Xie Heng entered Visitor’s Aroma first.

Qiao Heting suppressed his questions and followed him.

The owner of the restaurant was very happy to see Xie Heng. “Mr. Xie, hello. Please head up to the private room.”

!!

“Thank you,” Xie Heng replied, nodding.

The owner smiled and said, “No worries, sir. Please head up first.”

After saying that, he realized that Qiao Heting was there as well.

Naturally, the owner of the restaurant knew County Magistrate Qiao’s nephew. He hurriedly greeted Qiao Heting as well, then brought them up to the best private dining room on the second floor.

“Shall we serve the dishes now?”

“Hold on. We’re still waiting for someone.”

“Alright, let me know when you want us to serve the food. I won’t disturb you now.”

After the owner went out, Qiao Heting couldn’t help but ask the question that had been bothering him. “Mr. Xie, have we met before?”

“I just recovered recently. So this is the first time that I’m meeting you, Mr. Qiao,” Xie Heng answered as he poured a cup of tea. “Have you seen me before?”

Qiao Heting remembered the rumors about how Xie Heng was blind.

“Your wife is an amazing doctor. Was she the one who cured your eyes?”

Xie Heng raised his head to look at Qiao Heting.

Qiao Heting felt like Xie Heng was looking down on him.

He subconsciously touched his nose.

For some reason, although this was definitely the first time he had met Xie Heng, he felt like he was at a disadvantage against Xie Heng.

It was as though Xie Heng was born to suppress him.

Heting was outstanding among those of his age. It was the first time that he felt that way.

“Chuchu learned to be a doctor because she wanted to cure my eyes. Now, my eyes have been cured. I think that’s quite normal, right?” Xie Heng said. “Mr. Qiao, your words can cause a misunderstanding. Please be more careful.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean that. Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Xie,” Qiao Heting apologized.

They were the only ones in the room.

Xie Heng said, “Chuchu is just an ordinary person. If you need any help from her, I suggest you seek her permission first. If you dare to force her to do anything…”

It was rather obvious what Xie Heng meant. He was saying that he wouldn’t let it slip.

Qiao Heting looked at Xie Heng and said, “I was wrong. Mr. Xie, your eyes couldn’t see, but your heart wasn’t blinded. Did your wife tell you about what happened when we first met?”

“She is my wife. Should she not have told me?” Xie Heng performed his role as a protective husband to perfection.

In actual fact, he wanted to do this.

He was a man, and he could tell that Qiao Heting was very curious about Zhao Chuchu.

A man being curious about a woman wasn’t a good sign.

To be honest, Xie Heng didn’t want Zhao Chuchu to get too close to Qiao Heting.

“Mr. Xie, I think you may have misunderstood.”

“Oh yeah?”

“I’m simply impressed by your wife’s skills as a doctor.”

“That would be great.”

Xie Heng ended the conversation.

The two of them looked at each other silently as they drank tea.

Qiao He Ting attempted to start a conversation several times, but whenever he saw Xie Heng’s cold expression, he couldn’t say anything.

He was a proud person as well, and he could have almost anything he desired.

Why would he be willing to cater to the attitude of a little scholar?

That’s impossible!

Qiao Heting rested the thought of conversing with Xie Heng and waited patiently for Zhao Chuchu to arrive.

When Zhao Chuchu returned, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was very strange.

But she was big-hearted and didn’t think that Xie Heng and Qiao Heting would do anything inappropriate in a public setting like this.

It wasn’t the first time Niu An had been there, so he appeared calmer than Niu Le.

Niu Le’s behavior was exactly the same as Niu An’s previously. He was so nervous that he didn’t know where to put his arms and legs.

With Zhao Chuchu in the room to set the atmosphere, the mood in the room returned to normal.

Qiao Heting wanted to ask Zhao Chuchu about something, but he couldn’t bring it up now after what Xie Heng said.

After all, what he wanted to ask did involve a bit of scheming.

Xie Heng had already warned him, so he couldn’t go back on his word now.

Zhao Chuchu had no idea what happened in the room while she had gone to get Niu An and the rest.

Xie Heng conversed with Qiao Heting as though nothing had happened at all.

Qiao Heting tried to probe how knowledgeable Xie Heng was. Unexpectedly, Xie Heng was not only very knowledgeable but also a deep thinker.

...

Qiao Heting benefited quite a bit from the conversation, which made him dismiss the thought that Xie Heng was over-complemented by the people around him.

“Listening to you talk was more beneficial than studying for a decade. Mr. Xie, you’re an impressive man,” Qiao Heting said genuinely. “I wonder if we can continue our discussion some other time.”

“Not really. My family is busy with spring seeding. We don’t have time,” Xie Heng rejected him.

Qiao Heting was speechless.

But he wasn’t mad.

Xie Heng was knowledgeable and highly talented. He had the right to be arrogant.

Zhao Chuchu wasn’t interested in the topics that they were talking about. Instead, she focused on the food with Xie Jun and the Niu brothers. When she heard Xie Heng, she subconsciously commented, “It’s fine. You don’t need to worry about spring seeding. I think it’s good for you to discuss academic matters with Mr. Qiao.”

Now it was Xie Heng’s turn to be speechless.

“But the county is quite a distance away from our house. I think Mr. Qiao shouldn’t travel so much. After all, the rural region isn’t a suitable place for Mr. Qiao, and there’s no space at our home for him to stay as well.”

Xie Heng felt better.

Qiao Heting smiled bitterly and said, “That’s very humorous of you, Ms. Zhao.”

...

“I wasn’t joking. We’re very poor.” Zhao Chuchu had finished her meal, so she started speaking nonsense. “If we have to provide food for one more person, we’ll probably go hungry. So we can’t let Mr. Qiao eat wild vegetables with us, right?”

Qiao Heting didn’t know how to respond.

He simply admired Xie Heng’s talent. So why were both of them so hostile toward him?

He only followed Zhao Chuchu twice.

He didn’t do anything to harm her!

Both of them are so petty.

But there was nothing that Qiao Heting could do.

He was the one at fault here.

After paying for the meal, Qiao Heting found lodging for them and helped them settle down. He was very genuine in his apology.

Zhao Chuchu appreciated that, but she still wasn’t very friendly toward him.

She remembered that Qiao Heting followed her once.

Regardless of whether he had harmed her, he refused to listen to her warning, so he couldn’t blame her for being a little hostile.

Qiao Heting had no choice but to leave. He had to look for another opportunity to seek help from her.

“Sis, is that Mr. Qiao a bad person?” Xie Jun asked Chuchu. “Why do you and brother not like him? I feel like he’s quite a good person. He paid for our meal and found a hotel for us.”

Zhao Chuchu said earnestly, “Junjun, you must remember—if someone tries to suck up to you for no apparent reason, he must be scheming something. I barely even know him. So why do you think he’s treating us like this?”

“Is it because he wants sis to do something?”

“Yup, but I know nothing about who he is or where he came from. If I help him carelessly, who knows if I might get myself into danger?”

“But what if there’s no danger?”

“If there was no danger, he could have just asked me straight up instead of probing me like this.”

Xie Jun didn’t really understand.

But whatever his sister-in-law says must be right!

He had to remember this.

Zhao Chuchu was telling Xie Jun these things because she wanted Xie Jun to understand how cunning and evil people can be.

Xie Heng had protected Xie Jun too well.
