Chapter 232: Xie Family's Promise
Xie Yu pondered for a moment and then said, "Madam, this is a token from me in the Xie family. With this token, the Xie family will grant Madams request."
He emphasized that it was the Xie family's promise, not just his own.
It was evident that this promise carried significant weight.
Ye Muyu felt a sense of unmerited favor and immediately declined "Young Master Xie, there's no need for such formalities. These are just everyday dishes and any experienced chef who has tasted them can replicate the flavors."
"I can't accept such a generous gift. Please take it back."
"Madam, please don't refuse. I understand that if I only offer money, it might seem a bit indifferent. I genuinely want to befriend Madam. If I can continue enjoying such delicious food in the future, it would be worth it. I hope Madam can fulfill Xie Yu's wish." Xie Yu said, blushing slightly toward the end.
If he initially presented the token because he didn't know how to offer money and felt embarrassed about taking advantage, Ye Muyu's straightforward refusal made him appreciate the opportunity to establish a friendship.
Both Chu Heng and Ye Muyu herself shared this sentiment.
"In that case, I'll accept it." Ye Muyu was open-minded and didn't dwell on trivial matters. Since it was a gesture of friendship, there was no harm in starting from here.
"Excellent." Xie Yu smiled warmly.
Soon, the servant brought winter melon tea.
Xie Yu had already eaten a lot, so he took only a sip of the winter melon tea. Although he found the flavor a bit peculiar, he chose not to have more.
He couldn't help but feel that the Chu family's dishes were indeed to his liking.
As for Ye Muyu, the wife of Chu Heng, he had stopped wondering why Chu Heng liked her. At this point, he only felt envy.
She was polite, knew how to cook, and seemed to be the ideal wife he had in mind.
After seeing off Xie Yu and his sister, Ye Muyu stood at the door and watched them leave.
Just as she was about to return to her room with Hu to tidy up the dishes, Chu Heng quickly walked up to her.
"Where's the token?" Chu Heng's voice sounded a bit impatient.
Ye Muyu looked at him in confusion "I had Hu put it in our bedroom. Such a valuable item shouldn't be carried around. Besides, whose token is it? It looked like something personal of Xie Yu's, so why would I carry it?"
Without mentioning that it was a man's possession, it was clear that it belonged to Xie Yu. How could she carry such an item on her person?
Hearing her response, Chu Heng's face improved considerably.
Seeing Ye Muyu still looking at him in confusion, Chu Heng cleared his throat, disguising his awkwardness, and asked "How do you plan to use it? That token."
"Use?" Ye Muyu shook her head, "I don't plan to use it."
"I hope that when I don't need such an item, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself."
"You can still rely on me." Chu Heng asserted confidently. Initially happy that Ye Muyu accepted the token out of courtesy and seemed indifferent, he was taken aback when he heard her last words. His brows furrowed and he wanted to break her mindset.
He was her husband and she should rely on him for everything. If he couldn't support his own wife, what kind of man would he be?
Observing Chu Heng's stubborn gaze, Ye Muyu nodded "Yes, you're right. What I meant is, I won't rely on others, only make friends."
CH is so freaking high-maintenance, no wonder his original wife croaked...
