned.

Xie Heng had been a big shot in his previous life, but he had never been with a woman. This was something she wasn’t willing to believe.

She intentionally glanced at a specific location of Xie Heng.

Xie Heng was rendered speechless.

“No, I didn’t, alright?!”

“Then aren’t you moved by women?”

Xie Heng closed his eyes.

He had never expected the topic to go down in this direction.

He carried the chicken and duck and silently walked out of the kitchen, refusing to discuss such issues with Zhao Chuchu again.

When Zhao Chuchu saw Xie Heng’s red ears, she couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from rising!

“He’s actually being shy!”

“He’s a surprisingly pure-hearted man!”
