Chapter 1905: Chapter 1902: So Cute
Ye Muyu said decisively.
In her heart, outsiders will never compare to family.
Chu Heng reached out to touch her cheek, looking at the rosy lips, he couldnât resist leaning in to kiss her, and soon enough her lips were red and swollen, slightly moist.
Ye Muyu shyly licked her lips, feeling her tongue a bit numb, unaware of how enticing her actions were.
Chu Hengâs eyes deepened, his Adamâs apple shifted slightly, and as his gaze fell on her bandaged injured arm, he barely restrained his urge to go further, reluctantly rubbing his forehead, such a teasing little thing.
âHmm, I understand; this can be considered as you helping me out.â These days, Chu Heng had been collecting evidence.
He wasnât planning to expose things immediately.
Even though he had reported the investigation results to Emperor Xuanming.
But the other party didnât give any further orders, only instructing him to secretly eliminate hidden threats from an underground network.
While he was busy identifying these people, he also didnât miss the chance to gather evidence on the implicated high officials and nobles, who were unaware he already had most of the evidence in hand.
Physical evidence was manageable; witness testimony was relatively troublesome, so he mostly left it untouched.
âBy the way, a few days ago, I ran into a young man at the clinic. I had people follow him, but thereâs no news yet. However, I have a feeling that young man might have experienced something similar.â Ye Muyu said awkwardly, her face slightly flushed, stumbling over her words and finally giving Chu Hengâs fingers a squeeze to conclude, âIf thereâs any news from him, Iâll let you know.â
âDidnât you say before that some victims were also handsome men, after all, some people have a penchant for othersâŠâ Ye Muyu trailed off, really not wanting to continue.
Chu Heng reached out and flicked her forehead.
Ye Muyu instinctively covered her forehead with her hand in pain, âWhat are you doing? It hurts.â
âDonât listen to these things anymore.â Chu Heng frowned, displeased that someone had been spreading such gossip to Ye Muyu.
Itâs not healthy content; thereâs no need to sully peopleâs ears with it.
Ye Muyu thought to herself, whatâs disgusting wasnât homosexuality, but the means used to tarnish someoneâs innocence.
âIâm just getting a general understanding, I wonât act recklessly.â Ye Muyu pinched his ear.
She intended to tease him, but found that Chu Hengâs ears were turning redder and redder, as if she had discovered something rare, she smiled with her eyes curving into crescents.
âHahaha⊠Ah Heng, youâre actually shyâŠâ
As someone often described by colleagues at court as cold-faced and black-hearted, Lord Chu being shy was quite the oddity.
Seeing her so delighted, Chu Hengâs eyes turned deep, and he leaned directly forward to cover her mouth with his.
Ye Muyu didnât stop laughing because of this, instead, her laughter turned more joyous.
The laughter gradually changed from the initial âhahahaâ to a muffled âmmm-mmmâ.
When Chu Heng sat upright, his gaze plaintive, not looking at her, he got up to open the door, while Ye Muyu still hadnât stopped her laughter.
She found looking over at Chu Hengâs back gave her a sore neck, since he was quite tall.
So she propped herself up on the bed and sat up, her eyes curving with a smile, âAh Heng, youâre too cute.â
Su Mei, who had just brought in the midnight snack: ââŠâ My lady, what are these scandalous words youâre saying?
She couldnât help but glance up at the master.
Seeing the same expressionless face, she thought, thatâs more like it, thereâs no way the master would be described with the word âcuteâ.
Chu Heng didnât let the servants in to help, instead, he carried the dumplings over to the table himself.
