“It’s okay.” Zhao Chuchu shook her head. “Brother Le, don’t be rash.”

“But keeping him is going to be a problem. He’s Sikou Ming, the son of Duke Sikou Zhendong. He’s infamous for being a playboy in the Imperial City. So it won’t do you and Mr. Xie any good if you get targeted by him. Don’t worry about me. Killing is my original job, after all.”

“That’s the more reason not to assassinate him. Brother Le, I know you’re doing this for me, but I have my plans. You just have to protect Junjun.”

“The Sikou clan won’t realize who’s behind it.”

“The Xie clan still doesn’t have the power to go against the Sikou clan yet. We can’t bother the Third Heir with everything, either. No matter how powerful Sikou Ming is, this is not the Imperial City. Also, he still needs me.”

Seeing how persistent Zhao Chuchu was, Chai Le decided to stop persuading her.

“Well, if you ever change your mind, just let me know.”

“I will.”

Chai Le then went to take care of other stuff.

Now that things had calmed down, Zhao Chuchu could head to Ruyu Center.

She still had to check up on Jixiang. Seeing the result was better than hearing it. She had to make sure that Jixiang was doing well.

When Zhao Chuchu reached Ruyu Center, Jixiang was still practicing.

She was very strict with herself and needed all her movements to be perfect. She even looked at herself in the mirror when she practiced teaching others. Zhao Chuchu was extremely satisfied with how serious Jixiang was.

She didn’t interrupt Jixiang and went to look for Chang Hong instead. “Sister Hong, has Jixiang always been like this?”

“Yes. She would spend a lot of time practicing the moves you’ve taught her. She’s holding onto the chance you’ve given her.

“I saw that. Sister Hong, why don’t you stay with Jixiang here at Ruyu Center for the time being?

“I-I can’t do that. There’s still work to do back at home.”

“It’s not like I’m asking you to stay here forever. Just until Jixiang gets used to this.”

“Is there something wrong at home?

Chang Hong was very sensitive.

Zhao Chuchu gave Chang Hong a simplified explanation of the situation with Sikou Ming.

“That Sikou Ming sounds like trouble,” Chang Hong said. “He’s like a soulless prick in front of women. How did you even get mixed up with people like him? Do you want me to kill him?”

Chang Hong’s reaction was like Chai Le’s. Both of them wanted to kill Sikou Ming.

“Brother Le also said the same thing. But don’t do anything rash.”

“Why? Killing him will solve everything.”

“It won’t solve everything. If Sikou Ming were to die here in Guangqing Province, would people not suspect me? Many people know he’s here to ask me to treat him.”

“I see. I didn’t know about that.”

“Just ignore him. I asked you to stay here to protect Jixiang and the other girls as well. I don’t want Sikou Ming to get to me by targeting the people around me. He might cause trouble here as well.”

“I understand. Don’t worry about it. Sikou Ming won’t be able to do anything with me here.”

“I just don’t want you to do something on impulse. Remember what you want before making a decision. Don’t do something you’ll regret.”

Chang Hong was a little embarrassed. “I didn’t think about that either. I’m sorry.”

“We still need to rely on you and your husband a lot in the future. So please take care of yourself. That way, you’ll be able to do even more for us. As for Sikou Ming, just treat him like he doesn’t exist.”

If Sikou Ming were to come and mess with her again, Zhao Chuchu wouldn’t mind letting the whole world know about his hidden illness.

Of course, she would never tell Chang Hong and Chai Le about that. She wouldn’t want them to misunderstand and act first..
