Chapter 1942: Chapter 1939: Stained

If Chu Heng could be pulled down as well, that would be even better.

This way.

After leaving the Ministry of War Office, Chu Heng went straight back to the mansion.

He originally had no political affairs today, but was suddenly troubled by Hu Hua, which only entangled him.

When Chu Heng passed a pastry shop, he saw it was selling tarts inside.

Due to the daily limit, when the family wanted to eat some, they would have the kitchen maid make them, or Ye Muyu would do it himself.

Chu Heng went in and bought some grape tarts.

Intending to send them to Ye Muyu later when he returned.

Although he also thought his wife’s cooking skills were good, and she was happy to cook herself, Chu Heng still felt sorry for her.

He also wanted to treat her better.

As he dared to leave the shop after buying the tarts, he ran into a familiar figure.

Xie Zhao was knocked askew, but still focused on that slap mark on his face, without applying medicine or pausing because of it.

He seemed to have only one goal, unaffected, as he entered the shop.

Chu Heng was about to leave, but paused.

Turned around and went back.

While asking the waiter to get him two pieces of bread that Chu Ziluo liked, he noticed Xie Zhao’s movements with the corner of his eye.

Xie Zhao acted as if no one was around, standing at the counter, staring at a pineapple cake.

His expression was too focused, completely unconcerned with the strange looks from people nearby.

"I want... one," Xie Zhao’s voice was somewhat low, he fumbled for silver from his waist.

Carefully handed it to the waiter, watching as the waiter wrapped up the pineapple cake.

He took it gently as if receiving something precious, cradled the pineapple bun, took back the copper coins, and turned to walk outside.

His gaze only on the pineapple cake.

Suddenly, there was a thud.

A youth in brocade ran in from outside, knocking the pineapple cake from his hand onto the ground.

The soft pineapple cake landed on the ground, mushing into a mess.

The youth’s eyes, originally without any fluctuation, finally showed obvious emotional change at this moment.

It was a kind of sorrow to the extreme.

As if a single pineapple cake shattered the cold shell propping up around his body.

His whole demeanor turned very soft.

"Hey, you, how can you walk so carelessly, my arm hurts from being hit."

"Honestly, move aside, hitting this young master is begging for trouble."

The youth turned a deaf ear to the reproachful words, only squatted down, trembling hands moving to gather the pineapple cake.

At this moment, a complete pineapple cake suddenly appeared in front of him.

The youth’s eyes shifted, gaze settled on the offered pineapple cake.

After a while, he lowered his head, continuing to reach out to pick up the pineapple cake on the ground.

"It’s for you, whenever you want to eat pineapple cake, you can buy it anytime."

"As long as you desire, you can have it."

Chu Heng’s deep voice echoed above him.

The youth finally reacted, raising his head to look at Chu Heng, speaking awkwardly: "No need."

Being refused by the youth, Chu Heng wasn’t surprised.

He directly placed the pineapple cake into the youth’s arms, pulled him up, and walked forward.

Giving no chance for Xie Zhao to resist.

Xie Zhao watched as he moved farther away from the pineapple cake on the ground, his eyes starting to turn red, swelling with a surge of anger.

"That one is dirty, eat this one."

Chu Heng sensitively perceived his emotional change, stopped at the street corner, released his hand, letting the other hold the cake.

"Today you shouldn’t refuse, tomorrow you can still come and buy more."

Xie Zhao lowered his head, looking at the pineapple cake in his arms.

As his emotions slowly calmed down, he didn’t respond to Chu Heng, nor did he look up to acknowledge him.
