Chu Heng thought she was afraid of mistaking someone, and quickly explained: "No matter what you become, I can recognize you at a glance because only with you do I feel moved. Even though she resembles you, as soon as she speaks, I know she isnât you."
"Is she... the original Madam Ye?" Ye Muyu asked hesitantly, gripping Chu Hengâs hand tightly, feeling a tension she hadnât realized. Regardless of the reason, the one who married Chu Heng in the past was the original self, not her.
She wasnât concerned about the past after all, she could be sure Chu Heng didnât love the original self.
However, she feared the original self might be dissatisfied with modern life and want to come back.
"Thatâs right." That Madam Ye was the one in Chu Hengâs heart in the past life; with her, he had long felt their fate ended in the past life.
"Did she recognize you?" Ye Muyu asked nervously.
Perhaps she herself hadnât expected this unexpected situation, which made her feel uneasy. Originally, she thought that once traversing here, she would always live here. With Chu Heng around, even the backward ancient times didnât seem bad, and she didnât want to leave.
But what if she couldnât resist and had to leave?
"Donât be afraid." The first moment, Chu Heng noticed her emotional turmoil and quickly grabbed her fingers: "Even though I was unconscious for over three months, in reality, I lived for three years in the dream."
"Iâve met Madam Ye. Sheâs very satisfied with modern life and doesnât want to return. Your original family is very indulgent with her; when she saw me, she was surprised and stated that she had no relationship with me and told me not to pester her anymore." Upon saying this, Chu Hengâs expression was somewhat complex.
He considered himself to have treated Madam Ye fairly but didnât expect to be rejected one day. However, he wasnât angry but rather relieved. Madam Ye was living a good life; although, to him, her life seemed somewhat debauched, in modern terms, it was normal. He didnât bother with othersâ affairs.
No longer having anything to do with Madam Ye was good for both of them. In modern times, there are so many separations, showing that it couldnât go on, so they peacefully part ways. He wasnât worried that his marriage with the original Madam Ye would prevent him from wholeheartedly treating Ah Yu.
Being able to clarify things with Madam Ye dissipated the unpleasantness he had long kept in his heart.
Ye Muyu blinked in surprise: "Really?"
That didnât seem right; clearly, the first time she was critically ill, and saw Madam Ye, the other continuously wanted to have her compensate Chu Heng. She hadnât allowed it at the time because she heard Chu Hengâs voice, was unwilling, and hadnât decided when she woke up, thinking it was merely a dream.
Chu Heng cupped her face repeatedly, gently kissing her lips: "Ah Yu, rest assured, she really said that. I wouldnât lie to you."
"Furthermore, Madam Ye is living well in this world. She doesnât want to come back, and she canât come back. You wonât return, and as for me, although I donât know why there is a body in this world integrated with my soul, you are here, I wonât go anywhere, so I returned."
"How did you come back?" Ye Muyu tightly grasped his sleeve, asking nervously.
Chu Heng pinched her hand: "Thanks to you."
"Hmm?" Ye Muyu was puzzled.
"Was it Master Yuanhe who said to let you do good deeds to earn merit?"
"Thatâs right." Ye Muyu nodded, "Could it be because of this I brought you back?"
