Chapter 1265: Chapter 1262 Cultivating Affection

Chu Heng methodically wiped his hands clean before raising his head to look at her, his lips curved in a smile, “Take your time with the soak, let me know if it gets cold, and I’ll add more hot water. In a little while, I’ll take you to have a meal. No need to go to the study tonight, just stay in the room.”

“If it’s convenient for you, we can just stay here,” Ye Muyu didn’t notice anything amiss.

Chu Heng stood up and leaned over to place a kiss on her forehead.

“I’m going to change my clothes.”

“Mm.” It turned out that Chu Heng hadn’t changed out of his official uniform even after being home for so long.

Ye Muyu soaked her feet, adding hot water halfway through. The originally slightly painful soles of her feet soon felt much better, and she belatedly realized that Chu Heng had been giving her a foot massage earlier.

Su Mei entered once she saw it was about time.

“Lady, the water has cooled down a bit, do you want to keep soaking?” Su Mei asked softly, increasingly afraid to speak loudly in front of Ye Muyu, lest the master hear and they would have to experience his coldness again.

“No need to soak any longer,” Ye Muyu shook her head, intending to dry her feet herself.

Before she could bend over, Su Mei snatched the towel and began to dry her feet with adept movements.

“Lady, let the servant do it. You are pregnant now and it’s inconvenient for you to bend over,” Su Mei quickly explained upon seeing her puzzled look.

Ye Muyu didn’t refuse. Although she was only just over four months pregnant and not showing much, she could faintly sense the little life inside her. Bending over was indeed becoming quite difficult.

“Did I just hear Ah Heng talking outside the door?” Only now did Ye Muyu think to ask, as she had previously been too immersed in the blush of embarrassment to pay much attention.

Su Mei was reminded of the master’s expression from earlier, even the maidservant who had been attending to them had been sent to work in the woodshed.

The maidservants who had previously dared to gossip about the lady and the master’s relationship now truly kept their mouths shut.

In this moment, even Su Mei became acutely aware that the master was not a man of good temper, and all his previous kindness was an illusion. She quickly changed her attitude towards Chu Heng, becoming even more respectful.

“Lady, the master was just instructing the servants to take good care of you,” Su Mei came up with the excuse on the fly, heeding Chu Heng’s earlier hint when he left.

“I’m actually fine,” Ye Muyu moved her lips, uttering these words and noticing that Su Mei didn’t respond as she usually would. This caused a flicker of doubt in her heart, but she didn’t dwell on it, “Did Ah Heng go for a bath?”

“Yes, there wasn’t enough hot water in the kitchen, so the master was delayed for a while. It might be a bit longer,” Su Mei answered honestly.

“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll read for a while,” Ye Muyu, lacking anything better to do, picked up a storybook and began reading while reclining on the soft couch.

Su Mei didn’t disturb her, making sure to light some mosquito-repelling incense in the room.

Halfway through the book, Chu Heng returned.

The couple went hand in hand to the living room to dine.

After chatting with the elders for a while, they returned to their room.

Chu Heng did as he said, bringing the files back to the room to review.

It was too early, and Ye Muyu couldn’t sleep, so she didn’t disturb him and instead started perusing the account books by his side.

Especially the food shop’s account book, which she hadn’t looked at for quite some time and now realized they had made so much just from selling potato products.

It had been three months since they started the food shop selling potatoes.

The income each month had astonishingly reached more than three thousand taels. She had used all the profits to buy grain and send it to the Northern Region, and she had told Chu Heng about this when he returned.
