Chapter 1580: Chapter 1577 Parent-Child Outfit

“I’m just hugging, nothing else.”

Ye Muyu rolled her eyes, clearly not believing it, and muttered, “You didn’t even give a heads-up just now.”

“Uh-huh.” Chu Heng reached out to pat her back and whispered near her ear, “Then I’ll give you a heads-up next time.”

“Hmph, there won’t be a next time.” Ye Muyu eased her strength, pushed against his chest, and distanced herself a bit, causing Chu Heng to let go before she stood up.

She straightened her clothes, confirmed everything was in order, then muttered, “Fortunately, no one was around, otherwise you’d be embarrassed.”

“What embarrassment?” Chu Heng showed no sign of discomfort and smiled at her.

Ye Muyu’s eyes curved into a smile. Bending down, she leaned closer to him and poked his cheek. “Are you sure? Aren’t you afraid your subordinates might see? Your romantic rumors will be known to everyone, and they’ll secretly laugh at you. Gossip is human nature; they won’t stay quiet just because of your status.”

“Then let them talk.” Chu Heng reached out and touched her cheek softly.

Ye Muyu felt a bit uneasy under his gaze. She intended to tease him, but ended up being teased herself. She coughed lightly and hurriedly straightened up. “Let’s go. I’ll help you up. Later, I’ll call the secret guards to bring a chair.”

“Okay.” This time, Chu Heng didn’t refuse, stood up, and offered his arm for her to hold.

He shifted most of his weight onto Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu didn’t expose his little scheme, and the two walked side by side toward the backyard.

When they returned to the yard, Nuanbao had already been brought back, sleeping peacefully in the crib.

Chun Xing, dutifully standing guard, quickly got up when she saw Ye Muyu return.

Ye Muyu first helped Chu Heng onto the chaise lounge and whispered instructions to Chun Xing, “Put clean diapers, New Year’s clothes, pacifiers, and such things inside. Keep the milk warm. Once you finish, take some rest.”

“Thank you, lady.” Chun Xing had already arranged to spend New Year’s Eve with Su Mei and the other maidservants, playing cards and chatting.

Clearly, the lady was allowing her to go have fun now.

Chun Xing went about her tasks.

Ye Muyu poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Heng, placed the teapot on the stove to keep warm, and fetched books and chess to entertain Chu Heng.

She first adjusted Nuanbao’s sleeping posture, checked the diaper, and seeing it was clean, left it unchanged, and straightened the quilt.

After finishing these tasks, she retrieved the sewing basket, laid the nearly finished clothes on the bed, and settled on the footstool to complete the final touches.

Chun Xing finished the entrusted tasks, and after confirming the lady had no further instructions, she turned to leave.

She was actually heading to the nearby servants’ quarters, not leaving the yard.

On New Year’s Eve, everyone was allowed to mingle instead of remaining in their own rooms. Those with good relationships could chat as long as they registered their entry and exit information for visiting.

Only the servants on duty needed to remain stationed.

Among them, the most diligent were Chu Heng’s secret guards.

Ye Muyu took just an hour to finish the final touches.

Looking at the completed parent-child outfits, she smiled contentedly.

She set aside Chu Ziluo’s outfit and planned to have it delivered tomorrow morning.

Lil’ Jin’s was put in the wardrobe, saved for when he returns.

The night was still long.

Ye Muyu rubbed her shoulder and went over.

Chu Heng heard the sound, put down the book in his hands, and as Ye Muyu approached, he reached out to massage her shoulders.
