 Chapter 318: Holding Hands

After obtaining the red deed, Wang Chuan finally realized that the reason Chu Heng came was not because the store was under his name. On the contrary, the store belonged to Ye Muyu as her private property, a part of her dowry. Chu Heng personally agreed to this and he had also paved the way at the county office. In the future, even Chu Heng wouldn't be able to take back this store.


The proceeds from this store were also part of Ye Muyu's dowry, and only she had the authority to dispose of them.


Although they knew that the two of them had a good relationship, they didn't expect it to be this deep.


Wang Chuan couldn't help but marvel and couldn't resist casting a few more glances at Chu Heng. The one who earned his admiration displayed no reluctance from beginning to end and instead joy was revealed in his eyes.


Majestic.


This was the first word Wang Chuan learned from Chu Heng.


He couldn't help but reflect on himself.


"Alright, let's go back. Aren't you going to take an exam? Have you had lunch? By the way I brought you some red bean milk skin made with milk. I thought you would like sweet desserts." After looking at the red deed, Ye Muyu put it away and remembered that Chu Heng was still in the seasonal exams, urging him to return to school.


Wang Chuan also remained silent, serving as a backdrop. At this moment he didn't want to keep anyone behind. After all, he had already disturbed Chu Heng once this morning, which was quite impolite.


Hearing Ye Muyu mention freshly-made food, Chu Heng's mood became joyful and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "There's still an hour before the exam begins. There's plenty of time."


"Do you want to go with me to the academy?"


"Huh? Can I go in? It seems that women are not allowed in the academy." Ye Muyu knew about this, as Liu Shu, the gatekeeper had mentioned it.


She remembered it very clearly. It was precisely because of this that she realized the high status of scholars in Greater Chu.


"You are my wife, my family. Naturally, you can enter my study."


"Just go to the study, not the academy?" Ye Muyu asked, still worried.


Chu Heng habitually reached out and held her hand, walking towards the carriage outside the yamen.


"Yes, the study is where I usually rest. It's a separate room that won't affect other students. The academy also allows family members to visit once a month."


Ye Muyu was held by him feeling the warmth transmitted through her hand. She was momentarily stunned by the touch of his hand.


Before she could react, she was already being led out.


"Oh." She responded after a while.


Chu Heng smiled, walking ahead.


Ye Muyu followed closely behind.


Chu Heng's daughter, Chu Ziluo, and Nenya were not allowed inside. They stayed in the carriage and saw their parents come out. Opening the curtain, they waved at the two.


When they reached the carriage, Chu Heng stopped.


Ye Muyu stood by his side, turning around.


Instinctively wanting to retract her hand, Chu Heng did not let go this time. Ye Muyu's fingers moved slightly but were firmly held by his intertwined fingers.


Ye Muyu's heartbeat slowed for a moment and her ears turned slightly red.


She lightly pursed her lips.


Even when Chu Heng was talking to Wang Chuan, she didn't pay much attention.


Various elusive thoughts floated through her mind. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Wang Chuan had already said goodbye to Chu Heng and left.


"Madam Ye, thank you for your hospitality today. When there's a chance, I will definitely invite my Madam Ye back." Wang Chuan smiled and bowed.


Only then did Ye Muyu come back to her senses, her ears blushing with a hint of shyness. She had actually lost focus in front of others.


"No need to be polite."


Wang Chuan nodded and then bowed to Chu Heng before turning and leaving.


After Wang Chuan left, Chu Heng, holding Ye Muyu's hand, helped her onto the carriage.
