Chapter 1392: Chapter 1389: Aunt’s Laugh

Chu Bo’s cheeks were puffed red, blushing and anxious at the same time.

It took him a moment to squeeze out a sentence, “I, I have started exercising, and I will slim down in a couple of years.”

The two brothers were hurting each other on this side.

Yet Chu Zhang was of the right age to discuss marriage and, instead, his face turned red.

Seeing his uncle divide the rooms, he quickly hugged his book box and went inside.

Chu Jin cleaned himself up first. The maid who cooked and managed the fire was brought from his hometown. He changed into clean clothes. Without a way to clean up properly on the boat, he felt as if his clothes had turned into fish with pickled cabbages.

Finally tidy, he ate lunch and said, “Uncle, I will go to the shipyard first to check on things. Tomorrow we will visit Third Master Zhou. Could you please inquire about Third Master Zhou’s schedule and send an invitation on our behalf?”

“Alright, take two people with you. Don’t go out alone,” Chu Lin instructed.

Chu Jin nodded in agreement.

Seeing the two finished discussing, Chu Bo rushed, “No, I want to go out too.”

“You come with me. I need to take a look around anyway,” Chu Lin was just coming over to scout what business goods were available in Hangzhou, naturally he wouldn’t personally inquire about Third Master Zhou.

Although Chu Bo felt somewhat constrained going out with an elder, being able to go out was already great, so he quickly nodded eagerly.

“Okay, Uncle.”

Chu Jin didn’t take Chu Zhang with him; he planned to first get a lay of the land.

Chu Zhang was at home, reading, oblivious to sleep or food.

The capital.

Ye Muyu had just finished her confinement period and was no longer confined to her bed every day.

This allowed her, on the first day out of confinement, to take a refreshing bath and wash her hair, feeling as clean and comfortable as if it were spring.

“Wah wah…”

Ye Muyu had just come out from the neighboring bathroom when she heard Nuanbao crying.

She hurried over and lifted Nuanbao from the couch; Nuanbao rarely cried.

Ye Muyu first checked the diaper to confirm he hadn’t wet the bed, then knew he was hungry.

To take care of Nuanbao, she had designed her clothes using the softest cotton cloth, and Nuanbao’s little clothes were all made of silk, warm and gently soft.

“Good boy, Nuanbao.” After feeding Nuanbao and seeing him lying on the couch blowing bubbles, his eyes bright and incredibly cute and well-behaved, there was no sign of the recent fuss.

Ye Muyu felt her heart melt.

She reached out and poked his chubby cheeks. Nuanbao’s dark eyes looked at her. His smile was barely noticeable, but utterly adorable.

Ye Muyu had a delighted aunt-like smile; she hadn’t expected such a cute and well-behaved moment from the baby. No wonder some elders loved children so much.

“What are you doing, smiling so happily?” Chu Heng appeared in the room at some point, wrapping his arms around her from behind. Ye Muyu fell back into his arms.

Startled by his sudden closeness, Ye Muyu instinctively turned her head to look at him, “How did you come back?”

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the man too close, she instinctively shrank her neck.

Chu Heng’s gaze paused, seeing her smiling warmly and happily at their son, he felt an inexplicable sourness and jealousy in his heart.

His eyes rested on Nuanbao’s face, wanting to read every detail. His lips parted slightly, “The affairs at the yamen are finished, so I came back first. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat tofu? I went to the restaurant and bought tender tofu with cabbage for you.”

“Oh, thank you,” Ye Muyu replied nonchalantly, smilingly watching Nuanbao, “Look, Nuanbao is too cute. I don’t know how he grows so fast; he’s become so clean and fair in just a month.”
