“He’s going to become suspicious of me. My off day is coming soon. I want to invite him to have a meal with us at home.”

“What a coincidence. Junjun wants to invite him as well.”

“That’s great. Let’s invite him using on behalf of Junjun then.”

Zhao Chuchu thought about it and asked, “Will Third Prince suspect that you are trying to steal the position as emperor?

“As a prince, it’s not strange for him to think so. They are born to be more suspicious of others. I don’t want Third Prince to misunderstand anything, so it’s best to tell him outright.”

“Will he trust you?

“I will convince him that I’m not interested in being the emperor.”

“That’s great.”

Zhao Chuchu wasn’t familiar with the power rivalry in the royal court, so she listened to Xie Hung when it came to those things. She didn’t want to be a burden to Xie Heng.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, the Third Prince didn’t come to the Xie clan again. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩

The invitation letter to invite him to come to the Xie clan for dinner was written personally by Xie Jun.

The Third Prince wanted to test Xie Heng and see what his intentions were, so he accepted the invitation and arrived at the Xie clan.

Qiao Heting wanted to follow him, but the Third Prince rejected his offer.

Other than himself, the Third Prince didn’t want anyone to know about Xie Jun’s real identity. He didn’t want to bring any danger to Xie Jun.

The person Third Prince trusted the most was himself.

Xie Heng didn’t cook. Instead, he asked Zhao Chuc.hu to pull out a decent but still normal table of food from her carry-on space.

When the Third Prince arrived, the food was ready.

“Zizhao, did you start preparing in the morning? I heard Junjun say that you are really good at cooking. This definitely proves that he was correct. What a man of many talents.”

“That’s high praise, Third Prince. I don’t know if it suits your taste. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Definitely not. Zizhao, the thought counts more than anything else. It is the most invaluable gift.”

“C’mon, let’s sit down and eat. What’s with all the talking? Isn’t eating more important? Can we carry on with the praises and politeness after we’re done eating?” Zhao Chuchu cut their conversation short as she passed two pairs of chopsticks to them.

Xie Heng turned slightly to look at Zhao Chuchu. His eyes were extremely gentle. He said, “Okay, we’ll listen to you.”

The Third Prince had been paying attention to Xie Heng’s actions the whole time. He realized that Xie Heng’s feelings for Zhao Chuchu were indeed as good as what Qiao Heting described.

With Zhao Chuchu as his weak spot, Xie Heng was no longer undefeatable. The third Prince didn’t show anything on his face. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Xie Heng felt a little embarrassed. He said, “Chuchu is always like this. I hope you don’t mind, Third Prince.”

The third Prince laughed and said, “Of course not. She is very straightforward and frank. It’s easy to communicate with people like that. There’s no guesswork involved. ”

“Yeah, that’s what I like about her. Sometimes I feel a little sorry for her.” “Why so?”

“She’s used to being free, but I want to become a government official and achieve my dreams. I don’t know when I’ll be able to travel the world with her.” “Zizhao, after you become an official, you will have no freedom.”

“I know, but after I achieve my goals, I will choose to retire and return to the countryside.”

“Forgive me for being frank. Once a man has a taste of power, he cannot just give it up.”

The third Prince stared at Xie Heng and said, ‘Especially for highly talented and capable individuals like you. You’re sure to achieve great things in the royal court.”

“It’s too early to talk about those things. No matter how good power and authority feel, Chuchu is still better.”

“Zizhao, do you like your woman more than power?

“I would be lying if I said that I don’t like power. It’s just that Chuchu is more important to me than power.”

The third Prince looked at him in a judgmental manner. He asked, “Are you not afraid that people might accuse you of being driven by emotions rather than reason?

“What other people say cannot hurt me, and I don’t care. Third Prince, when you meet a girl you love, you will understand. Sometimes one person can be your entire world.”

“There are far too people who give up their position after achieving success, so not many of them end up well.”

“I will become one of those who end up well.”

Xie Heng looked at Third Prince right in his eyes. He seemed calm and confident.

“I stick to what I said before. No matter how good power is, it’s not as good as Chuchu. My ambition is to travel the world with her.”

Moments later, the Third Prince laughed and asked, “Zizhao, why did our conversation become so serious suddenly? Mrs. Xie, you heard him. Zizhao was trying to confess his love for you in different ways.”

Zhao Chuchu lowered her head in embarrassment. “Jeez, Da Lang, the Third

Prince is here. Please don’t embarrass me like this.”

Xie Heng looked at her lovingly and said, “All those things came from my heart. There’s no need to feel embarrassed.”

“How about you don’t go for the exams? Let Junjun study hard, then go for the exams and become a government official when he’s old. I really do want to see the world with you.”

“Wahhh please no, I want to be together with bro and sis. If bro doesn’t study anymore, then I won’t study either.” Xie Jun hurriedly expressed his feelings.

Xie Heng retracted his loving gaze and asked in a serious tone, “Junjun, I have a skill that I can live off of. What do you have? Sis and I can’t provide for you forever. You need to find a path for yourself. You will get married and have your own family in the future. Do you want your brother to worry about your wife and family as well?”

Xie Jun’s face turned red. “That’s not what I meant. Uhh, can I not get married?”

The Third Prince felt speechless.

What a silly brother..
