 Chapter 180: What's there to smile about...

Regarding the business with the Xie family, it was merely to satisfy Ye Muyu's desire for wealth. As for relying on the Xie family for a smoother career path, that never crossed Chu Heng's mind.

Ye Muyu blinked, watching as Chu Heng naturally treated her as his wife. She gently placed her hand on her chest as if her heart was beating a bit faster for a moment.

Lowering her gaze, she hid the complex emotions in her eyes.

When she raised her head again, she regained her composure and nodded, "Alright."

"I consulted the master, tomorrow is an auspicious day. I've already informed the clan and your mother. We'll host a banquet tomorrow. Your health is not an issue, I've arranged for someone to take care of the preparations. As for the rest, your mother will handle it. You just need to accompany me to the ancestral hall to pay respects and update the family records."

Chu Heng squatted in front of her, naturally taking her hand. He slowly explained the details of the banquet's proceedings, skipping over the preparations, simply telling her not to worry.

Apart from that, he emphasized the specific details to be mindful of during the ancestral worship.

"Oh, I understand, but will it be too tiring for mother to handle the feast alone?" Ye Muyu couldn't help but feel it was too troublesome for Chu Liushi. She wasn't accustomed to troubling others.

Even when Chu Heng said not to worry, she subconsciously wondered if it was an excuse, a drawback of her independence since childhood.

"No, I've invited quite a few people to help. Your mother will only need to arrange when the meals will be served. During our visit to the ancestral hall, they will assist in entertaining the guests. It's all family members, no need to feel uneasy. I'll be there to toast as well, so you don't have to worry at all."

Chu Heng made it clear, his pitch-black eyes fixed on her. When Ye Muyu looked away, he grabbed her chin, not letting her escape. She met his earnest gaze and her breath hitched as the touch of his hand on her chin felt unusually warm. "Hmm, I understand." she stammered.

A hint of amusement flashed in Chu Heng's deep eyes, and a magnetic chuckle resonated in his throat.

Hearing the laughter, Ye Muyu looked up, breath caught, seeing Chu Heng actually laughing. She almost thought it was a hallucination.

Chu Heng found her reaction amusing, the smile on his face deepening. He reached out to ruffle her hair, stood up, and laughed heartily.

Ye Muyu: "..."

Unable to hold back, she shot a glare at Chu Heng's back, wondering what was so funny.

Internally mocking, she maintained a poised and gentle smile on her face.

Chu Heng, walking towards the fire, noticed her change in mood. The smile in his eyes intensified.

Fifteen minutes later.

The soft fragrant cake was ready.

After preparing the soft fragrant cake, Chu Heng deliberately cut three pieces.

Chu Jin's portion was sent to the school by him.

"Ziluo, bring this out for your mother to taste."

"Okay, Dad." Chu Ziluo felt a sense of accomplishment, after all she contributed to teaching her father to make it. She probably deserved half the credit!

At this point, Ye Muyu was already reading in the study.

Hearing the sound, she looked up and saw Ziluo bringing in the soft fragrant cake.

"Ziluo, did you finish making them?" Ye Muyu looked at the pastries in front of her. They were surprisingly well-presented. She wondered about the taste...

Curious, she took a bite. The taste was unexpectedly good, the cooking was perfectly controlled. She could now confidently say that Chu Heng could indeed cook.

"Ziluo, where's your father?"

"Mom, Dad said he went directly to the county with the soft fragrant cake. He told me to take care of you and he'll be back before lunch."
