Chapter 1804: Chapter 1801: Unconvinced

“Drink some snow pear soup first, so you don’t catch a cold and start coughing,” Ye Muyu said dryly.

Chu Heng laughed, “Okay.”

He did as promised, picked up the spoon, and slowly started drinking. The snow pear soup tasted alright, and he finished it quickly under Ye Muyu’s supervision, even ate the pears in it.

Ye Muyu also helped him dry half of his hair.

Chu Heng noticed her movements were getting slower, she would always stop to rest before continuing, realizing that Ye Muyu was tired.

He reached out, took the towel, and gently pulled Ye Muyu to sit down, “Take a seat for now. Do you have something to tell me?”

Chu Heng’s ability to change the topic was too powerful, so much so that Ye Muyu didn’t realize she had abandoned her task halfway through. She leaned on the wooden table, nodded, “I do. It’s just that, after you hear it, calm down first, and help me think about whether it’s true.”

Seeing her troubled look, Chu Heng slightly furrowed his brows. His lips were a bit swollen, making him look adorably cute, his eyes full of laughter, but he didn’t say anything, nodding slightly while wiping his head, “Mm, go ahead.”

“I suspect that Zhongjin might like Chu Ziluo.” After Ye Muyu spoke, she watched Chu Heng’s reaction closely, knowing that although Chu Heng usually didn’t say much to the kids, he was very attentive. Even on days when something was off with the kids’ emotions, he could notice and handle it promptly, sometimes even before Ye Muyu realized.

Therefore, in Ye Muyu’s view, Chu Heng was indeed very caring towards the kids.

Chu Heng was indeed stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, “Hmm, I got it.”

“Why aren’t you surprised?” Ye Muyu asked curiously, momentarily forgetting her worries, and she asked angrily.

Chu Heng reached out and tapped her on the nose, amused, “I didn’t say I wasn’t surprised.”

“But you didn’t show it,” Ye Muyu argued.

Chu Heng sighed slightly, “Ah Yu, have you forgotten that your husband here never likes to show emotions on his face? Only in front of you do I let them show.”

Ye Muyu rubbed her ears, feeling them burning. It was clearly an ordinary sentence, but Chu Heng made it sound like a love confession. She mumbled, “Alright, let’s not talk about this. The point is, do you think my suspicion is true?”

With that, she explained her reasoning.

“Whether it’s true or not, as long as Li Chongjin hasn’t gotten closer to Chu Ziluo, and they maintain proper boundaries, I’ll look at him favorably. As for whether fate will align for them, there’s no need to worry yet. You’ve already said you’ll keep Ziluo here for a few more years. We don’t agree on marriage, and there’s nothing others can do about it.”

“As for Li Chongjin, he’s a Prince; he knows what he wants better than us.” Chu Heng reached out and ruffled her hair, “You, you just love to gossip too much, can’t even spare our daughter?”

Ye Muyu protested, “That’s not true. Though I am a tad bit curious, I wouldn’t make jokes about our daughter. You owe me an apology, otherwise, hmm hm…”

Seeing her stubborn little pride, Chu Heng couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to poke her cheek, “Or what?”

“Or I’ll bite you,” Ye Muyu glanced at his wrist, only to find no soft spot to sink her teeth into, felt a bit dissatisfied and decisively gave up on the urge to bite.
