一夜情

Chapter 247 - 247 Please Continue



Zhao Chuchu reacted with a grunt as her face turned red. That was her first time experiencing her legs turning into jelly from a kiss.

Although they were interrupted, she recalled the kiss and could still feel how sweet it was. She finally understood why people loved kissing so much.

Zhao Chuchu wasn’t as embarrassed as Xie Heng was. She didn’t even feel awkward about getting seen while kissing the man she loved. She pushed Xie Heng back and returned to the house.

!!

Xie Heng let out a deep sigh.

Zhao Chuchu was a lady who could easily destroy all of his self-control.

He was not a man with high libido, but he had a huge thirst for Zhao Chuchu.

He looked at her back and forced his expression to return to the cold one so that he could calm down.

Zhao Chuchu had already approached Xie Jun by that time.

“Where did you hit yourself? Let me check.”

“I-I’m fine.” Xie Jun smiled like an idiot.

The young boy was glad that the relationship between his brother and sister-in-law had finally advanced. He was hoping that he could become an uncle soon.

“Please continue. I don’t know anything. I’m going back to bed.”

Completely speechless, Zhao Chuchu stopped the boy. “Stop. I heard it all the way from there. It would hurt a lot later if you broke your bone.”

Seeing the serious expression on Zhao Chuchu’s face, Xie Jun was angry at himself for not watching where he was going and interrupting them.

He decided that he would wake up later next time so he wouldn’t get in the way between his brother and sister-in-law.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Xie Jun wasn’t moving, Zhao Chuchu reached out to pull the young boy’s shirt up.

Xie Jun quickly stopped her as his face turned red. “I-I can do it myself.”

He quickly pulled his shirt up.

Zhao Chuchu quickly checked, and just as she had expected, there was a huge bruise on the little boy’s waist.

She glared at the boy and scolded him. “How can you be so careless? Look at this! Wait here. I’ll go get some medicine.”

“Sorry…”

Zhao Chuchu patted the young boy’s head and returned to her room. She took some medicine from her carry-on space and handed them to Xie Heng, instructing the man how to apply it on the boy.

“Apply it three times a day. You just have to smear it over the bruise. Try to be gentle.”

“Okay.”

“Then, I’ll be leaving first. You boys take care of yourself while I’m gone.”

Zhao Chuchu grabbed her luggage and the food that Xie Heng had prepared.

“Can you come back earlier?” Xie Jun chased after her. “We will wait for you! I’ll be a nice boy!”

Zhao Chuchu turned around and waved her hand. “Good boy. Hurry up and go put the medicine on!”

“Okay! Don’t forget to think of brother every day!” Xie Jun reminded loudly, worried that she might forget.

Zhao Chuchu laughed awkwardly and shifted her attention to Xie Heng.

Xie Heng was gently looking at her. Noticing that she was looking back, too, he smiled.

He then nodded, signaling her to take care of herself.

Zhao Chuchu grinned. “I’ll be back as fast as I can.”

“Okay.” Xie Heng nodded.

Zhao Chuchu finally left.

The cart was already waiting for Zhao Chuchu.

The villagers only thought she was heading into the county to cure someone. Not one of them expected that she was heading to Guangqing Province.

When Zhao Chuchu finally reached the county, Yuan Hui was already waiting for her at the inn.

They departed almost immediately.

Zhao Chuchu urged the coachman to hurry them to Guangqing Province. In the end, the two-day trip was cut short into one.

Guangqing Province did live up to its name as the busiest city south of Wei Dynasty.

There was a huge line where hundreds of people were waiting for their turn to enter the city. Yells of the guards could be heard from time to time to maintain order.

Even though the Yuan clan was only a merchant family, they were still an important one in the city. Naturally, a prestigious family as such had special privileges. They didn’t even need to wait in line to enter the city.

The city was even busier than the entrance. Stalls were set up everywhere. The sounds of sellers promoting themselves were like a melody.

Zhao Chuchu pulled the curtain open a little and looked at the busy street excitedly.

She had traveled to many ancient cities that were turned into tourist spots in her past life. Although those cities were busier and more crowded than the Guangqing Province, it wouldn’t beat being in the actual time when the city was bustling.

As Yuan Hui was used to being in the city, it was natural that she wasn’t excited.

However, Zhao Chuchu closed the curtain a few seconds later.

“Do you like the city?” Yuan Hui asked.

“It’s lively,” Zhao Chuchu replied. “Much livelier than Yuanjiang County. But, I still prefer the life of a farmer.”

“You can be a farmer in this city too. Chuchu, have you ever thought of moving here?”

“Not for now, at least. We’ll have to wait until Dalang’s exam is over.”

“You can move here anytime you want! If you don’t want to live with us, I can arrange another place for you to stay!”

...

“That’s right! How long until we arrive at your house?”

“About an hour or so.”

“Then, tell me more about Guangqing Province. What are the places I can visit when I have the time?”

Yuan Hui started to introduce the city to Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu finally had a brief understanding of Guangqing Province after that.

“That is where the Xia clan is situated at.” Yuan Hui suddenly pointed in a direction. “Past this street, everything there belongs to the Xia clan. However, they did many unforgivable things to obtain this huge land. They forced the original owners to leave and paid them less than the market price.”

“Has the Xia clan always been this lawless?”

“There’s nothing the original owners can do. To them, they believed that they were assisting the poor.”

Zhao Chuchu’s eyes twitched after hearing that.

Zhao Chuchu looked at the walls of the Xia clan mansion. The wall had surrounded an extravagant family and had stopped outsiders from peeking in.

Just as they passed by one of the side doors of the Xia clan mansion, a father and son duo was kicked out by the servants of the Xia clan.

...

“Get lost! Your daughter is not here. How dare a beggar like you make a mess here? Leave, or I’ll break your leg!” the head of the servant scolded arrogantly as he pointed at the father and son. “Who do you think you are? You don’t even have the right to mess with the Xia clan!”

“Please. Xi’er, my daughter, works as a maid here. Please help me find my daughter. It has been three months since we last heard from her. At least let me know she’s fine. I beg you!”

“Are you deaf? Get lost!”

The servant kicked the father.

The father fell down the stair and almost got stepped on by the horse pulling the Yuan clan’s carriage.

Fortunately, the coachman was skillful enough to steer the horse away, or else the father would’ve been dead.

“Dad!” The son, a little boy, cried as he helped his father up.

The father clasped his chest as blood dripped from his mouth. He pushed his son back and climbed back to the servant. “Please! Just let me meet my daughter!”

“Get lost! I told you that your daughter is not here!”

The servant turned and slammed the door shut.

“Please…”

The father banged on the door, but there was no response.

Zhao Chuchu frowned at the sight of that.

The father was already sick. Being kicked by the servant had only made the illness even worse.

“Even the servants of the Xia clan are so arrogant!” Yuan Hui scolded and instructed her servant to help the father and son.
