“Ah Yu, were you bullied just now?” Chu Heng asked worriedly, his gaze sweeping over her body, trying to find some clues.
Ye Muyu was angry at first, but since Chu Heng had protected her and said those words the moment he came back, her anger disappeared.
“No, she’s just arguing. Her words are unpleasant. Fortunately, you’re back. Otherwise, her words would have affected your reputation.” Ye Muyu looked at him and said.
Chu Heng’s heart ached when he heard that. Ah Yu was only worried about his reputation, but she did not mention her own grievances.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.” Chu Heng thought that since his sister was already married and was so nosy, it was better for her husband’s family to handle it.
“Father, are these the gifts you brought back for me?” Chu Ziluo was no longer afraid. Now that her father was back, no one would dare to bully her and her mother.
She was no longer sad. Looking at the gifts on the table, she could not stop smiling.
“Yes, it’s all yours. Take it to your room and take a look.” Chu Heng reached out and rubbed her head, his eyes full of love.
Chu Ziluo stood up happily and let Nenya carry the gifts. There were new dresses, flower ornaments, new pastries, rabbit masks, rabbit lanterns, and many other things to eat and play with.
There were even some new miscellaneous notes.
After Ziluo left, Chu Heng could not hold it in anymore. He wrapped his arms around Ye Muyu’s waist and pulled his wife into his arms.
Before Ye Muyu could react, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Ye Muyu blushed and hit his chest. How could her hits hurt? Chu Heng grabbed her hand and interlocked his fingers tightly.
After a while, Chu Heng finally let go of her when he heard footsteps approaching.
Ye Muyu’s face turned red with embarrassment. Her eyes glistened as she glared at him. “You’re already messing around when you just got back. It’s broad daylight now. How can you…”
“Ah Yu, I miss you.” Chu Heng’s face was full of smiles, and sweet nothings came out of his mouth.
Ye Muyu blushed even more when she heard his words. She quickly changed the topic and pointed at the things on the table. “Why did you bring so many things back?” she asked. “Your carriage isn’t big and you can’t rest well. With so many things, it won’t be easy to travel, right?”
“It’s okay. These are all local specialties. There’s also some dried mutton and new fabrics. We have all the food ingredients you’ve wanted to buy in the past. We have dried seafood and shrimp slices. “Chu Heng was very familiar with it, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Muyu’s face.
Ye Muyu ignored him, so he grabbed her hand and gently drew circles on her palm, not letting her take it back.
“Why are you back so early?” Seeing that he wanted to hold her hand, Ye Muyu went along with him. After all, they had not seen each other for so long.
“I came back after looking at the results. I was worried about you guys at home.”
That was right. The students and rich masters of the prefecture city wanted to look for him, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. Chu Heng rushed back that night without hesitation. The journey that should have taken seven or eight days had been completed in three days. It was obvious that he was travel-worn.
In fact, he was already quite tired. After all, he had not slept for three days in a row. However, when he saw his wife and daughter, he felt at ease and felt that it was worth it to rush back.
“How is it?” Ye Muyu asked cautiously.
Chu Heng could not help but laugh when he saw her careful appearance. He reached out and pinched her face, explaining the situation one by one. “Yes, the results are out. I think the good news will come in a few days..”
