Chapter 319: Young Master Du, You're Really a Good Person
"No need, I can get on by myself." Ye Muyu finally found an opportunity to withdraw her hand. She had just realized that her palm was sweaty after being held firmly by Chu Heng's five fingers.
Chu Heng ignored her words entirely and simply lifted her up into the carriage, carrying her.
Ye Muyu let out a soft exhale.
Lowering her head, she saw Chu Heng's smiling and radiant handsome face. He was usually reserved and cold, and although she wasn't afraid of him, she hadn't seen this side of Chu Heng before.
One had to admit, he looked really good like this.
Ye Muyu was caught in a trance.
Chu Heng's eyes revealed a trace of victorious light but his face remained calm and composed. He asked in a deep and restrained voice. "Are you satisfied with your husband's appearance?"
"Phew... cough, cough." Ye Muyu saw the amusement in his eyes and hurriedly covered up her embarrassment. She quickly retracted her hand, bent down, and entered the carriage.
Following closely, a muffled voice full of anger came from inside "When did you learn to make jokes?"
"Aren't we going to the study? Let's go." Chu Heng, feeling somewhat smug, ignored the look of astonishment in Luchuan's eyes. He boarded the carriage, instructing, "To the study."
"Understood, Master." Luchuan was naturally shocked in his heart. Although he hadn't known Chu Heng for a long time, he knew his temperament. He didn't seem like someone who would smile. Furthermore, he had iron-handed methods. Unexpectedly, he behaved like this in front of Madam?
Luchuan's mind wandered for a long time until the carriage almost collided with a pedestrian. He quickly regained his composure and focused on driving.
Following the carriage was Zhang Shu driving a mule cart.
Upon reaching the academy, Chu Heng with the help of Luchuan, arranged for the carriage to stop at the back door of the academy.
Luchuan and Zhang Shu took eight coins, enough to buy a bowl of noodles. Following orders, they fed the horses and donkeys some fodder before leaving from the back door.
"Wasn't that Chu Heng just now?"
Du Heng passed by the two of them, holding a lunchbox sent by the servants. He recognized Luchuan at a glance. Wasn't he the person beside Chu Heng?
"Are you one of Chu Heng's men?" Du Heng stopped in his tracks, reaching for Luchuan's sleeve.
Luchuan instinctively moved to the side to avoid Du Heng's hand, which missed its target. Du Heng made a surprised sound.
"According to Master Du's words, it was indeed the Master. May I ask if you have any business?" Luchuan immediately changed the subject.
Du Heng didn't dwell on the matter of his agile movements and instead raised the lunchbox in his hand, saying proudly, "Last time during the Dragon Boat Festival, we had a day off. I wanted to have lunch with Chu Heng. I specially ordered braised pork knuckles from Piaoxiang Restaurant."
"But Madam is here. I'm afraid it's not convenient." In the past, Luchuan would not say such words. However, it was evident that Master was very happy to see Madam today and having more outsiders around might be considered a disturbance.
Du Heng's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'Madam.' "Madam is here?"
"You should have said so earlier. I've been wanting to meet Madam."
"It's in the study, right? I'll go now."
Luchuan hesitated for a moment but before he realized it, he reached out and grabbed Du Heng. Du Heng glared at him.
"Master Du, I haven't reported your arrival to the Master yet."
