“Even if that happens, I’m still not worried. You’re here to help, aren’t you? With you backing me up, I’m not afraid of anyone.” Niu Tongsheng smiled.

Zhao Chuchu did not expect to hear that sort of reply from him, and she was surprised.

However, she also knew that Niu Tongsheng was not a cunning person and that he would not do something terrible in her name. If he really needed to use her name when required, she wouldn’t mind it, and he could use it as much as he wanted.

When Zhao Chuchu finally left the watermill workshop, it was already afternoon.

It was time to eat again.

She rubbed her belly and could tell that she was hungry.

Days now passed by in an instant to her.

After leaving the watermill workshop and having lunch, she spent the rest of the day forced by other women in the village to tell them more about the province city.

Zhao Chuchu had told them so much that her throat had turned dry, but it was as if they still wanted to hear more.

To these women, the county town was the furthest place they had ever been to. Places further away than that were places too far for them to ever travel to, and they probably would never have the chance to visit.

That was why Zhao Chuchu’s trip was special to them. They were too embarrassed to ask the men about it, but they felt more comfortable asking another lady.

In the end, Xie Heng saved Zhao Chuchu from the women.

“Da Lang, you sure are clingy to your wife, huh?” one of the women joked. “Who would’ve thought! Looks like every man is the same. They cant get away from their wives once they are married.”

“We always thought Da Lang was an emotionless persona I mean, have you girls ever seen him smile before this? Looks like he was just saving them for Chuchu!’

“Girls, stop it. They’re still passionately in love. Weren’t you all the same when you all just got married?”

Being joked around like that, Xie Heng could only beg. “Ladies, please spare me.

Thank you.”

The rest laughed. Naturally, they had to let the couple go.

Xie Heng finally saved Zhao Chuchu from the women, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief once they were on their way back.

He was a man who could face wild beasts like tigers and leopards without a change in his expression, but facing those women was something that even he found challenging.

Especially when it concerned Zhao Chuchu.

“They were just joking. Don’t mind them.”

“It’s not that. My heart just started to race when I saw you. Even I won’t feel that way when I first started practicing martial arts.”

“So, it proves that you’re different. I’ll get anxious because of you.”

That only happened when he was with her.

Even if he wanted to try and control it, he would realize that his feeling was not as controllable as other stuff.

That was why there was a saying that said attraction was something uncontrollable.

“Then, you should be glad that I’m not your enemy, or else you would die in my hands easily,” Zhao Chuchu joked.

“If that’s the case, then I would think of something.”

“Like what?”

“Like tying you up next to me so you won’t have the chance to harm me.” “I thought you would say something like you’d be glad to die in my hands.”

“I would never say that.”

Even if he were to die in her hands, he would do it after he had completed all the things he needed to do, or else it would be pointless for him to reincarnate.

Yet, Xie Heng was confident that he would never let Zhao Chuchu get the chance to harm him.

He was pretty sure he would kill her on the spot if they were enemies.

“You’ll kill me, won’t you?” Zhao Chuchu stared at Xie Heng.

The man turned to look at her and paused for a few seconds before nodding. “Are you angry?’

“No. I would’ve looked down on you instead if you were to show me compassion.” If Xie Heng were to spare her, she would find him a man who could not achieve anything significant.

He was reincarnated and had lived a life with a lot of power in the previous one. If he made that choice, then his past life was pointless.

It would make it sound like he could climb to the top out of pure luck. He was never a kind person. Being ruthless was the foundation of his success.

“Do you think I’m too cruel?”

“Well, that’s if we are enemies, no? But we are not. Would you even keep a walking bomb with you? I would not.”

Xie Heng looked at her and realized he was overthinking it. Zhao Chuchu was not the type of girl who would fight him because of that.

That was the woman he had chosen. “Chuchu, that day will never come.”

“What if I really am your enemy?’

“Then, I’ll drag you down to hell with me when you kill me.”

Xie Heng was serious.

Zhao Chuchu looked at him, wondering if he was just pure at heart or what. However, she also realized that it was something that he would do..
