Sikou Ming was speechless.

He was seriously on the brink of going insane, thanks to the Third Prince.

Sikou Ming quickly explained himself, saying, “Third Heir, I didn’t mean it that way. Please do not misunderstand my words. Since the weather is good today, I was thinking we could go horse-riding on the outskirts of town too.”

The Third Prince said softly, “I have already said that I don’t know how to ride a horse.”

Qiao Heting had a hard time holding in his laughter.

If this continued, Sikou Ming was probably going to go mad.

The Third Prince was always unorthodox.

Sikou Ming made Zhao Chuchu unhappy. The Third Prince was tormenting Sikou Ming on her behalf. That way, he could also answer to Xie Heng.

Sikou Ming nearly roared in anger. “Just tell me what you want to do! Why would you ask me to read your mind? What answer do you want from me?” However, in reality, Sikou Ming swallowed his anger.

Instead, he had to apologize softly and said, “Third Heir, I am sorry. It is all my fault. I was not thinking straight. Please forgive me.”

The Third Prince thought about it momentarily and said, “Actually, I do not mind horse riding. Why don’t you teach me how to ride a horse tomorrow?

Sikou Ming hesitated before saying, “That would not be wise. My riding skills are inadequate. I would not dare to teach you. Why don’t we…”

“Then it’s settled. Alright, I am a little tired. That will be all for today. I need to go back and rest,” said the Third Prince as he turned to leave.

Sikou Ming did not even get the chance to reject the suggestion.

He stood there stunned as he watched the Third Prince and Qiao Heting leave.

Could he still return to Imperial City?

After contemplating for a long while, Sikou Ming finally decided to rush back to Imperial City overnight.

He was terrified! What if the Third Prince actually asked him to teach him riding tomorrow?

If anything happened to the sick and feeble Third Prince, the emperor would definitely behead Sikou Ming!

Coincidentally, Xie Heng returned to the city the same night. He met Sikou Ming, who was leaving the Guangqing Province in a hurry. Xie Heng initially believed that either Zhao Chuchu or the Third Prince had encountered trouble.

Therefore, he couldn’t be bothered with Sikou Ming and immediately rushed home.

When Zhao Chuchu found out that Xie Heng had hurried home because of this, she laughed until her belly hurt. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

“Sikou Ming, this mongrel! He reaps what he sows.” Zhao Chuchu took a long while to regain her composure. She told Xie Heng what happened for the past few days. She concluded, “The Third Prince tortured him well. According to Qiao Heting, whenever they meet up now, Sikou Ming is scared even before the Third Prince says or does anything.”

Xie Heng rested his worries. “So, that’s what happened. I thought that Sikou

Ming had done something bad. All is well as long as you and Junjun are safe.”

Zhao Chuc.hu snorted and said, “Sikou Ming can’t hold a candle against me unless he is ready to throw away his dignity and let others know he’s impotent.”

Xie Heng smiled. He then took out jade earrings wrapped in a handkerchief from his chest pocket and said, “I found this pair of earrings. I think you’ll look good wearing them.”

“They are lovely. I like them a lot. Thank you,” said Zhao Chuchu as she happily accepted them. She then tilted her head and pointed at her ear, saying, “Why don’t you help me put them on?

“Hmm.”

“I am afraid that I will accidentally hurt you.”

“It is fine if you do it slowly.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Chuchu took off the earrings she was wearing. Xie Heng took the jade earrings and carefully helped Zhao Chuchu wear them. He said, “If it hurts, please let me know.”

“Alright.”

Xie Heng sweated profusely as he slipped the earrings through her tiny ear piercings.

He was afraid that he would hurt her.

After some time, he finally managed to help her put them on.

Just as he imagined, the earrings suited Zhao Chuchu very much.

“You look lovely.” He was very satisfied. As he said this, he dragged Zhao

Chuchu to her dressing table and asked, “What do you think?”

“You have good taste!” said Zhao Chuchu with a smile as she admired the earrings. “I like them very much. Thank you, Da Lang.”

After she said this, Zhao Chuchu tiptoed and pecked him on the cheek..
