“What’s wrong? Can’t you tell me?” Ye Muyu looked up at him and saw that he looked a little embarrassed. She suddenly thought of something and widened her eyes. Her ears were red. “You can’t be… Are… are you injured?”

“I already said I’m fine.” Chu Heng coughed lightly and turned to look at the flowers and plants beside him. He did not dare to look Ye Muyu in the eye. He felt that this was something embarrassing, the kind that could not be said.

However, such an embarrassing thing happened in front of the woman he loved. He was irritated in his heart, but he kept a calm face.

“Is, is everything okay? Is it serious?” Ye Muyu did not expect such an accident to happen. It seemed that her knee and body had bumped into him.

It took her a lot of courage to ask this question. She leaned against his neck and looked at him carefully, trying to get an answer from his expression.

Chu Heng’s face turned red, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Ye Muyu had a strange feeling. She had never seen Heng blush before!

He had always been very serious. Even though he would smile at her, he would always be indifferent to outsiders. Although he was enthusiastic in their nighttime activities, she was too embarrassed to open her eyes. Moreover, it was dark, so she naturally did not know that Ah Heng actually blushed!

Ye Muyu’s gaze was too scorching, and Chu Heng could not pretend not to see it.

“It’s fine, don’t worry,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“Oh.” Ye Muyu nodded perfunctorily, but her eyes were still on his face.

Chu Heng’s eyes flashed with helplessness, but he pretended to be fierce on the surface. He lowered his head and looked at her with his eyes that were as deep as the stars. “What are you looking at? Do you want to kiss me again?”

“No, no.” Ye Muyu quickly covered her mouth. Even without a mirror, she could guess that her lips must be swollen because it hurt just by touching them.

Seeing Chu Heng’s gloomy eyes, Ye Muyu’s alarm bells rang. She quickly sat up straight and tilted her head to avoid looking at him. She tugged at his clothes and urged him, “Let’s go, let’s go back.”

“Don’t delay it too late. When the time comes, Eldest Aunt and the others will be worried about us and might even come looking for us.”

“Then hold me tight. I’ll speed up.” Seeing that the topic had finally changed, Chu Heng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. However, he did not loosen his grip on her waist.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Sit tight.” As soon as Chu Heng finished speaking, the horse started running.

Ye Muyu let out a soft cry and quickly hugged his waist, burying her entire body in his embrace to avoid the wind.

Walking slowly, Ye Muyu did not feel the wind blowing in anymore. She looked up and saw Chu Heng protecting her in his arms. The wind blew on his face and he looked at the man’s firm chin.

Ye Muyu’s lips curled into a smile. She changed into a comfortable position and leaned into his arms. She enjoyed the scenery and enjoyed the time alone with him.

After a while…

The two of them returned to the Xiang family’s house.

Hearing the noise, the Xiang family walked out of the courtyard.

Chu Heng carried Ye Muyu down from the horse and helped her tidy up her clothes and hair. Chu Xingjun walked out and reached out to hold her hand .”Ah Yu, you’re finally back. There’s a new change in the dried wood ears. Come and take a look.”

Chu Heng saw that his hand was empty and felt a little sad. His wife had only spent some time with him. Why was she called away again?

However, he hid his emotions very well.

“Brother Heng, where did you guys go?” Du Heng asked casually.
