Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The corner of Lu Sangqi’s mouth twitched as he thought, ‘How fake.’
“Zhang Shu, send the guest out.” After the consultation, Chu Heng immediately wanted to send him out. Lu Sangqi did not even have time to react.
When he stood up and walked to the door, he realized that Chu Heng had despised him again.
His stubbornness came out.
He stood still and smiled lightly, “It’s already noon, Chu… Madam Ye, aren’t you going to invite me for lunch?”
The name spun on his lips, and he changed it at the last minute.
Because Chu Heng was even more rude to him, Ye Muyu had to give him some face.
“Doctor Qi, you don’t have to lower yourself. There’s no good food at home. You definitely won’t be able to accept it.” Seeing that he wanted to stay, Chu Heng immediately chased him away.
Ye Muyu had never seen Chu Heng so restless.
However, thinking about it, he was not an easy person to talk to. Even to the clansmen in the village, he always followed his own thoughts.
“What do you think, Doctor Qi?”
“I heard that Lady Ye cooks well,” Lu Sangqi said shamelessly. “How could I miss it?”
Seeing Chu Heng squint his eyes as if he were going to use a forceful method, Ye Muyu reached out and grabbed his arm. “Husband, Doctor Qi is tired from treating me. He can stay for a meal. It’s not a big deal.”
“Don’t you have to go to school in the afternoon? Why don’t you go and rest for a while?”
Ye Muyu felt that since it was just a meal, she should just pretend that Qi Sang did not exist. Otherwise, Chu Heng would use forceful means. If this person went out to talk nonsense, it would be a nuisance.
The provincial examination was less than a month away. This was an important imperial examination that would determine whether Chu Heng could become an official in the future. There was no need to cause any more trouble for him to solve and delay time.
“That works too.” Chu Heng’s eyes were deep. He brushed Ye Muyu’s face and then ordered Madam Hu, “Give Doctor Qi some more bitter gourd tea to prevent the heat.”
“…Yes, Master.” Madam Hu dared not disobey the order. She went into the kitchen and made fresh bitter gourd tea for Lu Sangqi.
Lu Sangqi’s face changed slightly and he did not know what to say.
He knew that Chu Heng and Madam Ye were not good people.
No matter how he gritted his teeth, no one paid any attention to him.
After Chu Heng got up, he pulled Ye Muyu out of the central room and headed straight for the east wing.
Ye Muyu happened to catch up with him and was a little confused.
After entering the east wing, Chu Heng closed the door and the window.
Ye Muyu looked at his series of actions and asked curiously, “You… What are you doing? Do you want to tell me about the Lu family?”
Other than that, she could not think of anything else. She only thought Chu Heng was so serious as to prevent Qi Sang from hearing.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Chu Heng suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Ye Muyu was shocked, and her heart was stuck in her throat.
The thumping of her heart made her ears turn red.
“Chu Heng, let go of me.” She pushed him away with her tender hands on his chest.
“Didn’t you call me husband just now?” Chu Heng’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were filled with accusation.
Ye Muyu pursed her lips and tried to calm herself down. She explained, “That was in front of outsiders. Didn’t Mother say that we should do that?” She had an idea and pushed it to Madam Liu.
Chu Heng’s gaze fell on her face. He saw that her eyes were bright and calm, and there was even a faint smile on her face. She looked very sensible..
