Peasant Woman s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1095: Chapter 1092: You Look Good

“The lady is wise and also letting the people benefit. Think about it, why do those people intentionally go to the noodle workshop to work, yet leave after just a few days?”

“That’s because they come to steal the techniques!” Chun Xing said, somewhat angrily.

The servant boy added, “Yeah, those people are too despicable.”

Seeing the two murmuring complaints, Su Mei thought of the lady and always felt that she had a way to deal with it. She simply asked, “How long has this been happening?”

“It’s been a month or two.” The servant boy, who was always outside following the master, sometimes bought pastries to bring back to the lady or helped the master gather information about Yuzhou City, so he knew more about the outside news.

“Has the lady not dealt with it yet?”

“I will mention it to the lady tomorrow,” Su Mei thought aloud and then heard the sound of water from the bathroom. Soon after, Chu Heng came out from there.

The two servant boys hurried over to help.

Chu Heng said indifferently, “You can leave now.”

Su Mei and Chun Xing, along with the old woman, proceeded to empty the water from the tub.

Chu Heng entered the inner chamber and felt a wave of warmth. He had already gotten rid of the smell of blood before stopping.

He walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to touch Ye Muyu’s face, and planted a kiss on her cheek before lifting the quilt and lying down.

The unoccupied part of the bed was rather cool. His hand touched the woman’s hand, and it was still cool. Chu Heng frowned, moved his leg, and indeed, Ye Muyu’s feet were also cool.

He unconsciously withdrew his leg, but the woman by his side seemed to automatically seek the heat source and squeezed into his arms. Her slightly cool feet rested on his legs, and her tender, boneless hands lay on his chest.

They formed a stark contrast to his burning hot body.

Chu Heng looked down at the woman in his arms, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his arm to pull her into his embrace, placing his large hand on her slender waist.

He didn’t know when he had fallen asleep, but when he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.

Ye Muyu had slept very well all night. Last night, being by herself, the colder the weather, the harder it was for the quilt to warm up. Suffering from cold body syndrome, she would have cold hands and feet during the winter, and she could barely feel warm by curling up deep into the night.

Normally, with Chu Heng by her side, she never felt cold.

Last night, by herself, she once again felt the chill, but warmed up again during the latter half of the night.

When Ye Muyu opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face close to her and smiled. She leaned over and kissed his cheek, “Ah Heng?”

The man didn’t respond as if he had not yet awoken.

Feeling playful, Ye Muyu’s gaze settled on his long eyelashes, beneath the sharp brows were a pair of beautiful eyes, now closed, revealing only the lengthy lashes, dark and dense, appearing beautiful even at a cursory glance.

She stretched out her finger and gently scratched his eyelashes. His dense brows felt like a small brush; as her fingers lightly touched them, a faint itching sensation spread from her fingertips.

Unable to resist, she yearned to touch his brows. Just as she slightly raised her hand without actually lowering it, her wrist was suddenly grasped by a large hand.

Ye Muyu was startled, her eyes widened slightly, “You, you woke up?”

“What were you just doing?” Chu Heng asked with a smile, deliberately inquiring.

“I was looking at you,” Ye Muyu responded with a beaming smile, a sly spark in her eyes as she pressed on, “You look good.”

Chu Heng’s eyes deepened, and the large hand on her waist lightly mischievously moved, “Ah Yu, you look even better.”

“Stop, stop…” Ye Muyu saw his hand becoming more unruly and hurriedly showed weakness, reaching out to grasp his large hand.
