 Chapter 423: Mutual Respect

Although Ye Muyu didn't personally count, she knew that there were at least over a thousand taels in this box.


In Chu Heng's eyes, it seemed like he didn't care much.


This man, was he deliberately saying these things to reassure her or did he truly have the talent to earn money so easily that he didn't care about this amount of silver?


Although Ye Muyu was curious, she didn't ask further. After all, if she asked more it would probably involve more of Chu Heng's private matters.


Rather than forcefully questioning him with a thick skin, it was better to let it be. With enough trust, when they were willing to be open with each other, it would naturally happen.


Human emotions always needed time to develop.


Ye Muyu gradually calmed down and a faint smile appeared on her face.


"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony. If you need silver, just ask me. I keep a ledger, I'll put it in there. If you want to check, just come and take it."


Seeing that Chu Heng was about to speak, Ye Muyu raised her head preemptively and said "Don't tell me to spend everything. I know your intentions. Since you told me not to care about this silver, I also want you to know how I spend it. How about we promise each other?"


Chu Heng originally didn't care much about this silver. He just wanted Ye Muyu to gradually get used to him and even hoped that she would rely on him completely. In other words, he hoped that she would get used to this life and wouldn't have any thoughts of leaving.


Unexpectedly, Ye Muyu responded even more sincerely than he had imagined. She had never been moved by the silver he gave, and she hadn't shown any signs of greed. She had always treated him with respect.


Respecting him as a person, as well as respecting the feelings and relationship between them.


He sighed helplessly. It seemed that using this method to win Ye Muyu's heart was not going to work.


Although this idea was shattered, Chu Heng was still in a good mood.


What else could make him happier than having the other person put him in their heart?


He just needed to put more effort into developing a closer relationship.


Ye Muyu saw Chu Heng's changing expression. It took him a while to calm down and he even smiled at the end.


It seemed that he agreed. Ye Muyu thought with a light smile.


"Alright, I understand. If I want to see the account book, I'll come and take it." Chu Heng nodded.


After a moment of contemplation, Ye Muyu added, "As for the bookstore, let's collaborate. I'll give you thirty percent of the income. How about that?"


Chu Heng thought that he had already made it clear. The silver didn't need to be taken back. It would be used on Ye Muyu and he didn't need to emphasize it at this moment to avoid causing unhappiness. So, he nodded agreeing to her proposal.


"I've brought back some annotations, as well as strategic discussions from before." Chu Heng turned to the desk, opened the box and took out several books and some exam papers.


Ye Muyu decisively accepted them.


"In three days, when the bookstore opens, please invite Third Young Master Xie and Second Young Master Du to dine at Fragrance Tower." Ye Muyu gently put away the exam papers and books.


"Alright, I'll invite them tomorrow." Chu Heng agreed.


"As for the ink you made, can I take a look?" Ye Muyu had no reason to refuse. She quickly brought out the oil soot ink from a small wooden box on the bookshelf and placed it on his desk.


She explained, "This is oil soot ink made with tung oil, lard, and other ingredients. It was inspired by Mr. Xu. I plan to add some spices once we confirm the production process."
