Chapter 418: Chapter 403 Could He Be the One We’re Looking For? (2)

It seemed that Yuan Hui had already forgotten about the incident at Yuanjiang County!

“Chuchu, are you very disappointed in me? You feel that I haven’t grown up at all?” Yuan Hui seemed to have the same feeling of helplessness as Zhao Chuchu felt. She raised her head up to look at Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu said, “Do you want to hear my honest thought?”

“Yes. ”

“Yes, I am. You need to learn to grow up. You can’t live under someone else’s protection forever. What if you lose that person one day? All that awaits you is death! Think about it. You almost died before. There’s nothing to be afraid of, right?”

“I get that, but I just… I just feel like it’s morally wrong to be always suspecting other people.”

“Suspecting doesn’t hurt anyone. There’s nothing moral about this.” In the post-apocalyptic world, people like Yuan Hui were the first to die.

Being too kind and compassionate wasn’t a good thing.

“Chuchu, I will try my best to grow up. Could you give me some time?

“This isn’t about whether I want to give you time or not. The problem is you are going to get married very soon. Huihui, the Imperial City is far more complicated than Guangqing Province. You are going to meet people who are much scarier than the ones you’ve already met. It is the center of a constant struggle for power, and the conflicts there will be way more intense than anywhere else. You must understand what kind of position Duke Ding is in.” Yuan Hui didn’t talk for a long while.

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand what Zhao Chuchu was talking about.

It’s just that her character made it impossible for her to behave and think like Zhao Chuchu.

She was trying her very best to grow up and learn skills to protect herself. But just as Zhao Chuchu said, she didn’t have much time. She was quite anxious about it as well. As a result, she wasn’t really able to learn anything effectively. “The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago, and the next best option is right now. Learn as much as you can under your grandmother. It’s not too late. Huihui, the best teacher you can have is your grandmother. If you are willing, you can learn from your mother as well.”

Yuan Hui frowned slightly. After going through so much, she vaguely realized that the death of her parents had nothing to do with her stepmother.

Her stepmother truly loved her and cared for her. However, she had gotten used to going against her stepmother after all these years. She just couldn’t get over what had happened in the past and was unable to have a genuine conversation with her stepmother.

It’s not that she wasn’t willing to talk to her stepmother. Yuan Hui felt that she had done too many things wrong. On top of that, she kept trying to attack her stepmother with those insensitive words every day…

“Chuchu, have you known all along that she has no ill intentions toward me?” Yuan Hui asked softly. “I’ve been thinking about the past a lot recently. She has never done anything to hurt me. On the contrary, I was the one who kept saying those hateful things. She actually dislikes me deep inside, right?”

“That’s just what you think. If she really disliked you, when the Ye clan came over and tried to force you to marry their son, she wouldn’t have stood up for you. Huihui, it’s okay for us to be ruthless and fierce, but we cannot be ungrateful. ”

“I’m not…”

“I know you’re not, but there are some opportunities that only come once in a lifetime. Now that you are engaged with Heir Qiao and those flies from the Yuan clan don’t dare to disturb you anymore, no one would do anything to you even if you become close with your mother.”

“Did she let me do what I did in order to protect me?

“I don’t know. You should ask her.” “I… I feel too ashamed to ask her.”

“Silly girl.”

Zhao Chuchu rubbed her head.

“Don’t think so much. There’s no mother in this world that won’t forgive their daughter.” “Really?”

“Yup.”

Yuan Hui heaved a deep sigh upon hearing that as if she had just lifted a huge burden off her heart.

Perhaps she could try to communicate with her stepmother as Zhao Chuchu told her to.

Yuan Hui didn’t stay for very long at Zhao Chuchu’s place.

Zhao Chuchu continued to draw up blueprints for the machinery that she needed. She planned to hire someone to make it for her eventually.

Xie Heng returned home half an hour earlier than usual.

“We’re not cooking today. Heir Qiao came to Guangqing Province. He said he’ll be treating us,” Xie Heng said to Zhao Chuchu as he entered the room. “Would you like to change your clothes?”

Heir Qiao?

He meant the Third Prince!

It seemed that she was right. Xie Heng actually wanted Xie Jun to meet the

Third Prince.

“I’m going to change. What about Junjun?

“Junjun will come with us as well. I’ll go see how he’s doing with his homework,” said Xie Heng.

He then walked toward Xie Jun’s study room.

By the time Zhao Chuchu came out of her room, Xie Heng and Xie Jun were already waiting for her in the courtyard.

Ever since Xie Jun’s poison had been neutralized, he had been looking more lively with each passing day. Now that his face was more flashy, he seemed to look more handsome as well.

“Sis, are we going out to eat good food today?” Xie Jun was very excited. He said, “Which restaurant has the best food in the capital?”
