Chapter 2298 - 2295: Enjoyment

After putting down the chopsticks, Ye Muyu had almost finished eating.

Of course, Ye Muyu couldn’t match his appetite, mainly because she ate slowly.

After finishing her meal and taking a sip of sour plum soup, she blinked and looked at Chu Heng, suddenly asking, "Ah Heng, where did you put the scarf I made?"

"What scarf? I don’t know." Chu Heng paused for a moment, then reacted quickly, feigning ignorance.

If Ye Muyu hadn’t heard Su Mei’s report that afternoon, she might have really believed his innocence.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "The scarf I made for Yun ’er, they’re all part of the kid’s set, why are you keeping it? Weren’t we agreed, I’ll make you one now."

"Cough, really?" Chu Heng didn’t forget to bargain for his benefits first.

Seeing his probing gaze, Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh. Chu Heng was usually steady, but who knew he had such childish moments in private.

Ye Muyu was very happy to be the person by his side, able to see this side of Chu Heng, which made them seem even more caring and close.

What could be more satisfying than mutual trust with the one you love.

"This afternoon, the team that was sent to deliver New Year’s gifts to Father, Mother, and Big Brother left. Originally nothing seemed missing, but as you know, recently some people have been causing trouble, so we checked several times to avoid mistakes and found Yun ’er’s gift missing." Ye Muyu saw Chu Heng was a bit embarrassed and explained softly, seeing his gaze, she smiled and said, "Didn’t I tell you before, after making Yun ’er’s, I’d make yours, why are you acting like a child, insisting on being first."

"Besides, I’m quick at handiwork. By the time these things reach the Northern Region, you’ll probably be wearing the one I made for you. So technically, you’re the first to get a scarf made by me this year." Ye Muyu balanced work with rest.

Actually if Chu Heng hadn’t caused a fuss, she might have delayed this matter because of sorting books.

Of course, she definitely couldn’t tell Chu Heng this.

Didn’t he see how hard she worked to coax him.

Ye Muyu sighed inwardly.

Taking the basket of yarn that had been prepared a long time ago, she intended to start her handiwork tonight, after all, she’d organized quite a few books during the day and even written quite a bit of new material.

Chu Heng contentedly carried her back to the soft couch, placing her beside him and letting her lean against his chest.

His two long arms encircled her, creating an affectionate atmosphere that would make outsiders embarrassed to interrupt.

When Su Mei and the maidservants came in to clear the dishes, they were too embarrassed to lift their heads.

While sorting the yarn, Ye Muyu sighed, "Ah, with you back, I don’t even need to walk anymore. When this winter passes, who knows how much weight I’ve gained."

She frowned a bit displeased and pinched the soft flesh at her waist.

Actually, there wasn’t much to pinch.

But compared to her sharply defined waistline in the summer, her waist was noticeably softer now.

Who could blame her for not going out to exercise during winter.

The reason was simple.

The capital winters were just too cold.

Having gotten used to Jiangnan, even though she’d been in the capital for a while, she still couldn’t quite handle going out in the dead of winter.

Of course, enjoying a life at home with a brazier, a heated bed, and half-open windows was quite luxurious for Ye Muyu.

Thinking about how she worked to earn money just so she could be comfortable.

She instantly felt no embarrassment at all.
