Chapter 869: Good Looking
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was hotpot, some side dishes, winter bamboo shoots, and carp soup that warmed the stomach in winter.
After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to their respective rooms.
Ye Muyu went back to her room and washed up. She lit the oil lamp and sat on the soft couch, continuing to write the medical case that she had not finished before.
Chu Heng came back when she was almost done writing.
Chu Heng walked in and saw the two maids waiting in the room. He frowned slightly. “You can go out.”
“Master, we haven’t helped Madam make the bed yet,” Su Mei said boldly.
“No need.” His frown deepened.
The little bit of courage that Su Mei had mustered up disappeared in fear because of the coldness in his eyes. She hurriedly bowed and retreated.
“Wait a minute.” Chu Heng suddenly called out to them again.
The two servant girls looked at him, trembling.
“Which cabinet is the bedding in?”
“It’s on the second row on the left in the cupboard…” Su Mei hurriedly said.
Chu Heng was satisfied and waved his hand. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to leave.
Ye Muyu heard his voice and looked up at him. She patted the spot beside her.” Why are you so fierce? You scared Sumei and the others.”
“I just thought that I was enough to take care of you. There’s no need for anyone else.” Chu Heng walked over and squeezed her hand. When he saw the dozens of cases she had written, his face immediately darkened, “Ah Yu, why are you so concerned? Even if you don’t have these things, and Eldest Young Master Luo’s legs can’t be treated, there are still ways to make Luo Qingxue’s efforts go to waste.”
“Isn’t saving a life a good thing…?” Ye Muyu hesitated for a while before giving such a reason. “Actually, I just think that very few people want to be crippled. It’s a good thing that they can be cured.”
She was purely trying to help as much as she could.
“It’s not because he’s handsome?” Chu Heng asked as he held her waist and approached her face.
Ye Muyu’s eyes widened. “Is he handsome? Why didn’t I know? Is there a portrait?”
Chu Heng said with a cold face, “No, he’s actually very ugly. His face is full of pockmarks. Didn’t you say that you like my looks? Let me show you.”
As he spoke, the man placed his face in front of her, looking as if he was letting her admire him.
Ye Muyu could not help but laugh at his cute reaction. She poked his face with her finger. “Ah Heng, you’re so silly. I don’t even know him. Why do you care about his appearance?”
“However, you are indeed very good-looking.” Ye Muyu did not value looks that much, but she always felt better when she saw something beautiful. Chu Heng was very good-looking, especially when wearing a black silk robe with a belt around his waist, making him look slim yet a little muscular.
“Ah Yu, it’s good that you like it.” Chu Heng immediately hugged her tightly and whispered into her ear.
“Yes,” Ye Muyu patted his back and coaxed him. “In my heart, Ah Heng is the most important and the most beautiful person.”
Just the words ‘most important’ were enough to move Chu Heng deeply. His dark eyes were glistening with tears.
Chu Heng had a good night’s sleep.
After getting up, he did not let anyone disturb Ye Muyu’s rest. He changed his clothes, went out with his sword, and went to the front yard to practice.
Ye Muyu was sleeping soundly, revealing only her pink face under the blanket.
Su Mei and Su Lan lowered their voices and walked in, adding more charcoal to the brazier.
Su Mei thought of Ye Muyu’s instructions yesterday and quickly walked to the window, quietly opening a gap.
