Chapter 1248 - 1248 1245 Good Boy

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1245: Good Boy Chapter 1248: Chapter 1245: Good Boy Chu Heng stretched out his hand to grab hers, kissing the back of her hand, “Ah Yu, you’re really good.”

Ye Muyu, made somewhat shy by his words, couldn’t help but smile as she gazed into his eyes that sparkled like a swath of stars, “I just used some dumplings, and you’re this happy?”

“Of course, Mother and the children mentioned you haven’t been able to eat anything and have been relying on medicine, but now I have succeeded,” Chu Heng murmured. For some reason, even though it was such a small thing, he felt an immense sense of accomplishment in his heart, as if he had completed a significant feat.

“Thank you, Ah Heng.” Ye Muyu looked at his lean face and hurriedly ordered Su Mei and the rest to serve the meal, urging Chu Heng to have a good breakfast.

“No rush, I’ll go to the front hall to join Father, Mother, and the children for breakfast.” Chu Heng squeezed her palm, “I know the smell of meat and fish bothers you, so is it okay to wait for me in the backyard?”

Ye Muyu truly didn’t want to throw up the food she had managed to eat down—she had already felt all kinds of discomfort from her body lately. If she couldn’t ingest enough nutrients, not to talk of pregnancy, even her own health would suffer.

So she nodded in agreement, “Go ahead, spend more time talking to Father, Mother, and the children. Mother and Father have been very worried about you recently; I have Su Mei and the others to take care of me here.”

Chu Heng planted a kiss on her cheek and then moved to her ear, “Wait for me to come back.”

Ye Muyu’s cheeks reddened slightly, and she pushed him gently, “Go on, don’t keep Father and Mother waiting too long.”

“Okay.”

After hugging her, Chu Heng left.

Even after he had gone, the corners of Ye Muyu’s mouth still curled up slightly, her face beaming with joy.

She leaned back on the soft couch, casually picking up a book to pass the time.

Su Mei and the other maidservants withdrew to have their meals in succession.

The front hall.

By the time Chu Heng arrived, the whole family was seated. Madam Liu’s eyes couldn’t help but linger on her son a bit more, checking to make sure he was standing well, and she mumbled her thanks to the Bodhisattva.

“Ah Heng, take a seat.”

“Father.”

“Third Uncle.”

The children were somewhat excited to see him; Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang, being older, couldn’t help but overhear some rumors despite the matter being tightly concealed within the residence.

In their eyes, the most capable member of the Chu family was Third Uncle. What would they do if something happened to him?

The brothers exchanged a glance, further motivating themselves in their studies.

Now that they saw Chu Heng, the two brothers simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Third Uncle was all right.

“Has Ah Yu had her meal?” Upon seeing that her son was fine, Madam Liu started to worry about her daughter-in-law. Ye Muyu’s pregnancy this time had not only terrified the elders at home but had also struck fear into the hearts of the young ones.

Chu Jin was the first to speak up and shook his head, “Father, I don’t want a little brother anymore; it’s too hard on Mother.”

Although Chu Ziluo didn’t speak, her sentiment was the same.

Madam Liu moved her lips; of course, she hoped that her family’s lineage would flourish, but she couldn’t just watch Ah Yu come to harm, thus she hesitated, and in the end, remained silent instead of objecting.

Faced with the earnest gazes of the children, Chu Heng also felt pained, “Alright, we won’t have any more children after this one.”

“Ah Yu had some pickled cabbage dumplings this morning, she’s making progress,” Chu Heng carefully answered the previous question.

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu was quite pleasantly surprised, “We’ve prepared similar food for Ah Yu before, and she didn’t eat it. It seems Ah Heng is really capable.”

Chu Heng, thinking of Ye Muyu’s health, really couldn’t find a smile, and in order to avoid worrying the elders, he could only maintain a neutral expression.
